Py referring to our legal advertise ments it will be seen that a very valua ble piece of property is for sale —the Heazle.v property near Kingston. It is valuable and no doubt will bring a good price. Mr. Jim Wahlrip, who farms near town is a champion watermelon raiser. He gathered from his patch five of the deli cious fruit that weighed 297 pounds. There are plenty of them that weigh for ty and fifty pounds. The young ladies of Kingston will give a festival next Tuesday night to which our people are cordially invited. The proceeds derived from the festival w ill go towards painting the Methodist parsonage at Kingston. The East and West will be made stand ard gunge to Cedartown at once, and the whole line w ill eventually be made so. The extension to Pell City was made w ide enough and cross ties laid w ith a view to widen the gauge. Nelson Bowman, a colored farmer near Stilesboro, sent through Mr. W. E. Puck ett, of that town, the lirst boll of new cot ton to this office. The staple is open ing, and ere many weeks it will be hauled to market. Many thanks to the clever street com mittee are hereby tendered by the citi zens of Gilmer street for the excellent work that is being done on that thor oughfare. East Cartersville is beginning to have proper attention in the matter of streets. One of the jolliest picnicking parties of the season, was the one that visited SaltPetre cave, last Thursday. They started with the deliberate intention of having a gay time, and it is certain, that not a single number of the party was disappointed. John Taylor, tlic old reliable and most efficient, has taken in a partner in the management of the St. James barber shop. J. W.

Calhoun, the clever and efficient general freight and passenger jigent of the East and West, left for Birmingham Monday, and remained until yesterday. The connection of his r.md with the Georgia Pacific opens up a new line and it was to establish rates that he went to Birmingham. We look for a decided inqietus to the mining in terests of this section under the new or der of things. Eagle and Phienix Cottonades, fast colors, and,Georgia Kerseys at Montgomery’s. AH, THERE, BIRMINGHAM! THE “MAGIC CITY” AND CARTERS VILLE, TWO GREAT IRON ( EN TERS, BOUND TOGETHER WITH BANDS OF STEEL. 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. -r JNotice to Coal Dealers. There is a rumor afloat that 1 am out of the coal business. I wish to inform my natrons and friends that this report is without foundation whatever. I shall continue to handle the very best grades of coal this season at the lowest prices. Yours for Coal, It Bartow Leake. 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 Brumby and Stella Smith; Frank Wal lace and Maud Overby; John Skinner and Wena Mitchell; Miles Dobbins and Annie AYaddell; Henry Milner and Lula Shepherd.

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. \Vm. 11, Cooper.

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. One AA'ho Knows. The Fair Committee. The fair committee met at the opera house Saturday and transacted some 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 tions from our people to defray the ex penses of the exhibit. Let every one re spond liberally, for never was a better opportunity to present our section in a good light before tlx* world. AA'e have the resources and now let us make a proper display of them.

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. — If you would secure a bargain in cloth ing now is the golden opportunity, for we are determined to close out this branch of our business, and they must go within the next thirty days regardless of price. Glenn Jones. 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 science and English in Centenary Female Cpllpge, at Cleveland, Tenn., preached two powerful sermons at the Presbyte rian church last Sunday. He also deliv 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 ion upon the large congregations that heard him. He is a speaker of rare force and eloquence, possessing many of the ; elements of the great orator. Fare to Acworth, I am authorized by Air.

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. ADAIRSVILLE. Miss Clara Boynton, of Atlanta, is spending a sojourn among us, the guest of Miss Annie Yeach. Mrs. Wood has with her Mr. Thomas Avre and family, of Lake Weir, Fla., who spends the summer here. M isses Julia and Leona Hunt are vis iting Mrs. Dr. Hambright. Miss Effie Roberts, of Cartersville, is with Dr. Thos. Johnson. Mr. S. (’. Pritchard and family are stopping with Mr. B. F. Bibb. Mrs. Emma Benson is a guest of Mr. Penn. A goodly number of our populace vis ited Salem church last Sunday. The railroad was accommodating enough to let the passengers off near the church. Passers by will be attracted by the glistening sign, appropriately lettered, gt the drug store of Dr. Thos. Johnson. 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.

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.
