STICKING IT TO STEGALL.
He is Charged With lleing Implicated in
the Matthews Robbery.
Will Stegall, a young white man, was
brought from Atlanta last Monday night,
and the following day was placed in the
county jail.
He is charged with concealing the money
stolen from L. B. Matthews last week,
for which theft Walter Jackson was bound
over to the sujierior court.
Young Stegall was brought before
Judge JM Neel yesterday afternoon for
committal trial. The statement of the
defendant and the testimony of the pros
ecution were quite conflicting. It seemed
as if the defendant had made several
different statements about the matter,
and he was consequently bound over
The evidence against both Jackson and
Stegall is overwhelmingly against them,
aud it looks exceedingly likely that both
will be sent on a little trip around the
mountain.

Jim Field’s faint at the opera house
the other night is looked upon with
suspicion by the fair sex. They think
he was trying to make capital, for he is
not given to chicken heartedness from

display of tender emotions is liable to
bring quite a number of the maids to
Jeems’ much worn shrine. We will im
patiently watch.

The case of McClatchey & Bailey vs.
Curry and Johnson, which attracted
much attention last week, was decided in
favor of the defendants. This verdict
was no surprise to those who witnessed
the proceedings of the trial, as the testi
mony proved conclusively that the plain
tiffs did not deliver such a marble shaft
as was contracted for, and therefore wei-e
not entitled to pay. Some of the best
citizens of this city were witness*! in the
case, and their statements were con

"Huwah Height*.”
About fifteen minutes’ ride from Car
tersville, Ga., brings one to the famous
heights known as “Etowah.” Here on
the eminence is the “Shelman’s home
stead,” a palace of Southern style, over
looking the beatiful Etowah river. This
house, conducted under the management
of Mrs. P. S. Shelman, a lady of marked
ability, wide reputation, and one who
aims to make everything comfortable
and home like for her guests, together
with her corps of able assistants, is de
stined to become a place to which those
who delight in home comforts and pleas
ures will gladly gather. The scenery is
grand, almost beyond description. As
far as the eye can see the country seems
to be bounded by range upon range of
mountains, each perfect in their loveli
ness. In close proximity to the house
is a pine grove through which guests can
wander and find it very enjoyable. There
are also many beautiful walks and fine
drives in various directions. The table
is supplied with the best of everything in
its season. The water is fine, and the
climate all that can be desired. Those
delighting in boating, fishing and shoot
ing will find this indeed a resort to be de
sired, where such pleasures can be enjoy
ed. It seems only a matter of time when
“Etowah” will be a far-famed summer
resort.
Among the guests stopping at “Eto

THE WORK COMMENCES.
The Road Into the Hills of the Etowah
Company Commenced,
Around old Etowah,a rnileor so below
Cartersville, from which in ante bellum
days were shipped millions of tons of the
finest iron that ever entered into the
manufacture of machinery, etc.,
is again beginning to wear its cld time
air of life.
Monday morning one hundred hands,
with teams, shovels and picks, congre
gated there to rebuild the old railroad
to the mines of the Etowah
Company, three or four miles distant.
This is the road that it was thought
might be induced to run out from the E.
&W. transfer yard. After a survey of
this route it was found that it would cost
a trifle over SB,OOO more to build it than
the one going out from Etowah, when the
idea was abandoned.
The superintendent of the Etowah
Company, Mr. Allison, is pushing the
work rapidly, and it will not be many
weeks ere the grand old mountains of
Etowah will again be startled from their
long sleep by the piercing shriek of the
iron horse.
TH* Wek at lh oprra Hoiim.
Andress’ carnival of performing birds,
animals, etc., occupied the opera house
Friday and Saturday nights of last
sreek. The performance was one of the
best of the kind ever given in this city.
The animals showed an understanding
that was simply wonderful, and obeyed
every • word from their master. The
other features were pleasing aud enter
taining.
The London Theater Company played
“Fogg’s Ferry” last Wednesday to a
fairly good audieuee. It is a four-act
comedy, and has many pleasing parts.
Miss Marian Fidler took the leading role
as “Chip,” and ably sustained herself
throughout. She is quits an attractive
little actress, has a sweet face, and her
manners are quite cute. As “Daddy
Fogg” Mr. Keinpshall is good, and his
every appearance on the stage was a sig
nal for laughter. The other members of
the company did excellently.
Thursday evening the company played
“My Partner,” in which they did equally
as well as the night before. The audience
were highly pleased with both perform
ances.
Mr. W. L. Bolt, formerly of Acworth
but now with Will F. Baker, of this city,
has a number of watches which were

This is to notify such parties that if they
are not taken out and all charges paid
they will on the first of April next be
