’ROOM) ABOI'T IN BARTOW. Various Happenings in the Sever al Neighborhoods. Noted Carefully and Terxely for Courant. American Reader* by Our. Übiq uitous Reporter!*. BtBTOW IKON WORKS If any person has a desire to view a scene of vandalism and utter destruction of valuable property he has only to spend an hour or so in looking over the once valuable property of the Bartow Iron Works situated on the W. &. A. R. It five miles South from Cartersville. From some, to the writer, unknown cause this, one of the most valuable plants ever worked in Bartow couuty wusshut down in 1873 and as soon as the owners or proprietors abandoned it began its de struction. For several years the buildings have been occupied by different parties, some of whom, be it said to their shame have exercised nocare whatever of the shelters that protected them from wind, rain, or snn, rent free, but on the contrary, have destroyed other unoccupied buildings to procure fuel with which to warm their lazy carcasses or cook their scanty meals. Some of them, too trifling to go out to get even this kind of fuel, have resorted to tearing up the flooring and ceiling of their unoccupied rooms. Even the once elegantly furnished store room has been robbed of its shelving and counters, not mentioning the tearing off the lathing of the plastered walls. The window frames of some of the brick buildings have also gone the same way and the slutting on the south side of the depot building lias been torn off. When this place was in full blast more than fifty buildings were here and now not over twenty are fit lor occupancy. The present citizens of our town are sociable clever people and will compare favorably with any portion of thecounty. Mrs. Will Corbin, of Rome, (la., was down on visit to her parents, Judge Holland and family. Little Miss Lillie S.ymmes, of Atlanta, is spending a few weeks with relatives in this place testing the virtue of our justly celebrated mineral water with encourag ing results. She is a sweet intelligent lit tle lassie and we hope her stay in our midst will prove as beneficial to her health as she deserves and her friends desire. Miss Alice Duckett spent a day or so in our town with friends. She is quite a favorite with all our people. I)r. Colquitt and family are located in our burg, unfortunately the health of this place is rather discouraging to the Doctor but it is a long lane that has no turn. Be cheertul, Doctor, spring will soon be here and some fellow will proba bly over-eat himself and give you a Bhowiug. Our school closed last Friday, but Prof. Flynn and family will probably remain with us some time. He represents the Atlanta Evening Journal and is doing that paper faithful service. Capt. Geo. Maddox has lately become a citizen of our place but continues his school at Riverside. He carries a pretty good school with him every morning. We regret to learn there is a movement on foot to remove our worthy postmas ter at Emerson. This should not be done. He voted right in the last Presi dential election to retain the place and two years ago when no one could be pre vailed upon to accept the place, rather than have the office discontinued al though there was no pay in it, Mr. ('hit wood accepted it and has faithfully dis charged the duties thereof and now it will pay ten or fifteen dollars per quarter he should be allowed to retain it. The first quarterly meeting for this cir cuit was held at the Methodist church in Emerson last Saturday and Sunday. Our church days, we attend at Emer son, are: first Sunday, Rev. A. G, Demp sey, Methodist; second Saturday and Sunday, Rev. A. Buford, Baptist; third Saturday and Sunday, Rev. Mr. Holmes, Methodist. Sunday school every Sun day at the Baptist church at 10 o’clock, H. V. Jones, superintendent. Rev. Mr. Dempsey will not be with us until the first Sunday in June, having j-ecalled his appointment for May. Bosfpriobus. Warner’s Log Cabin Remedies—old lashioned, simple compounds, used in the days of our hardy forefathers, are “old timers” but “old reliable.” They comprise a • Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsaparilla “Hops and Buchu Remedy,” Cough and “Consumption Remedy,” “Hair Tonic,” “Extract,” for External and Internal Use, “Plasters,” “Rose Cream,” for Catarrh, and “Liver Pills.” They are put up by H. H. Warner & Cos., proprie tors of Warner’s Safe Remedies, and promise to equal the standard value of those great preparations. All druggists keep them. ADAIKSVILLE Mrs. A. L. Dealing is visiting her dai%hter, Mrs. H. K. Nicholson, in At lanta. Miss Alice Reed is with relatives in Rockmart. In returning home, Dr. Felton carries with him sjiecitnens of wheat not easily matched, from the productive soil of our immediate viciuity. Miss S. Chitton is visiting friends in Calhoun. The Bartow' County Singing Conven tion assembles here May 4th. Every preparation will be made in receiving and entertaining this body of visiting brethren, Sunday schools and singing class** are requested to be represented in this convention by oneor more delegates that the general status of this great ad junct to Sunday schools may be known. Messrs. D. B. Mull, Theo Luther and N. 0. Anderson are made the committee on arrangements, who will see that our visi tors are properly taken care of. Vioraon county’s convention of class music meets in I’lainville next Saturday and Sunday and we are to be represented there from the Methodist church by J. P. Tomlinson and P. Owens; Poplar Spring, T. B. Powers and P. B Mayfield; Bap tist church sends Messrs. Oscar Reed and Henry Rlantpn. All of whom no doubt will demonstrate Adairsviile talent and interest shown in music. It was our villas pleasure and enjoy ment in attending the Methodist church last Sunday and listening to an able dis course from Dr. Felton who preached from the 16th chapter of John, part of the 32nd verse. The Doctor’s array of illustrations and force of arguments meets an audience with a marked degreeof attentiveness, and on this occasion as in the rest, it isasense of profound pleasure to listen at our much esteemed friend. His beautiful as well as chaste talk to the Sunday school, though in few words had its effect and was much appreciated. Rev. Mr. Shaw has been holding a series of prayer meetings at the Methodist church, using as a text “Con verson.” The attendance is not ns it should be. The reverend gentleman’s earnestness and energy in furthering the cause of Chris tianity deserves a largernudieuce. Come out and give him your attention. A young M. D. was called in to stop the proceedings of alien, who had begun to make a nest in a pigeon box on top of the house. His mother now adds this feat performed, us foot note in his diploma. After a long illness, Mrs. E. H. Penn died here at her home Saturday evening at 9% o’clock. To Mr. Penn and relatives of the deceased we extend our profound sympathy in this hour of their bereave ment. Redmond. II Al.t’S MILLS. Married, on the 3rd inst., by Rev. .T. T. Lowe, Mr.*W. H. Kitcbeusand Miss Anna Dyar, The groom is one of our most promising young men, and the bride is a charming young lady of “sweet sixteen.” We congratulate them most heartily, und hope their career in life may be peace, happiness and prosperity. Preaching at the Methodist church Sunday, by the pastor, assisted by Rev. Bass, of Dalton. The services w ere very impressive, and listened to by a large and attentive congregation. We were about to conclude last Satur day that Mr. Hick’s prophecies were coming true. The wind was fearful. April appears to be a windy month, yet all nature seems to be donning its robe of beautiful green, so much appreciated by all. Everybody and everything seems to be cheerful. Miss Addie Baltzell visited our town last week. We are always glad to see her, and hope she will come again soon. The Courant-A merican always receives a warm reception here. We are proud of our county paper. Occasional. Dr. R. A. Gunn, M. D., Dean and Pro fessor of Surgery of the United States Medical College, Editov of “Medical Tri bune,” Author of “Gunn’s New Improved Hand-book of Hygiene and Domestic Medicine,” says: “Belonging as Ido to a brunch of the profession which believes that no School of Medicine knows all the truth regarding disease, and being inde pendent enough to any remedy that will help my patients without relereuce to the source from which it comes, I am willing to acknowledge and commend thus frankly the value of Warner’s Sule Cure.” i’.VriS STATION. Mrs. J. F. Hargis, of Kingston, spent last week with relatives at Cass, We are glad to say that Mrs. J. W. Bracewell, who has been very ill, is now much better. Wesiucerely hope that she may soon be restored toiler usual health. About the happiest man in our com munity is Mr. Randolph Walker. An other fine boy is the latest arrival at his house. Mr. Whaley, from near Stone Mountain, visited his daughter Mrs.J. W. Bracewell, last week. Miss Lucie May Hargis, who hag been attending school in Macon, is spending several weeks at home. Mr. D. R. Gaines, the tomb stone man, was here last week. On acount of the literature not arriv ing in time our Sunday school was not organized last Sunday; bnt one will be organized next Sunday morning at niue o’clock, at Wofford Academy. Every man, woman and child in thecommunitv should be sure to attend. How t much better it will be for the young people to be in the Sabbath school under good influences than to be wandering aimlessly about or sitting around home reading a newspaper. Mrs. J. I). Rogers, of Kingston, visited relatives here last week. The spelling club met at the residence of Judge J. P. Hawks in Cassyille Friday night. There was a large crowd present and a very enjoyable evening was spent. Capers G. Quillian and Will C. Walton were appointed captains, and after cho6- ing sides the spelling began and lasted quite a while. One by one the spellers OUR FIRST WORD IS, BARGAINS. PREPARE TO BE PLEASED. Never have better goods been shown; never have greater varieties been offered. Never have ju ices been so low than are now quoted bv *.]. P. JONES,*- The Regulator of Low Prices. Next to King Credit the most frequent cause of failure, is the grasping fatal avarice of unfair profits. The desire to make the most of a sale to get all the profits possible out of the customer, has been the ruin of many merchants. There is a right and wrong way to sell goods. Big prices will not do in these times, when even the wealthy cannot afford to waste their money and the pool- require double duty of every dollar and every penny. What is the use of wasting a dollar when you may save it?

As I have been givimr up to “Spl Me’’ the past few weeks 1 will try my luck again, not that I think I can beat “Sal’’ but want the people to know thtvPl am still alive. But before Igo any farther I will give a description of our town. Stilesboro is situated on the East & West R. R., 9% miles west of Cartersville, is in a healthy climate, and is bounded with some of the very finest farming and mineral lands that Bartow can produce. It has the praise of being the most civi lized place in existence. Its population is about 250 inhabitants. It has as good schools according to its size as any town m the State. It has three general merchandise stores, which do a large business annually, and two other stores, one warehouse, one chair factory, three blacksmith shops, and several 'photo graph galleries. Well, I guess I have given the boro enough praise for the present, but can say to those who want a good place to locate, can do no better than come to Stilesboro. The farmers club met at Mr. N. B. Can non’s last Saturday. All the members were present but one. They had a joy ous time talking about their crops and smoking cigars. At twelve o'clock din ner was announced and they marched in to the table, which was filled with all kinds of good things too numerous to mention. Mr. L. F. Shaw, of Taylors vil’e, walked six miles and waded the creek for his dinner. Messrs. W. E. Puckett and J. E. Jolly were in Atlanta Monday. Miss Cora Hammond visited her pat ents at Taylorsville Saturday and Sun day. Duchie. Frederick T. Roberts, M. I)., Physician to and Professor of Clinical Medicine at University College Hospital, London, Eug., says: “Bright’s Disease has no symptoms of its own, and may long ex ist without the knowledge of the patient or practitioner, as no pain will be felt in the kidneys or that vicinity.” This ac counts for many people dying with Bright’s Disease, or advanced kidney malady. The disease is not suspected until it reaches a fatal period. If<WarTi er’s Safe Cure is used at the proper time* the fatality from that terrible disease would be greatly decreased. Dr. Thomp son also says “More adults are carried off in this country by chronic kidney dis ease than by any other one malady ex cept consumption.” Newspaper Criticism. It is a privilege every newspaper reserves to itself to criticise, adversely if needs be, for the public’s benefit, anything in which the public is deeply interested. It is the custom of H. H. Warner & Cos., proprietors of the renowned Kidney and Liver Cure, better known as “Warner’s Safe Cure,” to flood the country, and especially the post offices, with medical pamphlets. The writer has taken the liberty toexamineoneof these marvelous little books, and finds food for criticism, but before indulging in it, will give our readers some quotations therefrom, from the highest medical authorities, which we believe worthy of consideration. Under the head of “No Distinctive Symptoms Apparent,” we find: First—More adults are carried off in this country by chronic kidney disease than by any other one malady except consumption.—Thomas. Second —Deaths irorn such diseases are increasing at the rate of 250 per cent a decade. —Edwards. Third—Bright’s Disease has no symp toms of its own, and may long exist without the knowledge of the patient or practitioner, as no pain will be felt in the kidneys or their vicinity.—Roberts. Fourth—ln the fatal cases —and most cases have hitherto been fatal —thesymp- toins of diseasesed kidneys will first ap pear in extremely different organs of the body as stated above. —Thompson. Fifth—Only when the disease has reached its final and fatal stages may the usual svmptomsof albumen and tube casts appear in the water, and will great pain rack the diseased organs.—Thomp son. Sixth —Bright’s Disease which usually has three stages of development, is a universal disease in England and Amer ica.—Roberts and Edwards. * Thompson isauthority for saying that more adults are carried off in this coun try by kidney disease than by any other malady except consumption. Under Warner's “SafeCure”articleonConsump toin, we find a paragraph claiming to be a quotation from a publication issued by Bromptou Hospital for Consumptives, London, England, which states that 52 i per cent, of the patients of that institu [ tion have unsuspected kidney disorder. I Dr. Herman Brehmer, an eminent German authority also says that Consumption is always due to deficient nutrition of the lungs, because of bad blood. Medical science can no longer dispute the fact that the kidneys are the princi pal blood purifying organs of the human system, and if they arediseased and thus fail to expel the uric acid poison or the waste matter of the blood, as the blood passes through these two great organs, the “Safe Cure’’ claim is correct, and the reasoning of its proprietor holds good.

We cannot, however, see the necessity of continually flooding the country w ith these advertising medical books, when their story once well told is enough for the time being. People as a rule, now-a days, go to their newspaper for informa tion, and we believe such truths as we have instanced could be proclaimed theriu more advantageous to the public and much more beneficially to the pro prietors. “Ayer’s Hair Vigor is a most excellent preparation for the hair. 1 speak of it from experience.

Humors, Blotches, Sores, Scales, Crusts, and Loss of Hair Cured. Terrible Blood Poison. Suffered all a man could suffer and live. Face and body covered with awful sores. Used the Cuticura Remedies teu weeks and is practically cured. A remarkable case. I contracted a terrible blood-poisoning a year ago. 1 doctored with two good physicians, neither of whom did me n.y good. I suffered all a man can suffer and live. Hearing of your Coticitra Remedies I concluded to try them, knowing if they dtd me no good they could make me no worse. 1 have been using them about ten weeks, and am most happy to say that 1 am al most rid of the iwlui sores that covered my face and body. My face was as bad, if not worse, than that of Miss Boynton, spoken of in your book, and I would say to any one in the same condition, to use Cuticura, and they will surely he cured.
