COURANT-AMERICAN. Entered in thr Postejftee at Carter*r/7te, C,n. (U worid das* matter. CIRCULATION .... 2,200. THURSDAY, MARCH, 31 1887. OFFICE NEXT DOCK TO THE POBTOFKICE. Small Items Corralled. R E. Cason, resident dentist, Carters villc, ('a. Office, up stairs, over Wikle’s drug store. jan 18. 11. J. McCormick, County Survejor, 1\ O. Stiiesboro, Ga Miles Dobbins is up from a severe spell of measles. Very little property wa3 sold sale day. * Edgar Todd has move 1 back to Car teravule aud gone into business. Call at Bridges & Smith's for Shad and other fish, Saturday. Will be here on morning train. Messrs. Dave Curry and Herbert Wil liam were up from Atlanta Sunday and Monday. The type of meas es that is now in our midst is of a more malignant nature than usual, so the dorters say. Mr. Thus. Baxter came up from At lanta Tuesday, also Mr. Thos. 11. Ken nedy. After a few weeks pleasant visit to friends and relatives in Rome, Miss Sallie Milner returned home last week. There is no excuse for loafing in Car tersville, as there is demand for all the labor that can be had. Sanford Vandivere carried out a lot of hands to the extension of the East and West Monday morning. Ben Akerman li is bought the thorougbbod m ire, “Eva H”of Mr. J c re Field. Our schools are yet somewhat de moralized by the great amount of meas les in the town. A drunken man is rarely ever seen on our streets, and when one does show him self lie’s a stranger fresh from a wet burg. Mr. 11. 8. Chamberlain, once a resident of Cartersville, but now a prime mover in Chattanooga’s present prosperity, was in town Monday. Mr. R. A. Hemphill, of the Constitu tion, was in town yesterday looking alter the interest of the cyclonic fc.it in south ern journalism. Cow or no cow, that is the question. With this question planked down in a good platform one could near get to congress from this bailiwick. R. W. Satterfield returned from market Sunday morning. He is still of the opinion that Now York is a pretty good sized town. Mr. Steve Posted, brother ofCapt. John Posted, was in town Monday on business for the Etowah iron and manganese company. Ollie Williams lias so far improved as to appear n\ oa the streets. lie will return to his business in Chattanooga the latter part of this week. The wind Monday afternoon caused , many to think of the cyclone that passed through a tew years ago, It was a very strong one and looked squally fora while. Judge Joel Branham, of Rome, was here yesterday looking after miueral in terest*. Ho is of the opinion that we have plouty of it. Rev. Sam. P. Jones will be home Saturday morning and may probably preach at the Methodist church Sunday morning. Revenue Collector A. W. Fite starts upon his regular collecting tour on the 20th, Kingston being the first point out side. Misses Maggie Lewis, of Adairsville, after a week’s pleasant stay at Maj. Foute’a, left for Florida last week. She was accompanied by Miss Lida Saxon, and both will rem liu for several weeks. Farmers he sure and plant a crop of broom corn. There is a prospect of a broom factory of being put up here. In terested parties are looking into, the matter. • The air of improvement has fairly par alyzed the town. Everybody i9 painting and brushing up. Painters have ad they can do,and haye orders ahead to keep them busy during the entire summer. Cel. Word has had the painters busy round his popular West Main street drug store until it looks considerably better. He lias just finished a substantial fire proof oil house for the storing ot his oils. Col. John Akin has just now become the itossessor of a most interesting case of mumps which keeps him confined to his home. John has a very poor opinion of the mumps, to say the least. The Rome “boom’’ flickers. The truth is the boom is not quite near enough to tlie vast miueral interests that Dame Nature has so profusely scattered iu aud around Cartersville. Mr. Zimri W. Jackson left Tuesday morning for a several weeks’ tour of the west, lie will visit bis sou Walter, at Bonham, and probably a sister in Cali fornia. Mr. and Mrs. Johu H. Cobb have the sympathies of the eutire community in the loss of their baby daughter little “ l iuy," who died of measles last Thurs day morning, after a long illness. Mrs. Jame* Russell, Mrs. Miry R. Eagau, Mrs. W. U. Hoyt, of At auta, came lip last week visiting our clever fellow townsman, Col. It. W. Murphey, They returned Monday morning. It is thought that a boom would have a pretty lively time in catching up with some of the prices that property is now being held at by a few parties in this commu nity. Then the boom has plenty of time to grow. Will S idler left for S mth Carolina 1 ist Thursday to be present at a brothers’ wedding, and to see the old friends of his youth. He will also show the people of the Palmetto state what we can do in buggy manufacturing. Mr. J. P. Jones has a handsome adver tisement in this issue, in it he makes some startling announcements. He is lively and means business, and can be counted as being in the ring for time to come. Rev. Mr. llillhouse has been in Calhoun since m mday and will be at the presby tery at Acworth which will convene this morning at that place. No services will be held at the Presbyterian church next Sabbath. Senator Brown has, wo learn from a perfectly reliable source, withdrawn from the proposed deal in which his vast mining property was interested. The company that proposed to buy failed to come to time. The meetings at the Baptist church are well attended. So tar the pastor has had to do all the preaching. Let oyerybody go out aud encourage the pastor by their presence, get good to their own soul* and show the unsaved that the members of 4he church are their friends. The iuter-State commerce law has not as yet affeeted the tramps. The tramp fraternity is down on railroads anyhow and they wouldn’t rideeveu with free p isses. The chance to ride on the “blind baggage” still remains secure and uot iu the le.ist affected by the new order of things. Col. Jas. B. Conyers has the baud somest aud most unique, aud probably the cheapest c irpet ou his oflios floor we have seen lately. It is simply painted attractively iu red and white aud being varnished will last always. The idea is good and we expect to see others follow suit. In view of getting up u new city map those interested are requested to meet with the mayor and board of aldermeu April 28, at 3 o’clcck. Those wishing j new streets opened or any change made i are requested to be present. Let our i citizens be on hand and discuss a matter of great importance with our city fathers. Rev. Joe. J. Jones returned from Penn | sylvan ia and Ohio last week where he ■ had been for several weeks preaching. He says he had a good time and his meet ings were successful. We have a private letter from Stoneboro, Pa., saying that at least 300 joined the churches of that town, the result of Mr Jones' labors. Mr. Jones also says tbeie is much inquiry at the north about this section. The sale of the East & West Railroad, of Alabama strengthens the corporation oontroling it and also strenethens the late principal owners, The Cherokee Iron | Company, so as to secure additional in ; vestment and improvement for the section. The finishing of the road, as a • 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 the morning service the pastor ordained. 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. Jones until the close of the great revival 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. Try Bridges <& Smith’s new Irish Pota toes. The first of the season. Crawford & Field have a few good mules they will sell on time. To Baptist Delegate* to Convention at A lbauy. All delegates in this section intending to go to the State convention at Albany, on Thursday before the 4th Sunday in April, will send at once to Rev. George R. McCall, at Griffin, Geo., for tickets at reduced rates. W. H. Cooper. Money to Loan. I am prepaired to -negotiate loans for farmers upon more reasonable terms than ever offered before. Douglas Wikle, Attorney-at-Law. Try Bridges & Smith’s new Bartlett rears, 25c. per can. BARTOW’S BULLETIN. OIK CORRESPOND SXTS NOTE THE INCIDENTS OF TIIEIK NEIOH UOODS. And DUli Them Up in Delectable Shape For Our Reader*. Cedar Creek. Not seeing anything from this section in some time, we thought it would be well enough to give your valuable paper a few items from this place this week. The wheat prospects .were never more promising than at present, and if nothing should happen to it the yield will be larger than it has been for years. We are pained to learn that Mrs. Pritchard has been quite sick for several days. Mr?. Bradley, of Fairmount, is visiting relatives and friends here this week. Col. J. M. Anderson continues to keep a fancy line of stap e merchandise. Bartow county has not a more honorable mer chant. Rev. P E. Hawkins preached a very able and instructive sermon at the Baptist church last Sunday. Mr. Mac Costephens, who has charge of a telegraph office on the Marietta and North Georgia li It., spent two days with relatives here this week. .Farmers are busily engaged at present ptanting corn and putting in the abomin able stuff known as guano. It has been some time since we had the pleasure of listening to swee er music than that rendered by the Cedir Creek choir last Sunday, though it could not' have been otherwise, when J. 11. Gaines leads a class. Miss Lem Lewis, of Sonora, presided at organ and gave valuable as sistance. Dr. J. B. Dudley, who has just returned from New York, honored us with his presence last Sunday. Ben is a bright young man and has a glorious future. Prof. G. W. Hendrick has again opened his school with a very good attendance. Prof. H. lias l>een teaching at this place for four years and has given better satis faction than any man since the war. Since the consolidation of the Courant and American, its praise can be heard on every side as being one of the liveliest and spiciest weeklies in Georgia. In this community they say: That she fainted when she met the operator. Ta ta. That they cast sly glances at each other but did not talk any. That Cedar Creek should have a picnic some time in May. That she looked unutterable love at him. as they resumed the walk. That there are thirteen weddings booked for November aod December next. That he wants Miss Leila to return to Cedar Creek. Ralph. I‘lne Log. The favorite flour of the season— Veacli’s Extra—for sale by our village merchants. Last Saturday was justice court day at our place, and business in that line was made quite lively by the Messrs. Johnson & Baker; but it seemed in the winding up that Mr Johnson had spelled past Baker. We understand the union meeting at Oak Hill church, on last Saturday and Sunday, was an enjoyable one; the social services were pleasant and the preaching excellent. Messrs. Carter & Vernon passed through the other day with their gleanings of but ter, eggs and chickens. • These energetic men are making frequent invasions into the mountains of Cherokee, Pickens and Murray counties; they have done much to circulate money aaid take up surplus in our section. Another explosion 1 Great excitement! Our county on a big mineral boom Mar ble in abundance, and of fine quality. 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, posses equally fine specimens. Mr. Bar ton tells us he has a fine quarry of slate of the various shades, and iron and man ganese abounds in unto'd quantities throughout this entire section of the country. Wliatmore does capitalists wish? If it is waterpower, Pine Log creek sup plies this demand. Kingston Doing*. The oyster supper at Cobb’s Hall on the night of the 29th March, netted the ladies about twenty-five dollars. It was a very pleasant party, but the night was cold and prevented many from coming. The proceeds will be appropriated to buying seats for the new school house. We are still having winter weather; old March holds the fort and will not surren der. I think most of the peach crop is killed. Mine is certainly cone. My friend, Wm, Arp, reports he has plenty; I hope he will give me an invitation to visit his orchard when peaches are ripe. I notice in town Mrs. Johnson visiting her daughter, Mrs. J. L. Elliott, and Mr. James Smith, of Virginia, visiting his cousin, Mr. J S. Harris. Mr. W. A. Gil am has employed Mr. J. C. Dunlop as clerk in his store. Mr. J. H. HarrD resigned on account of bad health. I am authorized to say that the annual picnic of the Conductor’s Brotherhood will be at the Spring bank, on the grounds ot the grounds of the Misses Howard, May 19th. The chairman of the committee wishes you to correct the statement in your paper week before last, which said the picnic would be at the “Sa tpetre cave.” Spring bank is on the VV. &A. R. R., a short distance nortli of Kingston. Special trains will be run that day and all will be put off on the spot. D. B. Irby is visiting friends at Carters ville. Dr. Waring, of Atlanta, who has been visiting his brother, Capt. G. H. Warring, at Cement, has returned home. The boomerang was in town a few days since and took options on several lots of mountain land, anJ if manganese is dis covered then the boom will appear. Rey. J. M. White preached at the Methodist church at 11 o’clock and Rev. Fletcher Gilreath at night. Jackie. Grassdale Item*. Rain, rain. When will a poor lazy far mer get his corn planted. Was getting along so nicely, expecting to get about done in one more day. No use in grumb ling, learn to be satisfied and therefore be happy. How easy it is to giye advice, but not so pleasant always to act according. Miss Georgia Gibbons has returned from Rome, where she had a very pleasant visit. Dr. Battle made a flying trip to RomeJ There was some work to be done at the 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- day evening and Sunday. He was out 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 ! meeting to receive it. This is treating us j ¥adly and not doing themselves justice. The new tax receiver is the happiest looking man I have seen for a long time. Crouton. — j Adairsville. Boom. This magic word is being heard ; and the magic effect is being felt. We have now a Land Improvement Company oiganized and with a paid in capital, and some real live men at the i helm. Wbat we want is reliable, solid and substantial improvement. The charming book agent is on the street. So sweetly does she talk. Col. Capers returned from Florida and Southwest Georgia on Saturday. He is much interested in railroad enterprises. The Adairsvilie Rifles have determined not to enter the competitive drill at Wash ington, D. C. Too much “nigger.” Mr. Henry Veach has gone to the bus iness college at Poughkeepsie, New York, where he will remain until all philosophy of commerce is mastered. Dr Felton preached at the Methodist church on Sunday, a sermon to suit fatal ism, freewill agents, Unitarians, deep water or a thimble full. There is talk of establishing a news paper here. Oar Methodist friends have been very success ul in their subscription to the new church. The figures are now count ed in fours, and if Brother Boyd has the same good fortune another week they will round up to such a sum as to guaran tee a very creditable church. Every “fellow,” as Sam Jones says, who comes to town now brings a ong his sample of rocks. Fifty-five tickets in the Louisiana lot tery drawing next week are held in Adairsville. Many of our farmers have planted corn. Some drink a little tor the stomach's sake. 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. The prayer-meeting continues to grow in interest. The ladies hold a prayer-meeting at this place every Wednesday evening at one o’clock. There is another wedding looked for one of our girls in the near future Hurrah for that, and ask us to the wedding, we would like ver}' much to have some wed ding cake, we wish them much success. We believe marrying to be a grand insti tution and hope it will be kept up We have some sad cases of affliction in our midst, and hope for a speedy recovery for each of them, for we miss them very much in our social gatherings. We will have a lecture by Rev. J. Ball on the 7tli inst., and hope for him a full house. Spring is coming in all its beauty, and we hope the young folks will come out properly and practice singing for the Sunday school, foy we are greatly in need of good singers, all could sing if they would try, and for the sake of religion everyone should sing. Singing next Sun day evening. The wheat is getting so it can be seen without having to hold it up between you 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 got as much notion ofmarrying now as he had then. I wonder what is the trouble? Bob Bail. I etter List. List of letters remaining in post office at Cartersville, Bartow County, Ga., March, 26,1887. Wm. Milner, P. M.
