The Supreme Court of Missouri has granted a stay of execution until Apiil 1 to 11. M. Brooks, ulius Walter Leonox- Maxwell, the trunk murderer, pending an appeal. The execution was to have taken place to-day. The Mit.ledgevi ole Recorder advises capitalists looking out to invest to look around its town at the vast water pow ers, etc. Probably the printer made the error; a power of water is the thing that now interests the people of that good old prohibition town. Db. Matt Alexander, oue if the leading physicians of Knoxville, Tenn., e mumtted suicide Feb. 1, by taking morphine. He had recently been dissi pated.

The property and rights of the South ern Telegraph Company were sold at public auction in Richmond, Va,, Feb. 1. The property was purchased by- James B. Pace and John S. Wise, of Richmond. The southern line extends from Washington to Selma, Ala., with numerous branches covering 1800 milts. It was bought for four hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Augusta stbes to the front with a charitable enterprise that beats the te c ird. The good women and honest men of the town have inaugurated a movement to establish a home for penitent, erring womou, where the poor creatures could tied rescue from sin aud a pathway back to rest aud a home. No work is move Christ-like, none morn heroic, and it’s gratifying to note that the project is meeting hearty commendation and linan oiul bucking from the good people of good old Augusta. The senate concurrent resolutions pro viding that a joint committee of five members of the senate and eight mem bers of the House of Representatives, to take iuto consideration the expediency of holdiug in 1892 in commemoration of the discovery of America an internation al exhibition of the all nations, and if such exhibition shall be deemed expe dient to consider the time, place and cire \mstaucos uud the general plan thereof, and to report by a bill or other wise, has been passed by the House. Chattanooga has set an example that many towns, no difference how small they may be, would do well to emulate. The R >me and Carrollton railroad peo ple made a proposition to Chattanooga to the effect that if that city would take SIOO,OJO worth of stock they would ex teud their line from Rome to that city. An election os to whether the town should issue bonds to cover that amount, was ordered, was held Tuesday, with the following result: For issuing the bonds, 2,317 against 354. Chattanooga knows how to get there and lias a fine kuack of dnug it on each and every occasion. Thf. committee of the house of repre sentatives on invalid pensions has re ported adversely on the senate bill granting a pension to Mrs. Logan, and calls attention to the fact that thousands of poor and aged widows of brave and worthy soldiers were denied the pittance 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. It is a very preva'ent and exceedingly disagreeable disease, liable, if neglected, to develop into serious consumption. Being a constitutional disease, it requires a constitutional remedy ike flood’s Sar saparilla, which, acting through the blood, reaches every part of the system, effecting a radical and permanent cure of catarrh in even it3 most severe forms.

A person can tell at once whether a le ter will go at a single postage, by simply balancing it against a silver dol lar, as that little pocket ornament, weighs xact ly the amount which Uncle Sam fferers to carry for two cents. The manufacturers of Cousscns’ Honey of Tar, the greatest remedy in the world for coughs, colds and diseases of throat and lungs, are gentlemen of the highest standing in the business world, and are at the he ad of a large establishment in St. Louis, for the manufacture of this and other reliable remedies.

But that was before I found the remedy for it inflfablers Buckeye Pile Ointment which is a never failing cure for piles. So you need look no further for a remedy if you have piles. BAHTOW*S BULLETIN.

The railroad boom that seems to be sweeping the sunny South is on the breeze, aud we think the wave will reich our place soon as we see Pine Log his adver tised for a railroad meeting the 10th of this month. We sometimes get in a hurry, and feel just like it was almost train time. Mr. O. J. Moore, form* r teacher ct Stamp Creek, passed through our place eu route to and from Fairmount. We are rather suspicious that “she” lives at Fair mount. How is it, Jo ? We learn with interest that as the weather grows better the Pine Long Sun day school grows in number. Hope to see her flourish, as our heart is with them iu the good work. We believe that the Courant-American is going to be the greatest success of any county paper we have had.

After a stay of one month with parents and friends in and near Augusta, Miss Lillie Woodberry has returned to our lit t e village.

Miss Annie Veach has gone on a visit to friends in Atlanta and Florida. Mr. Kinnebrew has entered the Bartow Institute. Invitations were out the first of last week announcing a party for Friday night at the beautiful home of Mi J. V.

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 the latest grapevine dispatch to the amusement and edification of his parish ioners. Grassdale (but six weeks old) 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.
