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 are turned to Pruning Hooks " by Gen. 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. resources or BAirrow cokntv. 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 awaits her principal city, and will soon dawn.

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.

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. # Is There any Gum in it?

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. •♦ • ■ Satisfactory Results Always follow' the sale of Taylor's Chero kee Remedy of Sweet Gum and Mullein, which is a strong testimonial for any couch medicine.
