A. M. Franklin, the newly elected shoi

day morn ; ng and immediately entered
upon the duties of the office.
With Mr. Franklin the r< sponsibilities
of this office is not new to him ; it is like
stepping into harness that are ma le to fit
by "constant use and and careful wear, so
long has he been associated with the
sheriffalty *f Bartow county. Indeed, so

faithful, clever, genial and accommo
dating.

ministration was a most satisfactory one
and pup that he can always look back
upon with commendable pride

TIME'S TICKKR.
A Watch Whose History Runs Back Over
one Hundred Years.
We have been shown an old silver
watch by Mr. Charles Howard, that, be
sides being a good substantial piece of
property, has a good record of over a
hu.aired years. It belonged to tbp
father of the late Felix Franklin, and
has passsd down to its present owner.
Mr. Felix Franklin at his death, was
near a hundred yefffs o|d and carried the
watch for a long time. It .is a quaint
old piece of antiquity, very large, with
thick, projecting crystal that looks some
thing like a bull’s eye lantern. In old
tigiea when a watch was repaired the
jeweler would p}ape hjs ‘imprint,” or
card inside the oase, printed ou a piece
of paper the size of the case. This
watch has three or four of these. Mr.
Mouutcastie, who is authority ou the
subject, says there is probability but
oue other piece of mechanism of the
kind in this section. It keeps good time
and bids fair to record the millenium.

BARTOW MINERALS VINDICATED.
Capt. Peacock Comes to the Front With
Several Startling Fact* in Regard
to Our Minerals.
In the last issue of the Baltimore
Manufacturers' Record, Capt. D. W. K.
Peacock has an article, iu which he de
fends the quality of the iron and man
ganese ores of this section, as against an
article iu the Iron Age, of New York,
charging that they were of an inferior
character. He says :
“In the Iron Age, of New York, of
lfith iust., appeared an article antago
nizing the iron and manganese of this
part of our State, in which it was claimed
that the quality is so poor that there is
no market for it, aud that the only good
ore is that owned aud operated by the
Dade Coal Company, of which Jos. E.
Brown is proprietor. Why any one
wouid write such an article is a mystery
to me. Is it possible that the one who
did so is simply misled, or is it from in
terested motives ? Surely it cannot be
the former, because I cannot think any
responsible party would write so grave
an article simply from heresay evideuce,
because responsible men only write what
they know to be true. Then if from in
terested motives, where does the motive
aud the interest come in ? Was it writ
ten by some one who desires to cry
down onr property for the purpose of
getting it at a lower price than it is now
held ? I cannot account for it on any
other hypothesis, aud if this be correct,
then the motive is a most unworthy one.
Now for the facts. We have brown
iron ore in great abuudauce and of tine
quality. So abundant that there are
plenty of places where a thousand tons
per day might be mined for the next ten
years, and to show its quality I quote
from Prof. H. C. White, State Chemist
at the University of Athens, Ga.
Sample brown iron ore furnished by
A. R. McCutcheu.
Metalift iron.... 61.100 per ct.
Sulphur O.OOS “ “
Phosphorous ... ... 060 “ “
Sample gray iron ore by same party.
Metallic iron 64.500 per ct.

Phosphorus 021 ** “
Sample manganese ore from same party:

Equivalent to metalie manganese 51,975 “ “.

Sulphur .008 “ “
Phoaphf rus 120 “ “

Sulphur . 010 “ •
I’ho-pli >lllß 065 “ “

V\ aler and organic matter. 1015 “ “
The foregoing analyses were made as
before stated by Prof. H. C. White, of
the State University at Athens, Cn.,
from samples of ore obtained from the
mines by A. K. McCutcheu, geologist,
and I imagine it would be hard for the
correspondent of the Iron Age to find
two men who stand more highly than do
these gentlemen, and I am very sure any
mau who understood his business would
be slew iu questioning their reports.
I do not own any of these lands or
mines, but as a citizen of this State I
feel I would be .derelict in my duty were
I to let so gross a statement pass without
notice. D. W. K. Peacock.

Death of an Infant.
Death has visited a household among
us. This time it has taken a beautiful
and sweet little babe, the daughter of our
nearest neighbors and best friends, Mr.
and Mrs. J. L. Irick.
As I looked upon the beautiful face of
the little sleeper, (for she locked as natu
ral as when she slept,) my heart went
out in sympathy for the bereaved parents
and relatiyes. I could imagine how lone
ly they would all feel, hut the saddest of
all will be that devoted mother, who,
many and many times, will clasp it in
imagination to her warm, loving heart.
Many will be the nights she will feel the
warm little form huddling close to her
side, as she sleeps and dreams ot her an
gelic darling. The greatest consolation
is, that it is relieved of its sufferings, and
now rests in the bosom of Him who gave.
Now they have one more inducement for
them to hold out faithful to the end.
I know not of a couple who can more
sincerely say: “The Lord giveth, and the
Lord has taken away: blessed be the
name of the Lord.” Fannie Battle Irick
was born 28th of July, 1886. Died the
15th of Doc., 1886.
“I take this little l.irab, said He,
And lay her in my breast ;
Protection she s'-ail And in Me,
In Me, be ever ble-sed.
His words the happv parents hear,
And shout with joys divine;
O, Savior, all we h v.\ and are,
shall be lorever Thine.”
Massdale, Jan. 12, Crofton.
A Nortliwestern Patriot.
We have just received a letter from a
patriotic citizen of Granville, Ohio, en
closing remittance for a continuance of
his subscription to the Courant, in
which he says: “I am as much interested
in the South as in the North, and I hope
the time will soon come when there will
be no seotional feeling or waving of the
bloody shirt for political ends or any
other purpose. Jt can he no patriotic or
Christian spirit that is interested in
keeping up sectional strife or hatred, and
I think all goo l people of the North are
as ready to praise the piogressive quali
ties aud grand achievements of the
South as they are of their own part of
the country.”
This conservative Westerner is tilled
with a spirit that is not universal in his
section, but one that is growing ; and
fU lch credit is due to his sort for its
spread.

BARTOW’S BULLETIN.
OUR CORRESPONDENTS NOTE THE
INCIDENTS OF THEIR NEIGH
BORHOODS.
And Dish Then Up in a Delectable Shape
For Our Reader*.
Adairsville Notes.
The new year ojiens upon us finding
our people cheerful, acd generally in a
better condition than for some years past.
There was not the unlimited credit given
the farmere last year. Crops were made
on the.resources of the farm, and not on
supplies purchased at the bankrupt rates
of credit. The result is, that compara
tively few of our farmers have those fear
ful things known as lien netes to pay off.
It may have beeu hard to deny one’s sell
the pleasure of giving the children and
the good wife an extra dress or two; it
may have been harder work to make ma
nure at home and let the humbug fertiliz
ers alone, but the sweet realization of no
debts mrkes the fire burn brigiiter, and
the wife happier and the heart of the old
man lighter these cold winter days. Just
another year or two of self-denial, of
steady work, and careful,economical and
judicious farm management, and this paat
of Bartow county w ill be independent,
prosperous and happy. God grant it.
The merchants at Adairsville are very
cheerful. While they say that 3alcs have
not been as laige, quite, as when the
credit plan whs their portion, yet collec
tions are easily made, and but few of
these to run down.
Messrs,Earl & McCollum haye dissolved,
McCollum continuing at the old stand,
while Mr. Earl occupies the store house
of Col. Gray, in which he has fitted up a
convenient arid comfortable postoffice.
We wish those gentlemen, in their sin
gleness, the prosperity they enjoyed when
yoked together. We have no clever a
citizen than E. B. E irl; none that is
more lull of laudable enterprise and pro
gressive spirit.
There is much being said of the new
railroad from Rome to Gainesville. Letters
received here give the assurance that the
route via Adairsville, Pine Log and Ball
Ground will be surveyed shortly. This
will certainly give Rome an excellent
feeder aud open one of the finest and most
productive countries in the State. Our
people are strongly alive to the importance
of building the road and will do all that
can in reason be expected of them.
The new town council organized by

Capt. Newton opens the Classical Insti

Dr. J. H. King is now completing a very

Mr. Wm. Capers, son of Col. Henry D.

Hall’s Mills Doings,
Well Christmas has come and gone and
another year is upon us, we have had a
very nice time during the holidays eating
nice dinners, hunting with our friends and
amusing ourselves with visitors from
abroad, sucb as Messrs. George and John
Sherman from Louisiana who were raised
in our midst, Mr. Wood and family, from
Cedartown, Mr. Dantzler, of Alabama,
Mrs. Burns and son of Gordon county,
and several others. When such visitors as
the above mentioned come in, we can
have a nice time, if the most of our young
folks have moved off.
Mr. James Harris, of Kingston, one of
our former Sunday school superinten
dents, met with our school on Sunday in
Christmas and gave us quite an interest
ing talk upon the subject “Time,” which
was very appropriate tor the occasion, his
speecli was yery pointed and deiiyered in
splendid style, besides there were several
of his scholars that had grown up and
moved off into other countries several
years ago, and had come back to spend
the holidays with us, wnich made the oc
casion very interesting. We hope Mr. H.
will come to see us often.
Mr. Joe Shaw, of this place was mar
ried to Miss Annie Dantzler, of Kingston,
a few days before Christmas. They have
gone to Collinsville, Ala., to spend a few
weeks with the family of the bride’s father.
We extend to them our heartiest congratu
lations and best wishes for their future
life.
Mr. T. S. Edwards, one of Hall’s most
prominent young men, is selling goods lor
Mr. Gillam, of Kingston. It is our loss
and Kingston’s gain We wish him much
success.
Mr. Edwards is making quite an im
provement on our town, macadamizing
the sidewalks, cross streets, etc., also pre
paring to put a bridge across the creek,
something ihat has long been needed.
We heard one of our farmers say, “a man
that will go on another man’s place with
his fine breech loading gun and pointer
dog and kill his birds when he knows it
is strictly forbidden, may be be a gentle
man, but he doubts it.”
Mrs. James Burns and her charming
litile daughter, Nellie, are visiting rela
tives in Rome.
As unlikely as the weather was last
Sunday evening, our new pastor for this
year met a small congregation and
preached a yery Impressive sermon. We
like his style and length very much.

We have a “Small Boy” who reports to
the Cherokee Advance. He said in his
last week’s issue that all the gentlemen
who are candidates for matrimony should
announce it through the press. I think
this 13 a sly way of inquiring who his
rivals are. My boy, if ibis be your ob

FICKLE FORTUNES FAVORS.
THE COLORED RACE IN LUCK.
Ex-Gov Wzrmoth's former ConcliitaD Se
cures One-Tenth of the Capital Prize
of $150,000 in The Louisiana
State Lottery.
In the recent drawing of T' ; Louisiana
State Lottery Cos., held on the !4tn inst.,
j No. 93,174 won the capital prize, and part
! of this ticket, it was announced, had been
sold in the city of New Orleans. Next
day Mr. Bendernagel, an esteemed local
notary public, announced over his signa
ture that he had been paid, “on account
of one of his clients.'’ the amount due for
one-tenth of the capital prize. There was
a find, but it was evident from the tenor
of the certificate that the winner did not
desire the publication of his name. Was
it nly a bluff? Here was the rub. But
the Pelican is a fly bird, and not easily
caught with chaff. It had determined to
probe the mystery to the bottom, and it
wbs going to do it. It meant to beat the
daisy reporters of the great daily papers,
and it has done it. It instituted a still
hunt, and after patunt. search it* succeed
ed. The man who won the $15,000 lives,
exists, and has a being. His name is Dan
iel Jones. lie is a colored man of excel
lent reputation, and resides on Gasquet
street, and can be seen at his place of bus
iness at Theo. Dumas’ furniture store,
No. 257 Royal street, where he is at pres
ent employed. The Pelican regrets not
to have as yet made the acquaintance of a
m m upon whom fortune has so deserved
ly smiled, but it did the next best thing
tb it by seeing his wife, Mr. Jones not be
ing at home. Mrs. Joues, who was just
moving into her new residence, was found
to be a comely and intelligent lady of
perhaps 35 years of age. She received
the Pelican very kindly, and cheerfully
furnished ali the information in her
power. Her husband, who is 57 . yea- 3of
had not told her where he purchase., his
ticket, not anything about it. until the
golden shower poured into their laps so
unpeetedly, and just in the nick of time,
a mortgage upon their property of $1,200
having been foreclosed, and they having
befen in imminent danger of losing it.
Her husband was born in Louisville, Ky.,
but had lived in this city for many years.
He had always beeu a hard-working la
boring man, had worked for railroads for
many years, and had been employed in
the Custom-house and United States
Mint. He had also been the private coach
man of ex-Governor Warmoth, but Mrs.
Jones did not care to haye this fact men
tioned, as ifmight hurt their reputation
as old and respectable citizens. The Pel
ican, however, begs pardon of the lady
for mentioning the fact, even against her
wish, it being fully germaine to the sub
ject, and whatever may be the ex-Gover
nor’s merits or demerits, there could no
disgrace attach to honest laboi,even in
his employ. Mrs. Jones herself was born
and bred in this city, and was a Miss
Jones before she married. They had been
married for a number of years, and had
two children,, boys, of 16 and 12 years
respectively, who haye been attending
Straight University.
While grateful to a kind Providence for
this bountiful gift, these good and deserv
ing people appe tr to have in no wise “got
above themselves” by then- good luck.
They have kept right on working, and
have not even as yet marked out any
plan for the employment of their wealth,
except that Mr. Jones has resolved upon
a visit to Louisville, where resides his on
ly living relative, a sister, whom he baa
not seen for twenty years.
It would thus appear that fortune, al
though described as blind, has not made at
mistake this time, but that her blessing
have fallen iuto the hands of worthy peo
ple, who will know how to make a good
and sensible use of them.—New Orleans
(La.) Pelican, 25, 1886.

About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pro
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied
was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before f had need
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing np. My general
health had been oad for two or three years—l had a hacking cougn and spit blood contin
ually. I had a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. 3. my cough left
me I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all bet
a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.
