A CAPITAL IDEA.
A Plan to Inaugurate a Per
|><‘tiial Exposition Itight
More in Cartersville.
A General Information OHicc Which stran
(Cr* and Prospectors Will Consul!.
The recent exposition in Atlanta and
Bartow s magnificent mineral exhibit,
have caused considerable inquiry con
cerning this section aud Bartow in par
ticular. Notwithstanding the fact that
the county was deprived of its deserved
premium, there are thousands of persons
familiar with the fact that we had the
mineral and were entitled to better treat
ment. One ot the managers has timidly
explained that the premium was “fin - the
lw*st forestry aud mineral display," and
that Floyd hail a fine forestry display
but scarcely any mineral. He says the
award was made more on account of this
display and mineral was entirely lost
sight of. Kverybody knows Bartow never
hoped to secure anything but the mineral
prize, which she hanked on for all eter
nity, and made all her efforts in that di
rection. How well she succeeded cau be
better told by the hundreds of informed
mineralogists, who are indignant at the
way we were treated.
Our people have come to the conclusion
that we cau surely rely on our own efforts
hereafter and will proceed to get up an
exposition of their own, an exposition
perpetual in its nature and in all respeets
complete. It is proposed that one of the
spacious rooms of the council chambers
In* taken, filled up handsomely and the
exhibits now in Atlanta and those that
are to be ailded-from time to time, be ar
tistically placed therein —when a stranger
comes to our city can see the muguiticent
resourees of Bartow county in a nutshell.
The room will be fitted up handsomely
in which the ladies are to assist, and
when finished, it will not fail to cause
favorable comment from all who
visit it. There is no disputing the
fact that old Bartow can make a show
that can’t be beat, aud one that is bound
to create admiration. The room men
tioned above, true, may be too small,
but the hall over the postoffice could be
utilized and lie made to look handsomely.
This subject has been amply discussed
by our people and we have .vet to hear a
single objection. This will be a standing
advertisement of oiir resources which will
pay handsomely.
Now let our city fathers discuss the
matter and make arrangements for the
proper carrying out of the project. No
time should be lost as just now, on the
heels of the exposition, considerable in
quiry is being marie in regard to our
county, and we should be properly pre
pared to answer them.
There remains now undistributed a few
thousand of the pamphlets which will
serve a good purpose by a proper com
mittee. Let our city fathers inaugurate
the movement and they will find that the
people will be with them.

A Cheeky Counterfeiter.
The following letter was handed to us
by a prominent business man of Carters
ville, who had just received it. He is
puzzled to know how this cheeky counter,
feiter could have learned of his name
and why he should have presumed him
the kind of a man to engage with him in
his swindling business. The letter bears
neither date nor signature, but with it
was a card containing the address of H.
Stanton, care of Barber, 504 West sth
St., New York City.
Dear Sir, —Your name and address

you mean business, but if you conclude
to answer this letter, L will endeavor to
satisfy you on every point, that if you
are my friend, I will prove a true and
lasting one to you. Remember 1 want
simply to convince you that 1 am just as
I say, a friend to a friend. If you answer
this be sure to send me your name and
postoffice address, as l may lose the one
1 now have before hearing from you
again, and then not know where to write.

SOMETHING GOOD.
A First C'ass Troupe to Give us a Treat.
Cartersville not being down on the list
ns a real first-class show town, conse
quently not expecting the best on the
road, always show her appreciation when
a real attraction conies. By special ar
rangements an excellent troupe, the Dan
iel A. Kelly, will be here Tuesday night,
the night following Florence Elmore.
True two shows right together seems a
superfluity, but remember, on account of
our position we cannot dictate when we
shall have shows, but to the contrary
take our chances when they present
themselves. Of the troupe to be here
Tuesday the Reading, Fa.,Eagle, says:
Daniel A. Kelly, the character actor,
and his excellent company opened a three
nights' engagement and matinee at the
Grand Opera House last night, and
played to a packed house. Mr. Kelly,
the’“Shadow Detective," played his triple
characters of an Irish politician, loalian
and Yankee so splendidly as to receive
the heartiest applause. Harry Albaugh,
ns Antonia Bucrelli, an Italian, also
did a clever bit of character
acting. S. C. Fenton, as Gerald
Vurley, made a very good villain. Miss
Joan travail the leading lady of the
company was very yhunning. Miss
Hattie Berleur, performed well the char
acter of Cleon a Meers, and Mother
Brooks, was very conscientious in her
acting and did full justice to the part,
Miss May Buckingham and H. Mortimer
played the parts of tom Cattle and Folly
Sanderson and acted with lots of vim,
introducing a little child 2 years old,
and the house echoed with encore after
encore.
THE SALE TO-DAY.
lie I'rimppct* Goixl For tin* First Land
Sole To-Day
Ihe syndicate f gentlemen having in
charge the laud sal** to-day, have been
assured by their agent, the priuee of rea)
estate men, Mr. YY. M. Scott, that the
sale will l* liberally attended by parties
from Chattanooga, Atlanta and other
cities, and that the feeling towards the
magnificent prospects of Cartersville is
warming up considerably. The world is
fast finding out that we furnish the finest
ores that can Is* found in the South. The
people know and appreciate the fact why
Birmingham and Chattanooga are oon
tinually shipping our ores to their fur
naces where it is mixed with theirs, which
is of au inferior quality. The world has
found out all these things concerning us
and the inquiries and the fact that pros-
Ilectors are continually “piroutiug" over
the county cannot help but turn the tide
this way. We’ve got the minerals in in
exhaustible quantity and in quality that
we can defy the world to produce the like.
All these things, together with our many
advantages in point of health and agri
cultural resources are bound to make us
great and send us along the booming
stream with a rush.
The sale to-day will most probably set
the ball in motion The gentlemen hav
ing matters iu charge deserve the thanks
of the com inanity, for they have done no
small advertising of our favored county
in the past few months. Other sales are
to follow, and if the signs point right
there will beau unusual activity. The
Etowah Iron and Manganese Company
is still in the ring, their mountains of
iron and manganese are a't the same
place, and if that company cannot move
them there is plenty capital seeking such
investment that can turn the old moun
tains inside out. It is simply impossible
for such a magnificent piece of property
to long remain in obscurity and without
the touch of the great developing power
of starving capital.
Go out to the sales to-day, invest, treat
those from a distance with consider
ation and take pleasure in showing them
around. We have nothing in the world
that we need be ashamed to show.

Florence Elmore.
When Miss Elmore made her debut as a
star before the Atlanta public she was al
most unknown in the city. The an
nouncement that Florence Elmore would
appear at the opera house on such a
night awakened no particular interest, as
the people were accustomed to have so
called stars come along and disappoint
them periodically. This state of things
did not so remain for any length of time,
however. Miss Elmore made her initial
appearance in “Camille." When she first
stepped on the stage there was a subdued
ripple of admiration and a desire to give
expression to the awakening interest.
At the end of the first act she was called
before the curtain; at the end of the
second act she was vociferously called
out, and at the finish of the fourth act
she was called out three times in su<*ces
sioti, and before she finished Camille that
night she had established herself as At
lanta’s favorite actress. The following
day the Atlanta Constitution spoke of
her her in this wise: “Florence Elmore
is a native of the South which, of course,
is in her favor,but itis not for that reason
alone that she deserves well of southern
theatre goers She is an actress of such
unusual talent, that were she a native of
the bleakest section of the country, she
would still deserve the wannest praise.
She is really a brilliant addition to the
ranks of the few tragic actresses who
lend lustre to the American stage. Added
to the singular beauty of her face and
form, she possesses dramatic power that
is certainly not excelled by any, and
which is equaled by only a few. Last
night those who heard her laughed when
she laughed and shed tears when she shed
them. Expressed in a single sentence,
she is such an actress as is seen in Atlan
ta but rarely

The following associated press dispatch
was published Tuesday morning:
At a meeting to-day of the creditors
of Grovesteeu A Fell, the Exchange
FJaee brokers who assigned some time
ago, there was a large attendance. The
committee of theereditors had appointed
John Byrne, an exjiert, to examine into
and report on the condition of the Rome
and Decatur railroad, which formed
part of the assets of the firm, as well as
the East and West railroad, of Alabama.
Mr. Byrne handed in his rejiort iu regard
to the former road and it was read to
day to the creditors assembled. Mr.
Byrne states that injustice to the proje
erty the road could not safely be eom
pleted under the Fell contract. An in
debtedness entirely excessive iu compari
son with the character of the road would
result. Mr. Byrne's report of the condi
tion of the East and West Alabama road
(another of the firm's assets) is already
in the hands of the committee, but has
not yet been submitted to the creditors.
Another meeting of the creditors will lie
held in a few days.
The For rant-A me riuan noticed Mr.
Byrne’s apjiearance in our midst while
here. The friends of the East and West
have cause to lielieve that his report of
the road and the country through which
it passes, and its prosjiects, will Ist* a flat
tering one. To some of our jieople he ex
pressed himself as being highly pleased
with our county and he took pains to
look into our prosjiects, etc. His report
is anxiously looked forward to, as upon
it probably dejiends the wanted improve
ments along the road. Already it is over
done with business. The erv* is long and
loud for more engines and cars. It is
thought and heartily hoped that matters
will lie settled satisfactorily before
our next issue. The East and West has
done, and bids fair to do, considerably
more towards developing this section
and bringing it to the front than any
known agency. I’apt. Fostell’s many
friends and admirers heartily wish for
him the greatest success in pushing for
ward his plucky little road.
A Way to do Good.
Connected with the work of the Baptist
church of this city is a “Young People’s
Society of Christian Endeavor,” com
posed of some forty or fifty members.
The object of this society is the training
and development of the young people
who make up its membership. Several
departments of Christian work are as
signed them, one of which is the relief
of the poor. This is therefore to ask
all who have cast off clothing, outgrown
clothes, shoes, hats, pants, dresses, over
coats, or any article of wearing apparel
that will do for use again, whether for
young people or old folks, to let me
know of the same by means of a postal
card or otherwise, and some of our young
workers will go for them at once. The
cold winter will soon be upon the poor,
and this society wants to see how much
good they can do by way of relieving
their wants. Many old people may in
this way be made comfortable, and many
children, may not only be kept warm, but
in this way be brought to Sunday School
and church, where they may have the
blessed Savior’s love.
In place of second-hand clothes, we
would just as soon take new ones or
money either, if you have no old clothes
to spare. If each of our merchants
would give us a pair of little shoes, or a
few yards of cloth, or a hat, or a little
coat, or something else, they would get
rewarded for it, and help to relieve many
cases of real need.
YY'e wili try to bestow all articles given
to us wherever they are needed, but only
where they are needed.

MORE HOUSE ROOM.
Cartersville Finds Herself In Need of
Dwelling Houses.
In the past year or so, since the boom
has struck this section, there has a
steady demand for dwelling houses. This
has been the case of Anniston, Chatta
nooga,, Decatur and all the other boom
ing towns. Cartersville is no exception
to the rule, aud to-day she finds herself in
worse condition in that respect than at
any time within the history of the town.
Good dwelling houses are in great de
mand and command good renting prices.
A gentleman within our knowledge, has
been hunting a home for several weeks,
but up to lust accounts had not succeed
ed in securing one.
YVhat Cartersville needs is more houses,
both business and dwelling. The outlook
was never better for the town and the
first one that goes to work and erects
suitable residences on the vacant land in
the community, will be the first one to
reap the great benefits of a genuine boom.
With even our present citizenship the de
mand would be sufficient to warrant their
erection, not to say anything of the
prospect of many moving in at an early
day.
More house room is what we need, and
need it badly, and if some of our capital
ists want to see the town boom sure
enough, let them start the ball right by
erecting several new houses.

Here is YVliat an Old Atlanta
Man Says.
1 have been troubled with acute rheumatism
most of the time since IN4O, and a large portion
of the time to so great an extent as to deprive
me of attending to my business. It Anally got
into my left side, hip and leg, and for tbe last
eight or ten years I have been troubled with it in
my right shoulder, arm and both feet, so it was
nearly all over and through me. I have tried the
most extensively advertised remedies in the
South : of one I took seven bottles and of an
other three, neither of which did me any good.
Finally I was pursuaded to try Hunnicutt’s
Rheumatic Cure. After taking one bottle and
before the second was all taken I began to im
prove, and before 1 had taken the sixth bottle I
was cured sound and well and I now feel like a
new man. I can now walk miles in a day and
work outdoors in any kind of weather without
the slightest inconvenience. 1 do not believe your
Rheumatic cure has an equal in the world. 1
have recommended it to many of my friends,
who have used it and are highly pleased with the
result. Ido not believe there is a case of acute,
inflammatory or chronic rheumatism that your
remedy will not cure if taken according to direc
tions and persevered in. I have almost daily
calls from persons inquiring about the Rheumatic
Cure. One old man came into my place of busi
ness yesterday and told me that one bottle had
done him more good than all the medicine he
had ever taken for rheumatism.

Messrs. Littlefield it Lewis, and also
Mr. Hannah, are ginning a great deal of
the fleecy staple. Cotton is yielding a
good crop in this vicinity.
We arelookingfora few weddings in our
section soon. A certain young man was
heard to break the awful silence that
sometimes occurs with bashful beaux,
with these words: “Onetime nia made
me a pair of yaller breeches with about a
peck of buttons on them.’ 1 She smiled
and said, “I had a dress sorter like that
once.” Rip.

PINE LOG.
Some rain and some sunshine; taking
it all together, l guess we have about
as fine weather as any people do.
Some of our boys who went to the ex
position last week say they had a fine
iaige # time, two or three of them especially
got credit fin the train and elsewhere, for
being masters of their profession.
Rheumatism has broke out here very
bold and fear we will have to quarantine
the town. We are satisfied we would if
this was not a dry country.
Mrs. Dr. R. A. Richey and children are
visiting her parents in South Carolina,
her native home. The doctor looks very
lonely, but we think, however, he will
make it through if she does not stay too
long.
Maxwell Bros, have just opened up a
fine stock of goods and Cnrrin now
smiles on the ladies the politest we ever
saw him. It may be because he went to
the exposition.
Messrs. .1. I'. and U. E. Adair came
home last week from Calhoun school pre
paratory to taking in the exposition,
which they say they did. Mr. .I.l*. speaks
of not returning to school on account of
bad health.
GRASSDALE.
Like everywhere else and everybody
else nearly, we Grassdale people have
been to the exposition. All of us feel
happier and more consequential, for we
can sav we have seen the President and
his wife. We had to pay pretty dearly for
the exquisite pleasure and honor. I must
sav we would not have had to go out of
Bartow to find as tine looking a man,
and I am sure Grassdale- can boast of
prettier women than Mrs. President. It
would not do to trot out our young
ladies on exhibition just now, for they
were so terribly mashed in the jam that
they have not regained their former
shape, nor will they for some little time.
1 never knew until last Wednesday
what a great blessing to the human fami
ly a bustle was. The party who invented
it ought to have a monument erected to
his memory lam sure that every pen-son
who was in the jam in Atlanta will will
ingly subscribe. I was truly sorry for
those who were not so fortunate as to
possess a folding bustle. 1 pitdiet enor
mous sales and* advise parties who have
money to speculate with to invest imme
diately. There is not a single young lady
up here who can now boast that she has
never been hugged. Now that they have
had a littleexperience they may not be so
very shy in the future. One thing we are
thankful for, all of us got home safe.
Mrs. Dayton Hawkins,from LaGrange,
is on a visit to the family of Rev. P. E.
Hawkins.
Miss Lula Hawkins is at her brother
Murray's at Marietta.
Miss Fannie Bailey, from near Dalton,
will spend some time with the family of
Mrs. Weems and other relatives. Miss
Fannie will be quite an agreeable addi
tion to the young folks' society.
Miss Fannie Woodruff, who was visiting
the Misses Weems, has returned to her
home at Oostanaula. Miss Fannie went
to school in our neighborhood a few years
ago, and consequently we all knew before
this how charming she was, and this last
visit has only strengthened the ties that
bind her to our people, especially to one
of them. Friends tried to pursuade Miss
F. not to go home, as .Jim was to take
her, for we knew whenever lie went to
Gordon it was sure to rain, and we were
anxious for clear weather.
Miss Aileen Best spent Sunday with
the Misses Montgomery.
Henry Saxon, after spending some time
at his old home, has returned to his
home in Orlando, Fla.
Mr. John Saxon, from South Carolina,
is visiting his brother, Col. R. C. Saxon.
It has been nine years since he left here,
but time has dealt' very gently with him,
and he is looking as well, if not better,
than he did then.
Bob Saxon, who has been at Grassdale
for two weeks, has declined the idea of re
turning to Orlando until the yellow fever
somewhat abates. I am surethis decision
was gladly received by one party at
least.
On Friday night next, the 28th, the
ladies of the Cross Roads Church will
have a festival at the residence of Mr.
Tom Pittard, the proceeds to go for
painting and other work on that Church.
To the lovers of something good, let me
say, be sur e to come, and I assure you
that no one will have to go away disap
pointed. The names of the ladies who
have itinchargeare asufticientguarantee
of success. To the young men, especially,
I say come, for I can promise that they
shall he waited on and entertained by as
pretty young ladies as can Is) found in
any section. I only say this for the bene
fit of those who have not visited our sec
tion; to those who are acquainted, the
simple announcement of a festival is all
that is necessary.
