AN OLI) MINER. lie Smui. Up tli Matter and Concludes We Hava All We Want. For several years prior to the war and during the period since then, Mr. Donald Tracy has been actively engaged in min ing in this immediate section and in the northern portion of Alabama. He has always held that our section was the richest in minerals of any he had ever seen, which takes in a large scope of eoun through the South. In speaking of the future prospects of our mineral wealth, the old miner became very interesting. He says that our min erals are in greater quantity and finer quality than that of Anniston, Rock Run or Round Mountain,and says the mining is considerably more profitable. He re called the discovery of the Bartow oie beds in ttiis county. He said that Capt. Mi'Ncal was under the impression that the beds at the furnaces at Bartow had been exhausted and at once began dra w ing upon the Crow bank, a few* miles dis tant for his supply. He had been hauling, by wagon, this ore for some time, when by accident some one, in working over the old mines at the furnace, discovered a new vein. This vein, what was thought to be merely a hole in the ground, has proven a bonanza and ore enough has been dug therefrom and shipped to for eign furnaces to run the old Bartow* for a hundred years. Mr. Tracy is a miner of information as to the minerals of this section. He is posted thoroughly and is of the opinion that this section will yet show a full hand and soon prance to the front rank where it belongs. Our meat salt is put up 200 tbs to the sack, at same price others are selling 125 and 150 sacks. E. Strick land, S' Bro. Notice to the Afflicted.

Mynatt, a distinguished memberyif Atlanta bar, passed through Curtersvillelast Sunday on his way home from a visit to his aged mother who lives at Bine Log, in this county. While in the city the Colonel told a startling and strange story to a few friends that we think would not be amiss to publish. As is well known,Colonel Mynatt is an excel lent gentleman, whose integrity is above suspicion—one of the very best citizens of Atlanta and Fulton county. He says that a few weeks ago his mother, who has been ill for some time at her home at Bine Log, was sitting in front of her fire place when she startled her family with the announcement: “Poor Susan is dead, she's gone to her rest.” She repeated this several times during the day. The lady she had reference to was a daughter living in western Texas, thousands of miles away, whom she had not seen in years. In a week or ten days alter this letters were received by Col. Mynatt in Atlanta and his mother at Bine Log, to the effect that “Susan the daughter and sister had departed this life very suddenly, the letters giving full accounts of her short and fatal ill lU,Ss—so short that there was no time to advise her Georgia relatives even of her serious illness. Col. Mynatt is no believer of spiritualism, or in spooks, but to say that he is somewhat bewildered at this remarkable occurrence, would not be half expressing it. Our Xmas novelties, fruit cake material and a host of nice (foods, will arrive this ire Ac, and in order to get the nicest and freshest goods you must come to h. Strick land Bros. I handle nothing but the best goods and give nothing but the best prices for cotton. Yours for fair play. , ou \V. K.

THE TATTLERS TALK. Sjiw'ial (Y>rr**rtfmrM)*VK'* J W AsniNdToN. November2l. Mr. Frank Gordon will be married to Miss Kilbourn in Itcrrinlier. The marriage hi s|token of bv the \\ ashingtou society papers as one oi the coining social events of import ance. Frank Gordon is not only the son of his father (and that of itself is much), but he is a handsome, intelligent and popular young man, who stands well in Georgia, and has many friends there ns well as in Washington who like him be cause lie is really a charming and popu lar man. The bride-elect is the daughter of Mr. Mullet Kilbourn, well known in Washington City. The father is rich. I do not know his wealth, but have reliable information that he has made big money of late years in Washington real estate. He also has large newspaper interests here that pay him handsomely. So it is certain that, in addition to securing a pretty and accomplished ” wife, young Gordon will marry a woman of lai-ge property. * * . * Rev. Sam Jones will “Git There” at the Congregational Church in this city one evening of the present week. He will sjieak to a large and curious audience. He preached in Washington once last year but it wasou short notice, and there are hundreds of people here who are anxious to seethe original and only Sam. I will be in the midst, and if anything beyond the ordinary isdeveloped you will Is* advised of it in due time. Sam Small is now livingin Washington. He tells me that he cAme here because of the central location and the easy access from h°re to all parts of the country. He is connected with the educational work of the Southern Methodist Church, and spends very much of his time on the road. Mr. Small has delivered several lectures uml sermons in this city recently, and at every service he has tilled the largest churches. Indeed the people have been almost clamorous to hear him. I was amused at a demonstration made in front ot the Mount Vernon Methodist Church one evening recently when he was to preach there. For some reason the church doors were not opened until seven o’clock. The crowd began to gather at six, and had grown to considerable pro portions before the doors were opened, and some impatience was manifested. People could be heard growling and com plaining that church doors were closed against them. One of the stewards of the church ha’ppened to tie on the steps, and he was urged to open the doors. He was slow about it, and a man in the rear of the crowd sung out, “Open the doors!” Still there was delay, and the cry was caught u]) by another, and another, “Open the doors.” Finally a man spoke up in a very positive and determined way that the doors had to be opened; that it was foolishness to lock the jteople out; that there were old ladies outside who had stood and waited until they could stand up no longer, and that if the church authorities couldn’t open the doors somebody would do it for them. This demand opened the doors, and every seat in the large church was filled in ten min utes. That struck me as a remarkable demonstration in front of a church door. It showed how anxious the people were to hear Small. 1 may add that the sermon that night was a splendid effort, and drew tin* closest attention. * * * Rev. Charles A. Stakely, pastor of the Fret Baptist Church in Charleston, and widely known in Georgia, has accepted a call to tin* Firt Baptist Church in Wash ington, and will begin his pastoral work on the first Sunday in December. Mr. Stakely is quite a boy in appearance. He is slender and beardless, and does not look to be over twenty-five years of age. But his reputation as a preacher and pul pit orator is well established in Georgia and South Carolina. He entered the ministry about the time or soon after young Warren A. Candler, now of Nash ville, joined the Methodist conference. They had churches in Augusta at the same time, I think, and both were almost phenomenally successful. Mr. Stakely pieaches with vigor. He speaks without manuscript, and his words come with graceful fluency. The church to which he comes has need of a good man, and there is a splendid opportunity for him to do good. Mrs. Abda Johnson and Miss Julia Johnson spent last week in Washington, the guests of Mr. Alonzo Chureh, once a resident of old Cassville and a law part ner of Col. Johnson’s. Mrs. J. and Miss Julia saw most of the places of interest in Washington and went away pleased with their visit. They saw the capitol, and even went up the BOA steps to the dome. They saw the Smithsonian Insti tute and the National Museum, with their rich and varied collections. They saw the Corcoran Art Gallery and White House; the Latent Bureau and the Treasury Department. It was my pleas ure fo carry them through the winding vaults of the Treasury where can be seen in one vault 240 foils of silver, and where scores of women are busy at tables count ing and arranging bundle after bundle of greenbacks. They also took a jteep at the Hogues' Gallery where thieves from every State and Territory in the Lnion are photographed for the curious sight seers to look at. There are more points of interest to the intelligent seeker after information in this city than in any other place in the world perhaps, and a week spent here is time richly invested. Mrs. Johnson and Miss Julia left for Georgia last Saturday. * * * This letter has been given up to per sonal mention. Next week I shall try to give a pen-sketch of the Treasury Depart ment, with some of its interesting fea tures ; and also to indicate how business is done in that great establishment. W. J. N.

She expresses herself as much gratified at the progress that this noble band of Christian women is making. At the con vention were delegates from nearly every State, among them, many of the most prominent ladies of the land. The pro ceedings of the convention were charac terized by a dignity and ability rarely, if ever surpassed by like assemblies. There is no organization in the country that is accomplishing more good than the W. C. T. U., and it. should receive every pos sible support and eucouragement.

I have been troubled with acute rheumatism most of the time since IN4O, ami a larjre portion of the time to so (treat an extent as to deprive me of attending to my business, it finally stot into my left side, hip and leir. and for tin* last eisrht or ten years! have tveen troubled with it in my rijtht 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 bottles and of an other three, neither of which did me any cood. Finally I was pursuaded to try Hunnieutt's Rheumatic Cure. After taking one bottle and before the second was all taken 1 bejran to im prove, and l-fore I had taken the sixth bottle i was eured sound and well and I now feel like a new man 1 can now walk miles in a day and work outdoors in any kind of weather without the slightest inconvenience. 1 do not tadieve your Rheumatic cure has an equal in the world. 1 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, intfitminatory or chronic rheumatism that your remedy will not cure if taken according to direc tions and persevered in. I have almost daily calls from personsinquiring 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. Is. WYNNE, Gadsden, Ala.

New Orleans Picayune.] The telegraphic reporter from San An tonio, Texas, that the “Star of Bethle hem” was seen in the heavens there at midday on Tuesday, was doubt less based oil the api tear a nee in the sky of a star sufficiently bright to be seen at the hour named, hut it must have been the planet Venus, which is exceedingly bright at this period. It rises about three hours earlier than the sun, and is a splendid object in the early morning sky, and is doubtless visible at any time of the day. The appearance of Venus during the hours ot daylight only occurs when it occupies a particular position wit h regard to the sun and earth, and when so seen it has attracted great attention from persons who did not know what it was, having been sometimes the object of superstitious awe. The “Star of Bethlehem” for which it has just been mistaken was a singularly bright star which was first seen and des cribed by the Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe, in August of 1572. It appears in the constellation of Cassiopeia’s chair, which is always visible in the northern sk.v on clear nights, being situated on the side of the North Star around which it revolves, exactly opposite to the “great hear" or “dipper.” This star re mained in sight for more than a year when it disappeared. The telescope had, at that time, not been invented, and all observations were made with the unas sisted eye. The new star was seen to be of extreme brilliance equal to Venus at her brigh test. Lepler, an eminent astronomer, and Dr. Cardan, a distinguished writer on scientific subjects, studied this strange star and claim to have discovered that it had previously appeared at intervals of about 315 years, one of those periods having been at the date generally accep ted as the time of the nativity of Christ. Calculating forward the next appearance should be in 1887. At any rate the as tronomers have been on the watch for it for several years past, but the expec ted visitation has not yet been heralded. Deafness Can’t be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi tion of the mucus liningof the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can betaken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucus surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circular, free. F. J. Cheney & Cos., Toledo.

They are not likely to find a man equal to Mr. Beecher anywhere, but if such a person is living he is more apt to be in America than in England. Mr. Beecher was an American in brain, vein and tissue; lie made his church the most distinctively American organization of its kind on the continent, and his spirit will hardly be pleased to see the place which he made famous occupied by the Rev. Charles H. Berry from England. Mansfields Cream of the South , the purest flour that comes to Cartersville.

Gainesville Register.] More than tea months ago a man living in this community skipped for Texas. Two of our leading citizens became engaged in a friendly lawsuit over some property he left behind. Due attached it and the other filed a claim. The case remained in the justices’court until yesterday, the property having been sold b.v consent some time ago. The parties announced ready for a final trial on yesterday. A conference between the attorneys showed that after paying the costs, leaving out a heavy bill of witness fees, there was just ninety cents left. They called the witnesses aside and proposed to give them all the money involved in the suit if thej would accept it in satisfaction of fees. When the announcement was made the court smiled, the parties put their heads together for a confidential talk, the at torneys looked like orphans a great dis tance from home, the witnesses pocketed ninety cents and there was a great calm.

The New York World, anti-Cleveland* the morning after the election said: The result of the election in this State settles three points as thoroughly as any politi cal event can be settled in advance: President Cleveland will be renominated by his party. Mr. Blaine will not be re nominated by the Republicans. Mr. George will not control the election next year. New York is the pivotal State. Mr. Cleveland’s friends have had a com plete triumph. They are entitled to the fruits of the victory. Grover Cleveland is indeed a lucky man: and Janies G. Blaine may be said to be a dead cock in the j lit.
