A greA many of our farmers have in formed us that they will put in a crop of broom corn this season. There’s money in it for the farmer, and no mistake about it. “Uncle” Jeff Cain, the veteran engineer, has been very sick at bis home in At lanta for several weeks. We are glad to learn that he is convalescing. The many friends, and they are legion, are glad to notice the presence of Mrs. M. L Spencer, of Social Circle, in the city.

The Couk.vnt-Amehican has never yet for an instant wavered in its belief .that a railroad would soon be built be tween this place and Gainesville. We hope that we may be able to give some authentic information in a short while, and believe it will be forthcoming. 11The Scheuer Brothers have anew adver tisement this week to which the attention of those in search of real good bargains is directed. Mose is in New York shipping spring and summer goods home recklessly and has given out the order to make room for them, consequently the boys at this end of the line is busy shoving off bar gains. Mrs. Poole, widow of the late Ben Poole, died at her home in Alabama last Satur day ami was buried at this place Sunday afternoon. The deceased was a good Christian woman, and was much esteemed for her many good qualities When the summons came she was i e.tdy and passed away quietly aud without fear, surrounded by her entire family. We are reliably informed that another land company is organizing, to be com posed of C'artersvillo and Atlanta people, .the purpose of which is to deal in land. This company will in no w r ay contlict with the Cartersvi le Land and Improve meat Company, that is now under such lavorable headway, and it is expected that both will be largely instrumental in attracting capital to our county. Mr. Pattillo, one of our most enterpris ing citizens, says that be stands ready to donate twenty-five acres of land to any manufacturing enterprise that will locate in Cartersville. The land he proposes to give, is capitally located for any kind of manufacturing. It is situated on the line of the \V. & A. R. R. near the junction of the E. & YV. li.

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. ♦ • The best Eye Glass and Spectacles made by A. K.

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. letter List.

And Dish Them Up In Delectable Shape For Otir Readers. Pine Log. The cold wave has gone back to the north, though not without leaving a me mento. All ihe fruit seems killed. Hydrophobia has made its appearance in this community. A mad-dog passed through the country several days ago, biting dogs, hogs, etc. Mr. Wm. Vaughn’s dog was bitten, and of which died with fits the third day. We haye Mr. Vaughn’s own statement for this. He said his dog and the fence was all that saved him. Col. Sharp, of Walesca, recovered his stolen horse. He passed through Sunday on his way home. I guess that preacher who stole the horse thought he had walk ed the circuit long enough. I guess the Col. will not have that preacher to pray in his house again soon. The Col. says 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. Dr. Felton preached an interesting sermon at Pine Log last Sunday. Several of our ladies went fishing Sat urday . Seme of them claimed that the young suckers would not bite, and that the elder ones had all been caught. Grassdale Items. One of the family being absent last week left a void which was not hard to fill with more interesting reading. Still the paper to a few looked a little lone some. Grassdale happenings have not been very numerous, everybody has settled down to work in earnest. Corn planting was the order of the past week. Look where ever you may see plows running, the little boy with his basket of corn was to be seen constantly dropping the grain, whistling merrily as he smash ed the clods with his bare feet. The storm will delay planting for a season. Still there it no rest for the farmer, al ways plenty of work can be found both for clear and rainy weather. Mr. Geo. Gibbons lias been suffering very much with one of his knees, which was cut a few years ago. Misses Georgia GibVons end Lillie Montgomery are on a visit to friends in Rome. Misses May Battle and Lula Hawkins are attending school at Iron ville. We felt a little uneasy about them at first for fear that they would get run over by the cars. But thunks to the watchful care of the teachers, Lem and his better halt, they have been kept off the track so far. We live so remote from railroads that we are always uneasy whenever our folks have got to go about the train. J. C. Herring had a two days working, putting anew roof on his dwelling. Thanks to his many.kind hearted friends who responded to his invitation so promptly. He was"enabled to get it on Saturday evening, just in time for this storm, and thereby escaped a drenching. Mr. Noah Pence superintended the work. Misses Leila Weems and May Battle gave valuable assistance to Mrs. Herring by stirring up some very delicious delica cies and waiting upon the table in their most graceful style. One of the county commissioners says their body was selected on account of their good looks. It is useless to make any com ment on this, at least any who have beeD so fortunate as to see the honorable body. Leave all to draw their own conclusion. Miss Alice linfroe spent Sunday night at Dr. Battle’s, with his daughter May. Walt Hawkins has became a regular attendant at the Methodist preaching, at least when eyer a certain young lady is in the congregation. I suppose he has joined the Sunday school for lie weais a S. S. badge. Miss Lida Saxon goes to Orlando, Fla., on Tuesday to spend two mouths. We regret to give her up for so long, but will consent if she will not smash too many j hearts and decide not to locate among the orange groves. Crofton. Adairsville. Generally our farmers are in advance with their work, and the land is better pre pared than for several years. Our small grain crops tire looking well. The pros pect for wheat better than for several sea son**. Our people look well, are in good spirits, and have made a step forward in accumulating. The merchants say that trade was very good during the past week, and cash is more plentiful than last spring. Adairsville is steadily improving. Work has commenced on the new hotel. When the busy season is over two brick stores of large dimensions will be put up on Broad street, and several new resi dences built. Col. Capers, as attorney for the Thomp son heirs, paid over to them the snug sum of $25,000 on Saturday. There are six of the heirs. Col. Capers has been very suc cessful in collecting large claims for some of our people. We heard a prominent citizen say that this section had received thousands of dollars during the past two years through his exertions. Such law yers are worth having. 'I hero was a charming drawing room entertainment at the hospitable home of Mr. Virgil Alexander, on Thursday night. Mrs. Alexander knows exactly how to make the young people happy at her home. Mr. Bankston, of Binggold, has been at work for several days in the Methodist cemetery putting up monuments and railing. The Methodist friends have determined to build anew church. We hope they will erect a creditable one. Revs. Mr. Dyar and McMurray were here on Saturday at a special conference of the Baptist church. The consul fees at Savannah for paying over the Thompson legacy, amounted to $248. Who would’nt be a consul? Col Capers has accepted the invitation of the president and will de iver the annual address to lhe Literary Societies at Dalton college in June. What was left of the fruit went up to the Heaven of good intentions on Monday and Tuesday nights. Peach pie will be pie sure enough th’s summer. There is a demand here for mineral lands. The iron and steel men of Pits burg, Pennsylvania, are prospecting this section yery closely. The Standard Wagon Company, of Cin cinnati, are looking around Adairsville for a place to locate a manufactory for hubs, spokes, etc. Piscatorial pursuits coupled with a fruitful imagination now form the fish •tories on a large sc lie. The lovers of fruits have hurled their wrath against Jack Frost for his wither ing blast. There is a probability of the Oatbcaloga church reorganizing. To know of the accuracy as well as well as the proficiency in which out Poetmas te”, and assistant, manage their office is ▼erv gratifying to their many friends. Work has begun on the hotel by thoroughly repairing the same by Mr. Baker, of Cartersville, who awards the contract to Mr. Waldoup, here.
