damage was done on the place, but of a
trivial nature. The storm prevailed for
quite a while and the electric display was
grand. What was grander though,it set
many a hard sinner to praying.

Holiness Convention.
The committee appointed by the pas

homes for the delegates to the Holiness
convention which assembles here on the

The Etowah Iron and Mani<faiH se,Com

Work in Earnest.
A 150 TON FI KN ACK TO HE ERECTED
IN THE CORPORATE LIMITS.
A Punitive Agreement to that KfTect Sign
ed up and Healed.
At last the great Etowah projterty is
to materialize into something for the
benefit of our town and county. When
the property was sold to the present syn
dicate last January old Curtersville be
gan to look up and has lieen looking up
every since. City projierty arose in value
to something like good prices and our
town begun laying claim to a boom.
Our people, however, became restless
over the seeming let hargy of the com
pany and declared that the property was |
bought for only speculative purposes.
The company has been quietly at work,
their engim e:s have located the vast min
eral deposits, which to a great extent were
ojiened up and brought to .view. Their
movements were cautious and mum
seemed to be the watchword with the
whole party. The vast outlay of money
was sufficient to cause them to l*e care
ful and using the most discretion in tls*
management of such a gigantic affair.
The prajH-rtycomprises 17,000 acres of
tin* very l*est mineral land in this section,
and is traversed by the finest water
power in the world. Why this immense
and valuable projierty has been allowed
to remain idle so long is a mystery. All
along the Con hant-A me: iuca n has been
on the (jui tire for developments, and
only now has the policy of inactivity on
the part of the Etowah Company been
explained, it seems that a few Carters
ville gentlemen, acting for themselves
and hacked by outside parties, have se
cured more than a thousand acres of
land in one body, lying in and just out
side the city limits, and with this prop
erty have been enabled to consummate a
bargain with the Etowah Iron and Man
ganese Company, by which Cartersville
becomes assured of their furnaces at an
early date. The terms of the agreement
could not be learned but this much is
certain, that it is the policy of both the
iron and land companies to greatly en
hance the values of land in which they
are interested. All the railroad fronts
are reserved for donations to enterprises
of any and all manufacturing character
and the adjacent: lands are to be utilized
as occasion may demand.
Now that the plans of the two com
panies have been unfolded, everything is
plain enough. The land company have
Hct apart 50 acres of the laud, just in the
suburbs of town, upon which is to be
located the furnaces of the Etowah Iron
and Manganese Company, and upon
which is to be concentrated every imlus
ter.v of said company. This site selected
for these works is most eligibly situated
along the line of the W. &A. R. It. They
propose to run railroad tracks and tram
ways from its furnaces and rolling mills
through its mineral properties, which is
near and convenient and most accessible
to reach. The work on the furnaces, we
understand, is to begin just as soon as
all the details can be completed. The
gentlemen at the head of the land com
pany have entered into most satis
factory arrangements with the Etowah
company, one that will not only result in
much mutual good and profit to both
companies, but assure the growth and
future of Cartersville.
The gentlemen who have engineered
and organized this scheme that must add
so much to Cartersville’s prosperity de
serves great credit for their untiring
e forts, oiten without the sympathy of
some of our citizens who should be
warmest and most libeiul in their sup
port. But they have now made the way
plain and clear: and every enterprise they
may now undertake, or, that may here
after be established in our midst, will re
ceive the united and heartv encourage
ment of our people. Harmony and
unity of action upon the part of all of
our citizens, and an unstinted and liberal
aid from them will make sure any enter
prise that may be inaugurated.
The Etowah company is to take large
stock in the land company and are to
use every effort to advance the value of
the land of the company. The Etowah
company will bring water for the new
city and the iron works from Stamp
Creek, which every one knows to be pure
freestone water.
The lands of the company lie in the
southern portion of town, and make a
most beautiful tract upon which to build
a city. Indeed, we do not believe that
there could be found a more lovely body
of land in the country. Besides tiie fifty
acres upon which the furnaces are to be
located, the company have set apart some
two hundred acres, all railroad fronts, to
lie donated to any manufacturing enter
prise that may desire to take advantage
of our wonderful resources. The com
pany propose soon to grade streets, lay
out lots and otherwise improve their
lands before putting any of it upon the
market. We might just here mention
several other enterprises that are on foot,
and are assured successes, that will add
population and wealth to our town, but
space forbids.
One commendable feature about the
enterprise is that its promoters have
carefully guarded against, and will con
tinue to guard against, anything like
land gambling and fictitious prices. They
have endeavored to place everything
upon a safe and sure basis, where stock
holders and investors will run no risk of
loss, but will have every chance for profit .
We again appeal to our people to give
the promoters of this enterprise a united
and hearty support, for they have ac
complished much for our town, and we
owe them a debt of gratitude.
With a harmonious action upon the
part of every mau in Cartersville, her
boom can be accepted as permanent.
HE WILL OPERATE.
Mr. t_'lu*rles Il:islett, of Pennsylvania,
Leases Manganese Mine.
Messrs. Aaron Collins and James
Stepheus, whose rich manganese bunk
near the county pauper plantation we
gave an account ot some few weeks ago,
closed a trade with Air. lilias, Haslett, of
Pennsylvania, last Saturday, by which
he has a lease of the mine for five years,
he paying royalty on every ton of ora
raised and a monthly rental while the
mine is idle.
Mr. Haslett is representing a large
company of unlimited means, who need
the ora for their large mills in Pennsyl
vania. Operations will commence inside
often days, we are informed by Air. Has
lett, and arrangements will be made to
put a large force at work, sufficient to
work the mine to its fullest capacity.
Machinery, engines and washers will be
put in to secure the quick handling of the
ore in all kinds of weather. The prop
erty will be worked quite different from
the mines in this section and in the most
improved order.
Air. Haslett also informed us that he is
much pleasee with our county and people
and says that ours is good enough coun
ty for him. At no distant day northern
capitalists will begin to flow into our
county, for we have the mineral wealth to
attract it he, assured us.

THE MYSTERY SOLVED.
JOHN HENDEKSoN. A SYSTEMATIC
HORSE THIEF BEHIND THE
BARS.
The l>is|>|rice of Wny Hor*e
Ei|tl*inrd at l.ut.
The mystery of so many disappear
ances of horses in and around Carters
ville luts at lust lieen cleared up. In the
clearing up of the mystery Bartow coun
ty becomes the possessor of one of the
shrewdest thieves on record. John Hen
derson is his name and claims Augusta
as bis home. He is an intelligent look
ing, well made darkey and the outlines
of his fiwe show Indian parentage. Edu
cated to some extent he is a fluent taker,
and is far above the average of his race.
When Tut; Coukaxt-Ameuh an went to
press last week it noted the stealing of a
gray pony from Mr. Ben Akerman and a
sorrell horse from Mr. George Headden,
of Cassvilie. The horses were stolen
Monday night of last week, the following
morning Mr. Akerman had some postal
cards printed, one of which fell into the
hands of a gentleman at Big Shanty at
noon, 'i'llin gentleman telegraphed Mr.
Akerman that his horse with others had
passed that vicinity that morning, going
towards Atlanta. Messrs. Akerman and
Headden set out immediately, and when
they arrived at Big Shanty were given a
description of the darkey having the
stock iu charge. They pushed on to At
lanta, arriving there early dawn Wednes
day morning, and going to a stable to
put up their tired horses encountered
Patrolmen Cason and Hadley, to whom
they made known their loss, describing
at the same time the horses.
On Tuesday noon when Patrolmen
( ason and Hadley went off duty and
started home, they met a negro on Mari
etta street riding a horse and leading a
pony. The outfit suited the description
given by the Cartersville gentlemen. Be
lieving that they had a clew to the thief,
the pat rolmen called at police headquui
ters and reported the case to Captain
Grim, their commanding oficer. The
captain brought it to the attention of
the chief of police, by whom he was in
structed to investigate. Taking with
him the two patrolmen who had seen the
negro and horses the captain liegan
searching the wagon yards. On Peters
street he heard of a negro trying to sell
a gray pony and finally found the pony
in the possesion of a Mrs. Jones, residing
on Haynes street, near Peters, who had
purchased it from a negro for S2O. The
pony was identified by Mr. Akerman
as the one stolen from him, and the negro
from whom Mrs. Jones bought answered
the description given by persons along
the road who had seen tin* negro and
horses. The pony was turned over to
the officers and placed in a livery stable.
They then began searching for Mr. Head
dens horse, and found him in Mosses's
livery stable, on Ivy street. Mr. Moses
had trgded two ponies for the horse,
receiving fifteen dollars in* the trade.
Later the officers came upon a negro
trying to sell a pony. The pony was one
Mr. Moses had sold and the negro was
arrested and conducted to the city prison
where he gave his name as John Hender
son. After finding the two ponies Cap
tain Crim returned them to Mr. Moses,
getting in return the horse and fifteen
dollars.
Henderson was brought to this place
and placed in jail, and Saturday morn
ing was given a hearing before Judge
Neel, who, after hearing the testimony,
required a bond of $250, which he failed
to give. The prisoner had SOO in bank
at Augusta, and some money on his per
son when arrested. His plan was to steal
a sorry looking animal, one that he could
dispose of easily for a low price and not
create any suspicion. He would not
have a fine horse for he knew when it was
offered at a low price suspicion would at
once be aroused and trouble be made for
him. He has been in this business, so we
learn, for some time and operated suc
cessfully in Augusta, Macon, in this sec
tion, Atlanta and iu South Carolina. He
informed a Coukaxt-American represen
tative that he was never in this vicinity
before, but to a Constitution reporter he
stated that he bought Akerman’s and
Headdeu’s horses from a party at this
place.
He is an important prisoner whose
capture is highly gratifying. His trial
will most probably take place in July,
when it is expected that he will be given
the full benefit of the law.
IT AFFECTS US.
For the Time Heine Mining is at a Stand
Still in Consequence of the > T *w
Railroad Law.
Between three and live hundred hands
have been employed in the ore banks of
Bartow county, and the money paid
them in wages went considerably toward
swelling our city trade. This immense
amount of labor is now idle, till on ac
count of the new Inter-State Commerce
law. Mr. Woodward, of New York, who
has long been identified with our mining
interests and who employed a great
many hands in raising ore. telegraphed
to his superintendent, Mr. Miles Dobbins,
Jr., to stop operations until satisfactory
rates could be secured. The rate now to
Pittsburg is nearly a dollar and a half
more on the ton than formerly. This,
Mr. Woodward states, takes off most
of the profits and he does not wish to
mine t lie ora simply to enrich the rail
roads. Other mines in the county have
shut down and unless some relief is had
our mineral interests will surely suffer.
Refer* the Inter-State Commerce Com
mission.
At a meeting of some of the business
men of Cartel sville on last Monday after
noon a committee composed of the fol
lowing gentlemen, W. C. Baker, D. W.
Curry, W. H. Felton, T. W. Milner, R. M.
Pattillo, R. 11. Jones Douglas Wikle,
.7. W. Harris, Jr. and J. T. Norris was
appointed to appear before the Inter-
State commission at the present session
in Atlanta. A part of this committee,
if not all, will go to Atlanta to-day and
present to the commission a memorial
asking relief from the unjust discrimina
tion in freight rates against which Car
tersville has so long contended. If the
commission shall see proper to place
Cartersville where she [rightfully lie
longs, that in itself will not only be a
boom to our business men, but a boom to
the town. The committee is composed of
some of our representative citizens, and
we feel assured that Cartersville's interest
will not suffer before the commission.

to Write up the Swath.
During (he month of May t . B. Icwi*.
whose sobriquet is "M. Quad, will be
sent south by the Detroit Free Dress to
write up the mineral regions and the
booming towns of those sections. The
Free Pivs* Las a London edition which
has a circulation of 100,000 copie-,
while the circulation of American edition
largely ex.s-eds that numiier. Iu sje-ak
ing of this visit of Mr. 1-ewis, it says edi
torially :
“Ileeently the Free has been overwhelmed
wiili inquiries from England. Scotland and W aiea
about the I'nited States and especially about the
coal and iron region of Alabama. In order to
fully and correctly answer these queries Mr
C. B Lewis will wo to Alabama about the first
day of May and making his headquarters at
Montgomery, will write a number of letters de
scriptive of the mineral region and the booming
towns of Birmingham, Selma, Decatur, Anniston
and Montgomery. These letters will appear in
both the London and Detroit editions of the
E'ree Press.”
A few years ago Mr. Lewis made an ex
tended southern tour, and wrote a num
ber of interesting letters, and the south
ern boom, then in its infancy, was given
a great impetus by his well written and
truthful description and accounts of the
South’s great resources.
Now, Cartersville is the central depot
of Georgia's mineral region, and of ier
haps, the finest and best mineral deposit*
in the South, and should become to Geor
gia what Birmingham and Anniston are
to Alabama. There is no reason why
this should not l>e, and can and will ie, it
our ]**ople will only let the world know
what our resources aiv iu that line.
While Mr. Lewis' mission is more directly
to Alabama, by the proper effort there is
no doubt but that we can succeed in in
ducing him to visit Cartersville and this
section. We will never have another such
opportunity to obtain so much and such
valuable free advertising. Let our peo
ple set about at once, arranging to se
cure a visit from this distinguished writer
and correspondent.

Mrs. Jeannie lone Garwood, wife of
Robt. H. Garwood, Esq., and daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Chunn, of Cass
ville, Ga., departed this life, at her home
in Atlanta, on April 3d, 1887. She
joined the Methodist church at Cassville
when only nine years old, and when she
died, in her 23d year, was a member at
Evans chapel in Atlanta. To a stranger,
who never knew this dear young Chris
tian—in her relations to home, the church
and society—this narration would ap
pear to be the story of many who die in
youth, but to those of us who have
watched her from childhood until her
peacefully, patient and dying hours, this
inscrutable Providence of God seems in
explicable and hard to bear. How our
hearts miss her love and her presence!
She was so dutiful to parents, brothers
and sisters, so devoted to her husband,
such a tender loving mother to the four
little motherless children who mourn her
loss; that anguished hearts cry out,
“Oh, why was Jeannie taken when we
need her so much?” “Always a blessing,
why are we so bereft ?” When infants
die we feel that they are only transplant
ed to a world of infinite happiness, where
the bud will expand under the tender
care of the Creator. When the aged die
God houses them in age and feebleness
from the storms which beat upon their
pathway, from the cradle to the grave,
but when the young, the vigorous, the
helpful and the willing ones are taken,
the earth seems so poor, so barren, so
wrong and so desolate without them.
Father and mother, who were truly
blessed in this sweet, amiable daughter,
and the agonized husband whose bright
little home has been so rudely despoiled,
can rest their faith on God’s promises—
but the tearful appeal of these mother
less babes (one an infant of a few day’s),
and the plaintive erv for “Mama,” who
is gone forever, strikes our human sym
pathy, and our earth-bound natures can
uot fathom, the mysterious dealings of
God, with the creatures that lie has
made. In the midst of thick gloom we
can only clasp His hand and cry, ‘,Help,
Father; the way is dark, gently lead
us!”
“Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds breath,
And stars to set, but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thineown, O, death!"
The dying saint, so young in years,
won a victory over pain, the anguish of
parting, and the grave itself. As the
shadows settled the father clasped her
hand and asked; “Do you know, darling,
that you are dying?” Without a mur
mur or a sigh she answered, “Yes, papa."
As the sands of life were dropping even
to the very last, he suppressed the strug
gling grief to ask again, “Your pupa
wants to know If his darling child is go
ing to heaven?” A smile of ineffable
beauty passed over her features as she
replied without complaint or hesitation,
“Yes, papa.” To make assurance doubly
sure, to those she loved so tenderly, she
repeated, “Yes, papa.”
True, noble, blameless, patient Chris
tian thy sufferings are past and we will
keep thy memory green in our heart of
hearts. May we meet in heaven!
Jennie has gone to the mansions prepared.
In her presence forever to sit down.
For he will that his honor be shared
With the glorified gems of his crown.
Shall we call her, an angel away,
From that land where naught vicious can taint?
Ah! no. she is far higher, we say,
She is one of the blood bought; a saint.
Her loveliness lives, though she’s gone;
Who could know her and not shed a tear?
Ah! that little I've known
I've learned to love and serve.
Dear sorrowing ones, would I could bind
Thy poor bleeding hearts so bereaved;
Not to feel for thee, would be unkind;
For thy sorrow alone ain I grieved.
In thy hearts, her dear name is enshrined:
Ah, Its mention thy pulses shall thrill—
For her equal, thou never will find,
Or who can the vacancy fill?
But our Savlo’s a healer indeed:
Not a sigh, nor a pang but he knows;
Look to him and the greater thy need,
The greater the grace he bestows.
But hopes makes thy sorrowing sweet.
Since that loved one, hath entered her rest.
For the parted in Jesus shall meet.
On the peaceful shores of the blest.
