Puckett and a m-ice of Mr. L. B. Matthews, is visiting relatives here. Our mineral men are resting uneasy under the new railroad law, and it may be the means of somewhat demoralizing that iudustery for a while at least. Town loafers are growling over dull limes, the farmers are hard at work pre paring for another crop whiie everybody is on the lookout for a stray boom. Col. W. B. Jones, fertilizer inspector, passed through here yesterday. He is winding, up lor this season HRking final Inspections. Messrs. Aubrey & Murpliey, the live real estate dealers, have sold the Rev.

Grey, of the Chattanooga Saw Works, is stopping at the St. James, and is offering special inducements to parties wanting any kind of Engines, Mills or Machine supplies. Soon the sonorous yell of “Ice cream, lemonade on top" will wade out onto placid breeze, and then Pomp Johnson will rake in “de cash” and snap his finger at grim want. Mrs. Cora M. Gray, after a pleasant visit to friends and relatives here, re lumed to Adairsville yesterday after noon, where she is residiug with her father-in-law, Col. Gray. An lowan struck town Tuesday, and took a turn around the suburbs behind one of Crawford A Fields handsome teams, lie was simply taking a birds eye view, and will be back in a few days to prospect. The parlor rities are playing havoc with the pesky little rascals, the English spar rows. Some careless shooting, however, inis been reported, and probably anew city ordinance will be brought to hoar on the use of the silent weapon. The first picnic of the season came off fist week Four or five couples went out to Rowland Springs and spent the day. “Fritz” Strick/and was on hand and. dis pensed his cleverness and smiles befitting the occasiou. For the eleven hundredth time we urine to remark that some people will persist in demanding extortionate prices tor their property no good will ever come >f our section. High-priced property is bound to scare off would be investors. Rev. Sam Jones returned from (Cincinnati Tuesday, ami will take a few days rest. His health is splendid and his meetings were very successful. No one is more beloyed in Cincinnati than our distinguished evangelist. On the other side of the river near the Douthitt bridge there are thousands of yellow ochre. Mr. Silva has hands now drying and sacking it for shipment to New York.

Wiklc went over to A.uniatou on Tuesday to be present it a banquet tendered to Hon. W. D. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, at the Inn, that night, and also to invite the distinguished gentleman to make Cartersville a visit before his return to the North. A good dog law is badly needed in Cartersville, and we hope to see bur city council take prompt action. Hydropho bia is ou the increase and there are too many lives put in jeopardy on account of worthless curs. Who will put the ball in motion * Captain Postell was at Broken Arrow Monday looking after the extension of the Past and West. The boys on the road are talking about tendering him a reception on the event of his taking charge. He is a good man and it is no wonder that he is to popular with the railroad boys. ('apt. M. L. Pritchett has returned from an extensive tour through Texas, and aays thnt the reports of the great drouth throughout that State are uot overdrawn, and are really worse than reported. He says one could hardly imagine the amount of distress. A startling rumor flashed over town yesterday to the effect that a trio of our citizens ‘had drawn $15,000 in the Louisi ana lottery. It proved a joke, but strange to say, some people thought a boom had surely come, and ran their property up a few points. No telling what will happen when the nsxt horse rack goes up. His numerous friends and admirers will be glad to learn that Rev. Sam Small has so far recovered from his serious illness as to preach in Atlanta Monday night. Mr. Maxwell, the sweet singer, passed down Monday to be with Mr. Small. He will return by this way and will Stop over. He lias many friends here who will 1 e h ppy to see him. The following merited compliment comes from the Baltimore Manufacturer’s Record: “D. W . lv. Peacock,of Carlers ville, Ga., is a real estate agent and makes mineral property a specia ty. He is, we understand, thoroughly posted as to the mineral resources and properties in his section, and can give full information to any desiring to invest in that region.” Ten minutes after the doors of Mao ru ler's Theater were opened yesterday after noon the bouse was packed with, an audience to hear Rev. Bam Jones. The evangelist delivered a characteristic dis course, after which a collection was taken for the benefit of Holcombe Mission, and between $2,100 and $2,500 was subscribed. —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 ays with the mother of the former on Krwiu Street. Mr. Fields is on his way home from Florida, where he has been for his health. Mr. Fields holds a prominent rank at the bar of Kansas < ity, and ha recently realized a hand some fortune on some of his real estate investments. Three new engines have been bought for the East and West. The work of ex tension is goiDg on as rapidly as possible, though a dearth of hands is reported. They are hard to get even at $1.25 per day. Capt. Hostel i will take charge on the ! 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. + 1 etter List.

STIRRING STEGALLS. PITTING ON AIKS—LAID OUf IN ÜBO.U) AVENUES AND BEAU 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. BARTOW’S BULLETIN. OUK COI!KKSPONI)BNT9 note the INCIDENTS OF THEIR NEIUH -11001)3. And Dish Them Up in Delectable Shape For Our Readers. 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 hope we will have blackberries. April 7th, at 7 p. m., Mr. C. A. F. AVare •and Miss Mary Peal were married at the residence of the bride’s brother, Mr. E. S. Peal, Rev. J. M. White officiating.

The school is in a prosperous condition. Prof. Tuggle is giving general satisfaction and is building up a first class school. 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. Miss Nelly Howard is visiting friend* at Big Shanty. Mr. John H. Harris, who has been ill for some time, is much better. His num erous friends are rejoiced at the prospect of his recovery.

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 Methodist get their new church here they will be on rising ground, and we think the church will be bui t this summer. The Baptists wi'l plaster their church this week and then it will be ready to dedicate; that will be done about June. Mrs. J. M. Reems is visiting in Gordon county. Mrs. Gltzener, ot Greenville, S. C., visited. R. D. Combs last week. Miss Lillie Woodburry has gone to Folsom to take charge of a music class. We congratulate the people of Cedar creek on securing as efficient a teacher as Miss Woodbury is. Mi'S Joe Gray is at home again after spending some time in the country teach ing school. Mr. Penn, of Tennessee, will open & new store here soon. Mrs. J. H. Word and family visited her father, Mr. Sam Burns, last week, at Fol som. Look out! Street tax $3. Our city fathers must be going to pave the streets or build new water works. We mav liave a fish or snake story for next week. Our young people tried their hand at the creek last Saturday, but the story hac not been told yet. Ca.-s Station. Mr. DeWitt Carter, of Orlando,Fit., is visiting his brother, Air. Samuel P. Carter, who is quite sics. Mrs. R. R. Hargis visited relatives in Chattanooga last week. lbv. J. AI. AViiite was in town Alonday. Mrs. Stratton, of Nashville, Tenn., is visiting her sister, Mrs. S.

John Allen and Walton Gar l rett, of Tennessee, visited the family of Mr. S. P Carter last week. Prof. Gilreath will hold a singing at ! AVoffbrd’s Academy next Sunday, the 17th. Oliver Buford was in town Sunday. 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 does is to sit on the stile at the front gate and look at the house. It is to be liopid, for the welfare and comfort of die family, that she will soon get accustomed to the change and move in. Cbofton. Pine Tog. Everything seems distressingly quiet A little mineral talk is about all we hear now, except the ordinary compliments among the enterprising farmers. AVhooping cough, mumps and measles are spreading over the country. They have not yet invaded our immediate com munity, Spring seems to have fairly opened up. Tax Collector Linn was with us the other day. Our Sabbath school are about purchas ing a good organ. Let eyeryone come to the convention the first Sunday in May. It begins on Saturday before. Prof. Showalter will be on hand. Mrs. AlcCanless, of AValesca, is very il. She is now very old, Her daughter, Airs. Franks, went up several days ago. Air. A.C Shelton and family went to-day. Airs. AlcCanless has many friends in this section, who are sorry to bear of her ill ness. Atlttirflville Hippie*. Lovely weather. Banks of the Ootbcaloga beautiful in tbeir spriug dress of wild flowers. Our old folks turned out Monday aud had au old-fashioned game of towu ball, which was enjoyed by them aud the lookers ou immeusely. Recognizing Arbor Day, as fixed by the proclamation of the governor, our town authorities had a great many trees set out last November. The maples are living, but of all the elms aud oaks, the ouly three alive and budding beautiful ly, are the three planted by a detail of the ‘‘old guard,” from the Adairsville Rifles, aud named for Miss Winnie Davis, Miss Fanny Gordon and Miss Sail Brown. They promise to become beautiful trees. It is said that Col. Capers has goue to see his pets every day since they were planted. Avery extensive bed of manganese has been discovered in llio suburbs of Adairsville. We b ave had several gentlemen vis j Ring ns from Ohatranoiga, Rome, Rir ■ mingham ami Pittsburg, looking after the iron and mineral deposits of this section. Our people are much pleased with the Rev. Mr. Johnson, the Methodist miuis j ter. He is not oue of the ideal creatures i of transcendental philosophy but lives ! and moves and thinks and talks as if he | was ou the earth. Our farmers are beginning to plant i cotton. It is about time that Bartow Leak should present his attractive top-knot to the insurance people of our town. Lawyers Baker and Neel, of Carters ville, Branson, of Kingston, Hood, of Kuoxville, and Herman, of New York, have paid our village their respects du ring the past week. Good lawyers are clever fellows, and we like to have them about. Our “boom” is taking ou a very solid and reliable expression. It is the opin ion of good judges that the day is not far off when Adairsville will be a town of which Bartow couuty may well be proud. Mrs. G. M. Boyd and family are at the Salt Springs. The Florida party is expected to re turn next week. Work has commenced on the new hotel. Dell Knott’s Company. The Dell Knott Combination closed their engagement here Wednesday even ing by presenting the drama oi Joshua Whitcomb. Mr. Dell Knott, as Uncle Josh, made a decided hit, and we believe he deserved it, for nis conception of the character was new and original “Begosh.” Miss Clara Knott, as “Little Tot” was cap tivating. Mr. Harry Fenwick, as “Dolby” the English dude, succeeded in snstaining the good impression ne had made on the previous evening. We perdict a bright future for Harry. Miss Lyda Knott makes a tine appearance. Aunt Tildy and Old Si Prime in the hands of Miss Mamie Midgley and Mr. Ilerrell, pleased the audience. The members of the company acquit ted themselves creditably. They will put in time playing in small towns for two weeks and then open their regular summer season iu Birmingham, Ala. Mr. Frank Laßcehe is a good manager and can congratulate himself ou having a company of ladies and gentlemen without an exception. During their stay iu Kuoxville they have made many warm friends, and depart with the best wishes of all for their future success.— Kuoxvilie Sunday Topic, April 10th.
