The TallatUgians Go Home
Charmed With Their Visit
to Cartersville.
They are Much Pleased Will’ Their
B* autiful and Hospitable
Georgia Neighbor
Their excursion over the T. A C. V. R.
R. of Ala., and incidents along flic route’
etc.
The Mountain Home of Talladega,
makes the following pleasant allusion to
the recent visit of the Talladegians to
Cartersville and their hospitable enter
tainment by our people:
Through the courtesy of Messrs. D. W.
and 1). M. Rogers, of the Talladega and
Coosa Valley Railroad, and the man
agers of the East and West Road of Ala
bama, a party of our citizens and busi
ness men, numbering twenty-five, were
the recipients of a delightful and most
enjoyable excursion to Cartersville, Ga.,
last Wednesday.
The train, having the party, pulled out
from the A. & A. depot at 7:30 a. m.
with the best of conductors, Mr. H. F.
Lester, in charge, and genial and popular
I>. Morgan Rogers, general manager.
The weather was everything that could
have been desired. The day was one of
those lovely, glorious autumn days, for
which the “Sunny South" is justly fa
mous. The atmosphere was crisp find
bracing, the sky clear and blue, the sun
bright and cheering. All the circum
stances and surroundings augured a de
lightfully pleasant time for the excursion
ists; and let us anticipate by saying that
the augury in every individual case was
strictly and literally fulfilled.
Arriving at Renfroe, Mr. 1). W. Rogers
boarded the train. The observer might
have noticed, also, a couple of large
baskets brought in and deposited in the
rear end of one of the coaches. The con
tents of these baskets served a glorious
purpose later and provoked many en
comiums upon those who prepared the
same. Bui how we are anticipating
again. We remark right here, en passant,
that the writer shows a decided inclina
tion to anticipate. A number of young
men of the party show an equally de
cided inclination to* retrospect and hav
ing been all along there, we do not blame
them.
After leaving- Renfroe our next stopping
place was the Broken Arrow coal mines;
where Mr. Reuben Alverson is raisiug
about 50 tons of coal per day. Fiom
Broken Arrow we sped to the Ragland
mines. These mines are owned by our
county-man, Maj. Geo. L. Ragland. They
are leased to a company and a very ex
tensive work is being carried on there.
They raise an average of 160 tons daily.
The coal at this and Broken Arrow is
coked on the ground, and the coke is
shipped to fedartown and Chatttanooga
for use in the furnaces fit those points.
It makes excellent coke and commands a
good price.
At the Ragland mines a shaft has been
sunk 52 feet, and from that point as a
center mining has progressed in several
directions a quarter of a mile. The sup
ply of coal seems to be exhaustless.
Reaching Lock 3 on tip; Coosa river,
time was given to inspect that great
work. The government has done an im
mense deal of costly and heavy work at
this point. The masonry is the best we
ever saw. The rock for the same we are
informed was quarried in the adjacent
hills. It is certainly very fine building
material, and will in time be very valua
ble to the owners.
The Lock inspected, the next business
in order, after a run of about 20 miles,
was an inspection of theeontentsof those
baskets which clever 1). W. had brought
on the train at Reufroe. The entire
party, by this time, was ready for busi
ness, too, and when the invitation was
extended they went at it (we mean the
lunch) in a strickly business way; and in
a manner which snowed their apprecia
tion of tlie refreshments.
We have ulwuys had a fondness for
basket dinners, but this one surpassed
anything of the kind we ever stood up to.
The opinion was unanimous that it was
“tip-top and no mistake; and we feel
entirely safe in thus publicly tendering to
the excellent ladies of Messrs. I). W. and
D. M. Rogers, who prepared the lunch,
the hearty thanks of the entire party for
the same.
Lunch being over the journey to Car
tersville was resumed. At Cedertown we
were met by a committee from the citizens
ot Cartersville composed of the following
prominent gentlemen: Col. Murphy, Jas.
Conyers, Esq., and Messrs. A. D. Vandi
vere and J. 1). Allen. We then begun to
have an inkling of what Cartersville had
in store tor us; but our most ardent an
ticipations were more than realized.
Arriving at our objective point at
about t> p, m., we were met at the dopot
by a full committee of citizens and es
corted to the St. James Hotel, where we
were comfortably lodged by “mine host,”
Mr. Hobs.
At 8:30 p. m. the invitation to the
“Banquet Hall” was extended, which was
promtly responded to. The banquet hail
been prepared by the following ladies of
Cartersville and was superb iu all of its
appoints and arrangerndnts, to-wit:
Mesdames Alf Baker, Thos. Milner, Jno.
Akin, Jas. Conyers, M. F. Word, J. C.
Calhoun and 8. J. Ware, and Misses
Mamie Wikle, Elise Owen, Lula Shepherd,
Marion and Stella Smith, Gussie Beeves,
Louise Calhoun and AnnieStansell. After
the guests had been seated around the
sumptuous board the welcoming to “our
guests” was delived by T. Warren, Akin
in a beautiful and feeling manner, which
was responiled to in appropriate terms
by Win. B. (’astleberry. Esq., of this city.
The toasts were then offered and re
sponded to in the following order: “Ala
bama," by Dr. li. A. Moseley ; “Our iron
for your Foal, by I). W. K. Peacock, of
Fartersvillc; “The New South." by Thus
W. Milner, Esq.: “Our Swords are Turned
to Pruning Hooks," by Gen. P. M. B.
Young, and “The Press," by Douglass
U'ikle, Esq. The responses, without an
exception, were appropriate, happily de
livered and heartily received. Taken al
together they were as entertaining a
series ot after dinner speeches as we ever
listened to. Our Cartersville friends
taught the sceptical on the subject one
great lesson—and that is; That wine or
other strong drink is not necessary at a
banquet. Their bampient was a grand
success, and there was not a drop of wine
on the table. On the contrary, lemonade
was the drink, and it was served by as
handsome and attractivea l>evv of holies
us ever graced the halls of Princes or
Kings. Some of our young men who
were present will heartily say amen to
this.
Jno. W. Akiu, Esq., was the Rex Con
vivii of the occasion, and most elegantly
and handsomely did he acquit himself.
The visitors were profuse pud heartfelt in
their compliments of his management.
He is one of the rising young men of
Georgia.
Too much cannot lie said in praise of
this entertainment. It was an elegant,
recherche affair in every particular, and
made a most favorable impression upon
the visitors. It clearly disclosed to us
the culture, refinement and generous
hospitality of that noble and intelligent
jieople.
Thursday, a. in. at 8:30 our party,
re-inforeed by a nunilier of entertaining
and agreeable ladies and gentlemen from
Cartersville, boarded a train which had
been tendered by Joseph E. Brown to
visit the iron ore beds, ten miles distant.
On this excursion we were enabled to see
something of Bartow county. The tomo
graphy of the county, and the soil,
scenery and productions arc very much
like our own Talladega. The county is
well watered. The Etowah river and
numerous creeks run through it. The
surface of the county is rolling, and it
is traversed by two ridges in a general
direction from southwest to northeast,
divided by broad and fertile valleys. On
the eastern side of the county the Alla
toona range of mountains rear their
majestic heads—some of the ]>eaks to a
height of 2,500 feet above the level of the
sea. In this range of mountains and the
loot hills adjoining them are found the
immense mineral deposits of the county.
The minerals are rich and abundant. In
iron, they have the brown hematite and
specular or gray iron ore- These ores
rank high in inctalic substances and are
unusually free from sulphur and pnos
phorus.
In addition to iron they have mangan
ese (used for dying and making steel.)
Large quantities of this is shipped to
Pittsburg steel works, and commands a
high price. They have also in paying
quantities ochre, graphite, fireclay, kao
lin, pyrites of iron, building stone, lime
stone and a variety of other useful and
necessary articles for the comfort and
prosperity of man. From what we saw
and heard we cheerfully concede to our
Bartow friends the right to claim for
their county that it is one of the “banner
counties of the United States.”
A lew words about Cartersville: It is
the county seat of Bartow county, with a
population of about 2,500, situated at
the junctiou of the \V. & A. R. R. with
the E. .V:. W. It. It. of Alabama —distant
from Atlanta 48 miles, Chattanooga 91
miles and Birmingham 151 miles. As we
have said before, it is a typical Georgia
city The people are hospitable, social,
intelligent, refined and cultivated. Some
of the strongest, brainiest and most
noted men in the State reside there. We
mention the Rev. Sain Jones, Maj. C. H.
Smith (Bill Arp,j Hon. W. 11. Felton
and Gen. P. M. B. Young. All these gen
tlemen occupy high positions in their
respective spheres and their neighbors
and friends are justly proud of them.
The city is blessed with good churches
and schools, elegant society; a beautiful
and healty location and many natural
advantages which in the future, as in the
past, will make it one of the most impor
tant and attractive cities in the empire
State of the South.
About noon Thursday our party bade
a reluctant adieu to Cartersville. each
one delighted with the visit and grate
fully acknowledging the many courtesies
and attentions shown them by our clever
Georgia neighbors. We but express the
wish of all—and especially our young
men—when we say: May we meet “early
and often!”
Mr. Otis Nickles has the following to
sav in the Talladega Reporter, of their
visit:
“Along this line are many of those in
dustries springing up which are the dis
tinguishing features of the New South,
and which must eventually crown her
with prosperity, and assign her a posi
tion in the march of progress. The face
of the country is exceedingly lovely. The
lofty mountains through which the rail
road takes its course along the winding
banks of a large creek, with the varia
gated foliage of autumn clothing their
sides to the summits were grand beyond
description. Emerging from the moun
tains we passed into the exquisite and
fertile valleys of Georgia, which nature
has invested with a superb dower of
beauty. The country contiguous and
tributary to Cartersville, along the beau
tiful Etowah river, is remarkable for its
extreme fecundity and the classic loveli
ness of its landscapes.
At Cedartown we were met by a depu
tation of prominent 'citizens from Car
tersville, composed of Jas. Conyers, Esq.,
Col. Murphy, and Messrs. A. I). Vandi
vere and tJ. 1). Allen. At the Alabaster
Lime Works we were met by Editor Wil
lingham of the Codrant-American, with
a printed programme of the occasion.
These gentlemen escorted us to Carters
ville and extended us the privileges of the
city and a cordial welcome within its
gates. Editor Freeman, of the Cedar
town Advertiser, also joined the party
and participated in the glorious hospi
tality that awaited us—and a grand oc
casion it was —a red letter event in the
calender of life.
At six in the evening we arrived at the
depot, and were accompanied by the com
mittee to the St. James 1 Intel. There we
were entertained in princely style by the
citizens of Cartersville. The banquet be
gan at half past eight, and was one of
the most elegant and splendidly con
ducted we ever attended. No wine's nor
intoxicants of any kind were served, this
being a strictly prohibition city, but to
more than compensate for this we weie
cheered by the presence, and entertained
by the brilliancy of some of Georgia's
most beautiful ladies —Georgia is famous
for her beautiful women, and we can bear
witness to the fact that fame does not err
in this regard. The banquet which all
pronounced superb in every feature, had
been arranged by the following ladies:
Mesdames Jas. Conyers, J. C. Calhoun,
Jno: Akin, Ab Baker, Thos. Milner, S. J.
Ware and M. F. Word, and Misses Elise
Owen, Annie Seansell, Louise Calhoun,
Gussie Reeves, Marian and Stella Smith,
Mamie Wikle and Lula Shepherd.
John W. Akin, Esq., presided os Rex
Couvivii, and did the honors of the feast,
with fitting dignity and grace. An elo
quent address of welcome was delivered
by r. Y\. Akin, Esq., and handsomely
responded to by W. B. Castleberry, Esq.,
of Talladega. The following toasts were
then offered and responded to in their
order:
“Alabama,” by Dr. R. A. Moseley; “Our
Iron for Your Coal," by D. \V. K. Pea
cock, ol Cnrtoi-svill**; “Tin* New South,”
by Th ok. W. Milner, Esq., “Our Swords

I*. M. It. Young; and the "Press, by
Douglass Wikle. Esq., Associate Editor
of TheCoi 'KANT-AMKItItAX. Thesjswlies,
toasts and res|snises, were all in com
port with the banquet and exceptionally
good. The Hall was thronged with
guests and citizens, and tin' banquet con
tinued brimmed ami sparkling with
pleasure until near twelve o,clock, when
theerowning and most appropriate toast
of the evening—most appropriate by
reason of its subject, “Our Ladies"—was
offered by the Ilex Convivii, and the
throng regretfully dis|tersed.

Theensuing morning a train was placed
►at our disposal by I'. S. States Senator
Joseph E. Drown, and we were shown
some of the topography and physical
wealth of Bartow county. We could
merely obtain a cursory glance of these,
but this was sufficient to prove that Bar
tow is fully equal and perhaps superior
to Talladega county in natural endow
ments. Besides the finest grades of iron
tire, a great variety of other minerals are
imbossomed in Bartow county, and we
feel assued that a magnificent destiny

dawn. Otis Nicki.es.

The Postmaster at Lady Lake, Fla.
When a man has been snatched, as it
were, from the very jaws of death, and
given anew lease of healthy life by means
of a simple remedy, it is natural for him
to be enthusiastic in the praise of the
means which delivered him from deadly
peril, ami in Ids gladness of heart la* is
anxious to let the world participate in
his Joy, and he will spread the “good
news” in order that others, who may be
in similar peril, may be restored to life
and renewed health by employing the
same means which gave him the victory.
This is again exemplified in the following
letter which the Swift Specific Company
have received from Mr. B. H. Byrd, who
is the [)OStmaster at Lady Lake, Sumter
county, Florida, as well as a leading mer
chant of that place. Under date of May
4, 1887, he writes:
Gentlemen—Allow me to congratulate
and return thanks for the wonderful suc
cess your S. S. S. has proved in my case.
You remember about a year ago I wrote
you in reference to my case. 1 was treated
by three skillful physicians, but with uo
relief. 1 suffered a great deal of uneasi
ness, besides a great deal of pain. I
must say that the contents of one dozen
bottles of S. S. S. has almost removed a
cancer from my face, which no doubt
would have hurried me to my grave.
I shall always keep a good supply in
my store, and urge the sale of the same.
I do think it is wonderful and has no
equal. I am yours truly,
B. H Byrd.

GETTING TO HEAVEN.
The Evidt lit “There” Pointed Out by Kcv.
Sam Jones.
Topeka, Knnm, Capital.]
When Rev. Sam Jones —lawyer, reviva
list, lecturer—stepped to the footlights
and surveyed the vast audience at the
Grand o|era house, last evening, there
were very few vacant seats. It would be
a difficult matter to determine what class
of citizens, if either, predominated. Min
isters and church goers were there in
numbers, but there also were lawyers,
doctors, merchants —men of all trades
and professions. Even the sporting fra
ternity and the gamins were represented.
The prices ranged from 25 cents to fl,
and the main floor and tiers were occu
pied respectively by much the same class
es as at the other entertainments.
At 8 o'clock Rev. Mr. Waters, of the
First M. E. church, advanced from be
hind the scene and made a brief introduc
tory address, during which he said: Every
right minded man has some aim or pur
pose in life around which his efforts cen
ter. How to get there is what interests
all. The man who has traveled over the
road can best speak. Kansas can shake
hands with Georgia on the subject, “Get
There.” I take pleasure in introducing
to you Rev. Sam Jones.
Mr. Jones then came forward and de
livered one of his characteristic and strik
ingly original talks of which it would be
impossible to give anything like a correct
idea in a newspaper report. It was a pot
pourri of wit, poetry, pathos, and reli
gious sentiment, interspersed with inci
dents in his career, many of which are
familiar to newspaper readers. It was
not so much what was said as the man
ner of saying; the peculiar accent of the
speaker, the bold and audacious attacks
on the weakness and wickedness of hu
manity, his keen satire and bright sallies
of wit, that held the close attention of
his hearers, and kept them either wonder
ing what the next surprise would be, or
convulsed with laughter. He failed to
stick to his text, and those who had an
ticipated from the title of the lecture
that the lecturer would point out short
cuts for success in the ordinary affairs of
life were doomed to disappointment. The
lesson was in the upbuilding of moral
character and noble manhood, and the
religious life was held up us the only
means of true happiness and right-living.

When Mr. Cleveland was Mayor,
Chicago News, (Dent.)
A Chicago man who makes it his busi
ness to follow up the races recalls a little
incident that came under his observation
during one of the trotting meet
ings at Buffalo, at the time when Presi
dent Cleveland was Mayor of that city.
Pat Kheedy, the Chicago sport, was in
Buffalo at the time and, being a man of
exceeding good address, managed to
scrape up an acquaintance with Mayo%
Cleveland for a purpose which will pres
ently appear. The Mayor was considera
bly pleased with “Mr. Sheedy,” who, of
course, was on his best behavior, and the
acquaintance ripened as rapidly as if it
had been set under a glass case out in the
suns Mr. Sheedy sat around the Mayor’s
office the better part of two days, handed
out choice cigars, tried to order up the
best wines and. in short, strove to make
himself as agreeable as possible. When
he thought he had ingratiated himself
into the Mayor’s good graces far enough,
he drew his chair close to that of the Ex
ecutive, laid his hand familiarly on the
Mayor’s arm, and said:
“Mr. Cleveland, will you do me a little
favor?”
“I shall lie glad to do anything I can,”
replan] the Mayor.
“Well, its this way,’’ said Pat, encour
aged: “you see, I came here to run a faro
bank during the races, but the gamblers
who live here don’t like it, and are going
to try to have me run out of town. Now
what I want is for you to see that I'm
protected. Will you do it?
The acquaintance was cut off very
short.
