Shoving the Queer,
Jack Shelton, a negro who works tor
the E. &W. R. R., was last Tuesday
bound over to the next term of the
United States Court on the charge of
shoving the queer.
The evidence in the case showed that
Shelton had a spurious dollar in his
possession. This he gave to Bob Hoxie,
telling him to buy some whisky with it.
Hoxie got it changed by Alex Kennedy,
colored, of this city, who, in turn passed
it upon Col. R. H. Jones in the payment
of a debt. The counterfeit was discov
ered by Col. Jones and was traced back
to Bob Hoxie, who was arrested and
tried by Judge Collins. He was acquit
ted because he was ignorant of the
money Being bad, and the evidence
further showed that Jack Shelton had
full that it was counterfeit
money. He was arrested and bound
over as above stated.

Mr. L. S. Munford, we understand, will
shortly begin the building of a magnifi

Other buildings and improvements are
talked of, and it is quite likely that when
good building weather sets in a regular

DEATH OF MRS. COLLINS.
she In Stricken With l'arly*is and Pash; a
Peacefully Away.
The citizens of Cartersville were shock
ed last Sunday morning by the informa
tion thnt Mrs Collins, wife of Judge Aaron
Col ins, had been stricken with para-ysis
and was expected to die. She lingered
until Sunday evening about 7 o’clock,
when she expired. She was buried Tues
day morning, and the remains were fo -
lowed to their last resting place by a
large number of relatives and friends.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. H. J. Adams, pastor of the Metho
distchurch, assisted by Rev. W. H. Coop
er, pastor of the Baptist church.
Mrs. Collins, whose maiden name was
Miss Mary Kidd, was born in Wilkes
county, N. C-, and when quite young she
was married to Mr. Williams, which
made her the step-mother of
Mr. James H. Williams, of this
county. Her husband died in Polk coun
ty, Term., in 1858, and in April 9, 1859,
she was married to Judge Aaron Collins,
and in December following they moved
to Cartersville where they have since re
sided. In 1865 she joined the Christian
church while in Worthington, Ind., and
in December, 1868, she joined the Car
tersville Methodist church’ and she has
ever lived the life of a devoted Christian.
One who has known her intimately for a
number of years says he has never known
a more consistent Christian, a kinder
neighbor or a more loving mother. She
leaves a husband and an adopted daugh
ter to mourn her demise. She expressed
herself, when in perfect health as being
ready to await the Master’s call. Though
her illness was very short her many
friends did all that could be done for her,
but the disease was beyond human aid.

Dentil of i>*r. Mary Payne.
Thursday night of last week Airs.
Mary Payne, wife of Mr. Edward Payne,
after a lingering illness, breathed her
lust. She has for some time been effected
with that dread disease, consumption,
which finally resulted in her death.
Mrs. Payne was born August 5, 1834,
and was therefore in her fifty-fourth
year. She was married to Mr. Payne in
1853 and a large family of children
blessed the union. She was a member
of the Baptist church of this city and
died in the faith of the Lord. She was
buried in the city cemetery, Rev. W. H.
Cooper preaching the funeral sermon.
“My son, when you go to the city, get
you a bicycle, some tight pants, some
tooth-pick shoes, and a slender cane, but
with all your gettings don’t fail to get a
bottle of Salvation Oil, for “pride (you
know) goeth before a fall.”
HE WAS NOT GUILTY.
A Well Known Younjj Man is ( leared by
the Courts.
The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday
contained the following:
“A few days ago the. Constitution men
tioned the arrest of Mr. Ben Akennan,
a prominent young man of Cartersville,
upon a warrant sworn out by a man
named Johnson. The charge against
him was one growing out of the sale of
a horse.
“Mr. Akerman promptly gave bond
for his appearance in the city court, and
when the case was tried on yesterday he
was promptly acquitted.
“Before the ease was tried Mr. Aker
man was approached by representatives
of the prosecution with a proposition for
settlement. He refused to entertain any
such proposition, as the charge against
him was of a criminal nature, his posi
tion being that the charge having been
made he would have to fight it until the
court declared him innocent. After the
verdict of “not guilty” was rendered he
was willing to submit to arbitration the
question whether the horse sold to John
son was as represented, and would have
done so before but for his determination
to prove his innocence of any criminal
intent. He was represented by Messrs.
Hoke and Burton Smith.
“Mr. Akerman is one of the prominent
young men of Cartersville, a man who
stands high both in a social and business
way.”
Tne terminus of this case was nothing
more than was expected by those who
were acquainted with the facts. Johnson,
the prosecutor, went into court with no
case at all, and it was no wonder he
wanted to settle it before trial. Mr.
Akerman did right in refusing to listen
to such propositions. A serious charge
had been made against him and he owed
it to himself to have the matter invest -
gated by the courts that he might be
thoroughly vindicated. Johnson may
now be prosecuted in the courts.

A BIG PURCHASE.
A Wisconsin Man liuyg a Lot of Land
and Propone to Start a Town.
Mr. John P. Stegall sold last Monday
all of that lot of his land lying east of
the W. & A. R. R.
The purchaser of this land is Mr.
George W. Barber, of Milwaukee, Wis.
We understand the body contains about
two hundred acres of land and was sold
for about $5,000.
It is the intention of Mr. Barber to di
vide the land into lots and build upon
them. It is stated that he intends to
erect three hundred dwelling houses on
the place within the next twelve months.
Mr. Barber is one of a party of gentle
men who have been looking over the
county with a view to locating here. The
extreme cold weather of Wisconsin
forced them to seek residence elsewhere,
and after looking over other points of
the South they have decided on Bartow
county, they being greatly pleased with
our climate, agricultural and mineral
lands and other advantages. This party
expect to locate a large number of people
here. One of the gentlemen says thirty
families of his place are ready to move
South and he doesn’t think there will be
any trouble in inducing them to come
here.

Darned to Death.
A little six year old negro girl, Della,
daughter of Sam Ransom, was burned
to death last Wednesday on the place of
Mr J. R. Henderson, near Stilesboro.
The girl was in the house by herself
when she caught fire. The first known of
it was some hands on the place seeing
her run out of the house. Before they
could get to her her clothes were com.
pletely burned off and she was suffering
great agony. She lingered until 9 o’clock

her sufferings.

The Till Family Concert Company In
Beecher’s Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn.
From Rev. S. B. Hall id ay, Assistant Pastor
Plymouth Church.]
The entertainment given by the Till
Family, January 10th, was one of th
most satisfactory and delightful I hav
ever attended. I certainly never saw a
more gratified and enthusiastic audience;
everything seemed to please intensely,
and every performance was encored with
an earnestness and insistence that
brought them on the platform so fre
quently as to double the number prom
ised on the program. All the many
instruments used were curious, and such
music as was produced from them was
absolutely charming, and brought a
sort of spell upon the house. I can
only add that all that one could expect
from the circular was more than realized.
There was not a particle of anvthing in
the character of the Band or any of its
performances that was not eminently
deserving of commendation. No society
engaging their services will regret it, and
no one, having heard them, that will not
want to hear them again.
