(’apt. Towers made a good suggestion
to us the othar day. Let Bartow county
have a man of good judgment to display
and explain our resources as represented
at the Rome Exposition. Let them gix-e
letters of introduction to visitors who
want to see our iron fields, splendid
lands, etc. Let a committee be appointed
to receive them here and show them
around. Some such a plan would be a
great advantage to us.
The furnace matter remains not defii
nitel.v settled, as the Birmingham syndi
cate is considering a proposition from

would readily accept such a proposition’
and put in a furnace plant. It is only
a question of a little time—but furnaces
we are bound to have. No place in Geor
gia offers as fine a field for this class of
investment as Cartersville.

For the past ten years I have been afflic
ted with dreadful eruptions on my face,
caused by ivy poison. I was under the
treatment of a number of physicians, but
obtained no relief. I tried the best
“blood purifiers in the market, but with
out ax’ail. I had given up in despair,
thinking I could not be cured; but hap
pening to read the Detroit Journal, I
noticed S. S. S. advertised and read Mrs.
Bradley’s testimonial. I thought I
would try this remedy. I have taken
eight bottles, and there is not a spot on
my face. It has also cured me of chronic
catarrh. I hax'e never enjoyed better
health than Ido at present. I feel like a
new person. 1 cannot find words suffi

merits, and the gratitude I feel for the
glad tidings that came to me through
the reading of that advertisement. Wish
