the town have inaugurated a movement
to establish a home for penitent, erring

good old Augusta.
The senate concurrent resolutions pro

to take iuto consideration the expediency

of twelve dollars per mouth because they
could not connect the death of their hus
bands with their military service, while
in this case it is not claimed that, the
death of Gen. Logan is due to his ser
vice in the army. Jt is also said that if
congress should pass this bill, fairness
would require that the widows of hun
dreds of generals and admirals should
receive similar pensions which would
occasion an eiicrmous iuorease of the
peusiou rolls. A similar report was
made in the case of the bill to increase
the pension of the widow of Gen. Frank
Riair,
OVU BOOM.
We are happy to note in all the signs
an indication that “the t>oom” has
struck old Bartow at 1 tat. Never before
baa inquiry f >r our mineral properties
been more active. Our agricultural
lands too are beginning to receive some
degree of that attention from capitalists
which they so richly deserve. City and
to An property is constantly increasing
in value. More than one railroad will
soon pierce onr borders. Furnaces aud
manufactories are promised us. In fact
our immediate future seems bright with
the pronuse of an enduring prosperity.
Wore we at liberty to disclose the com
bination of intelligence and capital
which is about to make Bartow the most
noted locality in the south, our readers
wou'd understand the faith that is in us.
Suffice it to say that a'l the intelligence
and skill and capital necessary for the
purpose will contribute to the eToit to
make this county the must important
manufacturing centre of the south.
And now will our readers pardon ns a
word more ?
We most earnestly hope that our citi
zens will not drive away capital by
exliorbitaut prices. Ba reasonable.
Bear in mind that capital is conservative
and cautious, leave tho purchaser with
some margin for profit, and a little
money over after paying yr.nr price.
Let the rumor go abroad that property
is put so high that uo prudent man can
buy here, anil inquiring capital will
seek other places for investment. Let
us encourage bona fide purchasers by a
fair, reasonable aud libcr.il line of con
duct.
Another word : There are men among
us, aud there will bo many more in a
short while, who arc in chase of ‘“op
tions.” Now’, when “be laud sought to
bo purchased is undeveloped mineral
property, there is reason in the demand
of the buyer to be allowed time to test
its value by mining and analysis before
closing tho trade. In such cases the
optiou secures to him the benefit of liis
work of development, aud if that labor
proves tho property worthless no rea
sonable man would wish him bound.
But in the case of city properties and
agricultural lauds, the value of which
may be determined by the purchaser at
once, the taker of an option simply
moans if your land goes up I pocket the
profit you might have made. If it goes
down why you can keep it. All such
trades as these should be avoided and
discountenanced. Let tho owners of
property who desire to sell, sell reasona
bly. If they wish to hold let them hold
for themselves.
And finally : Let us all pull together
for the glory of old Bartow. Discounte
nance litigation. Welcome the stringer
to our gates. Make his inquiring way
plain and easy. If lie wants to trade
trade with him, but leave him money
enough to get away if he wants to go.
Let us thank God, and “let her boom.’
GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
On the first page of this week’s Cour
ant-Americah will be found the general
presentments of the grand jurors for the
third week of our present term of court.
The paper is a line one and should be read
by every one that has a chance to do so.
Our county poor farm, according to these
able jurymen, is a dead failure, and the
gentlemen are not slow in saying as much
and very promely come forward with a
remedy. The county poor farm, our most
important institution of a charitable na
ture, should be in the care and attention
of capable and conscientious parties. The
presentments disclose the fact that there
are a great many indigents receiving pub
lic funds who are not at the poor farm, are
assisted at their homes, which arrange
ment, made by our county commissioners,
seems to give satisfaction. The jury
tersely remarks : “Believing this pauper
farm as it is, and has been for years past,
to be productive of no good, but rather of
evil, and a foul blot on the good character
of our county, we join in the recommen
dations of former grand juries for its
sale.”
VVliat a reflection on the grand old
record of Bartow ! Our greatest charity
institution ’‘productive of no good,” and
our people taxed to pay the expenses of
keeping up an institution ‘•productive of
no good,” and then the charger’s
Haunted in their faces that it is a “foul
blot upon the good character of the coun
ty !” This is certainly a most miserable
state of affairs, and the honest jury that
had the backbone to “stand up in meetin’”
and say so should receive the thanks of
our whole people. Let the institution be
done away with by all means, or bring it
to the standard of excellent management
the people pay for and expect.
The jury also paralyzes us with the
startling fact that land, lots containing
gne hundred and sixty acres, are returned
at the pitiful sums of two or throe dollars.
The same lots, we venture to say, could
not have been bought during the stirring
times of the past week for good round
sums. This is unjust, a direct discrimina
tion between the rich and poor—one that
should be condemned by every right
thinking man. The jury also speak some
what roughly in connection with this low
valuation matter, and justly too.
These presentments make good reading ;
the jury do not throw off important ques
tions by simply referring to them. They
go into detail,a virtue most grand juries are
not given to Judge Fain, in his remarks
in discharging the deserving gentlemen of
the jury, paid them a hue compliment,
assorting they had rendered the finest
presentments of any jury from this court
iu seyeral years. He called attention to
the importance of going into detail in im
portant matters, so necessary for the thor
ough understanding of the people of the
county.
We made the remark last week that the
juiy was not composed of the ‘usual
half rate” jurors, and we are more than
glad to deny any intention of taking St
back.
HONORS FOR A BARTOW BOY .
Bartow Milner, editor of the Eastman
Times, has been elected mayor of his town
by a handsome majority Bartow has al
ways been considered by his friends in this
section as a young man of much promise
He had the grit to “get there Eli,” and
all will be glad to know how well he is
getting there. He is now editor, a prop
erty holder, mayor of the town in which
he lives, and to cap the climax, he is newly
married. The Macon News has this to
say of our old friend :
“Mr E B Milner, editor of the East
man Times, was yesterday elected mayor
of his city. Mr. Milner went to that place
about five years ago an unknown printer
boy By close attention to business and
the most exemplary conduct he acquired
means and gained reputation and populari
ty, and now, at the early age of 2:3, he is
editor and associate proprietor of the city
paper, mayor of Eastman, and, more than
all, he has recently married a young,
beautiful and charming lady Many boys
with early advantages and family and for
tune reach 2:3 with a less enviable record
than E. B Milner, and oh, with what real
joy the women in every part of this land,
and all the men wlio love their fellow
creatures and are gladdened by the sue
cess of honest effort—how they rejoice to
know that young Milner, though never
heaid of before, has met the life struggle
like a man and conquered like a hero.
Even the bitterest misanthrope looks with
respect and admiration on those achieve
ments which have been performed only
after groping through the valleys and
battling against the giants. Success, hap
piness, prosperity and a long and useful
life to E. B. Milner.”
The murder of a negro boy in Madi
son county several weeks ago by Edward
Seagravea has resulted in the recapture
of a murderer, whose whereabouts had
been forgolton. Eight years ago W. L.
Seagravea was a respected citizen of
Athens. In a quarrel with Edward
Royal, ho struck him across the head
with a tobacco box aud killed him. Sea
graves was found guilty of manslaughter
and sentenced to twelve years in the
penitentiary. In a few weeks his family
left the city and soon the whole affair was
forgottou entirely. It was supposed that
Seagraves was serving out his term, but
it happened that he really escaped in a
few weeks after he was seat to the prison
camp. When the prison authori ies
heard of tho recent murder by Ed. Sea
graves they concluded that he was their
man. On arriving at tho spot they found
he wa3 the sou of W. L. Seagraves. but
that the father was there also. The
refugee had joined his family, and in a
quiet neighborhood was building up a
competence. He was arrested and
lodged in jail in Atlanta. The Govern
or will be asked to p udou him.
A tunnel has been made into tlio side
of Lookout Mountain about two miles
from the heart of the city, and GOO feet
above the average level of the lower
grouuds on which Chattanooga is built.
An underground creek lias been tapped
which furnishes a never varying stream
of clear, cold water about ten inches in
diameter. This water is now conducted
to the reservoir in the city by the force
of gravity.
A lovely young woman, named Mrs.
Lina Swaffield, in company with her
physician and friends, passed through
Atlanta Friday, en route for Florida,
where it is hoped that a change of scene
and air may prove a remedy for the terri
ble malady of insanity, which has re
cently taken possession of her. The case
is one of peculiar sadness. Endowed
with remarkable beauty and intelligence,
she was the belle of her native town, of
Beverly, Mass., and on last New Year’s
night, she married a prominent young
merchant, whom she loved devotedly.
Two weeks ago, the young husband, in
company with several companions, went
from Beverly on a hunting expedition,
and one ol the party who had been a
rival of Mr. Swaffield, inspired by a
fiendish impulse, hastened home in ad
vance of the others and, ir. a dramatic
manner, gave Mrs. Swaffield the false in
formation that her husband w r ns killed.
She instantly fell into a death like swoon
which lasted many hours, and w’hen she
finally recovered from it her mind was
found to be shattered. Even the teuder
words and caresses of her distracted hus
band have thus far proved unavailing,
and from violent paroxysms she has
passed into a state of deep melancholy
that is distressing to behold. It is hoped
that time and the tender attentions which
are being bestowed upon her may lead to
ultimate recovery. The miserable cause
ot the trouble is himself ne irly insane
with grief and remorse at the lesult of
what he says was meant lor a “practical
joke.”
At Dalton, when it became known on
Wednesday night that William llolman,
the murderer of Matilda Gudger, would
not be hanged Friday, because of an ap
peal to the Supreme Court, intense ex
citement was created. The Sheriff, hav
ing been warned of an intention to lynch
the prisoner, hurriedly rushed him off to
Gordon county jail.

Half a dozen years ago it seemed im
possible for Wide Awake to be more
beautiful or more attractive, yet year
after year it has gone on, adding now
features and developing old ones, until it

and il ustrations furnish an inexhaustible
reservoir of entertainment and instruction
for the members of the fami y circ o, old
as we 1 as young, and its monthly visit is
like a rav of golden sunshine in the house

for a first-class magazine for children in
the way of amusement, solid valuable
reading, stimulating thoughts and sug
gestions and artistic illustrations. The

It contains about a hundred pages cram

Lookout For the Whistle When the En
gine litoWS.
Never in the history of a prospective
railroad was there so many conjectures as
to the probable route this great central
highway will take. Our Adairsville
neighbors feel confident it will split their
town wide open. While the sixth dis
trict mothers scare their squalling brats
into obedience by telling them “the rail
road is coming and if they don’t hush the
cars wi 1 run over them.” Halls Station
is in a crustaeious state ready to hatch out
into a big boom over her probabilities.
“Jackie,” your Kingston staff, retails

struts out a full fledged bantam rooster,
flapping his wings and irowing with
li'iputian might, while her two colonels
spit tobacco through their fingers, drive
the stakes for the depot and appoint an
agent and an express messenger. Bat
tlesboro is all aglow. Possum Trot is
ablaze. Curtersville is on fire. Iron
ville’s magnate and future millionaire is
syndicating and buying up all the iron
beds on or near the true route. There is
scarcely a man from the Etowah river 'o
the Gordon line who does not think that
it is more than likely that the road will
rua by his house and scare his crittors
into a horse fit. You can hear every day
a dispatch running over the grapeyine
that the surveying party have commenced
work and aie locating the route to suit
each grapevine dispatcher. Every well
dressed fellow who passes along the high
way is strongly suspicioned as being a
railroad man. Amid all this feverish ex
citement Cassville is cool and serene, and
can laugh in her sleeve at the credulity
of her neighbors. Our supreme justice
has very lately been to Rome and looked
through a couple of dozen of beer glasses
at the railroad magnates, and interviewed
a coup’e of dozjen of the big men of Rome
about the railroad route and reports that
we have a goodly prospect and will soon
enter into our inheritance. Ever since
his return he squints one eye and winks
the other, with a didn’t-I-telPyou-sort-of
a-look that has brought us to the con
viction that we are all right on the ques
tion and we will now certainly look out
for the engine when the whistle blows.

and advanced to the stage when Coughs,
pain in the chest, frequent breathing, Ire

medicine. I prescribe no other Emulsion

be the best.” febS-lin.
