Hon. Tims. W. Milner went to Chatta nooga this week on business. There are now only three prisoners in jail, and the jailer never claims a boom in his business. Now that our boom ban received quite h Hud<k*n and solid impetus let us keep the ball moving. Mine Kit tie Puckett, of Atlanta, is vis iting her brother Dr. Puckett, the popu lar West Main street dentist. The dull summer months are here, the saddest of tho year, when delinquents pass you by and your creditors—they just “rare.” There will*be public exercises at West End Institute Friday, April 29. The pa trons of the school and public generally are cordially invited. Crawford & Field have just received a pair of fine Kentucky dapple greys that are lieanties, and which will le in demand this summer by the boys. Wouldn't a humlred-und-fifty-ton fur nace revolutionize things in and around Curtersville? Other enterprises of equal importance will soon follow in its wake. Julius Scliener left for his old home in Germany lust .Sunday, to l>e gone several mouths. The Cocuant-Amkiiican wishes its friend u sale voyage and a happy time with the “old folks at home.” A worthy colored man by the name of Fannin is in our midst, whose business is to clean up and polish up aged monu ments, gravestones, etc. lie does excel lent work, and comes highly recommend ed as a reliable colored man. Mr. Zimri W. Jackson and his son, Arthur, have returned from a prospect ing tour through Texas. They return more thoroughly convinced than ever Ihat Georgia is the empire State of the South, and Bartow county the garden spot of Georgia. Henry Wright was carried IWore a jus tice in Canton last Wednesday ami he waived a preliminary hearing. A bond of $250 was required which was not forthcoming and Henry will remain in jail until Judge Jim Brown will pass on his ease in September. The Fort Smith Tribune, in speaking of the late John H. Satterfield, says: “He came to this city less than a year ago from Home, (5a., but during this short t ime, by his genial disposition, had made a large circle of friends, and among them lie was known as a warm-hearted man as always the friend of the dis tressed.” Wylie Bridges has arranged matters so as to continue the old business of Bridges & Smith, he having bought out his part ner. Mr. Bridges wishes to extend a cor dial invitation to his old customers, and as many new ones as possible, to call around when they want the freshest and purest groceries. His stock is fresh and attractive andhegives you your money’s worth. Mrs. Turner Goldsmith died at her home in Atlanta last week after a short sickness, being 74 years old. The de ceased was a most estirnal I.* lady and was well known over the entire state. She was the grand mother of Mrs. Turn Lyon, of t his county, and lias spent much of her time here. Her funeral was largely at tended, twelve of her sons acting as pallbearers. A young man in our knowledge lost a friend some time ago by death. He wrote out a lengthy obituary and brought it around to this office for publication. Such matter is alwnys charged for, but the fellow’s sympathy did not go far enough to pay out a dollar or so for its publication, and it has never appeared. Now won’t somebody inform us how much real sympathy that fellow posses ses for liis deceased friend? In our advertising columns will be found the announcement of the North Georgia Cheap Furniture house, Mr. Van divere retiring and Messrs. Peacock A Veal taking charge. The new firm are solid, energetic young business men who will no doubt rush the business to its fullest extent. They have ordered new and elegant goods and have made some attractive improvements in and around i he establishment already. Cousiderale damage was done to fenc ing over the county last week by the storm. Trees were uprooted and fences strewn every where. A large tree fell on the country residence of Major C. H. Smith, smashing it in, and some other 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. The ladies of Cussville deni re to finish the repairs on the fence enclosing the graves of the dead Confederates, and subscriptions will he receives! thankfully. Our people responded liberally last Slim mer, a handsome sum being gotten up, which was consumed in cleaning up the grounds, putting the graves in shape,the small balance left over being appropriat ed to the fence, our people respond most liberally to such a worthy cause. The community was shocked this morn ing by the announcement of the death of Mrs. John T. Owen, which occurred about S oclock. She had been ill for some time, and while her condition was serious her death was unexpected by her family and friends. She was a most estimable Chris tian lady, whose death east a gloom over the entire community. Owing to the lateness of the news reaching us Itefore going to press a more extended notice is postponed until our next puper. The revival at the Baptist church still continues with unabated interest and will continue the balance of the week. The influence of the revival has been felt in the whole community and much good has been accomplished. Thirteen acces sions to the Baptist church are already assured, and a baptising will take place Sunday afternoon, iiev. Mr. Thomason lias been untiring in his efforts and his presence in (’artersvillo has been the source of much good. lie will remain until t he meeting doses. The Coitrant-Ambkjca.n hasbeenlabor ing under some difficulties the past week. (>ur new dress came and it took all hands two or three days to place it in its proper place, the pa\>er had to be "set up," and a rush of job work was on hand. When we were in the tightest place our main printer flew the track and left us in the lurch. A telegram to Rome brought out an old soak who was full to the brim when he came, uml when he got up the following morning he wanted a drink.and pulled out back to Rome to get it, walk ing. However, a “tourist'' dropped in this morning, and we hope to sail smooth ly for a while at least. Holiness Convention. The committee appointed by the pas tor of the Methodist church to arrange homes for the delegates to the Holiness convention which assembles here on the bth of May, have been very successful in their efforts. Delegates will Is* here from nearly every State in the South, and we can assure them that Cartersville's hos pitality stands open and ready to wel come them. The convention is com posed of pure, noble, zealous Christian workers; their presence in our midst will be received with a cincure pleasure by our people. We trust that their stay here will result in n mutual good. NOW, WE CAN BOOM! transactions made that will SET rs TO BOOMING, SURE. The Etowah Iron and Mani<faiH se,Com pany and Cartersville Land Com pany Join Hands and go to 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 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. My Rooks.

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.

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. A FRIEND | •—• i Fresh Garden Seeds received this week at Wikle’s Drug Store.
