Whether the boom was the cause of it
or not, but it is a fact that the people are

being blamed for tfieir negligence and
have called a halt.
The manganese ore beds on the poor
farm, the property of the county, are said
to be very fine. The farm has been for
sde for some time at a low figure but the
finding of so much mineral on it has
caused the county commissioners to take
it off the market until a full inspection is
made. In the possession of the poor farm
Bartow county bids fair to get on a boom
herself.
Mr. N. S. Eaves, the contractor, is

town and section.

placed in possession of an old rifle that
has a bloody history. It was owned
for several years by the notorious guerilla

outlaw's friends. The gun is a formida
ble looking weapou and doubtless if it
could talk could unfold many a dark
murder.
Col. Bob Haney, of Birmingham, has
been in town for several days, inter
mingling with his many friends. The

really more ground tor a boom than any

fested there in regard to Cartersville and
Bartow county. He outlines a brilliant
prospect ahead for us and is sure they
will come to pass. When the tide does
begin to flow in it will come with a rush
he says.
City Court Doing*
The March term of City Court of
Cartersville couveued at 10 o’clock ou
last Mouday, Judge J. M. Neel presid
ing.
The civil docket was first called, and
a number of caaes disposed of. On
Tuesday morning the criminal docket
was taken up, aud quite a batch of mis
demeanors have been disposed of, the
bulk of them haviug been transferred
from the Superior Court.
The first case called was that of the
State vs. Wesley McElroy, a strapping
buck of ginger cake hue, charged with
the offense of selling whisky, but the
negro witnesses upou whom the Solicitor
relied to make out his case, wont back
upon him, failiug to swear to auy facts
essential to convict, thus giviug Wesley
his liberty, who only had a breathing
spell before the city authorities nabbed
him for a violatiou of one of tb e town
ordinances and sent him up for thirty
days.
The next case oalled was that of the
State vs Pomp Johnson, the sable but
enterprising restaurauter aud loud
mouthed ice cream vender, charged
with simple lnrceuy. This is one time
that Pomp’s enterprise got him about
ten dollars ahead, in a little transaction
with John Banton, some time in the
fall of 1885. Pomp’s counsel waived
trial by jury and consented for the
Court to try the case. After hearing
all the evidence in the case, Judge Neel
thought sufficient proof had beeu ad
duced to establish his guilt, and so
found. Whereupon sentence was passed
inflicting upon Pomp a fine of fifty dol
lars, or iu default thereof, to serve for
eight mouths at hard labor iu the chain
gang.
The oase of the state vs. Dook Ross,
charged with violating the prohibition
law, being next iu order, was called,
Dock who is extremely highly colored,
it seems, sometime during last fall,
gave an entertainment at his house in
the seventeenth, to which he invited all
of his colored neighbors, announcing
that he would have refreshments to sell
aud hot pepper tea to give away. The
evidence developed that Dock’s tea was
a first class stew heavily Bpiked, and the
cake aud refreshment business was a
mere ruse to conceal what would other
wise be a sale of whiskey. At auy rate,
the oourt took this view of the matter,
and so ordered Dock to waltz to a fine of
seventy five dollars, or iu default thereof
to serve eight mouths at hard labor in
the chaingang.
In the case of the state vs. Cicero Rai
ney, charged with assault aud batterv,
| the jury made a mistrial.
The state vs. Joe Clarke; misdemeau
or, verdict not guilty.
The state vs. Young Hendricks, mis
! demeanor; verdict not guilty.
In the case of the state vs. Milton
Erwin, not guilty.
The state vs. Fauie Smith, colored,
charged with fornication and adultery;
verdict guilty.
The state vs. Jonas Thomas ; fornica
tion; verdict not guilty.
Judge Neel is pushing the business of
the court with commendable rapidity.
He is making our city court a most val
uable aud economical institution for the
people of Bartow oounty, and under
his splendid administration, it is rapidly
growing iu public favor.

THE FEELING UP NORTH.
A Cartei-bvillian ia Beuiged With Ques
tion* Concerning Our Section.
That the northern people are fast get
ting an insight into the advantages of the
south, there is no doubt. The northern
press is filled with news concerning us,
and letters are received constantly, asking
if the stories read in the papers, are true
Anew feeling is prevailing through that
whole section, and its effects is seen from
the tide of immigration that has set in, and
increasing in volume every day.
Mr. George Kernodle, of the Eist&
West railroad, has just returned from a
few weeks trip to the principal cities of
the north. Mr. Kernodle bus recently
invented an adjustab.e car bearing, and
the introduction of his appliance is what
called him north. He visitec. New York,
Chicago, Jersey city, Philadelphia, Cinein
uatti and Pullman, and was thrown in
company with some of the important per
sonages of those cities. His invention has
created some sensation in railroad circles,
and our old friend bids fair to make an
immense amount out of it- It possesses
such vast advantages over the present
appliance of like kind that it is only a
question of time that its use will be uni
versal over the whole country. The Cin
cinnati Southern, the little Miami road
will adopt it at once, and the Pullman’s
are negotiating for its use on their celebra
ted sleepers
Everywhere Mr. Kernod’e went he was
plied with questions regarding the section
from whence he came, and asking sub
stantiation of the flowery stories that had
been Udd.
Mr. Kernodle talked up his section as
best he could, and undoubtedly convinc
ed some of them th it the half had not
been told. Mr. K., informs us that he
was repeatedly asked about Henry Grady,
all admitting that he had set the north
wild. Mr. Grady has undoubtedly done
an immense amount of good for his sec
tion, and lis speech before the New Eng
land club did much to turn the tide of im
migration this way. Well, may we all
feel proud of him.
From what Mr Kernodle could gather,
the impression prevailed to considerable
extent that soon the long bound up cap
ital of the north would soon be flowing
into the south with a tremendous rush
and soon our section will be as Pennsyl
vania, full of factories and mills. The
brotherly feeling of the two sections is
getting warmer every day, and the skep
tics are falling into line and flowing with
the tido.
Mr. Kernodle is full of enthusi&sni over
the kind attention given him on his trip,
and says he was never better treated in all
his experience.
LIVELY TIMES rOIt A MARSHAL.
Deputy Marshal Creed 11. Cuuyus Han a
Lively Time.
Newt Holland, who lives just over the
line in Paulding county, was recently ar
rested and bound over to court for viola
ting the revenue laws. He failed to put
in his appearance Thursday at court in
Atlanta and Deputy Marshal Creed H
Cunyus was detailed to look him up aud
bring him in for trial. Creed had no
trouble in locating his man in his old
haunts, and Sunday afternoon he went
out to effect his arrest. Stopping in the
vicinity at the house of one of the fugi
tive’s bondsmen, he began talking with
some children. While thus engaged he
was surprised to see his man walking up
a path accompanied by two women and
in front of him was his brother with a
woman also. The brother saw Creed
first aud began waving Newt back, Newt
understood the danger signal, and, leaving
his two female companions, took to the
brush. To follow him Creed was compelled
to pass the brother and the three women.
As he passed the women grabbed at him
and one succeeded in giving the marshal
a pretty good hugging. He broke loose
however and was putting down his live
liest licks to overhaul the flying moon
shiner, when his speed was somewhat
accelerated by the loud yelling of
the women, who had started two
vicious bull dogs after him. The chase
was narrowed down to the moonshiner
aud Creed with every chance in favor of
the latter until the dogs appeared on the
scene. The dogs ran fast and were soon
at the marshal’s heels. A shot or two
from his pistol only stopped them for a
moment or so, whan they again entered
the chase, only to be again checked by the
marshal and ’ his pistol. The chase was
kept up this way for several hundied
yards until Creed fell and the dogs were
about to get the best of him. He gave
up the chase for the moonshiner and
kept off the dogs. When be got back to
where he left his horse hitched, the
women were on hand, cursing and
swearing and with axes and rocks drawn
they proposed to make short work of the
doughty deputy marshal. A Smith &
Wesson gently prevailed and the official
was allowed to depart unhurt. Creed
says this is the first time he ever was run
by dogs and so badly hugged by the
enemy.
Tilli EAST ASD WEST KOAO.
A Surveying Corps on the Line Between
Broken Arrow and Eden, Alabama.
■‘Mum’s” the word with the East aud
West railroad officials aud any amount
of inquiring fails to develop any of their
schemes. That there is something unu
sual going on there is little doubt. Long
er crossties are being put down for the
change to broad guage, and the bridges
and trestles along the route have been
widened for a like change.
A surveying oorps under charge of
civil engineer Henderson, left Broken
Arrow Monday with assistants surveying
a route from that place to Eden, a point
on the Georgia Pacific railroad, a dis
tance of six miles. The survey will be
finished the latter part of next week
and it is rumored that a sufficient forco
of hands will be put at work to finish
it up in ninety days.
Capt. John Postell, for a long time
the efficient manager of the E ist aud
West, seems to be connected with the
extension, and has gone to New York
to perfect arrangements. He was in
Cedartowu a few days ago getting the
surveying corps at work.
THE SAM JONES FEMALE COLLEGE.
Workmen Hauling: Hock for the

A deed for the land necessary was con
veyed by the tabernacle committee to the
college committee last week and was stak
ed off Tuesday afternoon. Workmen are
busy getting out rock and hauling it to
the spot, and the ground for the brick
yard has been secured in Col. Howard's
meadow. Ground will be broken Mon
day morning, and active operations will
then begin earnest.
The laying of the corner stone of this,
Cartersville’s greatest and most lasting
enterprise, will be done with imposing
ceremonies on the first Saturday in May.
Eminent speakers will be present.

AN IMPORTANT FEATURE,
A Fine DDplay of Our Vast Mineral
Wealth Made by Capt. Peacock.
There is no one individual or set of
men in our community that has done
more to bring before the eyes of the world
our varied resources and vast mineral
wealth than Capt. D. W. K. Feacock. It
was he, after eight long years of patient,
painstaking work, that finally got inter
ested the Etowah Iron and Manganese
Company in our section and it was he
that consummated the sale of the long idle
Cooper works to that company a few
weeks ago. Capt. Peacock knew the
property well and he was confident that
such a valuable tract could not always
remain in idleness. At last his noble ef
forts has been crowned with the success
deserved. He has cause to be proud, for,
with its sale commences the development
of our county. The sale has stirred up
the capitalists of the country. The hun
dreds of mines over the county have come
into demand, and soon the smoke from
scores of furnaces will be curling heaven
ward.
Capt. Peacock has opened up a neat
office over the Howard bank and fitted up
an elaborate mineral cabinet. Here those
interested can see to what extent grand
old Bartow adds to the mineral wealth of
our country, every kind of mineral imag
inable can be found in the cabinet, and
the spot from whence the sample came is
known. It wiU be a good advertisement
for our county, and will greatly assist to
practical investment inquiring capital.

The “Col.” William* Combination.
In all her varied show experience, Car
tersyille never saw anything to equal the
‘ Col." Williams combination that held
our opera house Saturday night and bor
ed a score or more of our boys nearly to
death. This combination consisted of
one man and two women, and what time
is not taken up in alleged acting is con
sumed in walking from one town to an
other —hunting new fields ta conquer.
“Col.” Williams is the chief walker and
heavy man of the combination and is
possessed of more than the usual amount
of gall of showmen. We know not why
he calls his troupe a “combination,” un
less it is a combination of cheek and walk
ing propensities. It was certainly a great
combinatiocjn that respect. The doughty
Colonel left here for Acworth where he
proposed to give a performance. He told
bis audience here that he would be back
again when blackberries were ripe. He
will probably join O’Couor in a few days,
that is if he can walk fast enough.
W r e have now iu stock another fresh lot
of New Orleans Sugars and Syrups which

prices. E. Strickland & Bro.

Several of our young ladies asked me
not to say that Bob Renfroe and Walt
Hawkins were bird hunting around here
on Saturday and that they were with
them in the hunt. If they are so ashamed
of their company 1 will not mention their

ful not to mention tho hunt, as the boys
were so generous as to come by and give
me a nice mess of birds which was so
much enjoyed by brother White, who
spent Sunday night with us, and our
whole family. The girls say the boys
I'ust did this to get their names in print.
