the result of Mr Jones' labors. Mr. Jones
also says tbeie is much inquiry at the
north about this section.

• stsndard-guage, to Birmingham on the
west and Gainesville on the east, Is now
almost an assured fact.—Cedartown Ad
vertiser.
Rev. John J. Jones, of Atlanta, chap
lain of the State senate, preached at the
Presbyterian church Sunday morning and
at night to large and appreciate audiences.
He is a grand old gentleman and everyone
that heard his sermons were greatly im
pressed with the force of his remarks. At

Maj C. H. Smith as an elder and Messrs.
R. W. Murphey and E. E. Freeman, as
deacons of the Presbyterian church.
Mrs. Sam P. Jones left for Cincinnati
last Thursday morning, accompanied by
Miss Mary. They will remain with Mr.

that he is now conducting there. There
is an unprecedented good feeling prevail
ing and much good is expected. At one
of the morning services Mr. Dan Rice, the
converted showman, occupied a chair
upon the speaker’s stand.
Talking about money making projects,
we would like to know what would pay
better than the Rowland sprir-gs, if con
ducted by energetic parties. It is a shame
that these most valuable waters should
continue to flow and not being put to
good. We hope to see the day when some
good company will have these springs in
charge and entertaining crowds equally
a9 large as those that flocked there before
the war.
Let’s see, can anyoue tell us what
Rome boom stock is uow quoted at? It
was 235 several days ago, and still
whooping upward. It certainly caunot
be true that it is now being eagerly
Hhoved off at par. Snob a report is cir
c dated and we cannot tell from the Rome
papers the price of the stock. The only
reason we can assign for the sudden de
cline in stock is that somebody has made
a mistake in not locating the vast min
eral wealth ueir enough to Rome.
Sarah Nelson, an old colored paralytic
woman, living in one of Col. T. W. Mil
ner’s tenant houses, caught ‘fire last
Thursday night, and was fatally burned,
from the effects of which she died one
day this week. She was sitting in front
of the open fire place when by some
means her dress caught lire. Her screams
alarmed the whole town and a large
crowd gathered at the house. Her suf
ferings were terrible, and in her case
death was a relief.
Nothing new has developed in railroad
circles since our last issue. The work of
grading on the East and West extension
at Broken Arrow began Monday morning,
with about sixty hands at work. Hands
are wanted si as to flush the work in 90
days. The report that the ofllces, under
Capt Postell's management, would be
moved here, seems to be unfounded, and is
stoutly denied by those that ought to
know. Capt. Postell has been warmly
congratulated by his old Cartersville
friends, and he would certainly be made
to feel at home if he chosed to make this
his headquarters.
The Cow Ordinance.
Probably nothing has disturbed the us
ual equanimity of our local affairs than
the new cow ordinance. The question
was broached a ween or so ago by some
one handing around a petition for signers,
petitioning our city council to pass an
ordinance to compel the citizens to pen
their cattle, and keep them off the streets.
The petition received quite a number of
signers. The friend of the cows, however,
came forward aud got up a counter peti
tion, and both were presented to the
council Tuesday night. Its discussion
waxed warm and consumed the entire
time of that body, and an adjournment
oyer until last night was necessary. When
the cow matter was again broachsd warm
feeling was at once perceptible on the
subject. Statesmanship ran riot while
fillibustering was reduced to a flue art. A
vote was called, when a tie was found, the
mayor cast the decisive vote in favor
of penning the cattle. The new ordinance
will go into operation June Ist, unless it
is repealed beforehand. The cow people
are determined and will fight for ld
“Muley” uutil the last. Messrs Griffin,
Gilreath, Crawford and A. J. Collins voted
in favor of allowing the cattle to run at
large, while*Messrs. J. C. Wofford, Aaron
Collins, J. C. Williams, John Hilburn and
Mayor Wikle were in favor of the ordin
ance.
THE COLLEGE.
Tlic Ground Broken and Workmen Ex
cavating for Foundations.
Messrs. Eave3 , the contractors, begau
work on the Sam Jones Female College
in earnest Monday morning and the
scenes around the building is quite lively.
Several hands were put to work excava
ting, preparatory to putting in solid rock
foundation, and it is thought that they
will finish in time for the rock masons
to commence laying foundations ou next
Monday morning. The rock that is to be
used is of good quality and will be put in
position by experienced workmen. We
are informed that work will be rushed to
completion, a large force of hands being
ready. Messrs. W. B. Wallace and
A. J. Collins have the contract for
the woodwork.
A Disastrous Fire.
Mr. Warren Kennedy, is a hardworking
tenant living near Eubarlee, aud by close
economy he accumulated enough clothing
and provisions to bridge him over to the
gathering of this year’s crop. Monday
afternoon while he was at work in the
field and his wife and children visiting at
a neighbor’s, his house caught fire, and it,
with its contents, were entirely consumed
before anything cmld be done. Not a
stitch of clothing or a pound of provisions
were recovered, and Mr. Kennedy did not
even possess a coat to cover his back.
His loss will amount to about S2OO, which
is considerr.ble to a poor man like him.
The good people of the community made
up a purse, and yesterday a small amonnt
was subscribed here for the benefit of the
unfortunate family.

Sunday, was an enjoyable one; the social

Those old beds of lime-stone rocks, so
long thought not only worthless, but a
nuisance, are turning out to be marble,
fine and valuable. Thus we realize the
great truth—that in the creation every
thing was made good. Mr. J. L. Vaughn
has some fine specimens of the gray,
white, pink and varegated marble. Mr.
B. A. Barton, Mrs. McDonnel, and others,

throughout this entire section of the

seats for the new school house.

Masonic Lodge. The work the Dr. was
so interested in, and which he acted his
part so well, was at a banquet table; he
says it was a splendid repast, the tab es
were loaded with all the good things of
the season. I don’t know what he pays a
man to keep him posted. Anywi.y he al
ways knows wheueyer the Masons are
going to have a big eat.
Mrs. Tom Pittard had a quilting at her
home on Friday last. I did not leirn
whose shoulder the cat jumped over.
There were several anxious faces around
the quilt during the performance. I un
derstand Miss Alice was out of humor all
evening because she was not the lucky
one.
Nearly all of our young folks went to
Cassville on Friday night to the entertain
ment gotton up by Mr. Sam Jones and
Mrs. Dr. Griffin. All pronounce it among
the best they ever attended. The music
was just grand. Some of the boys laughed
and yelled so much they cau hardly talk
since.
Mr. Oliver Buford was among us Satur-

recruiting after his hard spell of the
measles. Oliver is always welcome among
the Grassdale folks. We still consider
him one of us. Hope he will find it con
venient to come ofteu.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Weems aud
daughter, Louie May, spent Sunday at
their old home, and returned to Reeves cn
Monday.
Many thanks to Mr. Akin for his able
article about the city court. He shows
conclusively that it would be a detriment
to the county to abolish it, by figures and
facts which are bound to carry conviction.
I, like many others, thought a great many
cases were carried to the superior court,
thereby increasing the cost the county.
Our bridge is done, the travel has been
passing over it lor ten days or more, and
still the commissioners have not called a !

Halls Mills.
The past week has been one of the
coldest one3 we have ever had any recol
lection of seeing at this time of the year,
notwithstanding all of this the farmers
have been very busy preparing for the
future crop.
A great deal of cotton will be planted
again this year, but we trust that the
farmers will see to it that they take
enough interest in a corn crop to be able
to have a plenty of bread and meat at
home.
Last Sunday was a lovely day, and
Sunday school at the Methodist church
was full, and Rev. J. M. White had a fine
congregation aud preached a splendid
missionary sermon, and took up a collec
tion, and truly I did not know that there
was so much liberality among the people.
It is easy enough though to get up money
at Hall’s when called on for a charitable
purpose.

and the sun, the prospect is better than it
has been for several years.
One of our young men who is 25 years
of age and unmarried says if anybody
had told him 4 years ago that he wouldn’t
marry in 4 years it would have made him
mad enough to fight, but says he has not

had then. I wonder what is the trouble?
