BRAVO FOR BARTOW!
The Gnaul Old Iroti-R filled
County Will Show Up in
Great Shape.
S v*ral Car l oads of the Finest Ore* and
Agricultural Product* Shipped to
the Piedmont Exposition.
Old Bartow has done well. She will,
with her many and great resources, show
up in great shape at the Piedmont ex
position next Monday, there to bedazzle
the prospector, charm the capitalist,
make glad the hearts of home-seekers
and make the Bartow people swell their
breasts with just pride. The display,
though it may be short iri a few things,
caused by some slight misunderstanding,
will loom as a whole eminently satis
factory.
It was slow work, indeed, when the
idea was first proposed to make an ex
hibit, but the brave spirits that took the
matter in hand determined that the
croaking of a few mossbacks should not
defeat such a worthy cause. 'The city
came forward with a nice appropriation,
which was handsomely supplemented by
a subscription. Ample funds have been
secured to make the display. The work
has been done’by very few, the balance
of the people being willing that the
matter should lie left in those hands,
knowing that full credit would lie done.
Messrs. George 11. Aubrey and Henry J.
McCormick have fought, bled and died
over the cause; it has been their aim in
daytime and thesourceof their dreams at
night. They have worked in and out of
seiison, sometimes under the most dis
couraging circumstances. They kept on,
however, until all will exclaim when they
see the exhibit that they have nobly suc
ceeded. To these gentlemen Bartow
owes a debt of gratitude that will be
hard to pay. True, the people have
come forward with their money, but
these gentlemen did an immense amount
of work that money could not do.
One car of our exhibit was loaded
Saturday afternoon. Immense boulders
of iron, manganese, baryta, and others,
with barrels upon barrels of the finest
manganese, nearly filled the car. The
different woods in all shapes were there.
Almost every mineral known to metallurgy
was there in great quantity and the finest
quality—slate, marble, etc. Monday
another car was filled with monstrous
ears of corn, big squashes that would
make a ruralistie member of the Georgia
legislature split his countenance from ear
to ear, bags of fine apples, bales of hay,
fodder, etc. —everything that goes to
make life worth living. These two cars
do not constitute old Bartow’s exhibit.
The several cars of the Etowah property
will be there, besides several cars of other
companies.
All in all, we will not be ashamed of our
exhibit. The Seventeenth district fur
nishes nearly all the agricultural products,
all the other districts furnishing some
thing except Cassville. The good people
of Cassville failed, to come to the front
with her usual promptness. A two horse
wagon, in charge of two gentlemen paid
that neighborhood a visit Monday. The
wagon returned safe and sound, though
empty. The people of old Cassville will
regret their lukewarmness, which we
cannot explain only from their expec
tancy of the Rome and Decatur Railroad.
They are probably waiting for it and
when it comes we know every citizen will
constitute himself a boomer. We’ll excuse
the good people of Cassville this time,
but they must not do it'again.
If would take columns to call over the
articles sent down, but we will assure the
people that they will not be disappointed
when they go down to the exposition
next week.

Wikle’s Drug Store.

Bartow’s Registration Law.
The acf to authorize and require the
registration of all voters in Bartow
county, has passed both branches of the
Legislature, and is now a law. Hereafter
for a man to enjoy the privilege of voting
in this county, lie must first have regis
tered, as prescribed by the provisions of
this act.
The act makes it the duty of the Tax
Collector of the county, when he opens
his books for the collection of taxes for
each year, to open at the same time a
hook in which he shall register, as they
severally pay their taxes, the names of
all persons qualified as legal voters of
said county, in other respects than as to
the payment of taxes. The names of
such voters shall be entered in said book
in alphabetical order and by militia dis
tricts, the white voters and the colored
voters being kept separate. The act also
prescribes penalties lor the violation of
the same.
Tax Collector Linn will begin to register
voters immediately upon his entering
upon the collection of this year's taxes..
We regret that a lack of space will pre
vent giving our readers a full synopsis of
this important bill, this week, but we will
at another time.
The bill is an admirable one, and its
provisions can be carried out without
any inconvenience to the voter, and will
prove a great protection at elections in
the way of preventing illegal voting, be
sides saving much time that is usually
consumed in challenging votes.
Maj. A. M. Foute deserves the thanks
of the good people of the eonnty tor
drafting and engineeringthis bill through
the Legislature.

“You can tell the public that the East
and West railroad makes close connec
tion with the Georgia Taeifie at Tell
City now, and a person can board
our train at Cartersville at 10 a. m. and
land in Birmingham at 8 in the evening,”
remarked Mr. J. J. Calhoun, the untiring
freight and passenger agent of the East
mid West railroad to a Courant Ameri
can reporter.
“Well, isn’t that quicker 1 han by any
other route?” queried the reporter.
“Yes, by several hours. Heretofore, if
a Cartersvillmn wished to go to Birming
ham he would have to rise at 4 o’clock
in the morning, a most unseasonable
hour, has to go by Atlanta, where he will
have to lay over, and will not reach his
destination until after 8 o'clock at night.
The distance is considerable and is going
much out of the way; and last, not least,
and what proves as a balm to every
traveler's pocket-book, the cost of the
trip is some two or three dollars less.”
“How is business since the completion
of the extension?”
“The business of the road has increased
wonderfully—beyond all expectancy, and
beyond the ability of our proper handling
with our present number of engines and
cars. The road is rushed, and all hands
are working hard. We need more
cars, which we will have shortly, to
handle our increased business. Car load
after car load of lumber and ores are
scattered along the track awaiting ship
ment. The beauty of the business is the
fact that the country through which our
road runs is new and is just in its infancy
as to development. It is rapidly coming
to the front*, and ere many mouths the
road, which will then in all probability
be made standard gauge, will have all it
can do. We get a great many cars already
from the Talladega and Coosa \ alley
road, most of which are of lumber and
destined to Chattanooga, the best lum
ber market in the south. Thesecarspass
right through Cartersville, and thus they
pass over the entire length of our road,
giving ns the most to be desired object,
the long haul.”
“Then the prospects of the road are
fine?”
“They were never better, and if it keeps
up at the present rate it will more than
come up to the fondest expectations of
its able manager, Captain Tostell, uho
has his work well in hand and is rushing
it for all it is worth. The road-bed and
track has been pretty well overhauled,
and is now in excellent condition. All
we want now is more cars and engines to
haul the freight that is now anxiously
awaiting us.”
Those interested in mining in this com
munity, who ship largely to Birmingham,
will be glad to learn that the old $1.60
rate that has been heretofore charged by
other railroads, has been scaled by the
East and West, and now that road pro
poses to haul the ore to Birmingham for
$1 a ton. This is only one of the many
benefits our people will derive from the
plucky little East and West.
We sell the old reliable 1847 Rogers
Bros. Knives, Forks and Spoons, the
ver- T best goods known to the trade.

Mr. J. A. Barker, of Cartersviile, filled

GRASSDALE.
Our little dale has been in quite a stir
for the last week. We have had a gay
crowd of young ladies among us for one
whole week. Even if we are getting old
we do enjoy these visits of the young
ladies, and only wish they were more
frequent. There has been so many and
so much visiting, chat should I happen
not to tell it just right, I hope all par
ties will excuse me. Misses Lillie Gilreath
and Allice Renfroe came to Mr. Hawkin’s
on Monday. Tuesday, they with the
Misses Hawkin’s spent the day with the
Misses Gibbons. Wednesday the crowd
spent the day at Mrs. Weems’. Miss
Alleen Best was phen added to the party.
Mr. Albert Weems, accompanied by Miss
Mamie Woodruff, from Gordon county,
were also at Mrs. Weems. Albert went
home on Thursday, leaving Miss Mamie,
who will spend some time with the Misses
Weems.
Miss Dulah Weems, from Rome, is vis
iting Mrs. Weem’s family. This is the
old home of Miss Dulah, she has many
relatives around here. Miss Dulah was
quite young when she left our midst.
She has grown into such a young lady
as no neighborhood would be ashamed
to own.
On Friday Misses Lillie Gilreath, Alice
Renfroe, Anna Cox, Lida Saxon, Emma
Hawkins, May Battle and Alleen Best,
spent the day with Mrs. Herring, also
Mr. Will Battle.
On Friday night all the young ladies
took supper with Miss May Battle. After
supper the neighbor boys came in and
were reinforced by Sam Jones, from Cass
ville, and Robert Renfroe. 1 guarantee
a gayer or better looking crowd of young
people could not be found in any other
community. The amusements were many
and varied. Some couples promenading,
some setting on the fence looking into
the placid water of the fish pond, I sup
pose trying to see a fish, others see-saw
ing-, etc., etc. It was such a lovely moon
light night that a boy must be devoid of
all sentiment, if when he found himself
alone with a fair one, he did murmur
sweet talk to her. The young ladies
nowadays expect to hear this kind of
talk whenever an opportunity presents.
Some of onr boys are quite versed in this
kind of talk.
Miss Laura Chambers, from Ronie, is
visiting Miss Lillie Montgomery.
Mr. Montgomery and his daughter,
Effie, were in Rome.
Jim Weems is the happiest boy in these
parts, he grins all the time. I don’t
blame him, she is pretty enough to make
anybody happy.
Mr. Montgomery has gone to Athens.
Mrs. Wilkerson and son, who have
been visiting her brother, J. L. Iriek,
left on Tuesday for her home in Florida.
Our prayer meeting, which nas been

THE ROME AND DECATUR FREE.
Grovestein & Pell About to Settle—Has the
East Tennessee Scooped the Hoad?
Atlanta Journal.
The affairs of the Rome and Decatur
road are getting in better shape.
Grovestein dfc Pell are negotiating with
their creditors for a settlement, and an
agreement has about been consumated.
It iff said that Mr. Daniel Callahan, the
contractor for the construction of the
road from Rome to Attala, Ala., has a
claim against Grovestein & Pell for $ 185,-
000, which is secured by a lien on the
road. It is said that Grovestein & Pell
have offered to pay $130,000 for the
claim, and the settlement on that basis
is to be consummated in Rome to-day.
Mr. Callahan, who has been in Atlanta
for some time, left yesterday, probablj
for Rome, and Senator Dean, who repre
sents interested parties, remained'there
this morning.
There are various rumors connected
the withroad. It was rumored in Birming
ham a day or so ago that the Rome and
Decatur railroad has passed into
the hands of the East Tennessee
system and would be diverted south
afteHeaving Attala and run down Sand
Mountain to Birmingham. This rumor
has not been traceo to an authoritative
soiiree, and as that system of roads has
access to Birmingham through the Geor
gia Pacific and needs a more direct west
ern connection between- Koine an<l
Decatur, it does not seem probable that?
it is true.

Some Sad and Solid Facts for
Our Merclismts
The Courant-American is strictly a
home institution, and is making every
effort to at tract attention to our favored
section. It is an index finger to the real
condition of the community in ivhich it is
published, and if it fails to show up well
it will be because foreign merchants
appreciate its advertising columns more
than its own, and use them more exten
sively. A local paper with its advertis
ing space taken up by home merchants,
makes a pretty picture that is sure to
attract attention. It is sure evidence
that the town is a good one, populated
by a live, energetic citizenship. We are
more than willing, heartily anxious, to
make the picture, but assure our readers
and merchants that ouraffluency has not
yet reached that point where we can
afford to turn away foreign business
to patiently wait upon a seemingly
lethargic spirit of our home merchants.-

COULDN’T HEAR IT THUNDER.
An interesting letter from Mr. John W.
Weeks, superintendent of DeKalb Pauper
Home:
From a feeling of gratitude and a
desire to benefit others, I voluntarily
make this statement. I have great
reason to be thankful that I ever heard
of B. B. 8., as 1 know what a blessing it
has been to me. I have suffered with
Bronchial Catarrh for a number of years.
Six months ago I was taken with severe
pain in right ear, which in a few days
began to discharge matter, with terrible
and almost unbearable palpitation and
all sorts of noises in my head. In ten
idays after the commencement of dis
charge! and pain in my ear I began to
grow deaf and in six weeks I was so deaf
that I could not hear thunder.
I was then compelled to uee conversation tube,
and it was often that I could not hear with the
tube. I then commenced taking B, B. B. and the
running of my ear ceased running in five weeks,
and can now hear without the tube. My general
health has improved, palpitation ceased, and
feel like anew being, and appreciate the benefit
I have received from B. B. 11. (made in Atlanta,
Ga.) with gratitude to God and thankfulness to
the Proprietors for such a medicine. I cheerfully
recommend it to all who are affteted with deaf
ness and catarrh. Try it; persevere in its use
and you will be convinced of its value.
