THE CONDUCTORS’ Pit NIC.
Tho largest aml Happiest Picnic Crowd
I vpr Seen In This Sec linn
Six thousand happy and fun-bent peo
ple is not an everyday sight, but such a
one presented itself to those who at'.end
ed the conductors' picnic at eharning
“Spring Batik' last Thursday. A
i larger crowd, possibly, may have been
j before ga there* 1 together in this sn-tion,
j but there certainly never was a happier
! one.
The day dawned most auspiciously,
the cooling atmosphere redolent with
the sweetest aromas of spring, every
body for the time being throwing dull
care aside and becoming thoroughly
imbued with the prevailing spirit, it is
no wonder that everything passed off so
smootliiy and satisfactorily to the par
ticipants as well as the brotherhood.
The affair was all t hut could lie wished.
Tin* spot selected was enchanting a id a
more beautlf .1 one could uot have been
selected within the breadth of Fartow
county. Every arrangement for tin ac
commodation and convenience of the
happy throng was there. Those having j
affairs in charge were untiring in their i
energies in making the day w hat it was,
and the manner in which they conduc ed
things was the source of many compli
mentary remarks.
A well-erected dancing platform of im
mense proportions, two excellent bands
were at the disposal of those that chose
to sjieud the day “tripping the light fan
tastic.” This was kept up pretty much
all the time, only stopping during the
delivery of a couple of short speeches,
all seeming to enjoy the dancing very
much. There was amusements sufficient
for all and the crowd seemed determined
to get the most out of them.
The train from Atlanta was composed
of fourteen coaches, crowded from “stem
to stern,” mid lots of them hanging on
to anything that was handy. The train
from Chattanooga went ten better, being
composed of twenty-four coaches. Such
truins and such crowds! It was none of
your eager-anxous, fretful political
crowds where you were always antici
pating some serious trouble, bat a happy
one in the extreme, everybody trying to
see who coil <1 1) 1 the happiest and most
pleasant. Strangers met and convened
as free yas intimate friends. One notice
able teal ure. and a very gratifying one
indeed, there was scarcely any drinking
of intoxicating liquors on the ground.
Two poor fellows arriving in the scene
in a pretty bad condition had sense
enough to take in the sit illation at once
and accordingly vacated the spot and
remained away from the crowd until the
afternoon, when they turned up in better
condition than when they came. They
behaved better than any drunken fellows
ever seen.
The (Jouuant-Ameiucan would like to
publish the speeches made in full but it is
impossible for want of space. Maj. ( has.
11. Smith made one of his most inimita
ble efforts, which was enjoyed by all who
heard it. ('apt. Dick Hargis attempted
a speech and progressed very well until
he came to tell how dearly beloved the
conductors’ brotherhood, when his
great big heart gave way and it was
necessary to carry him off on a litter,
(’apt. Dick is a whole team in picnic af
fairs and* it was largely through his
efforts that this once was such an im
mense success.
It would be useless to go into details,
they would till every column of this
paper. The dinners spread, suffice it to
say, were all goo 1, and the i,u ilit.v and
quantity of them were immense. 1 here
was fully enough to f< e 1 tw c ■ the num
ber present. We have yet to hear of a
single person that failed in having a fine
dinner and an immense time.
PICNIC CRUMBS.
The Misses Howard were very kind in
deed in granting the conductors the
privilege of using their beautiful spring
and grounds for their picnic. They may
wed congratulate themselves on possess
ing such a beautiful home as “Spring
Bank."
Col. George 11. Waring was on tin;
grounds and did much in making every
body fi>el at home, lie shut down his
Cement works to allow all hands a day
of unalloyed happiness.
The Capitol City Baud, of Atlanta,
discoursed some delightful music, which
was one of the most pleasant features of
the day.
('apt. Dick Hargis wants another pie
nic, and is going to have one. only
it will be on a much smaller scale. Next
Saturday t here will be a family re-union
at his pleasant home, and the day will
be spent in a genuine love feast, (’apt.
Dick can now be counted as a regular
picnic hand equal for'any and ad emer
gencies.
The engineer and fireman that drew
the Chattanooga train were presented
with beautiful souvrinirs of the trip,
gold pins in shape of an engine, were
presented them.
Sanford Vandivere was happy, of
course, and kept in that condition the
whole day. Sanford is “some pumpkins"
on a picnic himself, when it comes to
taking care of the crowds.
The Tenneseeans were delighted with
their trip and the idea that Chattanooga
was the whole world was instantly ob
liberated from their minds. They brag
ged on our scenery and the country
shamefully and were astonifthed at the
natural resources of the county.
Mr. J. S. Reach, representing the “Bile
B‘an" lieu*, ol St. Louis, has just fin
ished a good advertising job for his
jiouse. He is a clever gentleman and a
g ‘iiu'n' “hustler,’’ when it comes to
looking after business.
Miss Addie Henderson, of Murfrees
boro, Tenn., after spending sometime
pleasantly with Miss Lula White, re
turned home Tuesday morning. The
train that bore her off was well attended
and one could see many a young man in
despair at her leaving. She made warm
triends here who will always remember
her many good qualities and gentle man
ners and will look forward ro a repeti
tion of her visit with great pleasure.
HO, FOR ROME!
A Large Crowd Will Go Over Sunday to
Hear Kt, Sam. Jones.
Arrangements, have been made for
those wishing to spend the day in Rome
next Sunday to do so. A special train
will leave here about 7:30 Sunday morn
ing. arriving in Rome an hour and a half
later. On returning parties can leave
Rome at 3 p. in. making connection at
Kingston with the regular afternoon
train that arrives here at 4:40 and for
those that wish to remain over to the
night service a speeial will be run from
Rome to Kingston to connect wit i No.;i2
that arrives here 12:36, p. m.
One fare for the round trip, which will
only be ninty cents.
Let a good crowd go over and see how
our two Sams are shelling the devil s
stronghold in the “Hill City,
Corn and Hams.
TTe Lave just received 1,000
bushels o<f Corn and a fine lot
Country Cured Hams, which

An Alliterative Family.
The following from the Carnesville Reg
ister speaks of the father of our fellow
townsman, Mr. A. G. B. Vandivere: We
saw a newspaper statement a few days
ago that a man living in Oconee county
had five children all of whose name be
gan with I). Rev. Matthew Vandivere,
who oneed lived in this county, had six
children, five of whom had names begin
ing with A. His children’s names were
Alfonso, Almarine, Albert, Alfred, Arta
missa and Desdemonia. Mr. Vandivere
was one of seven brothers, all of whom
were Baptist preachers. Two of his sons,
Almarine and Albert, were preachers. As
a minister Almarine was successful, and
Albert, though quite a young man, was
reckoned a very able minister. Jle died
early in life. Matthew Vandivere was
considered an able man, and 45 years
ago lie filled a large space in the minds
and hearts of the people of this county.
It is likely that no minister since his day
has been more noted among the people
than he, yet there are hundreds of men
and women in this county who were born
and raised here that never heard his
name. Such is life and such is fame.
Now For Downy Beds,
About the best equipped business of the
kind that has ever been in this section is
the feather renovating business of Messrs.
D. \\ . Rankin & Cos., who have recently
opened up in the old Shockley building
on the east side of the square. They are
very clever gentlemen and do nice work
at cheaper prices than usual. We have
siva some of their work and do not hes
itate to recommend them and their busi
ness to the housekeepers of Cartersville
and Bartow county. They have light
wagons made expressely for the business,
and those wishing their feather beds or
pillows made as fresh as new, by sending
them word, can have them taken off and
brought back promptly. Nothing is
nicer than a clean, soft feather bed, and
these gentlemen can revolutionize them
in their very worst condition.
A Bartow Man In Colorado.
1 lie Buena 1 ista (Col.) Democrat has
this to say concerning an old citizen of
this county, a brother of Mr. Jim Rich,
of this place: Mr. N. A. Rich tel’s us that
lus mining property at Weston Bass is
looking quite promising. The vein shows
a foot of sand carbonates which runs 41
per cent lead and 43% ounces silver. They
are now drifting on the vein, and as soon
as the snow is off will commence ship
ping. Buena Vista will get the ore if the
smelter is running at that time.

Coffee is too High.
“There is not one-third the coffee used
now as there was twelvemonths ago,”
remarked a Cartersville merchant to a
Covkaxt-American man the other day.
“Why, what's the matter?” was asked
“The price is too high for most people.
They are doing without or cutting down
in that line, rather than pay the prevail
ing and rapidly rising prices. You see
Lorillard and a lot of the money kings
of New York bought up last year's crop
and made a corner in the market. They
ran the price up high but the consumers
have proven equal to the emergency and
have cut down supply or done without
altogether. The new crop will come in
pretty soon and a decline is expected in
prices, when poor white folks and nig
gers and all will drink their usual cup of
coffee. Mr. Lorrillard and his gang has
got left in the coffee corner this time.”
A Card.
Messrs. Editors —Certain interested par
ties have circulated the report that I
have been advertising to give 14 pounds
granulated sugar for SI.OO and made
my profit by giving short weights. Al
low me to say that the assertion is false
and an outrage, and I can only attribute
such a charge to selfish, jealous compet
itors. The truth is, the “hit dogs always
yelps.” Respectfully,
