EAST AND WEST.
I TRAINS TO RUN THROUGH
TO ISI KM INGHAM IN
SIXTY DAYS.
llf R ROAD PASSES INTO THE MAN
AGEMENT OF THE VETERAN
UAILROADER, CAPTAIN
JOHN POSTELL.
Carlersvll’e, art Last, to le IkuefiUcd by
the Route.
General good feeling pervaded Carters
ville Monday morning when it was au
thoritively announced that the East and
West Railroad, running from this place
to Broken Arrow, Ala , had been sold to
an eastern company. The announcement,
j coupled with others that Capt. John Pas
tell was to be Its general manager, and
1 that he would commence at once extend
ing the Hoc to Birmingham, caused our
people to smile and feel good.
The Constitution of Sunday first gave
an intimation of the new order of things
by publishing the following announce
ment:
“The Constitution is authoritatively in
formed that the East and West rai’road of
Alabama, reaching from Cartersville, Ga.,
to Broken Arrow, Ala., will in a few days
pass from the hands of its present owners
into other hands; in fact the contract has
been already signed and will be consum
mated as soon as necessary details are
worked out. The parties taking control
are strong eastern capitalists, headed by
Mr. George H. Pel', of the firm of Groves
teen A Pell, bankers of New Y'ork, The
roa 1 is to be at once completed to a con
nection with the Georgia Pacific and thus
to Birmingham. The work on this con
nection has been already begun, and will
be finished in a very short time. The
entire operations of the road will be under
the management of Capt. John Postell as
vice-president and general manager.
Capt. Postell is widely known as an ex
perienced and able railroad man through
out the country. It will be remembered
that he was formerly general manager of
this road, retiring in May, 1885, under
circumstances which culminated in heavy
litigation, brought by him in the courts
of Alabama. This case, which was de
! cided in his favor in the lower courts and
was pending an appeal in the supreme
court of Alabama, has bean sett ed on
terms most advantageous to Capt. Postell,
who resumes control of this valuable prop
erty. The success achieved by Captain
Postell is largely due to the efforts of
Messrs. Calhoun, King and Spalding, of
this city, bj whom the litigation was con
ducted in the Alabama courts, and who
represented him in the settlement. The
new management will at once largely in
crease its rolling stock, and in every wa}’
fit itself for handling and fostering the
growing trafiic of the sections of Georgia
and Alabama tributary to the road. This
extension to Birmingham is of the utmost
importance to North Georgia. The road
is the direct line between the manganese
and high grade inn ores of this section
and Birmingham, and opens to Georgia’s
rapidly developing iron indurtries, the
Coosa coal fields, which abound in fine
coking coal.”
THE WORK COMMENCES.
The work of the extension has begun in
earnest, and it is expected that at least
1,000 men will be at work by next Mon
day morning. The extension will be
made fur broad guage, but the guage along
the line will not be changed for a while,
at least. Mr. Schley, of Savannah, is the
contractor, and he came up Tuesday
morning and went out to the scene of
operation. We found him to be a very
clever gentleman, fully imbued with his
work. He has had considerable exper
ience in the busiuess, and assured us that
the extension will be finished to the point
on the Georgia Pacific, Eden, Ala., in
sixty days, lie is reticent as to any pro
bable extension of the road to Gainesville,
and did not know whether the road will
be made broad guage or not. Mr. Sanford
Vaudivere, who for a long time was fully
identified with the East and West, has
been made superintendent of construction,
and has gone to work in earnest. A bet
ter man for the position could not have
been found, a fact that Capt. Postell knew
from his own personal experience.
THE NEW MANAGER.
Probably there is not a person in rail
road circles who stands higher in the
estimation of his co-laborers than does
Capt. John Postell, who for so long a
time successfully managed the affairs of
the East and V'* est. Under his manage
ment the great coal fields of Broken Ar
row, Ragland, and other points were
pierced by the Etst and West. He is a
practical man, a thorough railroader, and
knows the country through which his pet
line runs aud its possibilities. Everybody,
railroaders and ail, were highly pleased
when the announcement came that lie
was to assume control again. He counts
everybody on the line as his friend, from
the humble trackman up. They all love
hnn and his word is law with them.
Though exact in the demands upon his
men, he lias a kind heart for them and
treats them kindly and considerate.
The success of the East and West is
fully assured under the Captain's able
management, and Cartersville may feel
safe that the road’s conduct towards it
will be a great deal more friendly than
heretofore.
THE EXTENSIONS.
In the extension of the road to Birm
ingham an outlet is thus given to the
great mineral products of our county.
The demands of Birmingham will be
promptly met from our inexhaustible
manganese and iron beds. A direct route
is had from producer to consumer, and
soon the hills of Bartow will be alive with
ore diggers. Better rates may said to
be one of the possibilities, our cotton
market wi 1 become more able to com
pete with towns that have been discrim-
favored by railroad manage
ments. A cotton compress may said to
be in full view, and soon our old town
will gather in the cotton bales that right
fully belong to her,
AN IMPORTANT TELEGRAM.
When the news of the change reached
Cedartown the place became very much
excited, and while the people are fearful
as to whether the change bodes them
good, they are somewhat cheered over the
fact that the immense capital invested by
the Brownings in the road will be trtns
ferred to another use—in building furn
aces and iron mills in the vicinity of the
town. As to the change & Cedartown
correspondent telegraphed the Chatta
nooga Times Monday thus:
“Excitement is at fever heat in our little
city this morning, caused by the authentic
announcement that the East & Weat rail
road company of Alabama had been aold
to a New Yorktompany. The new man
agement will assume control at once and
extend the road to Birmingham on the
west and Canton or Gainesville on the
east. It will be a broad gauge. Under
the new management Jno. Postell will be
the general manager. Messrs. E. F. and
J. Hull Browning, the president and
treasurer of the East and Meat railroad,
are in the city and assure your corres
pondent that the contracts have all been
signed up.”
Humors to the effect that the offices ol
the compauy would be transferred to
Cartersville have been flying thick and
fast, but no credence is put in them what
ever. But it is sincerely hoped that the
new management will find it to the in
terest of the road to locate here. Offices
Lave already been built and Cartersville
would gladly make welcome the able
management and his coterie of clever
sub officers.

MRS. LUCY MENU FEE TI.H.WONS.
The following beautiful tribute to Mrs.
Timmons appeared in the Newnan Ad
vertiser, and was writtem by Mrs. E. J.
Stacy, wile of ltev. James Slacy, I>. D.,
pastor Presbyterian church, Newnan, Ga:
It is sweet to review the lives of those
we love, and to treasure in our memories
their deeds of usefulness, which rise, like
fragrant incense, before us.
Thus, it is our melancholy privilege to
speak of one whom we have known and
loved from her carry infancy, and who
was with us until the dawn of the morn
ing of December 12, 1886, when her gen
tle spirit suddenly took its flight to her
heavenly home.
Mrs. Lucy Menefee Timmons, daughter
of the late Major W P. Menifee, and
wife of Rev. B. E. L Timmons, died at
the residence of her mother in Palmetto,
Ga., aged thirty-three years.
It is not saying t > much to call her a
model woman. When a child, she was
quiet and unobslru3ive; wlrn a young
lady, gent'e, amiable and refined, and
when the maturer years of womanhood
had settled upon her she was found to be
eminently practical, aud devotedly pious.
In 187i she graduated at College Tem
ple, Newnan, Gi., in a class of fourteen
bright, inttdiigent girls, three of whom
have preceded her to the better land.
Twelve years ago she was married to
Rev. Mr. Timmons, of the Methodist
church, who, with four interesting little
children, survive her.
In all the re’ationsof life she sustained
herself without faltering; as a daughter
nofte could have been more loving and
obedient; as a sister she was all that af
fection required; as a wife and a mother
she was faithful, fond and self sacrificing.
Possessing a rare executive ability, com
bined with unusual patience and Chris
tian zeal, she seemed to be eminently
qualified for a minister’s wife, being a safe
counselor and an earnest co worker with
her husband in the Master's service, and
as be himselt said, “She was my inspira
tion.”
Although her departure from earth was
suddeu and unexpected to her family, yet
the assurance is their’s that she was
ready.
“She f -Il asleep a,, c.dm y as the flow. rs
Cl sa their bright, eyes ir n the parting run;
Rut rot like ih<‘ra, to w.,ke o' earth once
more—
Her work is done.
.She fell asleep as softl v a* ihe win '.s
Die ami nr the violet beds whin i!av is cone;
They tome atraiu —she h is left earth forever.
Father! Thy will le done.’”
E. J. S.
Newnan, Ga., Dec. 15,1886.
A Remarkable Gootl .Showing:.
At the annual congregational meeting
of the Cartersville Presbyterian church,
held last Sabbath, a very gratifying re
port was made of the work of the church
during the year and of its present con
dition and prospects Nineteen members
have been added, making the total mem
bership 119. The Sabbath school is in a
flourishing condition. It is well attended,
is well officered and has a corps of teach
ers unsurpassed for faithfulness and effi
ciency. The deacons’ financial report was
the most satisfactory that has been made
for several years. The pastor’s salary
has been paid in full; liberal contribu
tions haye been made to all the benevo
lent schemes of the general assembly; all
current expenses have been met, some ex
pensive improvements have been made, a
small debt has been cancelled and the
church closes the presbyterial year free
from debt and with a small balance in the
treasury.
Our Presbyterian friends are very for
tunate indeed in the possession of sucli a
noble worker and untiring pastor as Mr.
Hilihouse, through whose never-tiring
energies this flattering showing, to a great
extent, is due. He is very popular with
his flock as well as the people of the
whole community, and though a young
man, and coming here a few months ago
stranger, is now well-known
over the whole county.
Cliamberiin, Johnson <& Cos.
Wc with pleasure call attention to the
advertisement of Messrs. Chamberlin,
Johnson & Cos., of Atlanta. As is well
known by our readers this is one of the
oldest dry goods, carpet, milinery and
shoe houses in the south, and for twenty
years they have not only held their ground
as leaders in their lines, but have enlarged
and rebuilt at different times until they
own the largest and most elegant store in
the south.
Their plan has always been to handle
nothing but first class goods, with a
guarantee on all they sell, both in prices
and quality, and now since they have
commenced importing direct, they clearly
have advantages and facilities not enjoyed
by other Southern firms.
We recommend this old reliable house
as solid financially, and composed of gen
tlemen, upright and honorabe in every
sense of the word, with few equals and no
superiors in the capacity of their calling.
Read their splendid advertisement, and
if you go to Atlanta call on them and see
their immense piles of imported dress
goods, carpets and millinery, and remem
ber they pride themselves on solving the
shoe question, and not only guarantees
wear but a perfect fit.

he would not have cared so much for
losing the horse, but he did not like for
a preacher to fool him in that way.
