FROM PULPIT TO JAIL
“PREACHER” HEHRT WRIGHT OVER
HAULED A.ND TAKEN TO CHERO
KEE.
11a Wat Found Reading five Stlralita
Ai ujjt Hosts in < liuttuuuugM.
Col. J. J. A. Sharpe, of Waleica, Chero
kee county, woke up one fine morniDg
ab jut a month ago and found that his
horse had been stolen from the stable the
nigld, before. Together with neighbors
he began to scour the country, and for
several days no tidings could be heard
from the horse or its unlawful owner.
The hunters had about given up the
search when a Mr. Poole, living on the
Pine Log read, stated that a man had
called at Ins house early in the morning
after the horse was missing, and called for
breakfast. A Mr. Vaughan was at Mr.
Poole’s, recognized the man as nenry
Wright, and as*ed him if that was not
hia name. The man made no reply, and
without waiting for breakfast hastily left
the place. This was communicated to Col.
Sharpe, and the trail being taken up at
Poole’s the man and horse were traced
to Mr Hall s near Plainville, in Gordon
county, where the horse was sold to that
gentleman for |2O. The man proved to
be Henry Wright, and he here made no
disguise of that fact. Henry, after a
hearty supper, for which he thanked the
Lord in his blessing preceding its demo
lition, sat around and gave his experience.
Before retiring he led In family prayer, so
we have been informed.
After some trouble Col. Sharpe secured
his horse and returned to his home and
awaited developments, thinking probably
he wonld soon hear of the festive Henry.
He was quiet, in fact, it was on this line
he worked.
Last week the Courant-American
published a letter purporting coming from
oneS. L. Maguire, along with the state
ment that Henry Wright was in Chatta
nooga, which was read by sheriff Kitchen,
ofCheiokee, who immediately indited a
Utter to the Chattanooga officers. An
accurate description followed in which
specifications were made that Wright
had red hair, wore a blue suit and odd
as it may seem lmd eyes of different color
by which peculiarity he might b# identi
fied at once.
Chief Allen went to the meeting of the
Salvation Army that night and learned
that his man was in the city and was the
Army preacher for the Fifth ward, where
he held the throngs spell bound with his
religious oratory, the dire calamities pre
dicted for drunkards, horse thieves and
other sinners. Wright had preceded Mr
Allen at the Army meeting Saturday
night about ten minutes, and liad gone,
no one knew where Henry was evi
dently suffering from too much liquor
when became to the meeting, and Will
Burk, the doorkeeper, who is also an
officer of the law, advised him to go home
and rest from the effects of stomach
bitters, which Wright said he had been
taking. Chief Allen autgorized Burk to
arrest Wright. Burk skirmished the
city for two days without success, as it
was found Wright took care to leave
each boarding house alter taking one
meal, but he saw him Tuesday forenoon
about 11 o’clock near the Chattanooga
furnace, and at once made the arrest.
Wright was at once turnsd over to chief
Allen, who put him in the county jail,
and telegraphed at once te sheriff Kitchen
to coma and get his prisoner. Wright
admitted having sold a horse but said afel
low’ preacher Maguire whom he met by the
road side gave him the animal and told
him to sell it. lie did dispose of it for
S2O; but fails to account for the money.
Henry has not b*en a great success in
the army ranks, ae his example to the
drunkards and tkieves is not consistent
with his eloquent advice. Perhaps h#
will make a better religious workman in
a Georgia conyict camp, where stomach
bitters and horse fUsh do not intrude
themselves to tempt the good from the
path of rectitade.
Henry passed through here yesterday
morning in charge of Sheriff Kitchen on
his way to Canton jail, where he will be
held for trial. He was not seen by any
one here, no word being given that he
was to pass. Ilis wife will leave this
morning to visit him.
It having been published that Henry
w.is a regular ordained preacher we feel it
our duty to state the facts in the matter.
He did apply to our Methodist church
here for a license which was refused,
mainly upon the exertion of Mr, John
Akin, who was opposed to such action by
his church. He was not eyen given per
mission to exhort, but on his own hook
he began leading prayer meetings in the
country and preached several times to
rural congregations. It was thought that
the man had been converted from his
former life of dissipation and an encour
aging hand was given him. He did very
well for two years or more and many
thought nis conversion was permanent.
Ugly tales are told of Henry’s life before
he began to be religious. It is told that
he led a blind man into a large mudhole
on the outskirts of the town and took his
accordeon away from him. Drunkenness
was the cause assigned by Henry for this
action but he never did straighten up a
little matter about a wash pot now being
used by a family in the upper part ot
the county. When under the influence
of whisky it i3 said that he could not re
sist the temptation to steal.
Spring Opening.
Miss Leo Shockley will be glad to see
her old and new customers at the opening
of her superb spring stock, commencing
next Wednesday and continuing the bal
ance of the week.
Ladies don’t forget Padan Bros. Shoe#

The Knmtroui DUiippearmicev of Horace
in amt Around Cartersville.
In the last three week* on* mule and
two horses have been stolen from their
stables in the corporate limit* of Cartera
ville. These stealings are getting *o com
mon and so bold that our stockmen have
doubled the strength of their stable doors
and their locks, and are more careful as to
the safe putting away of their stock.
About two weeks ago Ben Akerman had
a Texas pony stolen from him, and up to
date has never beard anythin* from i\
and last Monday night a light iron gray
pony was stolen. This In >rse w*s branded
indistinctly on the left shoulder, (hree or
four years old and about 1-H hands high.
A colored wagoner, living a few yards
from the public square, had hi* mule
stolen several days ago and has not suc
ceeded in getting it back.
Most likely there is a gang of horse
thieves around that have their eyes upon
horses in this community and it will pay
all to be careful and keep on the lookout.
The stealings are getting entirely too nu
merous and daring and should be stop
ped.
LATER.
Just before going to press a telegram
was received from Beu Akerman from
Atlanta, stating that Mr. George Head
deu’s horse, which was stolen Monday
night, bad been caught as also was the
thief. It is thought that this thief is
the same that stole Ben’s horse.

SPRING STYLES.
THAT IS WHAT THE LADIES ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT JI'ST NOW,
Mins Padgette, a Usual, Coma Forword
With all the Very Latest.
This is the season the ladies of every
community set their wits to work to
make themselves more beautiful, and the
milliner always comes in for a liberal
share of the work in bringing about such
a result. The ladies of Cartersvilic and
Bartow County, as well as those of sur
rounding counties can well congratulate
themselves upon hauling one whose efforts
are always so satisfactory in c&teriDg to
their wants as Miss Padgette. This lady
is always on hand at every season with
the newest, freshest and lest goods that
can be found. She studies to please her
customers, ami they are legion, and it is
no wonder, for when she gets a customer
it is & permanent one.
This spring Miss Padgette, as usual, is
on hand with. an elegant spring and
summer stock, and she takes this mode
of informing her friends over this section
of the fact, All the newest styles in straw
hats and new shades of trimmings are
here in elegant profusion at fairest prices.
No efforts are spared to give satisfaction,
and to look upon the sparkling beauties
is but to buy
Miss. Padgette keeps up with the times,
and competes with Atlanta or any other
market. This is easy to do, but it is not
every one that does it.
The cost of carrying on business here is
not near so great as in larger cities, and it
is for this reason that Miss Paddette un
dersells the ciy merchants.
Ladies of Bartow, do not delay in going
and selecting your spring hat before the
elegant assortment is picked over. They
are going with a rush and one will have
to be in a hurry. The beauty of the
goods once displayed always gets a cus
tomer.
CITIZENS’ MEETING.
There will be a meeting of the business
men and citizms generally of Cartersville
at the court house on to morrow (Friday)
night to look to the appointment of a com
mittee to appear before the Inter State
Commission, which assembles in Atlanta
ou the 2Gth inst., to present to said com
mission our grievances on matters per
taining to Cartersville. Every business
man in town is urged to be present.
Next Wednesday Miss Leo Shockly
will have her spring opening to continue
four days. Go and see the beautiful
goods, ladies.
Tli ‘‘Courant-Ainerlcan” Would Like to
Know.
Why Bill Wikle persists in refusing to
tell his age.
What arrangements are being made
for the decoration of the soldiers’ grave#
at Cassville.
What the Etowah lrou and Manga
nese Company propose to do, and how
soon. In fact there are lots of people
that would like to know that.
Why our people doesn’t hustle around
our laud and improvement company and
get up a genuine home-made boom.
Why Dook Cuuyus blushes 90 deep
when a certain girl’s name is mentioned.
Probably the girl can tell us.
How some merchants propose to do a
great amount of business when they
never advertise. We already know that
they do not do much business.
Idle capital is allowed to remain
mouldering in the northern vualts, when
its investment here can be gotten sim
ply for the asking.
What’s the reason Dave Curry can’t
whoop it up oa the jobbing line, and
•iijoy even a more extended trade than
heretofore. This will answer itself in a
short while.
What our city fathers and business
men pioprose to do as to the of meeting
of the inter state commerce commission
that will be iu Atlanta next week. Will
they allow the benefits of the new laid
be taken from them just because a few
railroad magnates and big towns desire
it. The law is intended to place the
smaller towns on an equal footing with
the cities and, we again ask will our peo
ple allow that benefit be taken from
them? We can apply the same question
to our Kingston, Adairsville, Marietta
and Acworth friends.
Wliat would old Cartersville do iu
case of fire. We shudder to think.
Why Warren Akin is not so enthusi
astic in Sunday school matters as he is
wont.
New goods, genuine beauties, Miss
Shockley. IK member the opening next
Wednesday lad es.
Thk Savannah Morning News, iu its
bright new spring dress, looks more
like a real metropolitan daily than any
of our southern papers. It is real lovely,
•nd only goes to prove what a thorough
uewspaper man is at the helm. Col.
Estill can well go out into the backyard
and extend congratulations to himself.
Hark to Cartersville.
There was much gratification among
our people lam week when it was learned
that Mr. David W. Curry had decided
to return to Cartersvillo. It will be re
membered that Mr. Curry left here a
faw months ago and engage 1 in business
in Atlanta, becoming the senior partner
in Curry, Jacobs Sc Cos., of that city.
Hi* health become so bad that it waa
impossible to remain and upon advice of
physicians and friends lie withdrew and
will take a long needed rest. Mr. Curry
has for the past twelve yours been very
energetic and untiring in bis efforts iu
building up a fine business. He has
worked bard, until nature asserts her
right* and demands a rest. He will
spend the next few mouths iu rest but
will carry on bis jobbing business, n
business that will not require all his
time and attention, and has opened up iu
the Moon store room on the east side.
Messrs. Walter Headdeu and Wad*
Johnson will be found there and with
this trio at the halm is enough guarantee
that everything will run as usual in a
regular business manner. Mr. Curry
and bis family have been warmly wef-
the whole people, who feel
that they are of them and belong here.
They will occupy the Foster place oppo
site John Stover’s the preaeut year.
The ladies of Cartersville and sur
rounding country will be at Miss Shock
