Sam Small iu the City, and the Pair Make Things Warm For Old Satan's Crew. Special to the Courant-American.} Boston, Mass., Jan, 31. —Your corre spondent can scarcely realize that this is the last day of January, and that I have been here two weeks, the time flics so rapidly. I have promised the readers of the Cocuant-American a few words occasionally, therefore I will make my first words a greeting to the union of the two papers of Cartersville, Ga., the city I so much admire, and the people I love so dearly. “Uncle Max” has not left his first love, the Courant, but since she saw proper to unite her fortunes with an other, I can but wish the two, which are now one, the greatest success, prosperity, and the happiest union two papers Lave eyer experienced. One thing is sure, I admire the choice of the Courant in having selected the American to help enjoy the many blessings that sha 1 surely follow, now that they have concluded to remain in Cartersville, to help push the fortune for others. This they will do beyond doubt, and also to share a great portion that comes from the harvest. I bespeak for you many subscribers, and all the advertisements you can handle, and that before the close of this year yofi may be compelled to enlarge your paper. When I last left Cartersville, I thought surely I would return long before this, but it has kept nn on the jump to keep up with the Rev. Sum Jones and his work. Since writing last to the Courant I have yisited New York, Philadelphia, Balti more and Washington. At the two first named places Rev. Sam Jones lectured, and preached twice in Baltimore, and the people are just as eager to hear him lec ture as they are to listen to his preaching. When I reached Boston I found her dressed in pure white, emblematic of her purity (?) The snow had fallen to the depth of abotlt twelve inches and the tem perature w r as down near the zero point, and you can imi gine how rapidly I hunted quarters, as it was drawing well nigh on toward the midnight hour, and did not look or feel like a Southern climate by any means. The fame of the Rev. Sam Jones had already preceded him and I found the people all excited and anxious to see and bear him. lie 4 * was accompanied from Cincinnati, Ohio, by his chorister and musical director, Mr. M. J. Maxwell, and at Buffalo they were joined by Mr. E. O. Excell, the soloist, and the trio began the bombardment of Boston sin on the Kith of this month. The first shot was fired from “Fort Brodbeck,” the Tremont Street M. E. Church, and a continues firing has been kept up ever since, and the hospitals are now full of the wounded, and daily are they pleading for the Great Physician. Never before has Boston been stirred up and awakened, riligiously, as she now is. To give you some idea of what the Boston people thought of the Georgia preach* \ after his first week’s labor, I Wifi add an editorial coming fiom the G'.obe of the 22rd instant, which says : “Rev. Sam P. Jones has made the best impression on Boston of any revivalist who has visited the city in recent years, lie is a man of brains and originality, and Boston likes men of that stamp.” Georgia, and especially Cartersyille, can well be proud of her Sam Jones. The meeting last night at the Peoples’ M. E. Church, was a perfect jam, not even standing room, and about 3,000 accom modated. Many hundred went away unable to gain admittance, lie took for liis text, “Escape for thy life,” and made one of liis best efforts, held the massive crowd spell bound, for over an hour, and seemed to have the power of the spirit in each word uttered The result was, oyer 300 surrendered then and there to God. Ministers of years in Boston said they never saw such power in a meeting. The Rev. Joseph Cook was present, and he also took in the fire aud prayed and worked in a tone that was unmistakable; he was also heard to say “that the busi ness men of Boston were never so aroused as they are now,and that Boston is surely undergoiug the greatest awakening she has ever had, and he never saw men moved as they were last night.” The Rev. Sam W. Small arrived in the city last week, coming on business con nected with his paper, “The Southern Evange ist.” He at once was urged to so arrange his affairs that he might join hands with the Rev. Sam Jones. He did so, aud is now pushing the battle. His sermon yesterday afternoon to men only, when he was requested to repeat his ex perience from the bondage of sin, was sublime ; aud before he closed nearly the whole audience were m tears. Jones and Small have captured Boston, and you may expect to hear of the greatest revival that has ever visited this city. Four ser vices each day are held this week, as fol lows: Noonday, Faneuil Ilall and Tre mont Temple ; 2:30 and 7:30 p. m. at Peo ples’ M. E. Church. It was my pleasure to meet the Rev. Hugh Johnson, of Toronto, Canada, dur ing the first week. He is the same big hearted, kind and good Canadian as ever, and his laugh is worth a mint of gold. He was accompanied bv his handsome and accomplished wife. Many, like them, have I met in Toronto, and would be glad to meet them all again. Rev. Sam Jones preached in Tremont Temple this noon to a crowded house, and hundreds were turned away for want o room. He was feeling his best and had a full head of steam on, and oh how he did sail into the dancing and card playing Christians, and said : “I am told that there isn’t a lunatic asylum iu America that hasn’t a pack of cards in it for eyery in mate, and sister, if you have got a card table in your home, you are running a private branch of the asylum. God help us Christian people to see that cards have damned people and dancing has despoiled character after character, and I will “touch not, taste not, handle not those things. I never want to see a man standing on the floor with his aim around my wife’s or daughter’s waist cutting a pigeon wing to music, and no gent eman will do towards another man’s wife or daughter a thing he wouldn't like to haye done towards his.” I doubt not, this is the plainest talking a Boston audience ever listened to, and it was received with applause and will result in much good. Many a deck cf caids will he burned, and many a per sou has danced his or her last dance in Boston. So goes the Jones-Small revival work. God bless every reader of the Courant- American. “Uncle Max.” Sight Improved, New York City, April 7, 1884. Mr. A. K.

Alexander Agar, Blank Boo> Manufacturer and Sec’y Stationers’ Board of Trade. 1103 IU INDUSTRIES. QUIT PATRONIZING PENITENTIA RIES AND • SIIVsTEJtS AND “BOOH” THE TOWN WITH HOME ENTERPRISES. A Voyage of Discovery Through the Im mense Manufacturing Establish ment of the R. H. Jones A S us Maim factoring Cos, The first enthusiasm and excitement attending the “boom” which struck Car tersvilie a few weeks ago, has now settled down into an accepted fact and a steady permanent increase in- values and a de* teruiiued intention Jo establish and main tain home enterprises and industries has taken possession of every enterprisiug and pushing citizen in the place, what the actual outcome will'be, how largely Cartersyille will grow, and how many new manufactories will be started, or to sum" it up how largely Cartersville will r vily increase in every way, are matters that time alone can determine, but in passing upon the possibilities of the “Future Great” city, it is wtl to bear in mind the industries that we have among us now, and have had for years. The largest home enterprise of a man ufacturing character here is the R. H. Jones & Sons Mf’g. Cos. This company is composed of Co'. R. H. Jones, L. G. Jones, W. B. Sadler and R. L. Williams. It’lias its branch depositories and facto ries at Rome and Stamp Creek, Gi. This old reliable carriage factory was first es tablished by the president, Col. R. H. Jones in 1853, and has been actively run ning ever since, with the exception of an interval during the war. Col. Jones was met yesterday by a Oou rant-American reporter, and re quested to give his views regarding the “boo’m” and home industries generally. Said be, “I have been here for nearly thirty five years and there seems to be brighter prospects for Cartersville now than I have ever seen here Our own business has been rather dull, as the crops have been comparatively poor, but we are still running full time and force with prospects for a good trade iu the fu ture. If our people really do get united in their Industries and home enterprises and push them forward, this country will blossom and bloom as a rose, and create a “boom.” in trade that will be permanent.” What’s been the matter heretofore? “Just that one thing, the want of unity arid sympathy with each other in busi ness enterprises, the want of this has been a tearful draw-bick hitherto iu this country. If our people would quit pat ronizing penitentiaries and “shysters” and buy their imp emeuts and other pro ducts of the country from legitimate man ufacturers the country would necessarily be more prosperous.” The conversation then turned on the manufacture of buggies, carriages and wagons, and Col. Jones said: “Our increased facilities enable us to turn out work much more rapidly now than we have ever done. We have gone to the forest and got the timber and estab lished our manufactories in this count}’, where we are getting out material (or both our own use and the market. We ship material t >r wagons and buggies all over the country, to different states, be sides what we work up ourselves, we are prepared to furnish this material iu any quantity, as we have hundreds of thou sand feet of prepared lumber, which we are working up by the aid of new and improved machinery. A trip through the R. H. Jones & Sons Manufacturing Cos. establishment, was a veritable yoyage of discovery. In this factory is built vehicles of nearly every description, from a magnificent and luxu rious six passenger platform phaeton to an ordinary wagon, ruaning through the line of equipages manufactured here may be mentioned the splendid extension top phajton, the extension top side bar surry, jump seat surry, with shitting canopy top physicians’ phaeton, ladies’ and pony phaetons, and buggies and wagons of every description. The one and two horse wagons made by this company with stoel axles, have the deserved reputation of being flie best in the country. The patent impioved top to buggies, which admits tne occupant’s ingress and egress without the slightest difficulty, is an innovation in the manufacture of bug* gies which meets with universal approval, buggies will be built with this new fea ture if desired, by the Jones Mf'g. Cos. This house has been in existence and active operation here for a very long time, ami lias kept up with all the im provements in carriage and wagon build ing and uses the very best material in the construction of vehicles that can be had in the market, expert workmen only are emDloyed, and the class of work turned out will compare favorably with the best work of New York, or any ol the eastern or western manulacturies. No house in the United States has a bet ter reputation for good, square honest dealing Jhan this, and the prices at which they offer their product is just as low as good work can possibly be offered. One of the guarantees of this manufactury is that they will make good any failure of their vehicles caused from defective ma terial or workmanship within 12 months after purchase. Their customers for over a quarter of a century corroborate the as sertion that R. 11. Jones A Sons Mf’g Cos. build the best vehicles that can be made of wood and iron. Magnificent testimo nials and indorsements to this effect have gratuitously been given them. Kuliailee Echoes. The much needed bridge at Euharlee is nearly completed. Some think that the county will have to furnish a team to as sist in making the ascent as each entrance is extremely steep. We heard that they were working rapidly at Hardin’s bridge to have it completed by “green time.” Mr. R. H. Dodd has just completed his hay press and is very much pleased with it. He can pack a bale in ten minutes. Mr. M. W. Brinsfield preached a splen did sermon last Sunday at Cap Grove church. His theme was “soberly ” He presented truths not before thought of by some of us. We have a very fine school at Oak Grove Academy. We were fortunate in securing Alfred Calhoun as teacher. He is thoroughly competent, having stood well in his classes at Emory, and a graduate of that grand old college, that has sent forth so many learned men to adorn and enoble society by their pure Christian lives. No country neighbor hood has been more fortunate than ours for the past several years in regard to teachers. Dr. Auld, the scholarly gentle man from Timmonsville, S. C., Mr. Frank Foilansbee. from Va., Mr. McDevitt and lady, from Boston, Mr. R. Saunders, from Mercer University, Mrs. Lula Henderson, so well known about Spartanburg, S. C., all model teachers have ta ight here, and we think Prof. C. will be equal, if not superior, to any of them. He is ably assisted by his sister. Miss Mittie; she gives the little folks a great deal of atten tion, and this has made an impression in the right direction, one that will call for Miss Mittie and Mr. Alfred next year at the same place. Should anyone from a distant like to patronize this school they can get board in the community at a reasonable price. Honorable commission ers, please don’t forget the pond near the academy. Come and see it and we believe you will not hesitate to bridge it. You remember a petition was sent up, and the grand jury recommended the causeway. Willow t Posd. THE FAMILY SKELETON. DK. FORD PLEADS GUILTY TO MAN | SLAUGHTER RATHER THAN HAVE IT EXPOSED TO PUBLIC VIEW, Abrupt Termination of a Famous Shoot ing:. Which Startled the Whole of Louisiana. *> Louisville Courier-Journal.] Nkw Orleans, Feb. 2. —What promis ed to-.be oueof the most sensatioual trials ever kuowu in this city was brought to a suddeu anil unexpected termination by the entry of a plea of guilty of manslaugh ter and its acceptance by the State this morning. On the 2d day last November, Dr. T. W. Ford, one of the most prominent citizens of Shreveport, La., killed J. C. Kirkpatrick, a drag clerk, formerly of the same place. The killing took place at the corner of Caual aiul St. C.iarles streets, in this city, Dr. Ford drawing his revolver and beginuiug to fire as soon as he saw Kirkpatrick. The latter ran and was pursued by his si iver, who lodged fiive bullets in the fleeing man, the last two being fired after Kirkpatrick had fallen to the ground, Kirkpatrick died before he could be raised to a sitting position. After the shooting Dr. Ford retired to a neighboring restaurant aud ordered breakfast. Here he was found by the police, to whom he denied all knowledge of the tragedy. Hundreds of people, however, had witnessed it. and as soon as Dr. Ford was arrested his friends acknowledged that he was guilty of Kirk patrick’s death, but he c'aimed that it was a case of justifiable Homicide, inas much as Kirkpatrick had betrayed Dr. Ford’s w’ife, whose mind had been weak ened by the morphine habit, aud broken up his home, and induced his wife to come to New Orleans, where they were living at the time. Mrs Ford is the daughter of a promi nent banker of Shreveport. She was interviewed immediately after the trage dy, aud deuied that there was any crirui nality in the intercourse between her self and Kirkpatrick. She said she left her home because of ill-treatment, and that she was to marry Kirkpatrick as soon as a divorcee mid be procured. The social position of the parties and the esteem iu which Dr, Ford was held in Shreveport, where all the facts were known, made the tragedv of unusual and wide-spread iuterest. The entire popu lation of North Louisiana espoused the cause of the husband, and citizens from that section of the State have beou arri ving in lage numbers for several days to attend the trial, which was fixed for to day, Dr. Ford having been indicted for murder. Soon after the courtroom wa3 thrown open this morning, it was crowded to its utmost capacity by friends of the prison er and others anxious to hear the sensa tional developments expected to follow the opening of the testimony. They were disappointed, however. As soon as the case was called, Judge Lucen berg. arose and said: “The accused, a gentleman by na ture, education, aud habit, slew the de ceased for interference iu his domestic relations, lie attempts no denial of the fact, but deebues to protect himself by a defense which would expose to public censure the mother of his children. Therefore, through kis couusel, he now asks leave of the court to withdraw his plea of ‘not guilty,’ heretofore made, and plead ‘GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.’ ” As soon as the flutter of surprise caused by this declaration could be quieted, Attorney Adams ad dressed the court, aud stated that he had beeu aware for some time that the accused would plead guilty of man slaughter, aud he had made up his miud to accept it. He considered the crime a murder, but public seutiment opposed this view, aud he thought that if the case came to trial it would result iu noth ing more than a conviction of man slaughter. He therefore accepted the plea. Dr. Ford was then remanded for sen tence, aud the courtroom was quickly emptied of the disappointed crowd of sensation seekers. The sentence will necessarily be from five to twenty years iu the penitentiary, but it is fairly doubtful if Dr. Ford wil ever reach the walls of the iustitutiou. He has thousands of friends, aud his ac tion iu pleading guilty to manslaughter rather than to expose his family skele ton has made him thousands more, aud a strong appeal will be made at ouce t secure his pardon. The nature of the case and powerful influence that will be exerted upon the Board of Pardons can scarcely fail to secure from that body a recommendation to the Governor for a full pardon, which must follow, as such action of the board will leave the Gov ernor without discretion iu the matter.

Legislation should be effected in every State regulating the sale and use of the many poisons resorted to by women in their desperation to obtain beautiful com plexions, while there exists in Dr. Har ter’s Iron tonic every requisite necessary to accomplish the object without injuring the health or endangering life. It is related that a woman, of Logan sport thought that she saw bear tracks in the snow under her hired girl’s window", and not wishing to alarm the family, set a big steel trap there without saying any thing to anyone. She had hardly retired for the night when she was startled by a series of vigorous yells, and investigation found her husband hopping around on one teg with the bear trap hanging to the other. The First Keen Twinge. As the season advances, the pains and aches by which rheumatism makes itself known, are experienced after every ex gosure. It is not claimed that Hood’s arsaparilla is a specific for iheumatism we doubt if there is, or can be, such a remedy. But the thousands benefited by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, warrant us in urging others who suffer from rheumatism to take it before the first keen twinge. ONK TOUCH OF NATURE. A Veter mu Soltiier ray* an Old IleM of Gratitude. WASjarmoroN, Jau. 30.—Sometimes iu this life kiud acts are doue which the doer never lives to see rewarded, bnt which after many year bears fruit that blesses posterity. An accident of this kiud, that is interesting for its pathos and beauty, as well tvs for the high con nections of the parties concerned, has lately been related to the Courier-Journal conespondent. A young lady, was a second cousin to Gen. Robert E. Lee, holds a position iu Washington in one of the departments. She is of a delicate organization and fragile frame, and with exposure to the rigors of the wiuter and the “cooping up” in the superheated atmosphere of the office, the youug lady succumbed to pulmonary diseases. There are kind people iu Washington who will tenderly care for “the stringer that is withiu their gates,” bnt when death has laid its withering hand upon us, “be it ever so bumble, there’s no place like homo.” It is when the angel of death overshadows us, and thoughts turn to the inscrutible eternity, that we most appreciate the fraternal soothing. It is theu a mother’s or sister's care is sweet est and m >st c msoiing. While the young lady thus lay in her feeble con dition, ruefully contemplating the pa thetic f ite that left her alone in tire world, there came a messenger of grati tude and loVe to her sick couch. It was au offering in memory of kindness doue long ago by the young lady s father to a scluKiimate. It c une and took the sick one to a home, when all is comfort and plenty, and where the daughter of a re tired army officer kindly waited on her, ministering to every want. Many years ago this retired army officer was put upon and roughly used by larger and stouter boys. The father of the youug lady came to his assistance, and was ever afterward his protector and benefactor. The boys grew to manhood, Separation followed; long and many yea’s interven ed. In the sad national tragedy which convulsed the country from 1801 to 1865, one of the boys drifted into the Confed erate service, the other uecamo a Fed eral officer. Tne young lady’s father was summoned by “the last tattoo,” and when the news came to the stern old veteran that his protector’s daughter lay sick among strangers, a grateful heart ueyer rested until the orphan child was beneath his roof. This incident sliiues with greater lustre since it is iu such m iked contrast with the se'ti.di ness, deceit, and ingratitude that are so common iu a great capital where the world is pushing and jamming for place. To turn from such scenes to contemplate the working of a grateful heart; to wit ness the act of integrity after many, many years, is, indeed, a relief and a sunny spot iu this life which we are at times disposed to account wholly de praved. The Kansas City Times offers this gum drop to the dear things: “To the ladies who are wont to shower their favors upon murderers and low grade criminals we commend our promising young brother, Reporter Morris, of Baltimore, now iu prison for contempt of court. Please omit flowers and substitute cigars.” Tlie New Year Commenced With lai€;k. They had invented in the2ooth Monthly Grand Distribution of Toe L misiana State Lotterry, which took place on Tues day (always Tuesday), January 11th, 1887, under the sole supervision of Gen’lf. G.
