The Jones Manufacturing Company shipped an elegant phaeton to Eatonton the other day. Every few days shipment are made to all sections of the south. We are informed by a citizen of this place, who was in Chattanooga a few days ago, that Mark Ilorrison was a leader in Salvation army in that city.

A young man, probably from the rural “(leestricts” of Haralson, struck town Monday. As an ornament he had an antiquated chestnut be 1 tacked to his Vest. From the very bottom of our heart we felt sorry for that fellow. Mr. S. W. Wilkes, a young man well known in this community, who has for several years tilled most acceptably the position of car accountant for the Georgia railroad, was married to an Atlanta lady Monday and passed up the W. & A. road that afternoon.

Dick Hargis had the boys in charge and everybody seemed to be happy and having a great time. As for us we arc more than ever con vinced that Mr. Webster was a very great man, we mean the Webster of dictionary fame. His definition of the word “boom” is correct, a fact that any one can tell just now. “An empty barrel” must have went olf this time sure. At least it sounds that way to a man up a tree. 1 here is not a more thorough pharma cist in the country than Mr. William Mil ler, who has lately taken charge of the prescription department of J. It. Wixle A Cos. Mr. Miller is well known here and has hundreds of friends who will be glad to learn of his return. What he does not know about drugs is not worth trying to learn. Yesterday was the day assigned for the change ofownership of the East and West rißroad, and Cross Plains was the place where the transfer was to bo made. It did not come off, however, as the matter was postponed until next Wednesday, the 26th. The necessary papers could not be prepared in time and tbit is the reason assigned. When Mr. Turner, of Turner & Baker, hoard of the contemplated whitewashing of the ice house on the depot platform, he made haste to close up a trade on a corner lot, for fear the figures might go up. No use, lor the owner of the lot had heard the news and declared the property off the market, and thus Mr. Turner lost his lot. Augusta News: “Mrs. Chas. K.

The letter is said to reler to matters of importance to Mrs. Henderson or her heirs. Any one acquainted with her address or that of her family will confer a favor by com municating. In view of the fact that Mr. Vandivere has sold out his furnature, store it is necessary for those owing him to come forward and square up' their accounts. He has been indulgent nud hopes that this indulgence will be appreciated. Walk up gentlemen, and settle, for this will look lots better than a constable walking up to you and persuadiug you to do so. Sanford wants his money and he should have it. A few years ago our city fathers in nugurated a general tree planting, and hundreds of water oaks were set out along our thoroughfares.

The work of setting out the trees has been kept up from year to year, and lour hun dred w6re planted last season. The Bank block will be a scene of ac tivity next Wednesday and the three days following. Miss Shockley will have her spring opening then. 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# when you want something nice, and then there’s something else —they are just as good as they are nice. .T O M Mhmtiiombhi IS THKRK A CSB? 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. *%% ■ Delegates to tlie State Sunday V'fceol Convention.

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 ley * spiing opening next Wednesday. It continues for four days. Our *uiuuir fill ors.
