The Hast *S: West Kail road Coni*
pletes its Extension to Pell
City-Aii Important Event
for this Section.
All aboard for Birmingham !
The Carfersvillian can now get aboard
an East & West train in the early morn
and land in Birmingham, the “Magic
City” of the South, in a very few hours,
undergoing only one change of cars on'
the trip.
This is an auspicious event in the his
tory and material progress of this sec
tion, brought about by the long talked
of extension of the East and West Rail
road of Alabama, of which Capt. Join
Posted is vice president and general
manager, and under whose su|>ervising
care and excellent management the road
lms seen its most prosjierous times, ant;
whose future actions in operating the
road will augur no little for the develop
ment and welfare of the fine section
through which it traverses.
THE EXTENSION
of the East and West Railroad between
Broken Arrow and Pell City, on the
Georgia Pacific, was completed Monday
and the first engine hauled up alongside
the Georgia Pacific track. This work,
taking into consideration the many dis
advantages under which it was done, has
been pushed through in a remarkably
short time. The wet, spell retarded op
erations considerably, and if this had
not been contended with the extension
would have been finished several weeks
ago.
This connection will prove of inestima
ble importance to the country along the
line of the road, as well as this whole
section, giving, as it does, an outlet to
Birmingham and
THE CHEAT CITIES OF THE WEST.
Passing along down the East and West
railroad, the 1 raveler or prospector can
not fail to be impressed with the rnag
nifieent country through which it trav
erses, uml if takes easy pionhesying to
picture out for if a most glorious future.
On every hand, at every turn, something
new is revealed. From the large linn*
works of A. C. Ladd, a mile or so from
town, to the" coaling fields of Broken
Arrow, the road passes through forests
of as fine timber, pine and the hard
woods, as can be found on the continent.
Its ties can safely be said lie on one
vast
llEn OF MINE HAG WEALTH,
which decades of the most thorough
mining and most liberal use of money
will fail to deplete of its riches, or even
make an impression as for that matter.
The iron ores of this section are far
famed, but have been shut out, from the
western markets by reason of the neces
sary long haul; they are of the finest,
ami the new outlet will place them in
greater demand.
All along the line there are abundant
deposits of manganese ores, limestone,
roofing slate, marble and coal, which
will now come into demand on account
of the new egress to Birmingham and
tlx* western markets, that have hereto
fore been “bottled up” on account of the
ruinous rates necessary to long hauling.
They are now in easy distance.
Tin* road will no doubt at once rush
into a vast amount of increased busi
ness, and its present carrying capacity
will be taxed to its fullest extent. In tlx*
meantime our grand section is being de
veloped and will soon blossom into a
garden of wealth and stand prominently
in front as one of the great mineral cen
ters of the country. In a few years the
fondest dreams of the most sanguine
will have l*en realized. We have the re
sources and too much cannot bo said of
them. They need no coloring of glitter
ing words, but stand out in their own
prominence that cannot fail to arrest
the attention of the stream of wealth
that is flowing into the South,
The new management of the East and
West railroad fully appreciate this fact,
and to the clever gentlemen that com
pose the management, and especially'
to (’apt. John Posted, are our people
deeply indebted for the great change
that is now and will soon take place.
They deserve and are receiving the
thanks of our whole people in their
efforts to bring our section to tlx* front,
and, by making the extension, thus giv
ing an outlet for our products and an
ingress for the products of the West.

A Delightful Deception.
The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. B.
M. Pattillo was the event, on Thursday
evening, the -till inst., of festivity and
mirth, graced by the beauty and gallant
ry of the belles and beaux of Cartersville.
It was the occasion of a delightful recep
tion, complimentary to Miss Tharpe
and Misses Fannie and Minnie Baldwin,
of Madison, who received and entertain
ed their guests in such a graceful and
charming manner that the evening was
one of rare and exquisite pleasure to all
present. The floral decorations were
elaborate and artistic. The entire house
hud been transformed into an “Eden of
flowers,” and bare walls made to “blos
som as the rose." The grounds were il
lumined with Chinese lanters, and pre
sented a scene of rare beauty. At eleven
o’clock the dining hall, which was the
real “beauty spot"’ of the place, was
thrown open. The supper was elegant
in the extreme. One of the most enjoy
able features of the evening was the cut
ting for the ring. A mammoth cake had
bet'n prepared, and each guest made his
or her cut for the much coveted ring.
The issue was finally settled in favor of
Miss Tharpe. Following is a list of the
guests:
Miss Tharpe, Misses Fannie and Min
nie Baldwin, Madison; Joe Moon and
Mamie Norris; Walter Akerman and Em
mie Norris; Toni Trammell and Eloise
Owens; Doug. Wikle and Annie Stansell:
Ben Akerman and Marion Smith; Jake

The Chautauqua C role for 1887-8.
The month of October begins anew
year in this course of study, and I am
anxious to induce as large a number of
our young and middle-aged people to
take part in it as possible. I believe the
past year, closing with June, was gener
ally admitted to be a decided success;
certainly tlx* books we read were inter
esting and profitable, and tlx* meetings
exceedingly pleasant.
The following comprise the studies for
the past year, and will be again the
studies for 1890-91 : “English History,
English Literature, English Composi
tion, Astronomy, Pedagogney, Beading
from French Literature, Social Ques
tions.”
The following is tlx* list for the next
year, commencing with October: “Amer
ican History, American Literature, His
tory and Literature of tlx* far East.
Physiology and Hygiene, Culture, Home
Life and Manners, Religious Literature.”
In addition to the books to be read,
each member takes the Chautauqua
Journal, a monthly magazine of great
value and interest. It has been our cus
tom to meet every two weeks, and in a
sort of examination conducted by the
president of the Circle, to review the
studies of the two previous weeks.
It can be easily seen that the work
promises to lie entertaining and profita
ble. That if is profitable, is evident
from the fact that only about forty-five
minutes each day are necessary to keep
up with the required reading. There are
many persons who have some leisure,
and who, though not able to pursue a
college course, have a desire to pursue
systematically somecourse of study that
will develop their mental faculties, and
keep them abreast of the best thought
of the age. To all such, the Chautauqua
course comes as a benediction. Its course
of study is the result of many years’
careful thought on the part of some of
the wisest philanthropists of the day,
and I can heartily recommend it to all
who have not carefully examined it for
them sel vet.
The entire cost for the next year, in
cluding registry for the Journal and all
books to be had, is only $0.85. Last
year we were hindered by beginning late.
This year we desire to have all our books
by the middle of September, and begins
work promptly on the Ist of October. I
shall be glad to give further information
to any who may think of joining us in
this work, and will save all trouble to
such by forwarding money for Journal
and the necessary books.

Disorderly Conduct at Churclies.
For the benefit of those persoifs who
have or may hereafter congregate around
the church doors, to the disturbance of
tli ose attending divine service, we would
civil attention to the following ordinance
of the city of Cartersville:
“NO person or persons shall congregate
in and around any church in the city of
Cartersville, either before, after or during
divine service, in such a disorderly or
rude manner as to become and be offen
sive and disturbance to those attending
such church. And it shall be unlawful
for any person or persons to be engaged
in smoking, loud talking or laughing iff
or near the entrance or vestibule of any
church in this city during divine worship.
Any person or persons violating this or
dinance, on conviction before the Mayor,
shall be fined in a sum not more that fif
ty dollars, or be confined upon the public
works not less than one nor more than
thirty days, or both, at the discretion of
the court”
AAhile there are but few persons in Car
tersville to whom this ordinance will ap
ply—to those rude boys who make a bus
iness of violating this ordinance, we
would say to them that the authorities
mean to enforce it to the letter.

Editors Cocran't-Amkrican : l notice
in your last issue that you state that
“tlx* |x>!ition asking the pardon of
Carey I'enley was presented to tlx* Gov
ernor by Major A. M. Foute. to who
Carey is largely indebted for his lilierty."
Your informant very greatly misled you
in this matter. I cannot say whether he
intended to mislead you and the publiir
or not. Mr. Foute did present, to the
Governor a petition for the pardon of
Carey Penley some time last vear, so I
am told, but the truth is tliat the Gov
ernor finally refused to grant the pardon
l on the application presented by Mr.
I Foute. Mr. Foute did not present, the
application to tlx* Governor on which
1 Carey Penley was finally pardoned, nor
j did he take any part in getting up this
application, except to sign his name to
it. It was the untiring energy and zeal
of Mr. James B. Conyers, who got the
]s*tition and presented it to the Governor
on which Carey Penley was pardoned,
which Judge Xisbctt, the private secre
tary of the Governor, and Col. John B.
Towers, principal keeper of the peniten
tiary, will verify if asked. Mr. Conyers
was assisted by Senator A. P. AA’offord
and Hon. Mark A. Hardin, clerk of the
House of Representatives. Justice de
mands that this much be said.

The Fair Committee.
The fair committee met at the opera

very important business. The meeting
was lively and every one seemed to be
imbued with the proper spirit.
On motion, the chairman ofthecentral
committee was requested to appoint B.
.Al. Pattillo to represent Bartow county
at the exposition.
On motion. Messrs. Aubrey and Alc-
Cormick were appointed to assist Mr.
i Pattillo in taking charge of the interests
I of Bartow county at the exposition.
On motion. Mr. J. T. Lumkiu was ap
; pointed as an assistant to .Air. Pattillo
at the exposition.
The chairman appointed Capt. I). AY.
K. Peacock, M. G. Dobbins, Maj. C. H.
Smith and G. H. Aubrey as a committee
on finance and literature. This commit
tee was given power to add to their
number.
On motion .Air. 11. J. McCormick was
employed to canvass the county for the
purpose of getting up contributions to
the exhibit.
A number of contributions were re
ported. The meeting adjourned to meet
next Saturday.
A committe is now soliciting contribu

penses of the exhibit. Let every one re
spond liberally, for never was a better
opportunity to present our section in a

A Gay l’arty.
The elegant country home of Captain
and .Airs. T. ,T. Lyon on tlx* Etowah, is
just now the scene of unbounded gayety
and mirth. The clever Captain and his
estimable lady are entertaining as joy
ous a company of ladies that ever went
out to have a good time. The young
ladies are, Miss Lula Goldsmith, of Miss..
Miss Anna Meador, of Stone Mountain,
Alisses Lillie, Mauri and Mamie Gold
smith, of Atlanta. Miss Lou Malone, of
Calhoun, Misses Ida and Genie Gold
smith, of Atlanta, and Mrs. Cora
M. Gray and daughter, of Atlanta,
are also with the party. To say that an
immense time is being had by the ladies
would hardly express it. Capt. and Airs.
Lyon will see to it that their company
will have a sojourn “in the country”
they will not soon forget, and impress
upon them the fact that old Bartow is
hard to beat for genuine hospitality and
fun.
A Darkey Shot.
Jim AYaldrip, the watermelon raiser,
heard some one in his patch of water
melons one night last week. Grabbing
up a gun lie succeeded in getting to the
scene of disturbance just as a darkey
was making way with some of his finest
melons. A heavy load of birdshot was
fired into the darkey, who immediately
dropped the fruit and began putting in
some lively licks for the shore of safety.
That same night a colored man by the
name of Jim Conyers brought up at his
home with a liberal sprinkling of bird
shot over the left portion of his phys
ique. He told his wife and family that
he had boe*h fighting with another dar
key near the lime kiln. It is suspected
that Jim’s fondness for Mr. AA'alilrip’s
celebrated watermelons brought about
the load of birdshot.

A Sail Death.
Stilesboro and the Seventeenth district
have been greatly saddened by the death
of Mrs. Henry 1). Cunyus, which occur
red at her home at Stilesboro last Thurs
day morning, after a brief illness. Six*
had been untiring iu her attention to her
sick babe for several weeks and it is
thought that the severe strain attend
ing its illness conduced to her sudden
death. The lady had hardly been pre
pared for burial ere the spirit of the
sweet babe followed that of its mother
to the home above. Airs. Cunyus was a
daughter of Air. B. T. Leeke, of Euhar
lee, and was a most excellent lady. The
bereaved ones have the sympathy of a
large circle of friends.
A Flue Sermon.
Rev. J. R. Stuart, professor of natural

two powerful sermons at the Presbyte

ered a most interesting and impressive
talk to the children at the Methodist
church in the afternoon. Mr. Stuart is
a young divine of much ability, and his
sermons made a most favorable impress

heard him. He is a speaker of rare force
and eloquence, possessing many of the ;
elements of the great orator.

The warm wave lias struck us with
such lorn* that everybody uses the word
“hot” to ex ]tress their opinion.
Mr. and Mrs. Crenshaw, who have
been recruiting at Mrs. C.'s father’s, have
sufficiently recuperated to again strike
out for themselves.
Mr. Crofton. after looking around, has
decided to locate at Acworth. We regret
to give him up, and Acworth can con
gratulate herself upon capturing him.
Mr. John Gibbons came up from Home
-Saturday evening. We are sorry that
his'bnsiness was so pressing as to require
his return on Monday.
Miss Lida Saxon is still visiting friends
in Burke county. I understand she is
having a huge time. We all exjsvted
her home before campmeeting. She cer
tainly cannot have forgotten the most
delightful ride, behind the dashing gray,
where the young gentleman so politely
allowed her to hold the ribbons, while he
was pressing her so earnestly to answer
a certain question.
Mrs. Best and daughter spent last
Tuesday at I)r. Battle's and Tuesday
night with Mrs. Iriek.
On Tuesday last all the young people
spent the day with Miss May Battle.
They came to celebrate her birthday,
and they certainly had a jolly time.
Some of the older neighbors were also
present to console Dr. and Mrs. Battle.
We had a splendid dinner, as all present
can testify.
Miss Hattie and Leila Weems, Lillie
Montgomery, Bettie Pittard and May
Battle spent Tuesday night at J. Her
ring's.
Miss Sarah Veach. from Orlando, Fla.,
accompanied by her niece, Miss Annie
Yeacli, from Adairsville, spent W ednes
day night at J. C. Herring's.
Miss Hattie Weems, from Rome, re
turned to her home on Friday last.
Bi n. White eommeneed his meeting at
Best’s on Saturday. On Sunday he
preached an able sermon upon keeping
vows. He presented the subject in such a
light that a great many Methodists were
made to feel very uncomfortable. It was
just such a sermon as all Methodist con
gregations should hear. It would awaken
them to a sense of the obligations they
took when they joined the church. The
meeting will close on Wednesday night,
as Bro. White has been ordered to the
Pinelog campmeeting.
Rev. Yeiser, (col,) from your town,
preached the funeral of old l tide Jerry
Henderson, at Mt. Zion, on Sunday eve
ning, to a large congregation. A great
many of his white friends were present,
and I must say, I never saw a white con
gregation more favorably impressed by
a colored preacher, lie is really a fluent
speaker, uses good language, and is per
fectly at ease in the pulpit. Ile gave his
colored hearers some of the best advice
1 ever heard from one of their own race.
He is truly a southern negro, nml told
them he knew from experience that the
south was the best pluce for them; that
the southern people were their best
friends. He advised them to so conduct
themselves as to form a character for
truth and uprightness; when they lost
their character they lost all. It would
take up too much of your valuable space
to try to enumerate the many good
things he told them. Your town is to be
congratulated for having a divine that
gives such good advice to the colored
people among you. They cannot help
but be benefitted by coming in contact
with him. Crofton.

A goodly number of our populace vis

let the passengers off near the church.
Passers by will be attracted by the
glistening sign, appropriately lettered,

The mortar is of bronze, and is u credit
to Adairsville.
Dr. Battey, of Rome, and Drs. Brad
ley and King, of this place, performed a
successful surgical operation on John
Pavoloski last week. Though losing
such a useful member of the body as a
leg, and suffering such intense agonies,
his many friends ho{>e to see him recover
soon.
Ground has been given for the erection
of a ( 'atholic church here.
AA’e would like to see the profiles as
made out by the engineers of the R. & I),
railroad over this route. There is no
faith in this road leaving Rome by any
route, as long as the country is bluffed
off by the intent of its president to com
mence every two weeks or more to sur
vey this line.
Mr. Jack Slat-ton, the cleverest con
ductor that ever signaled a train, is
spending vacation among his friends.
Though there have been agents here
talking up other county papers from a
distance, The Courant-American occu
pies a front seat in popularity and sub
scribers, with a host of outside readers.
We take it for granted that the 23rd
Ga. Regiment, which is said to meet here
the 31st, will charge our town without
giving us notice to vacate —we are
making no preparations to either receive
the enemy or to run. A M C

HALES*MILLS.
The past two weeks have been of gr eat
interest among ns. Prof. Gwinn has
been carrying on a singing school here.
The young folks took a great deal of in
terest in it and had a most enjoyable
time. It wound up last Friday with a
nice picnic, a large and attentive crowd
being present, both at the table and at
the singing. There were two prizes of
fered by the teacher —one to the best
singer that had never taken lessons be
fore and one to the best singer who had
taken lessons before. I*. L. Brownlow
won the first one and AY. H. Sherman
the other. All seemed to enjoy them
selves, and the whole day passed
off in a most enjoyable manner. We
vouchsafe to say that the school will be
a great advantage to our community.
I heard one person say “that if it didn't
do any more good, it had made about
half-a-dozen matches among the young
folks.” If such be the case, I consider it
has done a great deal of good. I don't
blame some people for taking such an
interest in singing schools. I was about
to forget to state that there were essays
read Friday by Misses Sallie Clemmons
and Fannie Seals, the former upon
“Flowers" and the latter upon “Music.”
There was also a speech by AV. M. Hol
land upon “Scholars’ Mission.”
Mr. Joe Barnett, of Kingston, is put

KINGSTON.
Since my last report three of our citi

Capt. J. F: Hardin died ia Atlanta, where

On the 9th inst. H. R. ’Towers died,
after four days of great suffering, and
was interred on the 10th. He left every
evidence of his preparation to depart.
He was a worthy member of the Baptist
church. His funeral was preached by
Rev. AV. H. I)yar, assisted by Rev. AA r . R.
Tuggle, of the Baptist church, and Rev.
J. M. White, of the Methodist church,
much could be said of his triumphant
death. He leaves a wife and three chil

in Kingston cemetery. She was con
scious to the last, and bid her husband
and little son, father, mother, brothers,
sisters and friends in the room, farewell,
and exhorted them to meet her in Heav
en. She called her father John Murchi
son, and told him that she could not see
him —could only see Jesus—she was pass
ing through the dark valley and shadow
of death. Only a few minutes before her
spirit took its flight she waved her hand
to her bereaved loved ones. She was a
member of the Baptist church, lived as a
Christian liveth and died as a Christian
dieth. The entire community are in
great sympathy with tho three bereaved
families. With our great sorrow and
trials we have cause of great rejoicing on
account of the victorious deatli of our
friends.
A protracted meeting was begun at the

Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Is a peculiar medicine, and Is carefully pre
pared by competent pharmacists. The com
bination and proportion of Sarsaparilla, Dan
delion, Mandrake, Yellow Dock, and other
remedial agents is exclusively peculiar to
Hood's Sarsaparilla, giving it strength and
curative power superior to other prepa
rations. A trial will convince you of its
great medicinal value. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Purifies the Blood
creates and sharpens the appetite, stimulates
the digestion, and gives strength to every
organ of the body. It cures the most severe
cases of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Boils, Dimples,
and all oilier affections caused by impure
blood, Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Headache,
Kidney and Liver Complaints, Catarrh Bheu
niatism, and that extreme tired feeling. 4
“ Hood's Sarsaparilla lias helped me more
for catarrh and impure blood than anything
else I ever used.” A. Ball, Syracuse, N. Y.
Creates an Appetite
“ I used Hood's Sarsaparilla to cleanse my
blood and tone up my system. It gave me a
good appetite and seemed to buiM me over.”
E. M. Hale, Lima, Ohio. *
“ I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla for cancerous
humor, and it began to act uulike anything
else. It cured tlie humor, and seemed to
tone up the whole body and give me new
life.” J. F. Nixon, Cambridgeport, Mass.
