His remarks were much enjoyed by all

Adalrsville’s Rocks.
It has been remarked several times that

crops out of the central part of the town.
It was never thought much of. bufit
turns out now that tile town is built on
n bed of black marble of the finest grade.
It is susceptible of a high polish, and
t here is no doubt about the durability,
as there are sidewalks there that have
been standing sometime. —Savannah

Present schedules will not admit of one
sending a letter to Atlanta and receiving

secure a remedy for this by petitioning

Atlanta distribution to go down on the

I towns on other lines as well as the W. &

afternoon. Children under six years will

Judge Neel has received a letter from

who killed an old showman in Adairsville
three or four years ago. It will be remem
bered that the person inquired for effect
ed iiis escape from our jail and lias never
been heard of since. The writer of the
letter states that hisland his brother's
mother is in her last days and on the
verge of insanity, all on account of her
wayward son, and wants to hear some
thing from Him. Whisky constituted the
foundation for this wretched state of
affairs in the Sugg family.

Hero is a Hoorn ltiglit
London, May Hi.—The Financial Secre
tary of India has advised the government
of the discovery of an immense amount
of treasure, estimated at over $25,000,-
900, which had been secreted in the
Palace of Gwailior by the late Mahar
ojah. The treasure had been sunk in
pits, under the vaults benefit h theZaimua,
and the secret was entrusted to a few
contidental servants. The Secretary was
present when the treasure was unearthed.
After removing the earth to a depth of
six feet the workmen uncovered great
flagstones. Beneath these stones were
several pits filled to the brim with silver
chiefly, freshly coined rupees. In each
pit was a plate recording the amount of
the treasure and the names of the offic
ials who had assisted in secreting it.
The Indian Government has taken the
hoard as a loan from the young Mahar
ajah. Tin* native papers protest against
this action of the government.
S.im Jones’ Opinion of Home.
The Jones Small meeting in Rome
opened up most encouragingly Sunday,
and the prospects are fine for an immense
amount of good to be derived from it. It
is sincerely hoped that a stimulus will be
given to the prohibition element that
will carry the good cause to victory in
the next contest. Rome, practically, is
the whisky depot for nearly this whole
section of the state, and the good people
should see to it that such a blot should
be effaced from her fair name and flatter
ing prospects. Mr. Jones, in speaking of
the condition of Rome, said that there
was “enough hell in the town to make
another hell.”
Speaking of Rome, reminds us of the
fact that Floyd county has now a chance
to redeem herself. The most favorable
prospects are in view, and with proper
effort it can be ridden of the curse of
whisky selling. It is understood that
two of the most prominent whisky houses
in the town have declined taking any
stock in an election if held, uml the new
and rigid registration law will tend to
bring about victory for the prohibition
ists.
The Holiness Meeting Closed on Sunday
Kijjl.t.
The Holiness Association closed its
week's meeting on last, Sunday night;
and never before, perhaps, in so short a
time, has Darters ville so thoroughly
awakened. From the very beginning the
people manifested considerably interest
in the meeting; the church was tilled at
almost every service. Interest gre%\ and
the congregations increased until the
spacious auditorium of the Methodist
church wii crowded to overflowing.
When these good men and women .first
came amongst us, many not understand
ing fully what they really believed con
cerning holiness or sanctification, had
some misgivings as to what would be the
result of their meeting. This was soon
dispelled, and in its stead, an almost uni
versal confidence in them and u hearty
approval of their efforts to raise the
standard of religion and place the
church upon a higher plane. A right
conception of their believe upon the doc
trine of holiness is sufficient to silence all
criticism and command the respect of
all good people. As explained in a cir
cular, issued by Rev. A.J. Jarrell, presi
dent of the association, if is the doctrine
of all the Christian churches.
We have never seen such blazing cn
tusiasm, more intense earnestness and
zeal, or deeper piety than that manifest
ed by these good people. They won the
hearts and affections of our citizens, and
w henever the association may meet here
its members will always find a warm wel
come to our homes. The services were
continued by the Rev. Air. Timmons un-
last Wednesday.
There is not a man or woman in Dart
ersville but that is glad that the associa
tion held its meeting here, and who is not
ready to say that our town is the better
lor its coming.
TriE MOONSHINE WAGON.
It is Orrrhanliat‘ Last and it* Occupant*
Jailed
At intervals of a month or so for the
past several months, certain characters
S in this community have l*een liberally
supplied with whisky. When a fresh
supply was in the community or nearby
it was noticeable by the great amount
of docking indulged in by the men em
ployed in the mines of the county, nud
strange the supply wee always forth
coming at or near the time of paying off
the hands. The men would no sooner
get their wages than they would, as if by
some instinct, wend their way to a moon
shiner's camp.
As before stated this has been going on
for some time, and the efforts of the rev
enue offices proved fruitless in stopping
it. Last Saturday was pay day at the
ore banks, the whisky was on hand as
usual. Luckily a gentleman "living on the
outskirts of the town noticed some sus
picious characters in their movements,
and he was not long in “spotting” a
wagon of whisky in rear of Squire Smith's
on the Howland Springs road. He came
to town, gave the information to Marsh
al Wilkerson, who immediately imparted
it to Messrs. A. TV'. Fife and Deputy
Marshals Mark Scot i and Ira Campbell,
who happened to be in town. The latter
three hastily proceeded to the locality
where the whisky was being sold. Leav
ing the main road, uml going down an
old by-road, they came upon the wagon
in a dense thicket. Three men lay near,
who proved to be Samuel Mo.selv. deputy
sheriff of Pickens eouutv, Samuel Boze
man, and a colored boy by the name of
Willis MKinney, all hailing from l’ickens
county. They were arrested without
trouble and brought to town. The wag
on contained six five-gallon casks and
one large jug, all nearly full of whisky.
A large l übber syphon that was used in
drawing the Arid, and a gallon pot were
found in the wagon. It was a neat turn
out, well fixed up for a prosperous busi
ness. The casks bore stamps, but it is
thought by the officers that they hud
been refilled. A few yards from the wag
on was found a forty-gallon barrel of
whisky which was not stamped, and
which the prisone s disowned. The
tracks of the wagon though gives the
scheme away, and it no doubt was placed
off by itself on account of the barrel not
being stumped, thus to be ready to be
disowned in case of eoirfing iu contact
with revenue officers.
The officers say when they ran upon
the trio of moonshiners considerable
rustling among the bushes could be heard,
made by parties leaving the spot in a
hurry, it is unfortunate some of them
could not have been captured or seen and
made to appear as witnesses.
The three men were brought before
Commissioner Martin Collins Monday and
the two white men were committed to
jail under a fffOO bond, while the darkey
was required to ante up a bond of S2OO.
The good people of this community are
very much elated over this capture, and
it is hoped that it will stop the running
in of blockade wagons for awhile at
least. The appearance of these men, we
are informed, has been very often in our
midst and always when they came there
was an unusal supply of whisky some
where. Samuel .Vlosely, the deputy
sheriff of Pickens county, is said to be
worth considerable money, and is well
thought of in his county. It is passing
strange that he could secure his own con
sent to engage in such nefarious business
and it is a sad commentary indeed, when
an officer of the law, sworn to execute the
laws, is a rank violator of the same.
The Last anil West Changes Management.
1 he East and \\ est R. R. of Ala., has
at last changed hands. The transfer took
place yesterday. The new management
will not take absolutecontrol until about
J une Ist.
( uder the new regime Capt. John Pos
ted will be general superintendent and
vice president, and Mr. S. L. Vnndivere
master of transportation. This means
much for the road. Capt. Postell is not
only a cultured and elegant gentleman,
but-he is one of the most successful and
best equipped railroad men in the south.
He understands thoroughly every detail
in the business, and is a man of eminent
ly practical ideas. Fnder his former ad
ministration of the affairs of the road, it
was unusually prosperous, and was con
sidered one of the most profitable rail
road properties in the country. Mr.
\ andivere as assistant to Capt. Postell,
and master of transportation, will be a
most valuable aid. In this branch of the
service we doubt if he has a superior in
the country.
\\ hile the new superintendent is reti
cent as to the future plans of the compa
ny, or liis management, yet we under
stand that there will be some changes.
The headquarters of the road will proba
ably be moved from Cedartown to this
place, and the road made standard
gunge at an early day. The extension to
Eden, on the Georgia Pacific, will be com
pleted by July Ist, and the road will be
pushed eastward from ('artersville.
“Bill Arp” in New York.
Alaj. C. 11. Smith (“Bill Arp”) return
ed from New York last week, having en
joyed himself very much at the metropo
lis. Ilis lectures were much appreciated
and were well attended. The New A'ork
papers treated him kindly and wrote
some nice things about him. We have
not the room to print all, but will make
room for the following, from the Sun, of
t hat city:
Maj. ( has H. Smith, of Georgia, whose
quaint writings under the sobriquet of
“Rill Arp,” have been widely copiad in
newspapers, especially of the" south and
west, amused an audience at ( ’flickering
Hall last night for an hour and a half
with a lecture on “Dixie now and Dixie
Then." He drew pictures of the old
Southern aristocroey as modifld by the
war, and tilled in his sketch with odd fan
cies of comment and description. He
noted the improvement of the Southern
masses as a compensation for the decad
ence of the aristocracy. He observed
that under the pressure of the new order
the Southern girls are getting better ed
ucation, while the Southerh boys are
going to w ork instead of college.
He calculated that the estimated loss
to th<‘south by the manumission of the
slaves was largely fictitious, aud that in
many cases the loss of the slaves was a
profit to the master. lie traced in the
new south the promise of more general
happiness, but lie could not observe
much improvement in the colored race.
A Seasonable Remedy.
At this season of the year when the
prevelenc” of bowel troubles amount to
such a great extent as to be in many cases
alarming, a remedy, a never failing rem
edy is very much desired and in demand.
The Douhant-Americax can conscien
tiously recommend to those suffering
from any bowel complaints whatever
Dairy's Diarrhoea and Dysentery Specific,
a deM shot in every instance. The rem
edy is unfallible, at best it has power, so
so in the ease of one of the editors of this
paper. It is a remedy that none can af
for to be without, especially at thiss
season of the year. A bottle should be
kept on the medicine shelf of every
family. It will be seen by referring to
an advertisement elsewhere that it is
very highly reconiended by some of our
most prominent physicians. It is sold
by all druggists and general dealers.
i One of the hardost worked individuals
n this community is Dr. Lindsay John
son, w hose valuable services are alway s
in demand. He is certainly a very fine
physician whose worth is appreciated by
all, as attested by the numerous calk
for his presence at the bedside of the
sick.

Hymeneal —On Tuesday the 10 th inst..
at H o'clock, occurred the nuptials of Mr.
( has. T. Leeke and Miss Fannie M. Law
son. both of this county. The ceremony
was performed at the residence of the
bride's father, W. J. Lawson, Esq., in
the presence of a few of the friends and
relative of the contracting parties, Rev.
VV. \Y. Brinstield officiating. Shortly af
ter the happy pair became as one, the
room resounded with kisses and words of
congratulation, after which we began to
assemble around a table that for beauty,
taste and sumptuousness could not have
been excelled. All who were present at
the marriage were invited to be on hand
the next day at the home of B. T. Leeke,
Esq., father of the groom, where a most
bountiful feast had been prepared for the
occasion. It is needless to add that both
the supper and dinner were hugely enjoy
ed by all present-, and especially by the
undersigned bald-healded individual.
The bride is one of Bartow's most lovely
and amiable young ladies, and one who
is well fitted to make a home of happi
ness and bliss. The groom is one among
our most energetic young men who was
recently one of the partners of Leeke
Bros., who are now doing a live business
in the shingle line, but who has lately em
barked in the farming business with flat
