An unusually spicy meeting is expected. Ladies invited. Quite a pleasnnt sociable was given at the beautiful country home of Dr. Ben hmn, on last Monday evening. A number of couples went out from town. All the members and friends of the \. M. C.

Moses Scheuer will soon start for the markets, and when he returns bis brother Julius will leave for several months so journ in the “old country,” ylsiting “old folks at home." “In ninety days I’ll venture there will be five thousand men r.t work between Erwin’s old blooniary and the Etowah mining camps.” Such was the remark of an enthusiastic miner yesterday. This gentleman is certainly on the inside and talked like he meant what he said. It is hoped that his prophesy may come true. Attention is called to the real estate card of Messrs. George Aubrey and Col. Hobt. W. Murphey. These gentlemen are fully conversant with all the details of their business, ami property placed in their hands to sell will get the very Best attention and the best benefits derived. They are energetic and are not slow in driving trades. Colonel George 11. Waring, of Bartow county, is visiting Mr. P. J.

Our city fathers have got their “dander” lip in regard to loafers and vagrants and inquiries will be made for the best iron dad vagrant law which they will adopt and have executed to the very fullest measure. V agraney seems to be on the increase and they are exactly right in calling a halt. Too many parties are allowed to loaf around and get in the way of those inclined to work. The London Theatre Company will be hero on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. It is one of the best companies that ever traveled through the South, so says the Mississippi papers whereever they appeared. They have a brass band of ladies and gents, and an orchestra of 150 silver Swiss bells and many other musical features. Those who admire good music should go and hear the su perb orchestra attached to this company. Mr. diaries T. Jouos, lately of Stamp creek, is imbued with our boom, and lias moved into town. He has bought out tho nourishing business of Robt. M. Pattlillo, corner Main and Erwin streets, where lie will bo glad to see his mauy friends.

The monthly examinations and exer cises at the West Eud Institute, on last Friday, were attended by quite a num ber of the patrons. The examinations showed that.the pupils had been care fully trained. The proliency in their studies evidenced careful nud pains-tak ing efforts upon the part of the teachers iu this most splendid institution. These exercises will repeated monthly, and will be open to patrons of the bdiool and the public generally. Night-watchman Ford had a livlily ex perience with a negro tramp the other night, who he caught prowling around, seemingly With no purpose in view.

A few days ago the Dide Coal company liought of Judge Jas. li. Brown, of Can ton,' and J. D. Thomas, of Bartow county, about 0,000 acres of what is claimed to be as fine iron and manganese property as there is anywhere lying in Cherokee and B irtow counties, on Stamp Creek, They paid for the same something over $13,000. This property v/as once ftwned and ope rated upon by Dr. John W. Lewis, of Canton, and at one time had as many as three or more furnaces upon it and pay ing well. Bov. Sam Jones preached at the Meth odist church last Sunday and eveuiug, and talked hi the children and young folks at the Baptist church in the after noon. At each service the chuich was tilled. The simple announcement that Sim Jones will preach is sufficient to assure a crowded house. After the uioruiug services at the Methodist church, Mr Jones at the request of the pastor took up a collection for foreign aud domestic missions. He announced that the amount assessed by conference against the church at this place for mis sions, was S2OO. The collection netted the handsome sum of SIGS; lacking only thirty-five dollars of the desired amount. This amount, the pastor feels confident Of raising from meubers of that church who were not then present. One good Cow for sale, cheap. Apply to J. L. Neel. It Notice.

In point of mineral wealth, such as iron, manganese etc,, it is now generally conceded that Bartow takes the lead of all the counties of the South. But, little did her people dream that within her bor ders would be found the richest gold mine ever discovered in the State, and rivaling many of the rich veins of California. This most valuable and desirable mining property is owned by Col. Thoa. Hunton, of New Orleans, and Mr. O. P. Mcßoberts, of Kentucky. It was through the courtesy of the latter gentleman that a representa tive of the Courant-Amehican had the pleasure of paying a visit to these mines. The mine is located on lots 1097 and 1098; in the 20th District and 2d Section of Bar tow county, comprising 80 acres. It is in easy access, being on'y three miles from Ac worth, which is the nearest shipping station on the line of the W. & A. R. R., forty miles from Atlanta, and about twelve miles from Cartersville. In company with a congenial compan ion we left Cartersville about eleven o’clock last Tuesday morning, and reached the mines by two o’clock that afternoon We were kindly received by Mr. Mc- Roberts, who. after extending to us the hospitalities of the camp, began to pilot us through the mines. Having beard much of the richness of the recent finds at this mine, we were prepared to see something like an average Lumpkin county mine, hut nothing so immense or extensive as Mr. Mcßoberts developed to our gaze. Upon one hill, within a radius of three hundred yards, which had been fully ex posed and thoroughly well tested, as many as five ditferent veins, averaging from six’ to ten inches width. Already considerab'e ore has been taken from the various veins in making the tests ; and it only takes an inexperienced man and casual observer to see that it is unusually pregnated with the precious metal. The owners of the mine have not as yet made much headway towards mining proper. Their efForts have been principally to de velope the veins, and show their extent, true character alid richness. They have believed all along that they possessed one of the most valuable mining properties in the country ; but before making any to-do over it, they wanted to satisfy themselves beyond any doubt of its extent. This they have done without scarcely letting the outside world know what they were up to. Now that they have made dis coveries far beyond their most sanguine expectations, are ready to put the mine in full operation. Mr. Mcßoberts estimates that one five stamp battery, together with an engine of sufficient horse-power to run it and do all the pumping necessary about the mines, can be purchased for the sum of SI2OO. This battery, with the work of two men to mine the ores,(using their average grade ores) will yield from S2OO to S3OO per day. Perhaps inno gold region of the country can so small an outlay for machinery be made to returnsuch a handsome profit. The country around the mine is rolling and somewhat hilly. None of the hills, however, are over a thousand feet high, and generally are much lower. They run in long parallel swells separated by cor responding hollows. These swells pre sent a Jvery marked appearance which could not fail to attract the attention of even a careless observer, one being of light color, aud the one adjoining of a red. A close examination reveals the fact that one comes from the decomposition of highly ferrugious rocks ; while the other is quite destitute of any traits of iron. The mine iu question is located in the summit of one of these red hills. The hill in question is intersected by numerous quartz veins, some of which carry sul phides ot iron, lead, etc., others carry na tive gold. The vein which has been most devel oped is quartz, and carries besides much visible free gold. A considerable limonite pyrite, and a peculiar hydrocarbon. Both the pyrite and limonite are highly auriferous as well as the quartz. The ap fearanceof the quartz is very promising, nstead of the massive variety, which is so frequent, this, on the contrary, has a decidedly seamed appearance. These seams are much discolored, and in these seams occur the gold in small irregular shaped crevices In the many pieces broken not one failed to reyeal a native hit of gold. The bulk of the vein matter is made up of quartz of this nature and will yield a constant per cent of gold. The width of this vein, as innieated by the ore which was recovered in bulk from the shaft, which is now about 50 feet, were from five to eight inches from wall to wall,and has increased very considerably in width below 27 feet. These ores are very rich Eight assays were made by Prof. Wm, Mason, of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, of Troy, N. Y., of rocks picked from the dump of the shaft. The result of these assays were as follows: 1. Rock esntaining much pyrite, yielded per ton, of gold 20(5 oz. 2. YYall rock.or vein shaft, taken from contact with country rock, yielded of gold, per ton, 40 oz. 3. Rock containing numerous small ca vities filled with peculiar hydro carbon, gold, perjton, 3.9 oz. 4. Pink quartz, massive but with a shivered or ribbon structure, gold, per ton, 3 oz. 5. Vein shaft, large amount of limonite, gold, per ton, 1.2 oz. 6. Clear quartz, ribbon structure, no free gold visible, gold per ton, 5.5 oz. 6 vein stuff containing considerable felspar, gold per ton, 2.1 oz. 8- Seamed quartz showing much free gold, yielding per ton, 9.6 oz. From this it will be seen that the aver age of pold per ton is very large. It is a well known fact among miners that few if any auriferours veins are fond, except those intersecting Arch oean formations. These consist princi pally of gneisses, granites, mica, and chlorite, Schists and Slates. The mine is question is in accordance with this gen eralization, well located, intersecting as it does a chlorite schist. This schist is sc far decomposed that it may easily be re in oved with a pick and shovel. In fact alt the ore thus far removed has been done without the aid of powder. Among the many advantages of this mine is its easy access to one of the largest cities in the South, aud within a short distance of the railroad, thus insuring quick and easy transport of shipment. The country is also supplied with an abundance of the best mining timbers; and the cost ol driving shafts and tun nels through hard solid rock is here en tirely obviated by means of the much de composed country rock. Nothing need be used but pick and shovel. Again we wish to 3ay that Bartow county can bo<*st of the richest go and mines in the State; and one that will some day make its owners immensely wealthy. We have just received a fine line of samples of Cheviots, Cassimers, Worsteds and Corkscrews and are now prepared to take orders for custom made suits at very low prices and tjuick' delivery.

MINING FOB MANGANESE. INNUMERABLE BEDS OF THE PRE CIOUS STUFF FOUND RECENTLY'. The Pine Log People Turn Out iu Puree With Pick and Shovel and Sam ple Their Dirt. Since the demand for minerel property in this section commenced, and the healthy prices paid for such, much prospecting has been done by our peo ple, and the most ftvorable results have followed their efforts. Of course it goes without saying that our county has as much if not more mineral property with in her borders than any county in the State. But recent developments show that the astounding stories of our wealth have been overdrawn. Ever* day the announcement is made that somebody has made a lucky find. Several beds have been opened and many show ten and fifteen foot leads, and some as high as twenty feet. Just now Pine Log district in this county is considerably stirred up over some very fine discoveries. Instead of going to the field these fine spring morn ings the average Possom Trotter can be seen with Dick and shovel sampling the dirt on his lands, testing the large boul ders of minerals that cover the ground on every baud. The other day while Mr. W. J. Collins, the superintendent of the poor farm, was digging in a small place where signs ot manganese had been seen, ran across a rich vein, some fifteen feet thick. The ore is of the richest quality and beir.g only three miles from the rail road will be easily put on the market at a good price. The lot belongs to Messrs. Aaron and W. J. Collins and James Stephens, of this place. The gentlemen have certainly a fine prospect, and in a very few m >nths will derive some healthy benefits from their find. Bartow county, besides being in a good healthy condition financially finds herself the possessor of fine min eral lands. The old poor farm, that was thought to be worthless, and which the county commissioners have at various times offered for sale at the very lowest figures, with no takers, has developed in to a little fortune in the shape of a man ganese mine. The county commissioners have wisely taken the farm off the market and wi 1 soon put a gang of workmen to opening up the mines, when it will then be sold. The county may be safely counted as being on a boom. We hear of several banks that have been opened but space forbids mentioning all of them ON TO GAINESVILLE. AN IMPORTANT PAPER ON FILE IN THE CLERKS OFFICE. The East& West to bo Extended to Illr mingham and Gainesville. Cartersville’a boom rose several points yesterday, aud was largely owing to the fact that Clerk Durham, had received to be placeed upon record, a mortgage for $500,000, executed by the East & West R. R., of Alabama, to the American Loan aud Trust Company, of New York. The mortgage is upon the entire prop erty of the E & W. R, R. Cos., and will be held by the American Loan aud Trust Cos., as a basis of security for debenture bonds to be issued by said railroad com pany to the amount of the mortgage, ($500,000.) It is generally understood that these bonds will be sold for the pur pose of realizing money, with which to complete the extension of the East & West from Broken Arrow to Birming ham, and from Cartersville to Gaines ville. With these two links complete the line will be about two hundred and thirty miles in length, aud traverse one of the richest agricultural and mineral sections in the south; aud will be one of the most profitable railroad properties iu the county. The link from Carters ville to Gainesville? the late Gen. Mc- Rae, declared it to be the best unoccupi ed territory for a railroad in the South. The wonder is that the E. &W. R. R. has not arranged to build their exteu tion before now. The completion must necessarily make their line a paying one. The people of Cartersville are delight ed at the present shape of things, and feel that they have evidence that pract ically assure the building of the Gaines ville branch at an early day. THE CITY COUNCIL. Regular Monthly Meeting Street Tax Will he Two Dollars For 1887. Council met in chamber Tuesday night, Mayor Wdrie presiding, Aldermen Griffin, J. C. Wofford, J. A. Crawford, A. J. Col lins and John C. Hilburn present. Minutes of last meeting read and adopted. A petition was sent up by the draymen of the town for the changing of an ordi nance relating to their business. They want people who change residences com pelled to employ the drays to do the hauling instead of calling in outside teamsters, who they claim, do the work too cheap. A committee was appointed last meeting to pass upon the matter and that committee through its chairman, Mr. Griffin, reported adversely to the wishes of the draymen. The report was unani mously adopted by the body. Marshal Wilkersou reported the follow ing sums collected: School House $lO 00 Weighing on Scales 90 Drnmme’s Tax 6 00 Fines 5 00 Total ....$2190 Accounts to the amount of $247.97 were allowed and ordered paid. It was unanimously ordered by the city that the street tax for 1887 be placed at two dollars per capita, and books be opened for the collection of the same the fourth of next month, and remain open until the fourth of May. The Committee on Ordinances, Messrs. Griffin, Wofford and Crawford were or dered to revise the present city or dinances, compile them and haye them printed. The city now possesses only one copy of the ordinances and it is in the last stage of destruction. A few are thought to exist, however, and are be ing held by citizens. Enough of the new ordinances will probably be printed to place one in eyery citizen's hands. A motion was made, and carried, to the effect that any member of the council who remains away from the called and regular meetings ot the body, unless he can make a plausible excuse, will be subject to a fine of two dollars lor each absence. We have just received a line line of samples of Cheviots, Cassimers, Worsteds, Corkscrews and are now prepared to take orders for custom made suits at very low prices and quick delivery.

' feb 10-tf GALLOWAY & UREN. THE COLLEGE CONTRACT. _ MESSRS. X. S. EAVES AND W R. WAL LACE DECLARED THE SUC CESSFUL BIDDERS. The Sam Jones Female College a Dead Moral Certainty. For several weeks those iu charge of the building of the Sam Jones Female College have been advertising for bids for the erection of the same. Last Thursday was the day set for opening of tho bids, and at 12 o’clock on that day they were opened and it was found that Messrs. N. S. Eaves and W. B. Wallace were the lowest Didders and consequent ly the work was awarded them. Yesterday the old board of officers wero re-elected save the secretary, Will Sadler being elected vice, F. J. Taylor resigned. The building of the college will be commenced at once and pushed for ward to completion as rapidly as pessiblo. The contractors are both residents of this place. The demand that is now created for labor will amount to some thing aud our merchants will derive some benefit. Mr. Eaves is one of the best and most scrupulously correct con tractors in the State, aud his mahy friends in this section are glad that he will be at home for a while at least. ON THE PROPERTY. Civil Engineer* Locating Building Sites at “Etowah.” Monday morning a corps of mining engineers arrived from Atlanta for the purpose of going upon the Etowah prop erty, near town, and locating sites upon which to erect blast furnaces, mills, etc. They were accompanied by Col. Thoa. P. Stovall, of Atlanta, aud Mr. R. M. Pattillo, of this place. The work of in specting c anmeuced at once aud will continue until this afternoon, four days being required to do the work. The chief of the corps Is Mr. G. W. West,of Biimiugham, Ala., an English mining expert, who has been long interested with Mr. Deßurdeleben, of that city, in opening up the mineral wealth of that section. He is said to be one of the fiuest in the couutry. and of course his report of the property will be looked forward to with deep interest by the Etowah Company as well as our whole people. Besides locating sites these gentlemen are testing in various pluces and locating the richest beds afore aud where it abounds in the most quantities blast furnaces will be erected conve niently near. What opinion, the gentlemen have formed of their work, they have zeal ously kept to themselves and no amount of inquiry cannot be brought to divulge what they have found out iu their investigations. Mr. West will make his report in a few days and it goes without saying that it will lie a most favorable one. FUN FOR OUR FOLKS. The London Theatre Company to he Here Three Nights. The London Theatre Company is billed for our Opera House for to night, to-mor row night and Saturday night, with a Saturday afternoon's matinee. From what we can learn by diliigent inquiry of the troupe, we believe they will give our people good satisfaction. We have ex amined a great many press notices, which are exceedingly favorable, among them we find the following: “The London Theatre Company played to a good house last night. The charac ters were all well sustained and some of the acting was simply superb; the music and bell ringing being especially enter taining.”—Anniston Watchman, 25th ult. “ ‘Fogg’s Ferry,’ as played by the Lon don Theatre Company at the opera house last night, brought forth one continuous roar of laughter from the audienee. The preformances by this company, on their noyel musical instruments, were full of interest anu called forth several encores.” —Anniston Watchman, 2Gult. •‘The London Theatre Company played ‘Lost in London’ last Tuesday night. It is a splendid play and there was some very fine acting by May Loranger as Nel lie and Frank J. Dean as Job Amroyd. Yet judging from the applause, as com pared with that which greeted G. Kemp shall as Blinker, a silly English servant, we doubt if it was appreciated by the audience. It seems it is low comedy with local gags which takes, and the most un natural acting and the most sally and ridiculous didos received the bulk ol' the applanse.”—Macon (Miss.) Sun.. . OUK SOLDIERS’ GRAVES. An Appeal for the Proper Caring of their I.attt Resting Place. Cabsville, Ga., March Ist, 1887. Spring time has come again, and with it the momentus question: “Shall we have a decoration of our soldiers’ graves?” We, the officers, are willing to do our part but our hands are tied; unless the members will send in their dues (25 cents per an num), it is so small a sum that the majority rarely give it a thought until the day ar-. rives, then it is too late. We who look after the work must pay promptly, how can we do so without the means? We have recently received a donation of $5 from a distant state, which should stimu late us to do our who'e duty and preserve cur county pride. We fell behind last year some seven or eight dollars, which must be paid. Will you come to the rescue ? L. M. A. STREET TAX ASSESSMENT.
