John Smith slipped off to Rockmart yesterday afternoon. As usual, there’s a fair one in the case. Messrs. Turner & Baker have one of the finest burglar proof safes in town, for the storage of their valuables. Don't chant your little Bpring ditty too soon, old March is a wary old rascal, and doescousiderable blowing. Walt Headen was in town Tuesday and us the girls all say, he was looking as, handsome as ever. By looking over this paper no one could tell that Cartersville supported three good hotels, hut she does nevertheless. Rev. J. S. Hillhouse preached an able an 1 interesting sermon to a large congre gation at the Methodist church last Sun day night. “The Etowah Boom," it will be seen by reading an article in reference to it on our first page, seems to permanent and has come to stay. Mineral property is eagerly sought af ter just now, and the man that thinks his corner lot is a gold mine, is getting left every day. Mr, It. C.

Cooper delivered a strong sermon at the Baptist Church on last Sunday morniDg, on the subject, “Can the healhern be saved without the gospel?" Young Joe Brown says the next boom of any importance will be between Car tersvHle and Rogers. In the language of that worthy young hustler, “Dinna ye hear the Slogan.” Ollier towns may boom as they may on fictitious values but old Bartow and Car tersville will get there on solid develop ment. We’ve got the stuff for a boom of a nature. James O’Connor has been vanquished at last hut not by inappreciative audi ences. A sheriff m Greenville, S.C., walk ed in while he was acting and attached .his baggage for debt the other night. The London Theatre Company, which so completely captured our people, may give us a performance about the 20th of next month, on their return home. They will receive a hearty welcome. If you have enough land to make two lots it w ill pay you to nearly give one away to bring in a good live citizen. The value of the lot retained would enhance sufficiently to coyer the gift. Capt, Pick Hargis was in town the oth . er day feeling'good over the profit of $ 1,000 he made in Chattanooga dirt. The genial • Captain lias many friends in the county and they are g ad of his good luck. Murray Hawkins, of the railway mail 'service, on the Marietta and north Geor gia route, w'as in the town Sunday. Mur ray makes a good route agent and is much pleased with his new location. The farmers of Bartow are all on a boom. This announcementis made simp ly from the fact that they all are going to let up ou cotton and are going for hog and hominy and “sich” like. This is a boom what in a boom. Col. W. P. Price, and 11. C. Ramsaur, of Dahlonega, were in town yesterday, on their w’ay to Cedartowu to confer with the East & West R. R , authorities con fer ling the extension of that road to Gainesville. The Chautauqua circle helds its semi monthly meeting, at the residence of Mr. W. C. Edwards, on Market street last Tuesday evening. The circle is making splendid progress, and it is a genuine treat to attend one of its meetings. One of the most distressing sights pre sented to a progressive citizen is thecom morant holding his properties at the highest figures and asking “ Where’s the boom?” He would soon discover a boom if could possibly open his callous heart and encourage new comers. The Jones carriage factory is now turn out some handsome work for different parts of this state and Carolinas. Work from this solid establishment is in demand in all sections and orders come in from the most remote localities. It is decidedly a home institution of which we are all proud. Civil engineers will arrive this morning who will go out to the Etowah property and locate the furnaces of the company which will be built at once. The Coi’rant-Amf.rican is now print ed with a Cincinnatti cylinder Dress right out from the tactory. The press is one of the neatest and best finished pieces of machinery we ever saw, while its work — well, our readers can judge for themselves. Msj. “Bill Arp" Smith got in from Florida Saturday, much pleased with his trip, He next goes to Newr York to deliv er a aeries of lectures. We’ll bet our coming straw hat that the Major will present our section to our northern friends in good shape. The mcasle epidemic, for the past two weeks has interfered considerably with the schools; in sorts instance more lhan half of the children being confined at home. We are glad to state, however, that most of them have recovered with no serious results. Messrs J. C. Romine and fj. M. New berry, of Rochester Michigan, spent sever al days of last week in looking around. They are substantial gentlemen, and will probably be the means of locating quite a co ony of their friends here. They were highly pleased and will carry back a most favorable report. Whether the boom was the cause of it or not, but it is a fact that the people are letting their money loose more freely than heretofore. Improvements are going on all over town and an air of general thrift pervades the whole community. It would not be amiss to ask some of aur subscrib ers to come up and renew while this good feeling is on. Our new serial will commence next week. We hear considerable complaint from parties not getting their papers and hence did not get the whole of “Walter Brownfield." We are determined that our mail shall have proper attention from postmasters and mail agents hereafter or know the reason why. We are tired of 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 having rock hauled for the bui ding of ihe Sam Jones Female College, and will break dirt in a very few days. Ground for a brick yard has been located in Col. Howard’s meadow, at a convenient dis ; tance from the work. Soon the ring of i the trowel will be heard in building an | institution that will be an honor to our town and section. The Couhant-American has been placed in possession of an old rifle that has a bloody history. It was owned for several years by the notorious guerilla chieftain Quantrell. The gun passed in to the possession of a Bartow man through the bands of one of the 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 Colonel positively states that we liavo really more ground tor a boom than any of the boomed towns of Alabama, and says there is considerable interest mani 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. C. T.

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 , Foundation*. 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. Strickland & Bro. handle the largest stock of Hour in Cartersville, bought from first houses, and it will pay you to get their prices before going elsewhere.

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. LETTER-LIST.

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.

Last week was so pretty and warm that the farmers were asking each other when are you going to, or have you planted any corn? Do you think we are going to haye j any more cold weather? But Sunday night the winds decided to change its course and this morning feels as if it had been traveling over an iceberg for some time. Now the boys have changed, and say “I think it i9 too soon to plant. Grass dale cannot be eclipsed in the chicken business by Cass Station, even if we are so far from the railroad.

White spent Saturday night at Mr. Gibbon’s. His sermon at Best’s on Sunday was one of the most eloquent and touching that we have ever listened to. We are proud of him as a preacher and have no fears to invite friends from any other charge. Asa pastor he cannot be excelled. The latch strings of this whole community hang on the outside to him all the time. We have a scramble at each appointment as to which string he shall take hold of. While we are so much pleased with Rev. Mr. White, still we have not lost a particle of love for our former pastor, brother England. Mr. and Mrs. Crenshaw, from Rowland Springs, spent Saturday night and Sun day at the old home with her relatives.

Hope she may be soon restored to her family in perfect health. 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 names. I feel I would be very ungrate 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. )o so again boys. We expect to have a lively time next Saturday at Caesvill*.
