—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Our mineral wealth is the source of
much inquiry just now in the north. We
are shown letters constantly from parties
that will soon visit us prospecting. Those
having mineral lands should put them
into the hands of some live real estate
man so that an early purchaser may be
found.
Col. R. H. Fields, and wife, of
Kansas City, Mo., are spending a few

! 20th, it is thought here, but no announce
ment further has been made. Rumors fly
thick and fast, but we decline dealing in
them, but will await till something posi
tive is known.
We learn that on account of failing
health Mr. Dave Curry has retired from
tbe firm of Curry, Jacobs & Cos., Atlanta,
and will return to Cartersville to reside.
He will take several months much needed
rest before he enters business again. He
brought his family up last night and will
occupy the Thomas place, just above Col.
Montgomery. Everybody wili lie glad to
welcome the return of this popular and
stirring business man and family.
It was reported that another attempt
was being made to organize a land syn
dicate the other day, on account of sev
eral people entering the depot building
from all sides. It was only the assemb
ling of the depot club, the event being
the initiation of anew member into the
fold. The cub is secret in its nature
and seems to be flourishing under the
care of “Chuck” Wofford. We have the
honor to be a member of this club hut our
membership came dear.
The Madison Madisonian Las this to
say of a well known young man reared
here: “On last Sunday, Rev. J. L. Moon
preached a most extraordinary sermon at
this place to the young men, from # the
text: ‘For as he tbinketh in his heart, so
is lie.’ We wili not attempt a synopsis of
his sermon, but suffice it to say that it
embraced a great deal of wholesome ad
vice to young men, and our only regret is
that every man in the county was not
present on this occasion. We sincerely
trust it will result in lasting good to those
who were present.”
The Methodist church was crowded
Sunday morning to hear an exce lent
Easter sermon from Rev. Mr. Timmons,
which was highly enjoyed. At n : ght
another large audience gathered to hear a
sermon from Rev. Joe Jones, which was
well delivered and full of good. Mr.
Jones has just returned from the north,
where he lias done much good in the
cause, bringing hundreds to the error of
their ways. There were no services at
the Baptist or Presbyterian churches, Mr.
Cooper being unwell and Mr. Ilillliouse
being absent, attending the Presbytery at
Ac worth.
We have 3een one of Mr. S. T. McCan
less’ hay presses, and wc want to make
a prediction right here. The advent of
this cheap plan of baling hay, shucks
and “roughness" will cause the small
farmers of the country to pay more at
tention to these crops and to stock, and
less to the raising of cotton. The dif
ficulty heretofore existed is the fact that
the small farmer was unable to purchase a
hay press that cost up into the hundreds,
and the hay in its loose condition con
sumes to much space for storage. Mr.
McCan less’ press is in the reach of all and
can be handled by two boys, its cost is
nearly nothing comparativly. He has
just sold a third interest in this invention
for S6,OGG,
The revival now in progress at the Bap
tist church is increasing in strength as it
progresses, and immense audiences are
had at every service. Not a sinner in the
community that has not bean invited,
often especiaßy requested to attend, and
much good is expected. Neat invitation
cards have been printed and handed
round for distribution and are the means
of bringing many to the services. 31 r
Cooper has improved considerably from
his sickness and wilf soon be wc ll enough
ts take his usuaf active part. Rev. Mr.
Thomason, the boy preacher of Alabama,
has been fiUing the putpit since 31onday
night, and his abfe and convincing ser
mons are the source of much complimen
tary criticism.
THE POOR FARM.
It Will illogt Likely Prove A Bonanza to
Old Bartow.
The mineral excitement that has ex
isted for several months past has develop
ed the fact that the good old county of
Bartow \i considerably better off than was
thought. Everybody knew that we had
unlimited mineral resources, but no one
ever dreamed that the county possessed in
her own right mineral property that wiß
command a handsome price. The old
pauper farm, often condemned, and the
source ol much bad criticism from every
grand jury that came along, has proved a
big bonanza. Grand jury after grand
jury recommended its immediate slp; the
county commissioners were instructed to
move in the matter instanter. The poor
old larm will now look considerably larger
iu the eyes of aU future grand juries, tor
it is proveii that it is rich in mineral
weißth. A manganese vein said to out
riviß the famous Chumbter Hiß mines, ex
ists on the property, and will probably
bring the county a very handsome sum.
The county commissioners after satisfying
themscßves as to the extent of the man
ganese, have raised the price of the farm
from $5,000 to SII,OOO, and it is thought
there wiß be no trouble in finding a pur
chaser at an eaify day.
THE STILESBOItO PICNIC.
As I’sunl the Seventeenth People Will
Come up Sniiliny; in Olay.
The regular annual Stilesboro picnics
are always enjoyed by the people of Bar
tow county, and they are always voted
grand successes. The people of Stilesboro
aud surrounding country are now
anxiously looking forward to Friday, the
sixth of next month, at which fame
the regular annual jollification will take
p ace. Everybody is invited to attend
and to bring the usual well tilled baskets.
It's the width aud breadth of the picnic
baskets that always make such affairs
successes.

STIRRING STEGALLS.
PITTING ON AIKS—LAID OUf IN

TIHL PARKS.
Rumors of Big Tiling* and ths Prime
Movers Sanguine.
Stegalls, three uiile3 below C irtersville
on the \V. k A. R. R., and located in
Bartow county, is beginning to take
on new life aud z *al in the spring time
tra, la, la.
Seriously, Stegall is well located for a
good sized manufacturing town and if it
doesn’t become such it will not be lie
cause Messrs. C. M. Jones and John P.
tegall will not have tried to make it so.
These gentlemen, owning the 1 inJs in
and around the depot have pooled their
interests aud under the civil engineering
of Capt. D. W. K. Peacock, a town,
with u spacious square, broad streets
has been laid out and transferred to pa
per. A plat will soon be printed, a sale
will be held in a few weeks, and every
inducement will be held out for perma
nent settlers.
A Goubant-Amebican representative
dropped in upon the embryo town a day
or so ago aud found Mr. John Stegall at
home, full of enthusiasm and ready to
point nut the attractions and advantages
in sigh*, aud he gave us some idea as to
the policy the projectors of the enter
prise will pursue. Ho informed us that
the Etowah company contemplate 1 ert ct
iug a 150 ton furnace in the town aud
would run their railroad from that point
into the mountains, instead of utilizing
the old road bed. He said the new
route would divide the vast minora
wealth of the company and he enter
tained no doubt that the company would
adopt this route.
The Atlanta gl-s-s works are now
lmuiiug away from Stegall’s depot fur
carloads of sand stone every week, the
freight on which is .$lO per car to At
lanta. Mr. Stegall says that he will
hold out such inducements to this com
pany as to bring them to his town. In
the matter alone of freights, lie says, it
will pay the company to move, besides
operations can be carried on much more
economical there than in Atlanta.
Already thousands of tons of iron and
manganese are loaded ou the cars at this
depot, which comes from the inexhaust
ible beds of Messrs. Joe Brown and C.
M. Jones near by. AVilhin a radius of
three miles, Mr. Stegall informed us,
that there wore all the minerals known
to mineralogy, and in paying quantities.
The new town has been well laid off
and there is a great many handsome
building sites that will be sold iu a few
weeks, notice of which will be published.
Gov. Brown lias promised an excursion
from Chattanooga aud Atlanta, and a
big time aud a big crowd is expected.
Messrs. Jones and S egall are lively
gentlemen, and any community would
be well off’ to have a few like them.
REMOVAL.
William Satterfield, Grocer,
Has removed to the old Exchange Hotel
above Bartow House. He will be glad
to see his old friends and assures them
that he has a full line of goods that he
will sell at the lowest marginal profits.

Kingston Budget,
AVe are rejoiced that spring is here,
everybody is busy, farmers planting and
the ladies gardening. The old distiller,
Jack Frost, has distilled all our fruit. I

The numerous and worthless dogs made
a raid on the cattle; run Ben Hutchins to
his house about midnight, he went out
with a sbovel and killed one dog and
beat them off after they had nearly killed
a tine yearling. Next morning the dogs
were found and three others were killed.
We need a dog law to thin them out.

AVe notice in town Airs. Thomas John
son, of Adairsville, visiting Airs. J. AI.
Anderson.
Adalraville.
The farmers are planting corn and cot
ton; to look at the fields is to look at
business. This is a “boom” in the right
direction. When you see a man running
after the plow handles you may be sure
he is after something more solid than
stock in a “Land and Improvement Cos.”
We are g’ad to say our fruit is not all
killed. Some left yet.
Easter services last Sunday were
splendid.
Rev. Mr. Johnson has gained the con
fidence of his congregation. When the

DON'ALLTN.
Hall’* Mill*.
The past week has been a very busy one
among the farmers.
J. T. Edwards, of Kingston, was in our
midst last Sunday.
Singing last Sunday eve, but Prof.
Gwinndid not meet his appointment, but
this is no drawback when we have such
professors as Kerr, AValdrup, Kitchens,
etc. It is true that they were a little
rusty from lying up through the winter,but
they did well for the first meeting, and
doubtless they would have done better if
they had not forgotten their tuning forks.
It was well known that last Thursday
evening was the t ime appointed tor Rev.
J. Ball, a quaker, to make a lecture at
this place. By seven o'clock the house
wa3 crowded with people from far and
near, as Jim AValdrup says, “All of the
old mossy-backs were out that doubtless
haven’t been to church iu five years.”
We hope they will come out again. I
suppose we are like all other people, some
liked him and others didn’t, and of course
I have my notions as we 1 as others, I
have about ss much faith iu him as I do
in these faith doctors that tramp around
through the country and take
down your name and fifty cents to tell
you that you will be well in a few months
and they will then call around and then
you can pay them what you feel able to
pay them, and you never see any more of
them. AVe have had several to perforin
on cases in onr neighborhood in the last
few years and they are still afflicted. AVe
think Brother Ball’s lecture would have
been very appropriate in the day* of
Noah, or a portion of it at least. One of
our citizens says he seemed to think that
we did not know that Christ had died and
risen again.
Air. T. Kitchens had a dog bitten by a
mad-dog about twelve months ago, but
never showed any effects of madness
until a few weeks ago, when he got a'ter
a yearling that had been accustomed to
coming up with his cattle for some time.
He got the yearling down and bit it con
siderably, he then ran off witli it for
several hundred yards biting aud snapping
it. They then knocked him off and
emptied a heavy load of shot in his head
and breast and leaving him for dead but
the next day Mr. Kitchens passed along
and saw that a little life still existed; he
then threw several very large rocks on
his head and thought it mashed it flat,
but the 9th day he came staggering to the
house. Bon Bail.
GrassUale Items.
Air. Robert Gibbons and son, Robert,
from Rockingham county, Va., are on a
yisit to Air. Geo. Gibbons’ family. Mr. R.
Gibbons, Sr, is one of the \ r alley’s best
farmers,and owns the Gibbons homestead,
situated immediately on the Shenendoah
river, with several hundred acres of very
beautiful and productive land. Young
Robert is looking around, contemplating
going into business in this state, perhaps
at Rome.
Aliss Nellie Omberg came home from
school on Friday evening with Aliss May
Hattie, and spent until Alonday morning
with her folks.
Alurry Hawkins spent Sunday at home.
Dr. Felton preached the funeral sermon
of Mr. Effert Gaines on Sunday, at Best’s
chapel. His text was from the latter
clause of the fourth verse and eleventh
chapter of Hebrews, “He being dead, yet
speaketh.” He took the ground that the
life and deeds of a good man lived for
ever, and that God would not reward him
fully until after the world ceased to be,
for it would be only that the amount of
good he had done could be known. He
therefore counseled all to be yery guarded
in their outer lives, no matter what their
belief might be, for one little act might
wreck the life of some one. It has been
a long time since there has been such a
congregation at Best’s. The house coulJ
not hold them, although all the available
space was filled with chairs. lam sorry
to say there were a few outside that kept
up too much talking. They ought to
have more respect tor the surroundings,
and go a little further off if they were
obliged to talk. This was a very uncom
mon occurrence, for it would be hard to
find a country church with a better be
haved congregation.
Our prayer meeting met at Mrs. AVeems’,
with a very good attendance. Had Bro
White with us, who gave us a most
splendid talk. AVe are ahvays profited
by his talks, and try to have him with us
every second Sunday night.
J. C. Herring is making some improvi*
ments on his residence, about all his wife

tivating. Mr. Harry Fenwick, as “Dolby”

the good impression ne had made on the
