considerable capital to our county.

er, a number of Cartersville young men.

selves as more than pleased with the
splendid treatment which they received
at the hands of Kingston’s hospitable
people. The festival was a success in
spite of the rain, the receipts amounting
to about ninety dollars. But for the rain
many more of our citizens would have
gone up.

• Home for Awhile, an<l i Caught—
A Man Whose Arrest Calls
for $3,000
About ten days ago J. L. Long, of Bir
mingham, came to Cartersville ostensibly
looking after mineral. He came in the
guise of a miner, and not until a few days
ago was his real mission known. It then
developed that he was a detective on the
track of a negro by the name of Andrew
Oakes, who is perhaps one of the most
desperate criminals in the south. He is
the principal #f a number of heinous
crimes, and five human lives have lallen
victims to his murderous hands. Mr.
Long has chased him over the states of
Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia,
Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia, often
losing sight of him entire’y, but never
giving up the pursuit.
The crime that led to the capture was
committed in or near Birmingham, Ala
Oakes had been working on the Kansas
City rai road. On last Christmas day,
Andrew Oakes, with a crowd of other
negroes, assembled at a grocery and after
filling themselves with whiskey, entered
a gamb ing game. After playing for
some time a dispute arose, and the gang
got into a general row, pistols were
drawn, and Oakes soon stietched one
upon the ground dead with a ball through
his head. Oakes, Ed. Moore, Jim Troup
and George Toole, the other negroes en
gaged in the shooting left the place and
started away. They had only gone a
short distance when they met Mr. Pope
Wooten, a young white man, who for
merly lived at Stone Mountain, Ga , who,
hearing the firing, started down in that
direction with his gistol in his hand.
He met these negroes in a narrow path,
Oakes jerked the pistol from his hand and
fired at him, the ball piercing through his
body and killing him instantly. They
then robbed young Wooten and made
their escape. George Toole and Jim
Troup were soon caught and lodged in
jail; Ed. Moore or “Jack the Rabbit,” as
lie is known, was captured about two
weeks ago in Birmingham; on his person
was found a letter from Andrew Oakes,
written from Cartersville. Mr. Long, the
detective, who is a cousin of the young
man Wooten, and who arrested “Jack the
Babbit,” came immediately to Carters
ville. It seems that Oakes came here
about the first of January, and had spent
most of his time, up to about .two weeks
ago, with a negro who lives at the transfer
yard ot the E. & W. R. R., by the name
of Alleu Orr. He spent his time in look
ing around, occasionally making an effort
to get work at some ore banke. Two
weeks ago he took his leave. After Mr.
Long had been here a few days he made
known his real mission to Will Puckett,
who is an amateur detective of much
shrewdness. They both kept their coun
sel until they hit upon a few things that
they thought would give some clue as to
Oake’s whereabouts. After learning that
Oakes spent his time with the negro
Allen Orr, they felt confident lie could
give them the desired information. A
few nights they went to his house to try
if possible to make some discovery; they
found him out, but waited around the
house for a few hours when he was seen
to come in, with what seemed to be a lot
of writing material. Mr. Puckett at once
grabbed him and enquired to whom he
was going to write, “To my father John
Owens,” who lives near Griffin, was his
answer. They were not so fresh in the
business as to be deceived by that kmd of
stubble. They then told him that he had
received a letter from Andrew Oakes, and
that he must produce it, or they would
arrest himself and wife. He admitted
that he had received one a few days before
that, but said that he did not know 7 where
it was, but that they might search his
house for it. Mr. Long began to make
the search, while Mr. Puckett kept his
eye3 upon Orr, watching his motions.
Orr took a seat and seemed to be very
much absorbed in w'atching Mr. Long in
his search. But slightly he put his hand
in his bosom as if reaching for something.
Without a moments warning Puckett
pounced upon him and demanded that
he hand the letter right out. “Which
letter does you mean boss ?" “I ain’t got
no letter; you may search my coat if you
wants to.” Instead of searching the coat
Puckett slipped his fingers into the
negro’s vest pocket, and drew forth the
much desired document. It read as fol
lows :
“Vineyard, P. 0., Ga., Feb, 13, ’B7.
“Dear Sir:—l am well at this time.
* * * You have been a friend to
Me and i look to you to Befren me yeat
and if you heare anything that you think
will du Me any harm Please wright to
Vineyard P. O. Ga. to Me at once and
when you Kite dount Kite so plain. Just
say to me, be on a look out, understand
Me now, if there is any trouble let me
know at once, if not allso tell Me. I gott
to this place last Friday nite a week ago
and is on a grade of Kailroad getting a
dollar or day and i will get Pade off on
the 26. i will have to work 26 days before
I geet any money, and when I geet sum
money will send you sum. * * *
Give all my respecs to your wife and an
swer this soon. Mr Allen Orer, i yours
truly friend Anderson Oaks.
Mr Allen Orer, Cartersvile Ga.
This secured, Puckett and Long arrang
ed to leave on the 12:30 train for Griffin,
accompanied by Jim Young, colored, who
is no slouch when it comes to detective
work, and who had already given them
valuable aid. Jim knew Oakes personally
and could be relied upon to spot him.
The Griffin News gives the following ac
count of his capture:
“Yesterday morning as the cannon ball
train from Atlanta arrived in the city,
two white tuen, in the disguise of com
mon laborers, got off, accompanied by a
negro man, and in a tew moments the
trio were on their way to Lipscomb’s
contract of the Georgia Midland.
They represented themselves to be
stone masou3 who were on the lookout
for work, which they had had trouble in
securing on account of the rains. While
growling about the hard luck they had
been having, W. E. Puckett, of Carters
ville, and T. L. Long, of Birmingham, for
t such were the disguised masons, were
keeping their eyes open looking for An
derson Oakes.
On arriving at the Georgia Midland
camps, at V ineyard, they began to use
their eyes to the best advantage, and as
soon as the party whom they were after
was discovered LoDg whispered to the
negro, Jim Young, “there he is grab
him.” Young at once grabbed, and plac
ing his pistol to.Oakes’ ear, and said tohim
very quietly: “Make a move and I will
blow this ear clear out through the other
side of your head,” and at almost the
same time Mr. Puckett stepped up to the
other side and presented his pistol. He
was then hand cuffed and brought to this
city by half past seven o'clock, just about
four hours after the train bringing his
; captors arrived in the city. lie was kept
in confinement here until the 11:25 pas
senger, going to Atlanta arrived, when he
i was placed on board and carried on his
way to Birmingham. While in the city
he confessed to a murder in Salisbury, N.
' C., one at High Bridge, Ky., and one at
j Inman, Tenn., but in connection with the
Birmingham fmurder seemed very reti
cent, but said that if he killed two men
there lie didn’t remember it as he was
drunk at the time, but remembered to
have shot at some one, though didn’t
know if be hit them or not.
lhe prisoner is of medium height,
slender built, a light ginger cake color
with a closely cropped black moustache,
and is, lie thinks, about twenty five years
of age. He has a very tough look about
him, and seems to care very little about
his capture, bearing glances and remarks
of the crowd with perfect composure.
Quite a crowd of darkeys collected on the
street, and around where he was con
fined, and at one time it was rumored that
it was possible that there would be an
attempted rescue; bnt Messrs. Long and
Puckett, together with Jim Young, kept a
strict guard over him, ..nd did not seem
to fear such an attempt in the least.”
There is much feeling in Walker Coun
ty Ala., where the last murders were
committed, and it is thought that the ne
groc’s there will make an effort to lynch
Oakes.
GADSDEN’S GROWTH,
The Town AfForiLi a Few Pointers That
Should he Grasped ly Cartersvile.
Corresponde.'.e.j Courant- American )
The little embryo city is still booming
and a few capitalists have demonstrated
their faith in her future by investing a
few of their spare thousands in real estate.
The Haralson Brothers of Atlanta, invest
ed twentyreight thousand in choice lots.
Mr. Mullins, of Cincinnati, buys the
Phoenix Hotel, and some other fancy prop
erty and other sales oflike character were
chronicled. On Wednesday last, I am
reliably informed, reached one hundred
thousand dollars. As night, with her sa
ble curtains overshadowed the town eager
groups of citizens crowded the hotels to
discuss the wonderful sale3 of the day,
and every lot holder, in the flaring glare
of the boom, held aa Aladdin’s lamp, and
felt, at least in imagination, that they
were fabulously rich. Property has gone
up from one to two hundred per cent, and
in one or two instances five hundred per
cent. An old wooden structured hotel
near the Attalla railroad w r as sold for five
thousand dollars, three days afterwards
sold for sixty-five hundred, and is now
held ?t fifteen thousand with some pros
pect of their getting it. The Woodliff
property of fifity acres offered one year
ago at six thousand was readily sold at
fifteen thousand dollars and is now sur
veyed off into streets and lots and at the
prices ask, will bring fifty to sixty thous
and dollars, A few lots on the mountain
sides near the town standing at an angle
of sixty degrees and composed of nothing
but rugged rock cliffs brought two hun
dred dollars each. We dilligently inquir
ed how it was that Gadsden, whose beau
ties and advantages had so long lain dor
mant, should so suddenly spring into im
portance and attract the attention of the
world ?
We believe we found out the secret.
We were told and doubt not that it is re
liable, that when the Gadsden Land and
Improvement Company was organized
they determined to spend money with the
leading newspapers of the South and
West to bring into notice their little town
and its superior advantages. Acting up
on this resolution they called upon the
Atlanta Constitution for Henry Grady.
Mr. Charles T. Logan was sent in his
place, and wrote the first article for which
it is said he received one thousand dollars.
Then the Chattanooga Times threw two
or three bombs. Then the Cincinnati
Enquirer came out with a map with a
half dozen paper railroads on it, all point
ing to Gadsden and the boom became an
accomplished fact. And the result of it
is the Gadsdenites are realizing a hand
some profit to-day on thsir judicious in
vestment in printer's ink.
Please let me stop right here and rumi
nate awhile and make a slight digression
from my text. Bartow eounty, Georgia,
is a far superior county to Etowah county,
Alabama. Her farming lands are supe
rior, she has as much iron ore, she has
beds of manganese that they don’t have,
she Ins many natural adyantage3 they
can never acquire. Yet the one is the ob
served of all observers, while our finer in
terests and advantages languish. Why is
it? Is it for the want of public spirit?
Is it penuriousness? My fellow country
men; there is something wrong. Nature
has been lavish and profuse in her gifts to
us beyond calculation, yet we. languish.
Oh. for one public spirited man to lead the
yan. Who is willing to give time, ener
gy and money as does R. B. Kyle oi this
place* Then the South would hear of a
boom sure enough and the day would
come when Bartow county would be the
banner county of the state.
Gadsden has got auch au impetus now
we believe that her course will be onward
and upward, and that at a day not far in
the future she will be a city of no mean
importance.
Mr. John C. Printup is in town to aid
the boom by putting hands on the Gads
den end of the Rome and Decatur railload
and the new furnace company have loca
ted their plant and to-day are breaking
dirt for the foundations of their huge fur
nace, Scribbler.
Rev. W. H. Cooper will be at Dalton
Sunday morning next aiding iu the or
dination of their new pastor, so that
there will be no morning service at his
church except the Sunday school. Iu
the afteruoou at 3 o’elook Rev. Sam.
Jones will talk to the young people at
the children’s meetiug at the Baptist,
church. At uiglit there will be preach
ing by the pastor.
IN ME MORI AM.
Vicksburg, Miss., Feb 16, ’B7.
We learn from the Courant American
this morning of the death a few days since
of Mrs. Fannie E. Jones, of Cartersville,
Georgia.
The writer of this knew the wife that
has been taken from the side of a devoted
husband. It has only been a few short
months since he enjoyed the hospitalities
of her home. It is difficult to frame in
words what the heart of friendship feels
in the face of such a calamity. Words of
sympathy are unavailing in such a ca e,
and yet we feel they are not without ef
fect. No happier home than that of Mr
Jones can be found anywhere. As the
head of it, his heart was as broad and
open as the universe. His wife crowned
by nature with the purest and sweetest
graces of womanhood, reigned supreme,
going to him and to the dear ones around
their heart, a daily feast of cheerfulness
and comfort. Over all these presided that
charity that believest all things, hopest
all things, and of which she was the great
example. Few who did not know her
would judge by her quiet ways of the
firm but beautiful force of character which
worked so silently at home
She was a jewel in her husband’s home,
she is now a jewel in that crown of Christ
at whose feet she has long before conse
crated her life To the husband and little
ones thus bereft, and stunned by grief
there it but one source of consolation, and
that is the fountain of Christ s love from
which the dear dead wife drew her own
inspiration, and imparted it to every
member-of her household.
Thank God for this mothers love,
( herish the priceless gift,
For the bitter, parting hour,
Comest all too soon.
When her precious memory has lost it3
power to wave,
Earth will hold no dearer spot thau
their mothers grave.
W. P. Phillips.

Kingston Doings.
The great topic of persons passing
Kingston is the different routes the ex
tension of the Rome and Denature road
will take from Rome to Gainesville. The
people of Adairsville say it will be com
pelled to go by that place, cost much
less, etc. Halls say they are on the di
rect line. Cartersville seems to think it
could not be built unless it passed by that
thriving young city. The paap’e of King
ston have said but little, knowing that
they are on the direct air line and feel sat
isfied the company will locate on the
most direct and practical route. Our
citizens would be glad for it to come this
way. and I feel sure they would be very
liberal in granting right of way. One
citizen says he will give them ten acres of
land near the W. & A. depot for the use
of buildings, etc. We have said but little
from the fact we are looking for it to come
through Kingston and we thought it
easier to rejoice over a certainty than to
mourn over a disappointment. So look
out for the engine when you hear the
whistle blow at Kingston.
Our farmers are very busy preparing
the soil fir the next crop.
Joseph Broadwater killed three wild
turkeys at one shot Saturday morning on
J. S. Moore’s place. He has klilled twelve

respondent bought a large gobler from
him Saturday, weighing 20 pounds and
very fat.
A few days since Mrs. Dr. Mayson was
called to Greensboro, Ga., to attend the
funeral of her father, Mr. Jackson.
The young ladies of Kingston were very
busy Saturday decorating the hall for the
supper.
I hear some complaint from tax payers
of Kingston about the bad condition of the
sidewalks. We trust our city fathers will
stop the complaint. Jackie.

An enthusiastic railroad delegation
consisting of Gid Boyd, Col. Bibb, and
others, led by our former citizen, Mr. J.
T. Adington, came over from Adairsville
last week. They bring thrilling news
right from headquarters. If we can do
nothing, I guess we cau do as well as
Johny did when his daddy fought the
bear, stand off and say hurrah for our
side. But the raihoad is coming, or
people would not be saying so every day
neither would our friend have been put
to so much trouble through his dreams.
It all means that the road is coming.

AFTER EDGAR A. POE.
Oaoeu(>on a midnight dreary, while 1 languished,
weak and weary,
W th a cough tha’. 'till returning, lungs and
stomach rendered sore.
While I groaned. Dor thought of napping, sud
denly there came a tapping.
As of acme one geatly rapping, rapping at my
ch ml>er d-or.
" Tis some viitor,’ I muttered, “tapping at my
ch mber door:
Only this and nothing mo e.”
Starling from my chair I hastens 1, and the bolt*
and bars unfastered.
While my brow looked black and frowning, to be
called at such an hour.
And a muttered cut so was forming on my lips
because it was storming.
But I straightway checked my temper, and I
opened wide my door,*
When smiling Will Toting entered, whom the
girls all call their beau.
“3b, l heard you coughing, coughing.” said the
young man, laughing.

Dr. J. S. CoMiis,Owensville,Ohio, says:
“I have given Scott’s Emulsion of
Cod Liver Oil with Ilypophospbites to
four patients with better results than
seemed possible with any remedy. All
were hereditary cases of Lung disease,
and advanced to the stage when Coughs,
pain in the chest, frequent breathing, fre
quent pulse, lever and Emaciation. All
the cases have increased in weight from
16 to 28 lbs., and are not now needing any
medicine. I prescribe no other Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil with Ilypophospbites,
Line and Soda, but Scott’s, believing it to
be the best.” feb 3-lm.
Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who has
Boschee’s German Syrup to let its won
derful qualities be known to their friends
in curing Consumption, severe Coughs,
Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact
a'l throat and lung diseases. No person
can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of ali Diuggists to
recommend it to the poor, dying con
sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 80,-
000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and
no one case where it failed was reported.
Such a medicine as the German Syrup
cannot be too widely known. Ask your
druggist about it. Sample bottles to try,
sold at 10 cents. Regular size, 75 cents.
