Oglesby Bros, j near Adairsville a week or so ago. When | the mill was burned Mr. Oglesby, the senior member of the firm, became suspi cions of a white man working at the mill by the name of Sam Thompson. The tire occurred at. night and Mr. Oglesby was in Atlanta. When he arrived upon the scene the following morning he noticed the nervousness and strange acting of Thompson and at once suspicioned him as being the burner. After some investi gation among the other hands, Mr. Oglesby learned for the first time that Thompson had made threats against the firm, stating to the sawyer, as was ad duced at the preliminary trial only a few i davs before the burning, that the “mill 1 should not make anything and he (the | sawyer) would see it before the week was i out.” He also stated to a log hauler that ! the firm had not treated him right and he was going to have revenge. Thompson was carried before a Magis ! trate, before whom we are informed by j Mr. Oglesby, the above testimony was ; adduced, and upon the strength of it, j was remanded to our jail. Mr. O. cannot i leai n what the man was mad about, that | lie always had a good opinion of him as i a workman and certainly never did him injury.

The groom is one of the central city’s most prominent young business men, of high character and standing. The event of this happy marriage will be recorded in the memory of those pres ent, around which will cluster mauy pleasant recollections. The elegant parlor was most artisti cally decorated. The walls were festooned with garlands of evergreens and autumn leaves, and immediately over the door the beautiful wedding l>ell gracefully hung. The wedding march was exquis itely rendered by Miss Stokely, of Ac worth. The ceremony was deeply impres sive, and the scene during its solemn progress, presented a most pleasing tableau. The manly form of the groom with his lovely bride, was surrounded by the handsome train of attendants, who were as follows; Miss Anna Davis and L. S.

From a Former County Correspondent Dear Editors —lf has been sometime since I wrote anything for your most in teresting paper. Since my last piece 1 have left Mali’s and am on the survey of the C., H. & C., R. 11. The party is at Tallapoosa locating toward Cedartown. The road is on somewhat of a boom. They or soon will have, four parties in the field and six or seven engineers and are moving the business right ahead. It will be one of the finest roads in the South when it is completed. This place is also on a considerable boom. The saw and hammer is going regularly, building on every side, and city lots are being sold on every corner. Everything is in a gen eral stir, 'flie people are very kind and generous and are wide-awake for the road and are anxious to hear the whistle of tin* C., B. & C. While sauntering around last Sunday morning amusing myself as best I could I saw two persons with big song books under their arms going in thq direction of the church. I asked them what was up, anti they told me that they were go ing to havean all da.v singing, so I joined them and went to singing, and you may believe it made me feel like I wasat Hall's under the melodious voices of the three grand professors. They sang the old fashioned fa, sol la notes. They never forgot their tuning fol ks. While sitting under the sound of their melodious voices my mind was lost in meditation of the gone-by days at Hall’s, and ere I was aware of it they were singing the “part ing hymn” with tears in their eyes as large ns goose eggs, and I could hardly hold them back myself, but I managed to smuggle them until alone. The music was indeed voluminous. The professors han dled themselves in the latest and best style. This country is full of minerals of all kinds, and marble inexhaustible, but still I have more hope for Cartersville. Her prospects for the future are better than those of this place. She should truly be proud of her future outlook. Mineral wealth and stirring, energetic people, may she long flourish, and may her in teresting paper and thriving editors long flourish in old Bartow.

Our Correspondent Visits Adairs ville and Finds t lie Bright Lit tit* Gent of the Beautiful ami Fertile Ootliealoga Valley, on it Firm anil Substantial Basis—A Talk With Her Busiuess .Hen. Adairsville is the second town of im portance and population of the great county of Bartow. It is situated as a bright little gem in the midst of one of the most beautiful, fertile and picturesque valleys in all North Georgia. Here we find on lauds contiguous to the town red clover growing in superlative luxuriance, and broad acres of wheat, which, ere long, will ripen into a bountiful harvest, producing fifteen, twenty, and as high as thirty fold. This district, with its rich lands, gently undulating landsca]>e and substantially built farm residences and barns, will well compare with some of the best sections of Middle Tennessee and the far-famed Blue-grass regions of Ken tucky. Most of the farmers of this dis trict are on a substantial footing, having a little balance in bank and plenty of hog and hominy at home. Many of them have tine mules, horses, cattle and hogs— home raised—clearly demonstrating the adaptability of our county to produce everything in the range of agricultural products of the entire sunny South. Here we may. plant side by side the clover-field i and the cotton-patch, and exjiect paying results. The blooded horse and mule and the mild-eyed Jersey heifer attain their highest perfection, and bold and spark ling springs of the coldest water invite the location of the creamery, the dairy and the cheese factory. Here in this favored section they are following a di- j versified farming, and the grand result is that they are living at home and hoard- j ing at the same place. We find, too, under this plan, the lands growing more j fertile year by year, farm buildings being improved, new - fences taking the place of worn out ones, branch bottoms being j cleaned up and ditched and many other j evidences of thrift and prosperity, all ! to the beautifying and substantial pro- I gress of the county. 1 commend these i good old farmers with their friendly grip, broad smiles and their plethoric barns j and graneries to emulation. You pinched up farmers who raise all cotton and keep \ our corn cribs and smoke houses in the west, go up and spend a day or two with the Gaineses, Trimbles, LaConte, Peters, Gray and others I might mention and learn wis dom. The beautiful little town of Adairsville is partaking of this general prosperity and is reaping a flourishing business, be ing the supply depot and shipping point of this excellent country. The most ex tensive business of the town is the large flouring mills of J. M. Veach & ('o. It is probably the best appointed and built mill in North Georgia, having a full equip ment of all the latest improvements in milling. The mill has a capacity of 200 barrels of (lour j*cr day and consumes twenty-four thousand bushels of wheat per month. The flour made at this mill lias a wide reputation, and the demand for it is greater than they can supply. This company furnishes a fine market for all the surplus wheat and corn of the country. The towli has ten or twelve business houses, which are reported by Bradstreet to be on a firm and substantial footing. We find them, however, far behind in their capacity for business, which we attribute to their lack of the good and extensive advertisement of The Courant-Amerk an with its six thousand readers. They should appreciate that possibly such an advertisement would double their business and profits during the year. There is nothing that pays a larger per cent of profit than a judicious display of printer’s ink. I knew a young doctor once who settled in this county years ago, whose whole property con sisted in his medical diploma, a wife and three children. His necessity for practice was an urgent one and his chances for it was a very slim possibility, as the coun try was medically served by four good and eminent physicians who covered the whole territory. But nothing daunted, he employed the services of the printer in frequent ads, and with a fiery horse and frequent rapid visits, he came into imme diate notice and a lucrative practice and remained in the county until a few years ago, one of the largest practitioners in it. So much for an advertisement. These merchants all are good, solid, industrious men, and probably have good stocks of goods, but this may not be known far ther than the smoke of their own chim neys. The testimony of the best business men in the world is in favor of advertis ing. Adairsville is buying all of the cot ton offered in her market at fair and remunerative prices. Up to date she has bought over 1,200 bales; Saturday last 107 bales were bought. Next year they intend building a warehouse. The citizens of the two denominations (Methodist and Baptist) have erected two large and creditable churches. Some nice residences have lately been built and many have been repainted and renovated, all indicating thrift and prosperity. It is a pleasant country with many good peo ple. In boarding the train on Monday last we were greeted by our young friend, Capt. Bartow Leake, who was on his way to this social little town, where I am told he frequently goes, drawn by a stronger incentive than fire insurance. Seeing, on taking a seat by him, that he had been busily coning over the marriage an nouncements and social column of the Sunday Constitution and not wishing to change the tension of his thoughts, I asked, what intentions have you towards matrimony? Then it was he was fully aroused, and lifting his Derby from his broad forehead, letting the bright shim mering sunlight play in fitful shadows over his auburn curls, while his broad Henry Clay mouth tried to pucker itself up into a winsomesmile —and with a look of evident intention of concealment, he replied: “I have none, my friend. I have made up my mind to single blessedness rather than double cussedness. At the perpetration of this dry joke, his Henry Clay refused longer to pucker, convincing us that the boy is on the road to matri mony or seeking the best path leading to it. Why, of course, lit* want* a wife Affectionate and fair. To solace all the woe* of liie. And all its joy* to *hare. Taking it all together, our visit to Adairsville was a most pleasant one.

Here is What an Old Atlanta Man Says. 1 have t>eeu troutded with acute rheumatism most of the time sime ls4o. and a large portion of the time to so great an extent as to deprive me of attending to my business. It finally got into my left side, hip and leg. and for tbe last eight or ten years I have been troubled with it in nty right shoulder, arm anil both feet, so it was nearly all over and through me. 1 have tried the most extensively advertised remedies in the South ; of one 1 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 1 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. I do not believe your Rheumatic cure has an equal in the world. 1 have recommended it to many of my friends, who have used ir 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. R. WYNNE, Gadsden, Ala.

BAKER, (Bank Block,) Cartersville, Ga. THE SALE A SUCCESS. The Citizens of Cartersville Dem onstrate Their Abiding Faith in the Magnificent Prospects of the Town—Good, Healthy Prices Prevail. The sale of town lots came off to-day, as advertised. Mr. Scott, the live real estate man from Atlanta, conducted the sale and was at his best. There were few outsiders present, but the citizens of Car tersville attended in goodly numbers and demonstrated their abiding faith in the future of Cartersville by the lively man ner in which they bid as each lot was offered. Handsome profits were realized for every piece of property sold,and yet the prices were far below its value. It speaks well for a town when real estate doubles in value in less than two years, and that is just what Cartersville dirt has done, and this fact was proven beyond question in to-day’s sale. The owners of the prop erty sold to-day realized a profit of more than 100 per cent in less than two years time. Nothing has occurred in a long time that more forcibly indicates the .feeling existing among the citizens of Carters ville, and their confidence in her future. The prospncts of the old town were never brighter, and her people never felt better. Too much credit cannot be given to those enterprising gentlemen, Messrs, linker & Hall, J. T. Norris and R. M. Pattillo for their efforts in the interest of the town, and in placing this valuable property on the market. They have shown a hearty willingness in putting forth their best efforts in bring ing our town to the notice of the outside world, and no doubt have to a gieat ex tent succeeded. They have spent their money freetyNu advertising our town and its magnificent resources and brillitmt, prospects. The feeling to-day is better in Carters ville than it has been in decades. There is an assured.feeling among our citizens to a man, that the town is on the eve of great prosperity.

Married last Monday morning, in the office of Shelby Attaway, Miss Lula Car ter to Win. .floss, Justice Attaway offi ciating. The fresh and blushing couple were chaperoned by the determined father of the bride. The marriage was informal, no cards, only a verbal invitation from the digni fied justice to a reporter of the Coukant- Amekican to bear witness to the actual presence of the contracting parties, and to the correctness of the sacred ceremo ny. After the preliminaries had been ar ranged, the couple crimsoned with the blush of excitement, were squared in the floor, the groom standing at an angle of 45 degrees. Mr. Attaway, dignified and sedate, and posed himself immediately in front of the pair, calling forth his most ministerial look, he began in an off-hand way to perform. But when he gravely commanded the timid bride to ‘‘take his arm,” the eagerness with which she grasped and drew it to Iter side was a little more than the risibles of the Coir rant- A m e iii< 'A x reporter could stand, and away went two of his waistcoat buttons. The ceremony was cut short, and the pair were pronounced man and wife, with the solemn benedictions of the squire. After the newly made benedict had planked down anew silver dollae the delighted officiating minister smiled and bid them a happy good wish, whereupon, they joined hands conscious that the * Rubican had been crossed, and meandered down the steps. A Change in Business. As will be seen from their announce ment inanother column the firm of Turner & Baker has been dissolved by mutual consent, the former retiring, and Mr. Baker buying his interest in the stock. Mr. Turner, though a resident of our town only a few years, has made a fine impression both as a workman and, upright citizen. His departure from otlr midst is much regretted. The Coi uant- Amkuican bespeaks for them a cordial reception to whatever town they may go, assuring the citizens thereof that they may well be proud to claim him as one of them. Mr. Baker, the remaining partner, will run his jewelry business for all its worth, putting it in charge of Mr. Bolt, a fin ished workman and excellent gentleman, who comes to us highly recommended. Mr. Baker will keep his stock up to the highest standard and make it a credit to the commercial sphere of Cartersville. We wish all parties the greatest success.

Colvin, the clever mineral expert in charge of Floyd’s exhibit at the late exposition. He states that the state ment purporting to come from him to the effect that Bartow was entitled to the prize, was erroneous. He disclaims any such assertion, but did say that Bartow comity could not be beaten for economic ores by any county in the State.
