I have felt for some little time as if
some great attraction had been with

in our community. So deeply impressed
was I that something uncommon had
transpired, I began to enquire to try and

Alice Hawkins had been in Rome for
nearly two weeks, visiting friends. 1
realized what had been the matter, and
felt fully satisfied. 1 will try and keep up
with Aliss Alice’s whereabouts hereafter.
Miss' Mary Gibbons from California, a

morning. She was on her way to some
point in Arkansas, where she goes to
take charge of the musical department
of some college. Miss Gibbons has been
attending the Bartow Musical Conserva
tory for the last two years perfecting her
musical talent, both vocal and instrumen
tal. All who had the pleasure of hearing
her, are very lavish in their praises. Her
performance upon the piano was just
grand, playing -at the same time two
different pieces and all their variations,
with perfect accuracy, her singing was
perfectly enchanting, no matter which
style of singing she engaged in.
We w ish she could have staid longer,
so we all would have had the pleasure of
listening to her.
The latest style introduced by a young
getleman from Florida, is to go calling

boys suspect the old gentleman of
turning the mule loose. A gentle hint

in there that he could divert his atten

cautions were of no avail.

THE CITY FATHERS.
REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING OF
THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN A
VERY INTERESTING ONE.
They Make a 135 Appropriation for tlie
Piedmont, and in tie* Language of Mr.
Hillrarn, Will Trust to Providence
for Street Sprinkling.
Tuesday afternoon being regular
monthly meeting time of our city coun
cil. that august body assembled at that
time and proceeded to business with
Mayor NVilde in the chair and Aldermen
Collins, A. C. Williams, General Griffin, J.
C. Wofford, John Hilburn and G. H. Gil
reath being present.
The minutes of the former meeting
were read and adopted.
Col. M. R. Stausell appeared before the
body with a petition requesting the
opening of the street near his residence
running from Erwin street to the NV. &
A. railroad, and extending the same in a
westerly direction. He proposed that
interested citizens should pay half the
expenses of doing this work and the city
the other half. On motion, the matter
was referred to the street committee to
report at the next monthly meeting.
Judge Collins, pending the discussion of
renting the school buildings belonging to
the town —the NVest End Institute and
the Cartersville Institute —moved that
flie buildings hereafter lie given to the
teachers free of charge, provided they
keep them in thorough repair.
Mr. Griffin thought the question of
enough importance to lay over until the
next meeting to allow time to learn the
ideas of the people on the question and
to allow the discussion of it at a larger
meeting of the board, as a full board
was not present at this meeting. The
amendment was accepted and the ques
tion will come up for discussion at the
next meeting of the board.
the piedmont exposition.
On the part of the Bartow county com
mittee oil exhibits, Mr.George H. Aubrey
appeared before the body. He was be
fore it for the purpose of asking an ap
propriation from the city for the pur
pose of defraying, in part, the expenses
of making an exhibit of our resources
at the coming exposition and State fair.
He did not think it necessary to go into
detail as to the advisability of the dis
play, feeling assured that the honorable
body fully understood its importance.
Mr. Aubrey found th§ body in splendid
spirits and the unanimity of the board
in making a liberal appropriation is very
commendable indeed, and stamps the
gentlemen comprising the board as pos
sessing the spirit of progressiveness.
John Hilburn moved that an appropri
ation of SSO be made, John laboring
under the impression that that was all
the committee needed and was asking
for. John made some very commenda
ble remarks and showed that he was the
hustler that he was wont. He thought
that we never had a better opportunity
of exhibiting the resources of our section
ami county, a county that could not be
be beaten in the whole wide world. “Gen
tlemen,” he said, “let’s show to the world
vvliat we’ve got, let's get out of the old
i-uts and put our best foot forward, and
rather than Bartow county and Carters
ville not be in the lead at the exposition,
I'm in favor of giving the exhibit com
mittee all the money they ask for. Now
is our time to act and do not let the
committee of energetic gentlemen suffer
for one cent.”
Messrs. Gerald Griffin, Collins and NYil
liame made some remarks on the same
line, and on motion of Mr. Gilreath, the
appropriation was fixed at $125, Mr.
Aubrey thinking that was very liberal
and adequate. The board was in favor
of the appropriation to a man, the only
question arising was the amount neces
sary. The appropriation is handsome,
considering the hard times. This, in con
nection with the private subscription*
already made will puj new life into the
committee and the most beneficial re
mits are expected.
street sprinkling.
The drawing near of the great Taber
nacle meeting broaches the question of
purchasing a street sprinkler, to be used
during the meetings on the two roads
leading from the public square to the
Tabernacle grounds. The dust last
year was fearful and theeity fathers are
desiring means to escape it in the future.
Alderman Griffin has been in correspon
dence with a gentleman of Atlanta for
the-use of one or two. The gentleman
informs him that he can probably spare
one, at a cost of #25 and the expenses of
shipping.
The matter was discussed at length by
the board, and as the probability was the
sprinkler would be a single-horse one
and the dust would be too thick for it to
settle, it was decided to not accept the
Atlanta gentleman's offer. The water
supply was limited and with a small
sprinkler not much benefit could be de
rived. John Hilburn moved to “let the
sprinkler go and trust to the Lord for
rain.”
Chairman of street committee reported
that the month's expenditures on the
streets amounted to #250.
A sewer was ordered built under the
opera house building frOm the rear to
the public square—tlie owners of the
property bearing half the expense.
The city marshal reported the follow
ing amounts collected.
Fines #10.28
Stable license 20.00
Scales 7.40
Impounding stock 1.25
Dog tax 2.00
Street tax 20.50
Total #76.40
The opera house realized for the city
#1.75 for the month of August.

Office of Shaw A Bald wind's Wholesale!
Notion House, Toledo, 0., I)e<- 11,1879./
F. J. Cheney A Cos., Toledo, O.—Dear-
Sirs: About three months ago, noticing
ajetter addressed to you in the Bee from
Gen. Slevin, in reference to the cure of
his son by the use of Hall's Catarrh Cure,
we were induced to commence the use of
it tor our daughter Nellie now fourteen
years old, who has been suffering from
catarrh for about eight years, during
which time she has been treated by one
of the best physicians in the city. We
have also teied the use of almost all the
known remedies for catarrh, with no
more success than temporary relief.
Many nights have we laid awake to hold
her mouth open to keep her from strang
ling. Her hearing had also become affec
ted. We were afraid that she would
never recover. We have now used six
bottles of Hall's Catarrh Cure, and we
liclieve Nellie to be entirely cured. In a
few days after commencing the use of it
we noticed a decided change for the bet
ter. and from that right along she has
improved, until now she breaths as easily
ns any one. She sleeps well and her
hearing is jierfeetly good. NYe feel that
the disease is entirely removisl. NYe
write this unsolicited letter, feeling that
it is due you, and with the hope that
others may be benefitted in like manner.
NYe can hardly realize that such a change
could lie effected in so short a time
after battling with the disease so long.
NYe are still using the remedy at inter
vals. as it seetus to build up her system.
You are at lilierty to use this in any
manner you see proper.
We are yours, truly,
Mb. and Mrs. Baldwin,

THE OCHRE MILL.
Mr. Silva’s Enterprise Mov. s off Smoothly
anil Satisfactorily.
A Courant-American reporter had the
pleasure of a visit to the ochre mill just
put in operation by Air. A. P. Silva, at
the new Hightower warehouse. An 8-
liorse engine drives a large washer that
grinds the yellow looking dirt to fine par
ticles and sends it flowing in one contin
ual stream to the immense vats where
the ochre settles to the bottom. After
the stuff settles the clear water is drawn
off into the well to be used again, after
which the ochre is laid in one thick mass
over the huge drying furnace, the brick
of which absorb all dampness, leaving
the ochre comparatively dry and ready
for handling. It is then cut up into cakes
and laid on the drying shelves where it
thoroughly dries into a hard substance,
when it is ready for packing and ship
ping.
Air. Silva, in the operation of this mill,
employs considerable labor, both in
mining the crude material and preparing
jt for the market, thus proving a direet
benefit to the community. Small manu
facturers are the boon of all towns that
are fortunate enough to possess them.
The amount of money used in them is
small, while the investments always
prove perfectly satisfactory. NYe hope
to see others inaugurate anew industry
even if it is small, for it will grow, as Mr.
Silva's ochre mill will do. Small indus
tries are what we want and plenty of
them.
Reunion of the Veterans of the Old
23rd Georgia Regiment at Adairs
ville, on August 31st.
Avery pleasant occasion was that of
the reunion of the boys who wore the
gray in the 23rd Georgia regiment, who
met with us last AVednesday. Substan
tial friendship met each other in a hearty
welcome —tragedy and comedy were well
blended together. Then this glad day
was polished off by the young people’s
recognition of a good ripe, lively sweet
heart, who paired off and met each others’
hearts behind the palm leaf fan. NYe no
ticed this soldiery under march to din
ner in the hands of Air. NY. J. Hiilburn,
the marshal of the day, who managed
the men under him with military precision
and caution. AYlien all had assembled
in the park, prayer was fervently offered
by Chaplain AY. A. Dodge.
Air. E. B. Earle, in a few fitting re
marks, introduced Col. H. I). Capers,
who delivered the address of welcome in
elegant and appropriate sentiments. Mr.
Hugh Colquitt then followed in his liapi
est efforts and patriotic reminders to his
fellow-countrymen. Impromptu speeches
were then delivered, one after the other,
grape and canister style, full of wit and
wisdom, which amused the audience
hugely. Among these speakers we must
allude to Mr. Harrison Black, old and
feeble, who said as he was never married
he was a bachelor, and was thankful to
see so many ladies out. Dinner was
served and we met the enemy face to face
not on the field of battle at the cannon’s
mouth, but on the broad grounds of a
sumptuous repast where everyone en
joyed freedom and hospitality. After
dinner our citizens took care of their

the meeting.

round trip tickets at one fare at all of its

A Handsome Drug Store.
The improvements that have been
made in the already handsome drug
tore of J. It. Wikle & Cos., cannot fail to
attract those that happen in that neigh
borhood and call forth great admira
tion. Charlie Wikle, the manager, has
been hard at work, with his assistants,
for several days, and they, together
with the painters have completely trans
formed things, until now there are fewer
prettier or more tastily arranged estab
lishments of its kind in this section. Ele
gant new show cases have been put in
place, besides other furniture. M hile
both interior and exterior have receive!
careful attention from the painter. ( liar
lie is bestirring himself for a good fall
and winter business, and we can t see
with his indomitable energy and splen
did business qualifications how he can

Associate Justice Simmons.
The election for associate justice of the
supreme court, to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Judge Hall, came off
yesterday in the legislature. The can
didates for the position were Judges
Hook, of Augusta, Simmons, of the
Macon circuit, and (’lark, of the Pataula
circuit. The election resulted in the suc
cess of Judge Simmons, on the second
ballot. The selection is eminently a fit
ting one. It is the promotion of a
learned jurist, an upright and impartial
judge.
Judge Simmons was the almost unani
mous choice of the people of Barrow
county for tlie position, among the can
didates in the field. On several occa
sions he has presided in our sujierior
court, and his ability as a
judge, the accuracy of his decisions,
and the rapidity with which he dispatch
ed business, and his uniform courtesy,
greatly impressed our people and won
their admiration aud esteem, and they
rejoice at his elevation. He will make a
wise and just judge, and do honor to
Georgia’s supreme tribunal.

Miss Kendrick, in Chattooga county was

not the one that did it. John no doubt
breathes easier. He wrote a column and
a half article in which he laid it onto
Haggard, the so-called detective that
arrested him.
