They were heartily dis gusted, not to say anything of the pretty dresses spoiled. Rev. W. 11. Cooper preached an able sermon Sunday morning, wjiich cannot be done justice by a simple notice. We hope to be able to present it to our read ers shortly. It was a tine one and those that heard it were fortunate indeed. Mr. W M.

A party of Talladegians will be up to see us next Wednesday. They will come up to pay a visit made by some of our people to their thriving town on the oc casion of l he opening up of the extension .of the Last and West railroad. The Tailndegiaus are the cleverest people we ever met and our latch-string hangs away out on the outside for them. Thrice welcome Talladegians! Mr. Morgan Rogers, the manager of 1 lie Talladega and Coosa Valley Railroad, was in town last week, looking after the transportation of another engine for his prosperous road. It was a heavy one and will be quite an addition. This road has orders in the shops for another engine which cannot be filled in several months. Hurrah tor the Rogers boys and the T. A C. V. R. R. Victor and Frank Smith, sons of‘‘Rill Arp," are at home on a, visit to their parents. The former occupies a very re sponsible position on the editorial staff of the New York Tribune, the latter is a prominent and successful railroad con tractor in Virginia. Roth these young men stand high in their respective call ings, and Cartersville is proud to have such splendid representatives abroad. Mr. C. A. McLlwain and lady, of New Castle, K.v., are spending a lew days with their relatives, Rev.and Mrs. S. R. Jones, alter taking in the Atlanta exposition. Mr. McLlwain is a prominent citizen of his section and we are glad to learn that he is looking over Bartow county min eral lands with a view to investing. We extend him a hearty welcome to our com munity, assuring him that we have more mineral and better quality than any sec tion in the south. The gloom ot this office was greatly dispelled yesterday by the presence of several ladies from the (Jrassdale neigh borhood. They seemed much interested in the intricacies of the “art preserva tive," and one bright spirit couldn't hardly “see how any one could take these papers and not pay for it after all this hard and tedious work."

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. Everybody is beginning to find out that Skinners is the place to bay the cheapest groceries in the city. Go there, git there, buy there. J. J. Skinner, lied ' Corner. We are making extra reductions on everything in our line, especially on Clocks and Musical Instruments. Turner & Baker. 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.

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.

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 Watch Out I need money.

Tie- Export Sent St>utli KecomineitrtH the Dim rtiou of tlu* Koine miil DecHtnr Road. 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. \Vm. 11. Cooper, For the Young People's Society of Chris tian Endeavor. 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. AltaWbo fpeaks Out in the Meetings W B. WYNNE. 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. W. B. WYNNE, Gadsden, Ala.

OVER THE COUNTY. 01 R COR RES PON DENTS NOTE THE INCIDENTS OF THEIR NEIOII BOR HOODS Anil Disli Them I p in a Delectable Shape For Our Headers. FOLSOM. The good people of this community will soon have completed a large and handsome Baptist Church. The old church is to be converted into an acade my. It will make a splendid academy. It is large enough to accommodate the large number of students who attend here annually. The trustees of the Cedar Creek high school have elected 0. \V. Hendricks to run tlie school here this year. He lias had charge of the Cedar Creek high school. He had three other calls, but it seems as if he is gaining the good will of the people of Cedar Cieek to the extent that they will not consent for him to leave. 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.
