There was quite an animated scene
around Stilesboro Tuesday morning
when the traiu arrived. The farmers of
the community were iu town and their
teams and horses were hitched near the
track. Several became scared at tin* en
gine mid broke for a more congenial
elime, and succeeded in completely wreck
ing Jim Jolly's and Jim Hammond's
road carts. One of the horses scattered
a crowd iu one of the stores in double
quick time, and could hardly be kept
from running into the store. Strange to
say, no one was injured, but it was souie
what of a bad day for road carts.

of about fa,ooo upon him. All, with

thirty. I is a curiosity—and will, no
doubt, find its way to the Piedmont ex
position.
Rev. Mr. Cooper is conducting a meet

Death of Judge M. (i. Dobbins.
Judge M. G. Dobbins died at his home,
near Cass Station, on last Monday even
ing, after several weeks of painful illness,
at the age of seventy-seven years.
The deceased was one of the oldest and
most highly esteemed citizens of Bartow
bounty. Ho was true t > every obliga
tion to his fellow man, and always ready
to aid in any enterprise that pointed to
the good of the community.
The Constitution, of yesterday, gives
the following brief sketch of his life :
“Mr. Dobbins w r as born in Clarke county
Ga., November 281810, where he resided
until 1830. In 1835 he entered the
mercantile business at McDonough, but
five years later removed to Grffin, where
he lived until the close of the war, and
where in 1 Hfi he was united in mar
riage to Miss Susan J. Butler, who now,
with two sons and three daughters,
survive him. In 1806 he moved to At
lanta, where he engaged in the banking
business. His career as such was sig
nally successful. His industry, tine
judgment and unusual business talentf
soon made him a strong and prominent
figure in financial circles. In 1873 he
removed to Bartow county, where he
has since resided up to the time of his
death. In the home circle and in private
life no man was kinder and nobler than
M. (i. Dobbins. Asa husband, gentle
and affectionate; as a father, kind and
indulgent; as a friend, true and loyal.
Acting up so the golden rule he was
always willing to yield to others that
justice which lie claimed for himself, and
he lived and died “an honest man, the
noblest work of God.’’ llis sympathy
was never appealed to in vain by any
w orthy person who, without fault, was
persecuted or oppressed, but his help was
extended in so unostentatious way that
none but a few intimate friends ever knew
! of it. In the matter of giving his ideas
were just as w‘ell as charitable, his motto
| being “to help those who tried to help
themselves.'’ Mr. Dobbins was an ex
cellent citizen, always advocating what
was just w ithout regard to ex|H*diency.
During the later years of his life he was
an ardent prohibitionist, and the recent
prohibition'Victory at Home seemed to
mak* him happy on his deathbed. It
w as his habit of late years on each birth
day to assemble at his spacious and hos
pitable home all his children and grand
children in a happy family reunion, it
being his delight to render each occas
ion more enjoyable than the former had
been.
When he perceived that the evening of
his life was coming on he turned from his
earthly labors, gathered his family
around his dying lied, and without a
shade of fear faced his death, without a
murmur in full faith of a better life here
after.’
The remains were carried to Atlanta
yesterday and interred at Oakland eem
tci v. A number of friends from here at
tended the funeral.
The following gentlemen acted as pall
bearers: .Judge George Hillyer, G. T.
Dodd, J. 11. Meraslin, Dr. J. I). Turner,
E. H. Thornton, A. D. Adair, l’aul
Keely, G. \Y. Adair and
M. Kiser. Rev. J. If. Hawthorne
conducted the funeral services.
When you need a Watch, whether a
$2,50 Water berry, or a $l5O Gold Tieker
be sure to eall on us. We are confident
wo can suit you in goods and prices.

AT WORK IX EARNEST.
The Committees Organize for a Proper
Kxliibit of Bartow’s Resources.
Pursuant to call of the general meet
ing held on the sth, the committees ap
]minted for the purpose of making ar
rangements for tin* projier display of Bur
-1 ow's resources at the Piedmont aasoeia
t ion and the State fair, met at the court
bouse at 12 o’clock last Saturday, per
f*c!ed organization and proceeded to
work. Each eonunitteninn present was
exhulierant and felt confident that there
would not be any trouble in getting our
jieople interested, and each pledged their
most active energies from now until the
day of exhibit.
Mr. R. M. Pattillo was called to the
chair, while Mr. George H. Aubrey was
made secretary.
On motion the following names were
added to the committee: Oliver Rich
ards, J. T. Conyers, .Jabez Gilreath, Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Brown, John P. Stegall,
L l . I*. Mahan, S. P. Hubbard, Sam'l
Bonis, J. P. Isnris, Henry Gaines, R. 0.
Crawford, John S. Leake, J. X. Dobbs,
Hayne Dodd, R. 11. Jones and A. M.
Willingham. Every member of the
county agricultural clubs were also
added to the committee.
The committees will meet at the ojiera
house every Saturday morning at 10
o'clock until the close, and it is confi
dently exjmted that each and every one
will be present. The time has come for
hearty and united action. The best in
terests of our county are at stake, and
it remains to Is* seen whether our people
will take the interest tht* occasion de
mands. The Piedmont exposition will
be at tended by the people of the w hole
country, people who will be looking
around for desirable homes and capi
talists who are looking about for the
safe iu vestment of idle capital. No sec
tion can compare with our own Bartow
county for both. While the people of
our county know what resources we have
they are nevertheless comparatively un
known to the outside world. A projier
display at the Piedmont exposition and
at the State fair will do much in putting
our magnificent county before the world.
Let every man anil woman in Bartow
county constitute him or herself into a
committee of one to see that Bartow
county is well represented and not to be
eclipsed by any of the adjoining or other
counties of this section. We have the
mineral wealth to dazzle the eyes of the
hungry capitalists. We have the lands
that will compare with any, our diversi
fied field products are many and every
thing nearly is raised to perfection. Our
society is good and as for health our
county cannot lie beaten iu the whole
wide world. With all these u< antages,
why remain quiet and allow home hun
ters to pass our doors without even an
invitation to stop and linger? Let the
outside world know us and we need not
fear the conclusions of its researches.
Let us all work, and work hard. Just
now is the most critical period in the ex
istence of our section. Do not remain in
idleness and allow golden moments to
pass us by without even an e.Tort to
better ourselves.
The committees appointed can confi
dently expect, we believe, the hearty co
operation of our whole people, in get
ting up specimens of different articles for
exhibition.
These specimens can be brought in and
safely stored away until the day of ship
ment as plenty of storing room has been
secured. Send along your specimens,
duly labeled, and they will be properly
cared for. Any information, premium
lists, etc., will be cheerfully given by
Mr. George II Aubrey, the secretary.
It is hoped that those on the commit
tees will meet at the opera house on next
Saturday at 10 o'clock sharp.
Court Proceedings.
July term of Bartow Superior court con
vened at 12 o'clock last Monday, Judge
J. C. Fain presiding. Upon the swearing
in of the juries, the Judge delivered his
usual vigorous and comprehensive
charge to the grand jury. A greater por
tion of the afternoon was consumed in
calling and setting cases for trial. The
following cases were placed upon the
boards, to be tried in the order in which
they come: Emsley Stegall vs. Thos. 11.
Baker; J. H. Williams, pl’ffin li. fa., vs.

lard vs. estate of L. Dillard; Hilburn &
Gardner vs. John Mosley, et. al,; R. D.
Combs vs. H. Y. Pickard; Sinclair Mc-
Menderson vs. Nancy Henderson.
These cases were set for trial this week,
but should the court fail to finish, the
list will lie continued until all have been
called for a hearing, each case coining in
the order in which it stands on the cal
endar. The first ease tried was that of
Smiley S. Johnson, executor, etc., vs.
Lindsay Johnson, et. ah, executors de
son tort of Mary Johnson, deceased.
This case, upon the hearing of able ar
guments from counsel on both sides, was,
by the court, non-suited.
The next case, in its regular order, was
that of Louisa E. Price vs. W. T. Wof
ford, deft, and M. A, Goode, clm'nt. Ver
dict for the t-laiinant.
In the case of D. Haney & Bros. vs.
Frank Vernon, verdict was rendered
against the defendant in favor of the
plaintiff for s2l>o.
VOTES.
The grand jury this week is composed
of an exceedingly strong body of men.
They have entered upon their duties with
a commendable energy and zeal, and are
giving public matters close attention.
Fapt. A. F. Woolley is the worthy fore
man and (’has E. MeEweu the efficient
clerk.
Sheriff Franklin and his able deputy,
J. W. Williams, have surrounded them
selves with a clever set of bailiffs, who
strive hard to discharge their duties.
Clerk Durham has all the courts’ re
cords in splendid shape, livery docu
ment is to its place, and no time is lost
iu finding papers, llartow county has
never had an official who performed his
duties mere faithfully and efficiently
than its present clerk.
OVER THE COUNTY.
OUR CORRESPONDENTS NOTE THE
INCIDENTS OF THEIR
| NEIGHBORHOODS,
And Dish Thun Up In a Delectable Shape
For Our Readers.
CLEAR CREEK.
We are blessed every few days with re
freshing showers. The prospect for a
good crop is very flattering.
The fruit crop is almost an entire* fail
ure in our community. except the blaek
berries; we never saw them finer.
The schools are all having vacation
now, the girls are all at home, and the
boys seem to take more interest in the
Sabbath school than for some time past.
Glad to see them come out.
It seems that W. C. W. still persist* in
giving the old gentleman over half the
apples. I think he was quite selfish in re
quiring half for himself, and I. for one,
will not consent for him to have any
more. Bob Bail is correct —lie only gives
him half. In liob Bail's first example, 1
apply the rule of division to get the third
of 50 cents, which is 16 2-8 cents, I then
take the third of 16, which is 5 1-8, and
the third of 2-8 equals 2-0; I tlieu take
half of 16 2-8. which is 8 1-8,1 add the
whole numbers 5 and 8, making 13, then
bring the fractions 1-3 1-3 -2-9 to a com
mon denominator and add them. 1-3 is
equal to 3-9, and 1-3 again equals 3-9,
and 2-9 more equals 8-9, The answer I
get is 13 8-9.
It seems by the other example that
Bob sells his apples at one cent apiece.
If he will come over and bring a basket
of apples, we will work them all out for
him by the single rule of three, and he
may think himself faring well if he gets
one left for himself.

The epidemic storm of sickness that
has been raging in our country has about
passed over.
Mr. J. P. Adair opened his school at
Bennett's school house, in Cherokee
county, on last Monday. We hope he
will have a good school—as to a good
time, there is no question as to John
having it wherever In* goes.
We still hear the buzz and rattle of the
thresher and the joyous shout and song
of its merry crew.
Prof. J. M. Boyd and his brother opin
ed their school at Richards last week
with flattering prospects; the Professor
has won quite a reputation here as a
thorough teacher and a man of moral
persuasion.
Mr. 11. It. Maxwell left the first of this
w**ek to take a view of the western plains,
and to try the healing waters of Hot
Springs, Ark. Wo wish for him a pleas

stored to perfect health, to again take
his place as secretary of Pine Log Sun
day school.
STEGALL.

ten o'clock on Saturday, by Rev. J. M.
White, to a large and sympathetic con
gregation, and after services the last sad
rites were performed at the cemetery,
where our neighbor, friend, brother and
fellow-citizen, was consigned to the silent
tomb. Nearly all the people in the town
and surrounding country were present,
show ing by their presence that the de
ceased was highly respected in life. He
leaves a vile, five children, one brother,
two sisters and a host of friends to
mourn his hiss. He left every evidence
that he was ready for the summons.
('apt. John F. Hardin went to Atlanta
Sunday with his brother, Col. Mark Har

eral months, and he goes to Atlanta for
medical treatment. Judge J. C. Branson
is badly afflicted, but lie keeps up. He
went to Cartersville Monday. Mr. John
H. Harris is still suffering, but his friends
think he is better. Mrs. J. S. Goodwin is
still in a precarious condition. I am
sorry to have to give such a dark picture
as to the health of Kingston. The health

The importance of purifying the hlood can
not be overestimated, for without pure blood
you cannot enjoy good health.
At this season nearly every one needs a
good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich
the blood, and we ask you to try Hood's
Op p i iI i a r Sarsaparilla* It strengthens
r cLUIlai anu builds up the system,
creates an appetite, and tones the digestion,
while it eradicates disease. The peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation
of the vegetable remedies used give to
Hood s Sarsaparilla pecul- -i"_ u. if
iar curative powers. No * D IIS6IT
other medicine has such a record of wonderful
cures. If you have made up your mind to
buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to
take any other instead. It is a Peculiar

Considerable rain and hail Monday af

Our farmers are all very busy finishing
f heir crops. The recent heavy rains have
thrown them a little behind.
We notice in our midst .J. T. Edwards,

1 am glad to state that I was present
at (Tear Creek Sunday School picnic Sat
urday, and congratulate them on the se
lection of the ground. I was perfectly
carried away with the people and dinner,
and can say that they are truly a gener
ous-hearted people, and take a great deed
of interest in entertaining strangers. The
dinner was just as good and bountiful as
I ever saw. A person couldn't help but
enjoy himself among such people. We
wish them much success in their Sunday
school work. We’re sorry that Halls was
not any better represented than it was,
but business prevented. Hope that Clear
Creek will be well represented at our pic
nic on the MOth inst. Clear Creek has a
right to be proud of her pretty girls.
Many thanks to W. C. W. for his invi-.
tation to their singing, but-1 couldn't go
on account of a pet I have. Couldn’t
leave her, and was afraid to carry her
with me for fear she would go wild. I

The trite old saying that “misfortunes
never comes singly” is fully corroberated
in the case of Rev. Mr. Hillhouse, the be
loved pastor of the Presbyterian church
at this place. It was only a few weeks
ago his aged father passed over to the
majority alter a long life of usefulness,
and now on the heels of this great afflic
tion he is called to the bedside of his be
loved mother and younger brother.
Both died Monday in a few hours of each
other. Marcus, the young brother, was
2d years of age, a noble Christian and
when thegrimmonster beckoned he found
him ready to go. Mr. Hillhouse has the
condolence of our people in his sad be
reavement.
The Old Fraud Again
The Courant-Anierican has time ami
again noticed the wanderings of an old
female fraud. She has moved to pas
tures anew an we had about given up
hearing anything about her until we
find this telegram in one of our daily
exchanges:
Jackson, Tens., July 12.— A female
swindler beat a farmer of this county
out of several day's board, a fine neck
lace and other articles a few days since.
She represented herself as from St. Louis,
stated that her son was through here
last fall and took a fancy to the farmer’s
land, and she wanted to buy it. She
agreed to give a round price for the farm
and to farward the money on her return
home. She obtained the necklace from
the lady of the house to exchange for
more fasionable jewelry. She left the
impression that money was no object
with her and agreed to take the family
to Europe with her. They have not
heard from her since her departure. A
woman answering her description work
ed the same racket on a farmer near
Milan last week.
A week or so ago we noticed in one of
state exchanges a squib to the effect
that a committee was in pursuit of the
old fraud but had about given up the
chase.

A THRIVING BUSINESS.
Tlie Jones Carriage Factory Presents a
Good Showing.
Below will be found a eurd from the
R. H. Jones & Sons’ Manufacturing
Company, and from it it will be seen that
this large and thriving enterprise is
growing in importance as well as popu
larity. Such enterprises as this is what
builds up a community, and would we
had them scattered broadcast through
oat the land. The Stamp Creek depart
ment of this industry is growing; lately
some valuable and important machinery
has been added. Now the company can,
besides sellin a finely finished vehicle,
sell one in the rough, ready for the iron
of the blacksmiths. Considerable of this
material in the rough, ready for iron,
has been shipped to Florida, South Car
olina and parts of this state. It is a
growing industry, and one that we all
should feel pcoud of.
July Ist, 1887.
Messrs. Editors : We have just fin-*
ished our annual inventory and held our
stockholders’ meeting, elected officers,
enjoyed a nice little picnic at our Stamp
Creek works, and feel highly gratified at
being able to report all in good shape J
and greatly improved. We find the out- )
look for our business is better than it
has been at any time in the past three
years. Have not had at any one time
hajf so many as now —are full of them
now for months, which is always encour
aging to business men. We have had a
close, hard time, but we believe that day
has passed, we trust forever. We present
our claims to the community again, and
ask not for charity or patronage because
simply of local consideration, but upon
strictly business principles. If we can
give you vehicles as good and as cheap
as you can buy them in any market,
(and this we guarantee to do), we insist
that you give us the preference. Being
located here in your midst, fully iden
tified and in many ways beneficial
and serviceable in building up and sus
taining onr county, we think it proper to
say this much and express our thanks
for all past favors. Respeet’y,
It. H. Jones & Sons.

The Litigation Between Mrs. Cora M.
Gray, Miles G. Dobbins, J. J.
Howard and Others Settled
by Comprom'se.
Monday’s Atlanta Constitution.]
Judge Marshall J. Clarke has just ren
dered a consent decree in the litigation
between Mrs. F. P. Gray and C. 11.
Strong, administrator, M. G. Dobbins
and others, which settles nine heavy law
suits which have for a long time been
pending iu the federal ami state courts,
involving property to the value of
about $50,000.
This deem* was based upon a settle
ment brought about by the attorneys
interested.
The s iits originated in some business
transactions between the late Frank P.
Gray, M. G. Dobbins and J. J. Howard.
The first of these was the sale, by Gray,
of one-fourth interest in a cotton factory
at Adairsville in exchange for Howard's
plantation in Barton! county. Mr. Dob
bins sold to Mr. Gray the West End
property and agreed to take a perfect
title to the Howard plantation in part
payment. Dobbins took a mortgage on
the cotton factory as collateral security
for loaned money and bought a ft fa
issued by the Lowel Machine company
against the Cotton Factory company for
the purchase money of machinery. Since
the first suit was filed the suits have in
creased until there were nine settled by
this compromise.
these suits were:
J. J. Howard vs. F. P. Gray and Miles
G. Dobbins; Bartow superior court; bill
for revision of contracts of sale of the
Bartow company from and for the recov
ery of possessions.
Cora M. Gray vs. J. J. Howard A Sou ;
suit tor the recovery of notes —Bartow
superior court.
W. 11. Howard vs. F. I*. Gray, J. W.
Gray, Cora M. Gray, W. P. Inman, M. G.

ferred by L. E. Price to complaint and to
enforce an alleged trust and for injunc
tion.

('ora M. Gray vs. M. G. Dobbins, .T. J.

court of Fulton county to enjoin Dob
bins' suit on F. P. Gray's note for pur
chase of the West End residence and to
compel J. ‘J. Howard to .accept one
fourth interest in the cotton mill at
Adairsville, and to compel Dobbins to
accept the Wallace farm in Bartow
county.
Cora M. Gray vs. M. G. Dobbins, F. P.
Gray, et al. Bill in Putted States dis
trict court for the northern district of
Georgia to enjoin Dobbins from selling
the Adairsville cotton factory under the
Lowel machine company li fa. transfer

( ora M. Gray, vs. M. G. Dobbins, F. J*.
Cray et al. Bill irt the l-nited States* dis
trict court to enjoin the defendants from
selling one-half of the Adairsville cotton
factory claimed by complainant.
THE settlement.
When the attorneys saw this army of
litigation, they began ho think that
something should be done in the way of
effecting a settlement, or the property of
theii; clients would be eaten up by the
costs of the various courts. The"mat
ter was left to the attorneys, Colonel T.
\\ arren Akin, Messrs. Hoke and Burton
Smith, and ex-Judge John D. Cunning
ham, and last week the settlement was
brought about and the consent decree
rendered.
By the terms of the obit lenient, which
is signed by all parties to the litigation,
all the rases are dismissed at the costs of
complainants. Mrs. Gray surrenders
possession of the West End property to
Miles G. Dobbins, he giving her an op
tion, upon the property until July 15th
at $10,500. Howard takes possession
of the Wallace farm, he and Dobbins
dividing the rente for the present year.
Dobbins and Mrs. Gray execute to. each
other a quit claim deed to one-half inter
est in the Adairsville cotton factory.
Other minor details were arranged.

Dks Moixks, July 12. —Sheriff Boylan,
of Hardin couuty, writing to Governor
I.arabee, concerning the effect upon
criminal statistics of the enforcement of
the prohibitory law in that county, says
that five years experience in office, and
the records of tin* courts furnish sulli
cient evidence to convince him that pro
hibition is l ight, and that the liquor law
is as well enforced as any other criminal
law upon the statue books. One striking
effect has been to make a shortage of
SI,OOO per year in the sheriff"s office.
“But," says Mr. Boylan, “as 1 hear the
same complaint from most every sheriff
in the state, I console myself that 1 have
good company.”
“The open saloon in Hardin county is
not going, but lias gone. Men who used
to spend their week's wages at the saloon
for drink, and got trusted, if they could,
for their groceries, clothing, etc., and
most frequently never paid their bills;
or had their families supported by char
ity or the poor fund, when the wifi* and
mother could not earn food and clothing
for the children, now are sober and indus
trious, spend their money for their fami
lies, and are paying their debts. The
business men of Hardin county will cite
you many such instances in proof of my
statement, and declared that prohibi
tion is better than the saloon. Among
the farmers a large per cent, of the fore
closures of mortgages on real estate is
due to the fact that the mail of the
house has spent too much of his time
around drinking places. 1 have several
instances in mind iu which farmers used
to spend their nights at the saloon ca
rousing, that now go home sober, and
their farms look more homelike. The
records of the District Court make a
showing as regards crime that is sur
prising. In Hardin county:
The number of prosecutions for vio
lation of the liquor law under prohibi
tion is less tlmn under license.
The number of all criminal prosecu
tions under prohibition is less.
Then, as a consequence, jail commit
ments under prohibition are less,
The cash receipts from liquor law vio
lations for fines aud costs under prohibi
tion are greater.
The cost of prosecuting the liquor
dealers under prohibition is less.
