The attention of our farming friends is

demand in the south for this commodity
and we hope to see our farmers pay some
attention to tlie crop.

Don’t croak. We know its dull in
town —dull with everybody. But it is
busy in the country where the early
farmer wipeth the tepid sweat from his
brow. He risctli early and lieth down
tired. He is working for you, and when
Iris bales of cotton are ripe you will help
him pull them.
Your Uncle Joe Brown, sniffing the
breeze of the boom from afar, has gone
up on his mineral property a half million,
and the big trade has been declared off
Maybe it’s only a sly way of the Gover

to buy to the two million dollar proposi

There was a rumor a week or so ago
that a blind tiger existed in Cartersville,
but it is generally conceded that it
does not. Our people ire determined
that these iniauitious dens shall remain
silenced, and if anyone should have the
temerity to open up one he would be
found out and made to suffer for it.
Rev. Mr. Wadsworth, of Atlauta, has
been spending a day or so with Rev.
Sam Jones. It will be remembered that
this reverend gentleman was in atten

meeting of last fall and did much
towards making it such a success. His
many friends are very much pleased
to see him again.
The loafers are casting about for menus
to evade the two dollar street tax und
the vagrant law. At i solution of mat
ters we respectfully call their attention
to Bartow’s great mineral wealth that
sadly needs developing, and where they
can exorcise their muscle to considerable
extent. Anything beats leafing and be
ing looked upon as u vagrant.
Mr. Albert S. Johnson left for Laredo,
Texas, Monday night, which place he
will probably make his home. Albert is
a clever young man, a young lawyer of
much* promise, and has innumerable
friends in this section of the State who
wish him unbounded success in his new
home. He has the ability to achieve
great success and we do not fear the re
sult of his efforts in the far west.
Capt. J. J. A. Sharpe,of Walesca, Cher
okee county, was in Cartersvilie last
week hunting a horse that had been
stolen from him. The thief, after stealing
the horse, healed this way, but the Capt.
lost the trail a few miles out of town.
We have heard some unpleasant rumors
of an itinerant preacher being connected
with the disappearance of the animal, but
we withhold the publication of them un
til more substantial proof is forthcoming.
A Washington doctor startled the
country with the announcement that un
less President Cleveland change s his busi
cess habits ho will not live out his term.
The doctor says he does not take enough
exercise. Exercise is a great thing and
we do not know where more of it can be
used to advantage than by “kicking the
rascals out.” Let the President regain
lost health and perform a duty he owes to
his party, thus killing two birds at one
stone.
We noted last week the presence in this
office of a rifle that had a very bloody
history, it being once the property of the
noted guerrilla chieftain The
announcement, however, failed in the pur
pose for which it was intended, for spring
poets have been rushing in every hour. It
was but yesterday that “Fritz” Strickland
dropped in and intimated that he had a
“piece” that contained only forty four
verses, and was respectfully dedicated to
“Gentle Spring.”
Rev. W. 11. McConnell, Episcopal
minister, who has so faithfully managed
the welfare of Ascension church in this
place for several years, will leave Sat
urday for Frederica, St. Simous island,
where he will eugage in missionary
work. His family will remain two
weeks yet when they will join Mr.
McC. at their now home. Mr. Mc-
C muell has been faithful to his charge
and has made us a good citizen aud all
will wish him good luck m his new
home.
There will be a general temperance
meeting for the children of the town
and c immunity at the Baptist church
next Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Short
addresses will be made by Rev. J. T.Norris,
Prof. Mobly, Col. Howard, the pastor
of the church and perhaps others
Mrs. Conyers will sing for a solo, the
touchingly beautiful song, “Father Come
Home.” Mr. Cooper will show by an
easy illustration how whiskey cooks a
man’s brain. The Sunday Schools of the
town and the public generally are cor
dially invited to attend.
iHE FEXCK ELECTION.
A Ouiet ami Spirited Affair. Smoothly
Conducted.
Saturday was the day set apart for
elections on the fence question in Carters
ville and Cassville district. Each district
voted at their regular voting place, and
the fight was spirited during the entire
day. Cartersyille districts was carried by
a much smaller majority for fence than
w r as at the last election two years ago,
which is claimed by the stock law r people
to be a good omen. They hope to keep on
improying until they do carry the dis
trict far stock law. The vote stood—For
Fence, 436; For Stock Law, 163.
The Cassville district went fifteen ma
jority for fence, which election will be
contested. The stock law people were in
town Monday making arrangements to
contest, and they claim that they have
good grounds for doing so, and think the
result of the election will be declared in
their favor.
The Ea*t and West.
There are no new developments as to
the future movements of the East &
West authorities. One survey has been
finished between Broken Arrow to Eden,
Ala., a point on the Georgia Pacific
twenty miles from Birmingham. Another
survey is being made and when it is
finished the most practicable route will
be selected. No amount of inqury can
adduce any information from the engi
neers, as they have been put under strict
orders as to secrecy. Each member of
the corps is as dumb a3 au oyster.
J. Hull Browning, of New York, pre
sident of the East & West, is expected in
Cedartow’n this week, his brother having
been there several days. It is expected
that some information will be forth
coming when he arrives.
All sorts of rumors have been flying
but they always amount to nothing.
However, it is the general opinion here
that something is in the air and will soon
drop, the outcome of which will be the
c Xtension of the Eist & West to Birming
ham and Gainesville,
The road has sold several of their
engines to a Florida road, which might
be taken as a pointer.
A GOOD MACHINE.
A Cotton und Guano Planter Sold by Mr
Samlford Vaudivere.
Our farmer friends should not fail to
call at the North Oeorgia Furniture House
and inspect anew cotton and guano
planter that Mr. Vandivere is agent for.
The planter is said to eclipse the cele
brated Dowlaw which lias made con
siderable reputation. The machine is
well built and an inspection of its merits
will convince the most skeptical that it
will do what is claimed for it. It is manu
factured by Mr James G. Truitt, of
LaGrange, a gentleman we well know,
and whose business integrity is second
to none in the state. His name in con
nection with the planter is enough guar
anty for us to know that the machine is
all right.
We have now in stock another fresh lot
of New Orleans Sugars and Syrups which
w e can sell in barrel lots at rock bottom
prices. E. Strickland & Bro.
THE ETOIVAII PKOI'KKTY.
Trie Company Making Their Arrangements
For Active Operations.
The civil engineers employed by the
Etowah Iron and Manganese Compauy
arrived here Friday morning accompanied
by Mr. Aaron Haas, the secretary. They
immediately went upon the property
where they will remain for at least ninety
days. The corps is accompanied by our
county surveyor, Mr. Henry McCormick,
who goes along to personally superintend
the surveys and properly place them up
on record.
A mining corps, whose business it will
be to locate the furnaces, is expected
every day. These furnaces will be con
veniently located near the largest de
posits of minerals.
A significant transaction was made by
the company last week in taking an op
tion on one hundred acres of Capt. E. D.
Puckett’s land. It is proposed to erect
large rolling mills and steel pimts upon
this land. The option is taken for ninety
days at SIOO an acre.
Now a word to our people, there are a
great many people in the community who
do not think that our prospects are any
the brighter on account of the purchase
of the great Btowah property,—because
the furnaces and steel plants were not
built and put in operation in a day. They
do not take in consideration the immense
amount of money that is to be invested
upon the property, and the care and judg
ment necessary to place it where the best
benefits are to be derived. The new
owners are eminently right in being care
ful, for there is too much at stake to make
a misstep at the beginning, and no foolish
hurrving should be done. The company
is going to work in a most business like
way, taking their own time and it will
nearly be impossible to mike a mistake
WATCH OUT LOAFERS.
The City Da<l nre Af er You With a Bad
Eye.
“Ilaye you heard the latest?” was
asked a Courant-Amekicax man yester
day morning, as he was running down
another railroad rumor.
The speaker, who was a member of our
city council, began unfolding a copy of
an Atlanta paper that contained the fol
lowing item:
“Councilman Angier, at the request of
a number of prominent business men who
have signed a petition to that affect, will
present an ordinance at the meeting of
the General Council this atternoon, mak
ing it unlawful for people to congregate
upon the principle streets to the number
of three or more, and subjecting them to
arrest if they fail to move away witnin
five minutes after being requested to do so
by an officer. The fine ranges as high as
$50.”
“That’s just what we are going to do in
Cartersville, We have been investigating
and trying to find the best iron-clad va
grant law and have settled upon the one
cited in that paragraph. Y r ou can tell the
boys, big and little, white and black that
they must produce something else besides
a baseball bat or an option on a corner lot
to escape the vagrant law and the pun
ishment that is sure to follow all convict
ions.”
“What in the world has gotten into
you fellows to put such an ordinance into
effect just now when everybody is busy
watching the boom?”
“Why the truth is simply that loafers
are increasing in numbers in and around
Cartersyille, white, black, males and fe
males, and something has got to be done.
A halt has been called and the loafers and
loose characters may just as well vamoose
or go to work.”
RIGHT IN HIS YARD.
An Old Citizen Discovers a Manganese
Bank at His Very Door.
There was hardly any excitement here
Friday when the announcement was
made that a fine manganese bank bad
been found in the front yard of Mr. J. E.
Maguire, who lives only a few steps
from the court house and W. & A. rail
road. A workman was busy clearing
away and old dead tree and had com
pleted the job save digging up the stump.
He began digging up the immense roots
and when about a foot and a half from
the surface he struck a big deposit of
manganese, which is claimed by experts
to be as fine as the usual quality found in
this county. Mr. Maguire fully investi
gated his find and is fully satisfied that
he owns a rich mine. This is the only
property now in Cartersville that a price
of a fortune per lront foot is asked for.
Mr. Maguire had given an option on his
property which expired a day or so be
fore the discovery of his mine.
Now such an item as this would put
most towns on a boom —the idea that
manganese existed right in town—but
Cartersville does not blow for she knows
that her resources in that respect are
simply inexhaustible,hence no excitement
was caused by Mr. Maguire’s discovery.

Pint- Log.
The railroad question seems rather still

ing things genial with their bright smiles
and cheerful words.
Sabbath school and singing are im
i prov'ii? rapidly at Pine Long.
The Bartow county singing convention
meets at our church the first Sunday in
May. Let everybody come. We expect
a good time, not merely in pleasures, but
i in the real good that is to be gotten out oi

! animating and enobling to the soul. ' e
cannot cull too much good from these
great auxiliaries to the church.
Mr. Lucius Vincent, we understand,
will return to the west soon.
Kingston Budget.
I had the honor ot escorting the com
mitteemen of the Atlanta & Chattanooga
divisions of the Conductor's Brotherhood
to Spring Bank, the home of the Misses
Howard, last week. It was a very pleas
ant trip. The ladies were very kind and
notified the committee they were wel
come to the use of the beautiful grove aud
all necessary ground. Capt. R. R. Har
gis repiesented the Chattanooga division
and Capts. S. L. Vandivere and Chas.
Bell the Atlanta division. All were
favorably impressed with the place and I
am satisfied it will be selected as the
place for their annual picnic. It is expect
ed that two or three thousand will be
present.
Mrs. Peel Dodd, daughter of Mr Eli

Soineofthe visiting young ladies are
delighted with the new electric kiss. The
plan is for all to join hands, one touch

lightful shock. Your correspondent wit
nessed the performance and the affect
was so shocking that he dimed on a box
for fear some of the young ladies might
be so electrified as to kiss him by mistake.

We are ever ready to present the sunny
side of a picture. The sunnyside in this
instance is an oyster supper to be given
here on Tuesday niglit, March 29—another
benefit for the academy. Doubtless many
have grown tired reading of this struc
ture, though we never intend to stop
working for its benefit till it is finished in
side and outside, then some other theme
may be the topic. We promise that shall
be a galla night for all present. “Value
received for money spent,”—ro grab
games, but a good substantial oyster sup
per finishing off with ice cream. Come,
it is not long now that w r e can gather the
delightful fruit from the- oyster bed.
We expect many from Cartersville, she
has big hearted citizens who are not
afraid to loosen their purse strings for a
good cause. Hope Adairsville will put in
an appearance as she was not represented
here in February last.
