Stilesboro, Ga Watch out lor your dowers, geutle housekeeper. Considerable freight is now going through the depot. A sing’e local spouter is worth a car load of local croakers. Mr. James 11. Curry, of Florida, has been in town this week. Mrs Akermau has returned from a pleasant visit to Florida. Considerable building will be soon commenced in this community. Glen Jones has a large inule for .ale for cash or on time with good paper Head the first chapter of our new serial this week. It is fine and sure to please. Frost has appeared several mornings and a peach crop this year is doubtful The option badness lias about played. It’s the money that tnnkes the mure go. ( So long ss Bob Pattillo stays in the foot hills we know that the country is em inently safe. Anyone having a copy of this paper ot 101 inst. will confer a favor by leaving it At this office Our business men are crying hard times and no business, especially those that do not advertise. Rev. John T. Norris is still investing in real estate, thus showing his faith in the good old town. Itobt. L. Jones, “ Shot Heel-Bob,” was acquitted of the charge last week of har boring Tobe Jackson. Au interesting description of Bartow’s great wonder, S.dpetre Cave, will be found ou our first page. Ben. Akermau, with his handsome John T. will soon invade the rural pre edits of Cherokee county. Frank Durham, jr., has entirely recov ered from his sickness and may be found at his post in the clerk’d office. One of the greatest needs of the day is a registration law. The demand is imper ative and should not go unheeded. Don't forget to call at Siuford Vandi vere’s and look at the large and select lot of mattings, carpets, wigs, etc. Mr. B E. StrickUnd, who lias been suffering from neuralgia of the worst form, we are glad to state, is improving. A street “fake” has been edifying the youngsters for the past few days, with liis slight-of-liaud performances and stale jokes. A great many subscriptions to this pa per expired during this and last month. Come up, gentlemen, and renew, this is business. Mineralogists are numerous these days. It goes without saying that they are all well pleased with our extensive mineral interests. The boys of the town will give a min strel performance at the opera house Friday night, so it is announced by handbills. Frauk Stephens, now in (he Durham cotton factory, Durham, N. C., has been np several days visiting his mother at Stilesboro. . Miss May Hutchins, a popular and ac complished young lady, of Lawrenceville. is visiting the family of Maj. C. 11. Smith, of Erwin street. Those having farms or mineral lands for sale could do no better than adver tising them. Now is the time to place them on the market. John Skinner, now of Anniston, has been here for the past few days. His re turn homo was a source of much pleasure to his many friends. Jas. D. Rogers was in our office cue day last week and made us promise that we would tell it. It’s a girl, and Jim is as happy as a lord. The youngster pineth and wauts to know if Cartersville will be favored with a circus the coming season. We’ll ask the county commissioners. William Ezziml, once a citizen of North Georgia, is lying at the point of death at his homo in Atlanta. He was in this country before the Indians left it. The harmonioan is a favorite instru ment of Col. Harris. He employed a darkey yesterday afternoon for two hours blowing favorite tunes lor his own edifi cation. The interstate commerce bill has killed our free pass and we will have to walk after the first of next month. Do you blame us for adopting the cash system, dear reader. John Smith is now a persistent patron of the East and West road. He doesn’t care a snap what becomes of the road so long us a train goes to Rockmart at least once a week. A letter has been received from Eaves & Kuves, who are now at Thomasville fiuishing up some contracts, stating that they will be on hand Monday ready to begin active work on the Sam. Jones Female College. “No. 8,” the engine of the East and West that went down in the trestle wreck last year, has been overhauled and puffed into town Monday under charge of Mr. Genrhardt. Rev. Joe Jones is attracting large con gregations in Pennsylvania. A private letter to this paper was received yesterday afternoon stating that his meetings are very successful in that State. The R. 11. Jones & Sons manufacturing company have been offered ground in Rome to build on besides a liberal amount of stoken taken. The matter is now un der advisement by Col. Jones. To be up with the times the society woman must now abandon the spider track penmanship and adopt the fine Italian hand which ladies of long ago de lighted in. This is official, ladies. Soon the fisherman will wend his way to the water’s edge and yank from the depths of the limpid streams immense yarns. A society for the prevention of cruelty to the truth should be inaugurated at once. Mr. Dave Curry w’as in town Tuesday, lie will probably domicile his family here during the hot summer months. The schedules now would allow him to come up every afternoon and leturn early next morning. Several told us last week if they lived they would settle their accounts on the following Monday. As the undertakers sold no caskets or coffins that day we have become convinced that somebody lias —prevariated. The attention of our farming friends is called to the article on the first page on broom corn culture. There is a pressing demand in the south for this commodity and we hope to see our farmers pay some attention to tlie crop. One of the best things that Sam Jones ever said is the following: “The most beautiful sight in the world is to see a family around a cheerful fire, with the head of the family reading his local news paper which he has paid for in advance.” Quite a crowd went down to Atlanta Friday night to see the ministrels. Our theatre goers are much obliged to the railroad authorities for the convenient schedules that enables them to go down to see the stars and leturn the same even ing. | Bob. Pattillo has a card in another I column, to which the attention of those wishing to sell farming or mineral lands is respectfully called. Mr. Pattillo, hav ing gone out of mercantile business now devotes his wh death ntion to these spe cialties. 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 nor's to bring the syndicate that wants to buy to the two million dollar proposi tion. Who knows ? 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 dance upon the great tabernacle 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.

The railroad question seems rather still now, but most of our energetic people still expect the road to lie built. Our little village was lively last Satur j day ; the Messrs. Adair were down from Fairmount Saturday and Sunday, mak 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 ! fine singing. Good singing is reviving, ! 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 Barrett, died on Sunday, March 20th at 12 o’clock. She has been a great sufferer for several months with consumption. She was interred at Euharlee on Monday 21st. Dr. Felton preached an excellent sermon at the Methodist church last Sunday. We notice ut the Couche House Miss Lula White, of Cartersville, and Miss Addie Henderson, Murfreesboro, Tenn., visiting the family of Capt. A. Y. Sheats. Miss Nellie Howard and Miss Rosie Howard have returned from a visit to Calhoun. Mrs. J. E. Parrott and son, Edward, of Calhoun, arc visiting friends and rela tives in town. Mr. Nelson Gilreath, Jr., of Cartersville, is visiting his uncles, T. V. Hargis and J. F. Hargis. Miss Ada Beck has returned home after a visit of several months in Atlanta. Her friends v T ere delighted to see her again. Soineofthe visiting young ladies are delighted with the new electric kiss. The plan is for all to join hands, one touch the battery and then kiss and it is a de 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. Adai raviHe. The blue birds have quit singing for the last few days. Rev. R. F. Taylor preached a very im pressive slrmon at the Union church last Sundaj’. Mr. Jas. Howard, of Cartersville, has returned to our town to attend the Bar tow Institute. This school is one ol the best in the State. Board is cheap and good. Capt. Fulton can learn you if you want to know anything. Mr. A. J. Slatton is at home sick. Mr. S. is a conductor on the W. & A. R. R. Mr. Jas. F. Armstrong died at his home near here last Thursday, March 17. Mr. A. was a good citizen, a member of the Methodist church. He was about 59 years old. He was buried at Poplar Springs cemetery last Saturday. Mr. Jas. Morton, of Alabama, has been visiting Mr. Robt. L. McCollum. Mr. W. S. Hunt has returned from a visit to Sonora. Mr. Thos. Tomlinson and Mr. W. Hen derson have been taking in Alabama’s boom fields. Rev. G. S. Tumlin, of Marietta, was in town last week. Mr J. M. Vcacli and his daughter has returned from Florida. Kingston Entertainment. Messrs. Editors— Suppose Kingston has a voice in your paper again. Let the wind from our midst blow’ someone good. 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. Tax Receiver’s Notice.
