An Important the ii„ar<l of
Directors in X t . York.
i here was a very important meeting of
the board of directors of the Hast and
Wwt It. It. held in New York Wednesday,
'•Rli insf. Messrs. Pell, Benedict and Capt.
John I ostcll resigned their positions as
directors of the road. Messrs. Swann,
ol the well known firm of Inman, Swann
Cos., and Rutter, of New York, were
elected to fill the vacancies caused by the
resignation of L'ell and Benedict, while
t apt. Posted was re-elected to till the
vacancy caused by his own resignation.
No president was elected and ('apt. Pos
ted will act in that capacity for the
present.
1 he new directory has yet formulated
no new plaus as far as can he learned,
but it is intimated that the road will be
improved and its rolling stock increased.
The rolling stock now being used is
rushed to its utmost, the engines nor
cars are not near sufficient to handle the
increasing business. When the Hast and
West is fully equipped to handle the busi
ness that now belongs to it and the new
business that is accumulating every day,
it will be one of the finest pieces of rail
road property in the South, a fact wed
known to those acquainted with the
magnificent undeveloped country through
which it runs.
The re-election of ('apt. Posted as a di
rector and general manager, is a happy
appreciation of his worth and the honor
tendered him in making him ex-officio
president is wed deserved indeed. His
many friends in this section congratulate
him on the acquisition of his new honors
and earnestly hope for him an early con
summation of his desire to make the
East and West what it should IsI—the 1 —the
most magnificent railroad property in
the South.

also been shipped over.
The Atlanta Brick Company have con

working down to Carrollton, skipping
about fifteen or twenty miles, that por

Comity Bond Cases Dismissed.
In sounding the docket yesderduy,
Judge Fain called a number of cases that
have been pending for a number of years,
among them the noted bond cases which
have been standing for a long while.
These were suits founded upon the bonds
issued by Bartow county timing the late
confederacy, and the payment of which
tin* tax-payers have so justly and con
stantly resisted. As each of these cases
were called yesterday, excepting in one
instance,orders were taken, with tint con
sent of counsel for plaintiffs, dismissing
t hem. The remaining one will probably
go off the docket in tin* same way to-day.
Thus forever ends a jtiece ot litigation
that has somewhat worried and vexed
our jteople, and the county bonds will no

ambition.

It is always our highest gratification
to speak of the progress and improve
ment of home institutions, and mark the
strides our clever boys are making to
wards a competency, affluence and even
wealth. 1 venture the assertion there is
not a county in the State that has a
cleverer, more industrious and enterpris
ing set of young men than the grand old
county of Bartow,and go where you will,
and find them in whatever culling they
may select, from the plow to the pulpit,
from the mill to the hustings, and you
will be impressed by evidences of their
indomitable energy.
The clever firm of Gaines A Isavis are
honored exemplars of this get up and get
principle. Directly after the war each
started life with a slender purse, backed
by a vigorousconstitution and a determi
nation of success as their stock in trade.
By small earnings and continued savings
they were enabled in the year 1876 to
buy the mill and water power of Gillam
& Oglesby, situated on Two Run creek.
In a few years’time they established a
large and extensivetrade in the flour and
meal business, which they successfully
held until the roller process became an
established success. It was then, with an
incentive for superiority and a desire for
perfect excellence in their business, they
determined to throw away entirely their
old mills and place in their stead the
roller process, which they have now just
completed. The mills are comprised of
four stands of eight rollers from the
Richmond City Mill Works (of Richmond,
Indiana) with till its latest patents and im
provements. The firm is now prepared
to compete with the superior products of
the best mills of the South. They feel
satisfied when the “Best Roller Patent”
tind “Bolted Snow, (their fancy brands),
are introduced into the larder of the
household no other flour will be desired.
The full capacity of the mills are 75
barrels of flour and 165 bushels of fine
bolted meal per day. They can consume
108,000 bushels of wheat and 41,000
bushels of corn per annum. It is com
paratively a small mill, but will be per
ceived to have a gorman appetite. We
met and were introduced to Mr. J. W.
Compton, of Richmond, Indiana, the
agent and expert workman, who is in
person superintending the setting up of
the mills, and by his courtesy was con
ducted from the turret to the basement
through the intricate windings and maze
of the shafting, pulleys, elevators, cyclone
dusters, middling purifiers, scalpers,
bolts, packers, etc., and was pointed out
the three mile course the wheat would
have to travel before being finally dis
posed of. Mr. Compton is a very affable
gentleman indeed, an adept in his trade,
with liberal views and social bearing. He
expresses himself as highly pleased with
our county and people. We would be
glad to have him as a citizen as a citizen
to aid with his mechanical skill in devel
oping the resources of our great county.
The Eureka Roller Mills may be record
ed as ai.other substantial improvement
for Bartow county, and we will hail with
joy the day when every waiter power will
be curbed and harnessed to the w hirling
wheels of manufactories, to work up the
crude material of our wealth. Messrs.
Gaines A Lewis will at an early day
spread an advertisement in the columns
of The ('or hant-A mkhican and we com
mend them to the liberal patronage of
our people.
A VISIT TO JACKIE, KINGSTON 8 VIVACIOUS
CORRESPI >N DENT.
Your correspondent had the jdeasure
of visiting “Jackie,” Kingston's special
correspondent, and spent a few hours of
concourse with this fine old Bumcombe
county gentleman. This vivacious cor
respondent regaled us with some rich
reminiscences Of his boyish exjiloits in
the Cateluehy mountains in the far-famed
Land of the Skies. Our friend lias a
fount of quaint humor and touches uji
artistically an anecdote or relates an in
cident of his eventful boyish life in the
mountains of Western North Carolina in
quite an entertaning and amusing manner.
He tells a good one on himself of a jieril
ous ride he had on a bob-tailed, nmley
headed ox to the salt lick log in the Cate
luehy mountains, which I will attempt to
tell, as it is too good to k<*ej>, though 1
may not hoj>e to imitate his racy style.
The Buneombite farmers all raise and
feed a quantity of cattle, by the sale of
which in the fail of the year they i-eplen
ish their exhausted exchequers. It is their
custom about the first ot April when the
snows have all melted off the mountains
to drive their beef cattle to the range
where they are kept and salted until the
coming fall. This event is looked forward
to by the boys on the farm with u great
deal of expectancy, as a holiday of rare
sport and fun. Among the cattle owned
by Jackie's father was a muley-headed,
bob-tailed ox, which hail lieen tolerably
well broken to the bridle and saddle, and
on many a jaunt had served instead of a
horse. On the morning of driving his
father's cattle to the range, Jackie was
lip by the time it was light and had fed
and watered Old Ball and girted on
securely the improvised saddle, which was
made out of two forked sticks held to
gether with a couple of clap boards
nailed to the sides. To give Old Ball an
extra gait during the day “Jackie" had
borrowed his father s big brass sjiurs,
which he buckled on to his bare feet and
with his copperas punts rolled up to his
knees, strutted around to the jingle of
the spurs, looking every inch like a ban
turn gamecock of the mountains. When
the cattle were turned out at the big farm
gate and all was in readiness to start,
"Jackie” threw his sack of salt between
the horns of his mountain saddle and
hastened to mount his “critter," jingling
his spurs first on one side, then on the
other, with boyish pride but quite to the
discomfiture of “Old Ball" who ominous
ly displayed his disapjiroval by a vigorous
shake of his shaggy head. At last the
mountain path was taken and all went
along merrily as a marriage bell until
the top of the mountain was reached.
When the herd of cattle, who had long
been pent up in their winter quarters,
sniffed the balmy breeze from the top of
the mountain and scented the fragrance
of th‘* wild pea vine and the luxuriant
grass that was growing in the valley be
low, they raised their tails, lowered their
heads and commenced a wild scamper to
the far off valley. “Old Ball,” forgetting
his dignity and his burden, caught in
spiration from the wild flight of his com
jianions, raised his stump tail, shook his
muley head and commenced some vigor-

ous burking jumps down the precipitous
pathway. Jackie, to ls*tter secure his
seat, chnnj>ed his-heels to the sides of his
beast. No sooner had the sharp pricks
of the spurs touched the sides of Old
Baul than heciouched down as if.a half
a dozen rattle snakes had bit him, and
with tin unearthly bawl lie {dunged for
ward in a mad ract* down the mountain
towards the lick log. The more he
pinnged and the faster lie ran the closer
Jackie pressed his spurred heels into his
now bleeding sides. This but added fury
to Old Haul and drew wide open the
throttle of his mad career. At this junc
ture “Jackie's” young blood had receded
to his heart, and with both hands clasped
to theupright beam ol his mountain sad
dle, his long mainstreaming in the winds,
his face as white as his mother’s starch
bag ami his eyes like two moons, he eri<*d
out plaintively: Whoa, Haul! whoa,
Baul! please, whoa Bank Bui Bank ole
livious to his past good liehavior, mid
unheeding the plaintive cries of Jackie,
ran with upabating speed, jumging h g-,
flying over gulches and darting through
underbrush. Jackie, at this {mint from
very fright, became insensible and knew
nothing more until he opened his eyes at
the lick log, to discover his brother
chafing his limbs and sprinkling his face
with cold spring water. Jackie has never
from that day to this good hour, had
much use for jingling brass spurn on a
bob-tailed, muley-headed steer, es|*cially

TO
Be silent, be silent, and seek not to tear,
The veil which the heart o’er its secerts would
wear;
’Tis not for the careless to rudely expose.
The feelings which locked in the bosom repose.
The rainbow may circle the chasm’s dark brink,
Where, underneath the boiling. Hie dark waters
sink;
Approached, its soft splendor’s apparent no more,
Which hung o’er the mist-cloud a moment before.
The zephyr will wake the soft harp's tender tones.
Itut rude winds will change ils sweet music to
moans;
And, stirred, the calm sea in wild Htruggling to
lie tossed,
And o’erwlielmed each veetige of beauty is lost.
Sea-waves, undisturbed, are not sad in their tones
’Tis only when 'prisoned or troubled they' moan ;
Then rouse not to sadness when peacefully sleep.
In quiet and beauty, those waves of the deep.
The heart still its treasures must carefully shroud
And seem as before, though ’tis veiled by a cloud;
Must bury its struggles far, far out of sight,
And still the fast-quivering throbs in tkeir might.
Thy questioning hush then, nor seek to know why,
My bosom so often is heaved by a sigh;
I’d not that the tones of my harp should reveal,
The sorrow the spirit in secret must feel. .
Enough! if the rose, though thorn-circled, is fair,
And sweetly dispels its perfume on the air,
Crush not the leaves rudely, nor tear them apart,
In curious searching for thorns in the heart.

A London telegram to the New York
Evening Post says: “I can give you
some new anecdotes of Jenny Lind.
Dean Stanley once offered himself to her
in marriage, but was refused. The whole
Stanley family, including Bishop and
Mrs. Stanley, were devoted to her. The
invitation which the former gave her to
the Episcopal palace at Norwich created
a great sensation. Her husband, (iold
sinidt, was cruelly and unjustly libeled
till in self-defense she brought ail action
and got £2,000 damages. The libel being
disproved she privately returned the
money. She lived in perfect retirement
of late years, s|lending most of her time
in her charming place at -Malvern. Her
great musical accomplishments was her
shake. 11l a jiiece which Balfe wrote for
her, she made three forte shakes success
fully, rushing uj> the scale at the top of
her voice at tlje end of each shake, with
an ease that no singer ever rivaled. She
was besieged with requests for her auto
graph, but only gave it in support of
charitable institutions. Mendelssohn
wrote “Elijah" for her and declared that
such a musical genius only .appeared once
in a century.”

Here is What an Old Atlanta
Man Says.
1 have been troubled with acute rheumatism
most of the time since lsto, 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 the last
eight or ten years 1 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 1 took seven hot ties and of an
other three, neither of whieh dal me any good.
Finally I was pursuaded to try Hunnieutt’s
Rheumatic Cure After taking one bottle and
before the second was all taken 1 began to im
prove. and before I had taken the sixth bottle 1
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 lias an equal in tlie world. I
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. 1 ftuve almost daily
calls from persons inquiring about the Rheumatic
Cure. One old man came into m.v 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.

CASS STATION.
This is one season (luring the year when
almost everybody is happy. The reason
is, it is the time for reaping that which
was sown, and the farmers about Cass
are as happy a looking set of fellows as
you will meet anywhere. Some have not
been quite as successful as usual, and
some have been unusually successful, and
1 am glad to say that the latter are large
ly in the majority. Prof. Marshall is
among the number that has been unusu
ally successful. He had only one horse
and planted a one-horse crop, and has
made ten bales of cotton and three hun
dred bushels of corn, besides potatoes,
turnips and other truck patches. This
only shows what can be done around Cass
and what is being done. We have good
land and by properly cultivating it one
can realize that t heir labor is not thrown
away. (>ur little village is well situated,
we have the advantages of the railroad
and daily mails. The people are kind
and neighborly, and I can t remember a
time when we were in a more prosperous
condition. We have one church within
three hundred yards of the depot, and
another one mile distant.
Posey & Dobbins aieour ginners, and
though they started late in the season,
they have ginned nearly two hundred
bales, and the prospects are that they
will turn our nearly one hundred more.
Cass is a good place to live at, and
while most of the boys and young men
are talking of going to the towns and
cities, I, for one, have no other idea on
my brain than to stay at home. Home
is the best place.

How much easier it is to keep doing
than to stop lor a while and then try to
commence just where you left off. This
is as true about writing to The Coiuant-
American as any thing else. Sickness
and a rush of work prevented me from
chronicling the events for the last week's
paper. Now that so long a time has in
tervened, 1 hope all parties will forgive
if I should overlook anything, for I
assure them it will not be intentional.
The mumps are still holding the fort,
but glad to say are of a very mild form.
Miss Lillie Woodberry, of Adairsville,
spent several days among our people.
Miss L's visit was one of both, pleasure
and business. This was her first visit
among us, although she was known to
most of our people her association with
us at our homes, has only strengthened
the attachment. We hope her visit was
so pleasant that she will repeat it soon.
The most pleasant and enjoyable social
gathering, that has taken place in Grass
dale, was a birthday supper given by
Miss Lula Weems, Friday the fourth,
to commemorate her birthday. Miss
Lula invited her many young friends,
and was so considerate of some of her
older ones as not to forget tnem. Miss
L assisted by her sister Miss Beatrice
and her cousin Miss Fannie Bailey, re
ceived and entertained her many friends
in a most graceful manner. After the
crowd had spent a short time very
pleasantly in social conversation, supper
was announced. As there was not enough
young men, we old folks had the pleasure
of escorting a young lady, we were too
timid to try the arm clutch, but offered
our arm as in days of long ago. If we
were getting old we had not forgotten
the way to the table, and when we did
get there, we were perfectly amazed at
the display of so many tempting delica
cies, and solid A large
turkey graced one end of the table and a
ham of pork the other and all available
space between filled with too many good
things to enumerate, and to try to make
every thing more tempting if possible
we were waited upon by three of our
most beautiful young ladies. I felt sure
Jim would founder himself, he tried to
eat every thing a certain young lady
offered him. We had the Dr. there, but
he had waged such an incessant warfare
on the turkey that he could not have
attended to a patient. After supper we
adjourned to the parlor where we spent
some time in pleasant and amusing
games. The time had now arrived to
disperse, all were loth to leave such
pleasant surroundings. After thanking
our charming young hostess for such an
enjoyable time, and wishing her many
such happy returns, we bid each other
good-bye and wended our way homeward.
Dr. and Mrs. Battle spent several days

days in upper Grassdale. Bro. Q. held a
quarterly meeting at the paujter farm on
Wednesday. Bro. White preached for
him at night. Our people enjoyed their
visit so much, was only sorry the time
was so short.
Bro. White preached his last sermon
for this year at Best's on Sunday, from
first Kings, twenty first chapter, second
and third verses. He made a grand
thing out of it, and it was one of his hap
piest efforts. He warned the people to

Quarterly meeting last week at Bartow
Chapel, and as usual, Bros. Quillain and
White did some excellent preaching. The
meeting was attended with much interest.
The Revival services conducted by Bro.
Quillain following the quarterly meeting
at Fairview, embracing the first Sunday,
was a success, resulting in fifteen acces
sions to the church.
We are glad to see the advance on cot
ton, but it has come too late to do our
farmers very much good, as the bulk of
the cotton has already been sold.
We regretted very much losing the cit
izenship of Mr. A. M. Tomlinson, the
photographer, and we heartily commend
him to the people of Cartersville as a
Christian hearted gentleman, and should
receive thehearty support of all who love
the right.
What troubles are more heart rending,
what tears so bitter, as those caused by
the disgrace and sinful acts of a sister?
Thus it is that we as Bartow county j>eo

ticket in our sister county arm the erec
tion of a doggery close on our borders,
whe the ugly animal shows his paw by
dealing out the deadly poison to our
boys, who would otherwise lead sober
lives. We trust sister Gordon will repent
very soon,
