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.

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.

Through Cartersville, Saturday and Tuesday a large number of the convicts employed at the Atlanta brick works, passed through Cartersville for Cedartown. They are to work on the Chattanooga Rome and Columbus rail road, and will begin on the Southern end, a few miles from the latter place. A large number of dump carts and mules have also been shipped over. The Atlanta Brick Company have con tracted for the building of about one hundred miles of tnis road, beginning at tin* northern end of Walker county and working down to Carrollton, skipping about fifteen or twenty miles, that por tion already built from Rome to Cedar town. This road will be one of the grand through lines of Georgia, and could be made of much benefit to Cartersville if our people will take advantage of their opportunity. The president of the com pany having the construction and opera tion of the road in charge, Mr. J. 1).

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.

Our Correspondent Visits the Eureka Roller Mills Near Kingston, G<t , Gain.-* A l ewis. Proprietors I is Shown Through the Building from Turret to llaonost, atnl is Lost Amid the In tricate Hue of Pulleys, Shafting, Cyclone Ousters, Middling Purifiers, Scalpers, Ktc. 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- All kinds of fruits and country produce always at Skinners.

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 f his name is “Old Ball.” S.

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. —Hattie. “Bonnie Brook,” near Cassville, Ga.

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.

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. W. B. WYNNE, Gadsden, Ala.

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.

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 in Rome. They report Will getting along very well. When he first went there he had a pair of fine pants he thought so much of that he sealed them over. Miss Lillie Montgomery is in Rome vis iting friends. Walt and Jim went to Rome to see Will. Walt Hawkins has had a bad time with a healed jaw, but is better now. Bros. Quillain and White spent two 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 shun all the isms and showed how sacred were the rights of property, even in the sight of God, and how much better it CHEAPEST LOAN AGENCY IN THE COUNTRY.

PINK LOO. 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 ple, favoring prohibition, have to suffer the ills arising from the voting of a wet 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.
