I>eath of ChM. A. Moon.
Chas. A. Moon died at 9:15 o’clock last
Friday morning, at his father’s resi
dence, after a lingering illness of many
months.
The deceased was abont twenty-eight
years old, and up to lour years ago,
when he first began to feel the symptoms
of that fatal malady, consumption, he
was the embodiment of manly vigor and
strength. But it was not long before
his physical powers began to yield to
the ravages of the disease, and he grad
ually grew weaker, until, like a flickering
candle, his life went out.
Chas. A. Moon was a genial, generous,
brave, noble-hearted fellow, a true friend,
an obedient son, a loyal and affectionate
husband and a tender and loving father.
It is sad that such a manly man should
be cut off in the bloom of his life and the
spring time of his usefulness. But such
was the Divine decree; and admiring
friends and loving relatives will not ques
tion the wise, but inscrutable purpose, in
thus early taking him away. They find
consolation in thehappy though*, that it
is well with him now. He bore his long
and sore afflictions with a true and beau
tiful Christian fortitude; and as his frail
bark drifted down the current to that
sure and inevitable vortex, his faith
grew’ stronger, and his hopes brighter,
each day, until at last, when the end
came, it was a grand triumph of the soul
over the stings of death and the horrors
of the grave. It was a peaceful separa
tion of spirit and body; a glorious pass
ing over the river to a life of immortality.
The funeral took place at the Metho
dist church, of which the deceased was a
member, at 9:30 o’clock, on last Satur
day morning. The services were con
ducted by Rev. H. J. Adams, assisted by
Rev. AA\ H. Cooper, pastor of the Bap
tist church, and Rev. J. S. Hillhouse,
pastor of the Presbyterian church, and
were very impressive. The remains were
interred at Oak Hill cemetery.
Tlie Cartersville Made Broom.
Joe Calhoun to-day brought to the
Cou rant-American office the first broom
turned out by the Cartersville Broom
Factory. It is a handsome and well
made broom —as good an article a*
turned out by any factory.
A word in behalf of the boys. They
have established here an industry t at
will be of beuf fit to the town and set an
example worthy of being followed by
others.’ They can make brooms as good
and as cheap as any other factory. AAV
take it, therefore, that no merchant of
Cartersville should buy a broom else
where or no citizen use one made at an
other factory. Give the boys your pat
ronage and help them make a big suc
cess of their first undertaking.
Tlie Cart rsville Iron Furnace Company
Some Alabama parties are negotiating
with the Cartersville Iron Furnace Com
pany, for the purpose of taking stock in
the enterprise, and also, in addition t >
erecting the iron furnace, to build a ferro
manganese furnace and a steel plant.
The stockholders held a meeting last Fri
day afternoon, and came to terms as to
what they would be willing to do in the
matter. It is probable a delegation of
the Alabamians will visit the city in a
day or two.
The trustees of the furnace, in the
meantime, are going ahead with their
work and having everything ready for
the commencement of the work as soon
as the company is chartered.
Cost of Raising 1 Colts.
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker figures that the cost of raising a
colt in that section of country to the age
of three years to be SB4, and then the
animal will sell at $l5O, giving a net
profit of SO6. Commenting on this
statement the Southern Live Stock Jour
nal says:
“AA T e cannot closely approximate how
much, in fact, it will cost to raise a colt
to maturity in the South, as we have not
given the matter any special thought or
pursued any special investigation in that
direction, but we are almost satisfied
within our mind that the cost can be re
duced to one-half what it would be in
New York State.
A House Burned Down.
Green Ilobinson, a worthy colored man
of this county, living; about three miles
from town, met with the misfortune of
having his house burned down last Tues
day night. It was a four room frame
building and caught about 11 o ? clock.
The family was sleeping in the house and
it was fortunate that all the children
were gotten out in time. There were but
few household goods saved.
Green has the sympathy of all in his
misfortune. He is one the best negroes
in the county and what he has got was
obtained by long years of close economy
and hard work.
Two Hot Days.
Last Sunday and Monday were the
two hottest days this year. The ther
mometer went up to 90 degrees in the
shade, and it was decidedly uncomforta
ble for all. But while we were sweating
under 90 degrees, the Atlanta Refrigera
tor Company was unable to keep the
thermometer in that city from going up
to 92 degrees. Columbus was 94, Gaines
ville 91, Macon 9G. Cartersville was
perhaps the coolest place in Georgia on
these two days.
In accordance with the Democratic call
the delegates recently elected will assem
ble in convention next Tuesday, July
3rd. All delegates elected are earnestly
requested to be present.

Senator “Joe” and the President.
Chicago Herald.]
That must have been rather an inter
esting meeting which took place recently
between Senator “.Toe” Brown, of Geor
gia, and the president. The senator had
not been at the white house for many
months. He lmd made two speeches
against the president’s message. One
was devoted to the question of protec
tion, and the other was a forcible argu
ment in favor of abolishing the internal
revenue according to the platform of ’B4
The junior Georgia senator. Colquitt,
who has recently distinguished himself
by a successful handling of the machine
in Georgia politics, had made a speech
in favor of retaining the internal reve
nue, which had been circulated in Geor
gia by means of office-holders’ subscrip
tions. The conversation between Mr.
Cleveland and Senator Brown doubtless
turned on the subject of the senator’s op
position to the message. It would have
been a treat for Senator Colquitt to have
listened to his dignified, reserved col
league saying:
“Mr. President, it is true I have spoken
in favor of abolishing the internal reve
nue system; I have done it not only be
cause I thought it right, but also at the
request ot my State. Three legislatures
have passed resolutions instructing the
Georgia senators and representatives in
congress to vote for such repeal. Besides
that, Mr. President, one set of these res
olutious came to me signed and approved
by my present colleauge. Senator Col
quitt, then governor of the State of
Georgia.”

A Bank Clerk’s Punishment.
Philadelphia Times.]
Anew method of punishing dishonest
bank clerks is now being tried in a certain
institution of that kind in New York.
Some time ago a clerk’s accounts were
investigated, and he was found to be
several thousand dollars short. To re
move and prosecute the man would have
been troublesome and apt to hurt the
reputation of the bank, so they have
made him stay, as if nothing had hap
pened, but have placed him in such a po
sition that he can take no more, and in
formed his fellow-clerks ot the defalca
tion. He is avoided by the insiders, and
his position is about as disagreeable as
can well be imagined. Constantly under
surveillance, he will work out in time the
amount he has taken, and will then be
discharged.
