Small Manufactures.
I wonder why our people don’t give more at
tention to small enterprises? They all seem to
make money when well managed. That chair
factory at Marietta has made Mr. Brumby rich.
Colonel Jones, of our town, has made lots of
money competing with northern buggies and
wagons. Railroads do nothing but carry. They
produce nothing, manufacture nothing. What
the south wants is manufactures of all kinds,
little ones and big ones. —“Bill Ar,.”
The Bartow county philosopher is emi
nently correct in the above. Small manu
factories do more to build up a commu
nity than everything else combined.
Look at our little neighbor, Adairsville,
with her fine flouring mill, cotton facto
ry and other institutions of like nature.
There are no reasons why such institu
tions should not thrive in Cartersville.
Timber of the very finest quality can be
had in inexhaustible quantities at our
very doorst The R. H. Jones flfc Sons’
manufacturing Company inform us that
they find no trouble in obtaining all the
material they want, and of the very best
quality, too. They have already stored
away car load upon car loacj of timber
ready to be converted into buggies, wag
ons, etc. CqL Jones has made money
here, and there is no reason why other
people cannot do the same. An axe
handle factory, or barrel and tub factory,
or anything of that nature could be run
to success here. Brumby's sqcppss in
Marietta can be easily emulated In Car
tersville by anybody with a small amount
of capital. Gentlemen, let us move in
the matter of small manufactories at
once and move our beautiful little city
along to the foremost ranks.

For Thk Couramt.J
THE DEAR OLD TOWN.
“Sut Buncomb” Wields a Weighty Pen
in Protection of His Dear Old Home,
Cassville.
My Dear Old Aleck:
Pardon me for addressing you in such
endearing terms, for I feel quite friendly
this morning and want to be intimate
tbat I may the more easily call up some
of the recollections of the past.
I read the other day an article in the
Cartersville American headed “Reminis
cences,” copied from the Anniston Hot
Blast , as they are related by an “Old
Roman.” The old gentleman speaks in
glowing terms of the town as it was forty
years ago, and mentioned by name some
of its illustrious citizens, winding up by
saying that “Cassville has vanished long
since and hardly has a name.”
Now my object in writing is to enter
my protest against this old togared Ro
man wiping our little rural village off
the map of the world. A fellow feels
sorter lonesome like when he realizes he
has no latitude and longitude. It is all
true, as he stated: “We had once the
best town in Cherokee Georgia, noted
for its thrift, for its intelligence, for its
legal fraternity, illustrious all over Geor
gia for its pretty women, its springs of
living water, its hospitable homes, whose
latch strings hung on the outside of the
doors—extending Welcome to all.” In
fact, he might have exhausted all the su
perlatives of excellence and not said too
much of the good old place. But we
want it put on record that though the
place was shattered by the “vandal foe,”
we still live and and have some
pride and activity. t. . ,
Our old Roman friend further says that
“the State Railroad left Cassville out at
her own request, and this effectually
made it a finished town.” Now there is
a legend among us that is quite at vari
ance with this version. It is possible,
however, that during those times there
may have been a few Pharisaical olu
hypocrites that objected to the railroad
coming because it would bring immoral
society. But the sequel has it that one
Mr. Hargrove (who was one ot the direc
tors of the road) and who owned the
old Solomon place (now owned by Sim
Munford) wanted the railroad to run
through his land and locate a depot on it,
to the exclusion of Cassville. fils pro
ject prevailed as to the location of the
road, but by the action of the citizens lie
was defeated in getting the depot, and it
is said, in disgust of his failure, soon af
terwards sold out all of his possessions
in and around Old Cassville and went to
Rome. Which version is the most plausi
ble? There was trickery no doubt in the
whole matter of the location of the road,
for it made a great elbow, from a direct
line of six additional miles, to go around
Cassville to the cost to the State of sever
al hundred thousand dollars But we
contend that the town was not ruined as
completely as the “Old Roman” said by
the road going around her, for her palm
iest days was years after this, when her
colleges w re chartered and built, and
she became the Mecca of educational ad
vantages for Cherokee Georgia. Besides
this, the Legislature had granted the
town a charter for the extension of the
road by Cassville, on condition that the
citizens would grade the extension, which
they would have done but for the war.
It Is true, as the “Old Roman” said, we
furnished the backbone for Rome when
we gave them some of our illustrious
citizens, prominent among whom were
the Wrights, Underwoods, Blacks, Mil
lers, Words, Hargroves, Russels, Hoop
ers and Hamiltons. But we plenty
left of the same sort, with which we have
since the war stocked several other envi
ous cities, and wp flight rerparfc that we
are still able to stock a few more with
the same sort of grafts, though they may
be a little degenerated.
So now, dear old Aleck, put us on the
map again. I know the American won’t
object, for he was one of us—dandled on
our knees and gathered inspiration at our
fountains, pours tflj death,
eT4 Bukgomb.
SUNDAY SERMONS.
Our Churches are Well Filled with Gos
pel-Loving People.
The churches were all well attended at
all the services Sunday. Our people
tifken a lifost lively Interest in their
spiritual welfare and our iqinisters, all
able and talented gentlemen, are grati
fied at the result of their labors.
THE PRESBYTERIAN.
Sunday was the second Sunday for the
Fftspytefiap qew qiinister, Rev.
Mr. RLillliquse, who lias just removed frqrq
Ringgold to our'town. Mr. Hillhouse lias
made quite a start with liis church and is
well liked by our people generally. He
preached from the text;
.“She has done wliat she could.”
A fine and interested audience was pres-
ent to the sermon, a very imperfect
synopsis of which we are able to present:
“When some who were in attendance
von*plainpd that the preoioqs ointment had
been and that it had been better to
haye sold it and the proceeds given to the
poor, the Saviour rebuked them and said
she had done a good work; that she had
manifested a royal love toward Him by
contributing the most precious thing she
had to his comfort and pleasure. God de
manded fhe best fqr all Ris children, and
woqld be satisfied with notliipg less.
When sin offerings were made, the best
was required that tlie person was able to
make—a lamb without spot or blemish—a
pair of doves, or even a handful of flour,
according to the ability of those making
the offerqig, and 4 FftS such, cmly ? that
iyas accepted and blessed. Christ com
manded the widow who cast her two mites
into the treasury, saying, “She hath done
more than ye all, in that she hath given
her entire living.” The nature of our ac
tions is what God approves. All that we
are and all that we have are Ilis—our bod
ies, our means, our influence. If we con
gpefftte these gifts to His honor and service
ft seals pur appeptanpe with Him fj,nd in
vokes Ris blessing qpon u§. The talent
hidden away in a napkin will bring us into
condemnation and be taken away from us.
Some men love to see the fruits of their
good works manifested in the lives of those
around them. Others sow the seed that
other generations will reap. We are not
tp look for the fruit —our duty is to sow
thp gpefl and leave the results to God. This
igst thoqght wag happjly fllqstr&ted by the
life and death of Harriet who left
ease and plenty in this country to gq as a
Missionary to China, but who died before
she ever had an opportunity of speaking a
word for Christ. It looked like a waste of
ppergy and devotion, but no doubt her
ponsecratpd life 4 ea fh had given a
greater impetus to the missionary cause
than would haye resulted from a long life
spent in missionary work.”
AT THE METHODIST.
The Methodist pulpit was filled by
Rev. Sam P. Jones in the morning, a
short report of whose sermon appears
elsewhere, sn<J fp the afternoon Mr.
George Qijrpath gayp a good congrega
tion some gospel truth. Mr. G. is now
very old and has been a noble worker in
the Lord’s vineyard.
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
Notwithstanding the dampness under
foot and the threatening aspect of the
weather, the Baptist church was full of
attentive listeners on Sunday evening.
The interest which lias been increasing
in this congregation for several weeks,
reached its climax at this sermon, and
many a moist eye told the story of deep
feeling within. The pastor, Rev. W. 11.
Cooper, preached from the parable of
the “Prodigal Son,” as recorded in the
15th chapter of Luke. We present the
following imperfect and short synopsis
of the discourse:
Text: Luke 15—11, 24.
There are differences of opinion as to
the application of this parable—some
claiming that it refers only to the uncon
verted sinner, while others claim that its
only reference is tothe backsliding Chris
tian. The object of the senuou, evident
ly, is to show the readiness of bur Heav
enly Father to forgive and to bless all
who in real repentance come to Him for
pardon for their sins, whether from
among Ilis own children or among those
who have never before given their hearts
to Him.
First, I ask you to notice the folly of
the youug man in conducting himself as
he did. JJe wanted to get away from the
‘‘old man’s” uoiitroWfo have his share
now—and to get away from home as fur
as possible.
flow many there are now like him.
They are not willing to submit to good ;
they are tired of Hi? retrain ts: tW
say: I’ know not the Lord rteUhei will
oliey His voice. And though heaven,
with all its--eternal glories, is promised
them as the reward of a pious life, tney
prefer to have “a good time” now—tak
ing the pleasures of the world, its hon
ors and riches lor their portion rather
than the endearing riches ol the on
ly inheritance.
Second, You will observe that when
all had gone, when he had turned him
self out to feed hogs, and when he had
to satisfy himself on the same kind ot
food the hogs lived upon, he finally be
gan to think of his condition, to see his
folly, and determined to return to ms
father’s house and ask for a place there
again—even as a servant’s place.
You will notice the scripture says:
“When lie came to himself.” He had
not thought before —had not reflected.
And that is the reason why people go to
hell now; they do not think about where
they are going, if men would only
think of the consequences of sin they
would at once turn to God.
What a foolish exchange sinners do
make—the pleasures of a tew short hours
for the bliss of eternity. This young
man saw his mistake and corrected it.
lie came back, too, with the right sort of
feelings. He took all the blame on him
self, and hogged the father’s forgiveness.
So must sinners, both in and out of the
church, come to God w ith real Sorrow
for their sins, not blaming Hie church or
anybody else, but confessing that they
are guilty and deserve punishment.
And last of all, I want you to notice
the kind reception the father gave him
when he got back home. Doubtless he
had been waiting for him a long time,
and wondering when he would come.
At last one day he espied him in thp dis
tance, rtviU forward to meet him, threw*
his arms around the hoy’s neck, granted
him pardon and showered upon him all
kinds of favors. So under this beautiful
figure our Saviour seeks to show how*
God “waits to be gracious” to every
backsliding Christian, to every patient
souj, Q°d is anxious fipr ypqr return
longs to forgive and to save.
A girl In Scotland, having wandered
from her mother’s home, returned one
night after a long absence. From a dis
tance she saw a light through the win
dow, and by that found the path that led
to the old home. Reaching the door, she
found it slightly ajar, and opening it was*
reoeiyfd into {he mother’s open arms,
who in answer to the daughter’s ques
tions, replied: “I thought you would
come back, and I kept tlie lamp burning
and the floor open every night so that
you might know you would bo wel
come.” So God keeps the door of heav
en open for us. The gates are not only
“ajar,” but taken off their hinges and
put to one side till all have oome In w ho
hear the Father's voice saying, “Child,
come home,” and are at rest within the
vale. _

LILLIAN MADISON’S IjEATU,
Richmond, April 11—Thequestion of
the hanging of T. J. Cluverius for the
murder of Fanny Lillian Madison, is now
in the hands of the highest court of the
state, the condemned man having asked
for anew trial on the ground of newly
discovered evidence.
In the later part of last summer Rachel
McDonald, an aged maiden lady, living
near the reservior in which the body of
Lillian Madison was discovered, was
found dead in her yard with her throat
cut. Apparently every effort was made
to discover the means ot her death, but
without avail. lier property is in the
hands of the court. Now comes the start
ling news that witnesses have been found
to prove that Miss McDonald was murder
ed *md that they will appear before the
nextgrand jury of the county (Henrico)
with more positive evidence.
Still more startling is the information
tbat Lillian Madison, who, it was thought,
was thrown into tlie reservior by her
cousin, Cluyerius, died fit thp house of
Miss McDonald from an qttempt at
malpractice, and was thrown into the
water after death. All these rumors
have excited the greatest interest, and
counsel for Cluverius were not slow in
doing everything possible to get the facts
of JVliss McDonald’s death out. One of
the shrewdest detectives in the country
has been in the case.
A couple from Bangor, Me., were
mitried near Boston some weeks ago,
and started homeward by rail, leaving
their gifts to follow in the city of Cam
bridge, which went to pieces on the
coast of Maine. They have recently
learned that the box of presents bad
drifted ashore, and that the silver table
ware was in use among the fishermen
along the coast, while the less servicea
ble pictures and ornaments decorated the
cabins. The owners have gone in quest.

bus Ga., tells his experience, thus; “For three
years have tried every remedy on the' market
for stomach and Kidney Disorders, hut got no
relief, until I used Electric Bitters. Took five
bottles and am now' cured, and think Electric
Bitters tlie Best Blood Purifier in the world.”—
Major A. B. Reed, of West Liberty, Ky„ used
Electric Bitters for au oiq standing Kidney affec

PRAYING FOR PROHIBITION.
Washington, April 11. —Chaplain Mil
burn’s prayer in the house yesterday
morning was as follows:
“Oh, God, answer, we beseech Thee, the
supplications of millions of hearts as
cending to thee for a speedy close of the
greatest evil of modern society—drun
kenness. Linked with almost every vice
and crime in the loathsome oompact with
garuing houses and brothels, it burdens
the criminal dockets of the courts of
justice, throngs the poor house, the mad
houses, jails and gibbets, drives men to
despair through the snake. Wreathed
portals of delirium tremens, unbars the
posterns ot life that they may slink into
the cowardly grave of suicide. Begin
ning most often in allowing the taste in
a jocund bond of good fellowship, it be
comes an appetite and master passion
which destroys the body, darkens the
intellect, blinds the moral sense, deadens
the soul, drives God out of men’s spirits
and paralyzing the will, hinds men and
women hand and foot and casts them into
hell, leaving an entail of despair and
wretchedness to their children.’’
A gentleman who resides in Kansas
has written to the authorities at Castle
Garden for a wife. He describes him
self as a “widorer, about 40 yrs. ol age,
five feet 6 inches an as good a man as
gineral avirage men at my age with dark
hair and brown eyes.’’

present, flatulency, uneasiness of tbe stomach,
