ham in the near future. —Cedartown
correspondent , Borne Courier.
Cedartown Advertiser: Messrs. S. L.
and A. D. Vandiyere came over from
Cartersville. The authorities of the E.
and W. road have been generous and
kind to them during the affliction and
since their brother’s death, paying all ex
penses, and, owing to his faithfulness as
au employe and their sympathy for the
survivors, are likely to make a donation
to the parents ot whom the young man
was a main stay.
Cheaper insurance is a problem to be
solved by our merchants and people gen
erally. There is only fifteen or twenty
thousand dollars sent out of Cartersville
every year for insurance. A well organ
ized tire company would reduce the
amount at least twenty per cent.
Mr. Nat Rich, a Bartow county raised

will push his invention with a liberal
display of printer’s ink. He will make
a success of it undoubtedly.
It has been proposed to have a colt
show here in the fall. Let the agricul
tural clubs ot the county take the matter

the ball be put in motion, gentlemen,
and let us show to the world that as fine
stock can be raised in Bartow county as
anywhere.
Mrs. Wm. W. Rainey has recently

her well-earned reputation for keeping a
first-class hotel.

tain that Mr. V. will make a most bril
liant success ot his new undertaking as
his record as an energetic gentleman is
well known.
•The Rising Fawn cat story, as pub
lished by the Chattanooga Times , turns
out to be a canard. Col. J. R. Towers,
principal keeper of the penitentiary, in
formed The Courant that he was at
Rising Fawn the day the article appeared
and said the people of the place were
very indignant.
Judge Fain, on account of sickness, did
not hold court thts week. The Judge
has a hogts of friends iu this community
who would like to see him the next con
gressman from this district. lie has al
ways proven himself an efficient and
popular servant of the people and it is no
wonder he has so many friends.
Mr. Sam Carter, a progressive young
merchant at Cass Station, spent a few
hours in our town Monday. He it a
very clever young gentleman and we are
glad to learn that he in connection with
his brothers are doing well. They keep
a flue stock and are giving great satisfac
tion to the people of the community.
D. W. MoDade, of Cartersville, was
on a visit to Lawrenceville last week.
He was raised near our town but has not
been here since our railroad was built,
and he says he hardly knew the town,
there has been so many changes. Mr.
McDade Is an engineer on the Western &
Atlantic Railroad, where he has been em
ployed for nineteen years.— Gwinnett
Herald.
Rev. Sam Small and the editor of the
Columbus, (Miss.,) Democrat made
things rather warm during the late
meeting. The editor called the reverend
Samuel a liar through the columns of
his paper while Small referred to the
editor in slighting remarks from the
pulpit. Small’s remarks on the social
standing of the Columbus people brought
about the trouble.
One of the neatest establishments in our
town is the bijou of a jewelry store of
Megsrs. Turner A Baker. This enter
prise will certainly be handsomely sus
tained by the people of Ccrtersville and
Bartow county as well fills a long felt
want. The display of nice goods is cred
itable indeed and would put to shame
others iu cities of more pretensions
claims,
Our merchants have made great prep
arations for a lively spring trade and say
that they are determined to bring the
country people here to trade if good
goods and low prices can do it. We see
no reason, with such low rents and
taxeg and the cheapness with which bus
iness generally can be run, why this
should not be the best market iu this
section. Our county people should take
pride in sustaining their county town by
all means.
The county commissioners met at Eu
harlee last week and let out at the lowest
bidder the following contracts for the
rebuilding of bridges carried away dur
ing the late freshet. The bridge at
Stilesboro mills was let to a couple of
gentlemen from Cherokee county and
the consideration was $219.50. For
$129.50 Mr. J. M. Dorsey agreed to re
place the Smith bridge on the Alabama
road. Both contracts are to be finished
in thirty days. The total damage to our
bridges will fall short of $1,200.
A Pleasant Summer Resort.
“Etowah Heights,” the beautiful coun
try residence of Capt. C. T. Shelman, on
the Etowah river about ten miles from
Cartersville, has been thrown open for
the entertainment of summer boarders.
Already several parties from the North
have engaged rooms. The prospects for
a lively time during the dull summer
months are flattering indeed. Special
arrangements will also be made lor the
entertainment of drummers who wish to
take a few day3’ rest from off the tire
some road, and it will be an especially
attractive place to stop over Sunday.
The scenery at “Etowah Heights” is
grand, while the flghing is fine. A more
pleasant place to spend the dull summer
months is not to be found in this section,
and we are glad to see Capt. Shelman
take the steps he has in making our com
munity a popular summer resort. This
is what has made Marietta the live town
she is. We are certain that we offer just
as good inducements as that city, both as
to healthfulness and attractiveness. The
ball has now been put in motion by Cap
tain Shelman. Now let the people go to
work and see that something is done.
Already Maj. Whitlock, of Marietta, has
been compelled to turn away over fifty
applicants this early in the season. He
will soon commence the addition of fifty
more rooms to his already large house.
By a little display of energy a great many
could be prevailed upon to spend a few
months here.
A Darkey’s Disturbed Digging:.
The other morning Dr. Lindsay John
son discovered an old colored man dig-
ging a hole in the rear of his lot, and,
thinking something wrong, began to ap
proach the darkey in his work. The old
fellow espied the doctor, and, growing
alarmed, dropped his pick and began to
move away very hurriedly. This action
on his part caused the doctor to think
that he had arrived in time to witness the
last scene in a terrible tragedy. lie fol
lowed the now well frightened old dar
key and soon overtook him. Tne old
fellow informed the doctor that he had
been told by some great power that an
immense amount of wealth had been
buried in that locality, and in pleading
tones assured his captor that he was only
obeying the commands of this power to
unearth the hidden treasure.

JACKSON JUMPS.
Tobe Jackson Plays a Good Scheme anil
Maks His Escape.
At the present writing Tobe Jackson
is still “cutting the buck.”
Tobe still sustains his reputation as a
very flip young man.
Last week’s Cor rant eontamed a full
report of Tobe Jackson’s capture and the
arrival Murphyjat Waco, lexas. to
bring him back to Georgia. Mr. Mur
phey arrived at Chattanooga Tuesday
without experiencing anything worthy of
note save a short delay at Little Rock on
account of high waters. With liis pris
oner, Mr. Murphey had boarded the
State Road train bound for Atlanta, at
midnight. While seated in the coach
with his prisoner beside him chained to
a seat, the officer concluded to wire in
telligence of his coming arrival to the
marshal’s office at Atlanta. Tobe knew
his intentions and planned the scheme
that effected his escape. He asked Mr.
Murphey to take the handcuff from his
right wrist, complaining that it was
causing him pain. Mr. Murphey did as
requested, and in a few' minutes started
to the telegraph office to send the mes
sage spoken of, askiug a passenger near
to watch the prisoner.
No sooner had Murphey left the coach
than Tobe asked his new' guard to:
“Please bring me a glass of water as you
see that I am fastened so that I cannot
wait on myself.” This caught the guard.
In going after the w'ater the guard had
to pass through a partition door, out of
sight of his new charge. His hack had
hardly been turned before Tobe, with
the unconfined hand, reached down and
pulled the boot around which a heavy
chain passed and which was locked to a
seat.
*Tobe jerked the boot, chain and all off,
and pulled the boot out ot the chain and
put it on in a great deal less time than it
takes to tell it. With nothing to hinder
him and his left wrist adorned with one
of L T ncle Sam’s handcuffs, he let himself
out of a window and pulled for the oth
er shore. When the guard came back
with the water for Tobias that individual
was not there to drink it. The guard
thought such a breach of etiquette w r as
entirely uncalled for, but soon gave the
alarm.
Mr. Murphy, for some cause, came on
to Atlanta without making any great effort
to re-arrest Jackson. From a passenger
who boarded the same train here we learn
that Mr. Murphy was the sickest looking
man lie ever saw. Murphy gave this
passenger the history of the escape and
showed the overcoat of Jackson’s and the
chain with a knot in it that once passed
around the fugitive’s leg.
The news was brought to Cartersville
on the same train. The story was pretty
generally discredited, and when the morn
ing train arrived an anxious crowd w ttS
at the depot awaiting to find if the report
was true. The train brought up Jack
son’s overcoat and the passenger that had
talked with Murphy. From him we gath
er our information. Jackson’s friends
were exuberant and many were the ex
pressions of relief at his escape. We
cannot find out whether any efforts are
being made for Jackson’s re-arrest but the
report is that Murphy left Chattanooga to
go after old “Nig” and a Constitution re
porter. With this team it is safe to pre
sume that Tobias’ arrest is only a matter
pf tiffie —and doubt.
IN SPRING ATTIRE.
What a Courant Representative Saw iu
a Fashionable Millinery Establishment.
The gentler sex w ill keep up the styles
regardless of oonsequenoes, and the ad
vent of the zephyr-wafting spring is
always the source of much delight to the
fair ones. With it arrives simultaneous
ly all the beautiful dresses, flowers, pret
ty bonnets and hats that go make a home
ly girl beautiful and a pretty one a reg
ular heart-smasher. We, as well as the
balance of humanity, enjoy the advent
of gentle spring. Then we see the girls
in all their beauty. We see them make
their conquests by the score, for there
isn’t many fellows that are not susceptible
to the charms of a well-dressed pretty
girl. Well, the styles this season are
exquisite. We know that’s a fact for we
heard the prettiest girl in town say so.
The ladles of Cartersville and sur
rounding country are fortunate in having
such an excellent modeste as Miss Padg
ette, whose establishment we had the
pleasure of visiting the other morning.
It is useless for us to attempt an enumer
ation of all the beautiful things we saw.
It would fill column after column to do
that. The employers were very busy at
tending to the wants of an anxious lot of
customers who were all very anxious to
make their selections ere the handsome
stock was depleted. The establishment
was crowded and the estimable proprie
tor with all her assistants had their hands
full. A great rush is being made for the
spring hats, a selection of which can be
found here that cannot be beaten any
where. Avery gratifying sign we no
ticed was the fact that ladies, who have
heretofore sent abroad for fine and tasty
headgear, were purchasing their goods at
home thus keeping the money here and
thus encouraging home enterprise. A
most estimable lady, the wife of one of
our most prominent citizens informed
the writer that she had long ago given up
the idea that she could not be suited only
by going abroad. She is a lady of well
known taste and is regarded a criterion in
the matter of dress. She informed us
that Miss Padgette’s stock was far above
the average usually kept by out-of-city
shop-keepers, and that it would compare
favorably with the affairs in the cities
that make so much blow over their dis
plays. The stock this season, as will be
seen from an advertisement elsewhere, is
larger than common, the demand among
our people for nice goods being so
great and a laudable desire to keep money
at home, bringing about this state of
affairs.
Miss Padgette has long catered to the
fashionable as well the more reserved
people of our section, and in every in
stance she gives satisfaction. It is a
great sight to go and see all the beauti
ful novelties she has in stock this season.
As we have said it is useless to attempt a
description and enumerate them all.
We would advise our ladies to call at
once and look at the display even if they
are not ready io invest. Such a display
is not an everyday happening. Goods of
the finest qualities will be found in ele
gant profusion, and when the prices are
learned we’ll venture the utmost satisfac
tion will be given. It does not cost near as
much to conduct business in a small town
as it does in the cities, hence our own
shopkeepers can very easily undersell
those of the cities.

STEGALL’S SAFFRON STUFF.
A Bartow County Man Startles Hit
Friends with a Glittering Display
of Gold.
For several months Mr. John P. Ste
gall, who lives near Cartersville, has been
making periodical visits to the gold min
ing district of Northeast Georgia. They
were made so quietly that he threw his
most intimate friends off their guard and
few knew the nature of his visits until
very lately. The rumor leaked out that
Mr. Stegall was interested in a gold mine
and from his quietness it Was conclusive
that something unusual had taken pos
session of his mi ad. Last week The
Courant got a hint from tfie Dahlonega
Signal as to the clever gentleman’s ac
tions. From it we learned that he had
purchased from the Thomas estate some
valuable mining property near Auraria.
The paper also stated that the prospects
were very flattering and spoke of some
beautiful nuggets, weighing from tw r o to
twenty pennyweights. By properly
opening the mine, which goes by the
name of “Minnie,” it was thought by the
best minerg in that sectiou that the claim
would pan out better than any in the
country and would soon place the owner
in possession of immense riches. Mr,
Stegall has spent considerable money in
preparing to operate on an extensive
scale, and will work the claim for all it
is worth.
He is now at home resting up and
shaking hands with his numerous friends.
The Courant met the lucky man Mon
day and had a pleasant chat with him as
to his prospectg, etc. He was all beside
himself, and from the recesses of every
pocket that his clothes possessed he pull
ed out the glittering gold in the rough
for a solid quarter of an hour. The
scribe was bedazzled and ills head has not
quit swimming yet. From an upper right
hand vest pocket Mr. Stegall produced an
innumerable nnmber of two, three and
four pennyweight pieces, while from a
capacious pants pocket he hauled out a
shot bag laden well with the precious
stuff. While our bedazzled eyes were
gazing with wild astonishment at this
display, a good big lump was produced
from somewhere off his person. This
lump settled the scribe, which
weighed thirty-two pennyweights, and
was of a most beautiful obiong shape and
about two inches in length.
Mr. Stegall informed the scribe that
when this nugget was found the old min
ers of that section came for miles around
to see it, and all were wild with excite
ment. These old miners, who have
worked claims in that section for years,
say the evidences of an immense vein in
the immediate locality of the “find” are
innumerable. They claim that the vein
is not over thirty feet distant, Mr. Ste
gall has been working steadily in the
direction of it for several weekg, and the
fact that the nuggets are found in larger
sizes and oftener as the work pro
gresses, bears out the assertion fully. It
is what is called a “broken vein” by
miners, and huge stratas of rock carry
out the belief. If developments contin
ue as they have in the past six weeks,
Bartow county will claim as a citizen one
of the wealthiest men in the South. Mr.
Stegall is extremely gratified at the re
sults, and went into the business fully
expecting to lose a considerable amount
of money before any paying results would
be accomplished. As it is, he has been
rewarded with the handsomest of in
comes, so much so that he is now pre
paring to drop his farming interests here
and go back to the mines and give them
h>s undivided attention,
The mine bears the name of “Minnie,”
named for the clever little daughter of
Mr. Stegall. We, together with the peo
ple of the county generally, extend to
Mr. Stegall the heartiest congratulations.
He has always proved a true and upright
citizen—true to every friend and very
sociable, and this good luck befalling him
is very gratifying to his old friends, lie
will probably leave the early part of next
week, and his friends here are anxiously
awaiting the results in the future. Mr.
Stegall himself informs us that it would
be a hard matter to exaggerate in referring
to the mine.

Interesting Times Ahead.
Cartersville wilt be interestingly lively
the coming summer. We will have the
re-union of the Eighteenth Georgia Regi
ment on the 30th of July next. Our
people are already evincing a marked de
gree of interest in the coming re-union,
and they will sustain their noble record
for hospitality, and do everything in
their power to make this the most
interesting re-union the company has
had yet. In August we will have the
State Agricultural Convention. This
convention will be attended by a great
many solid men of the State. It will be
a most interesting meeting and a very
lively one, too. The question of locating
the State fair permanently will come up
at that time. Atlanta and Macon will
make every effort to secure the prize.
Cartersville bids the State Agricultural
Convention a hearty welcome, and the
delegates may rest assured that every
thing will be done to make them feel at
home, and our people will take special
delight in showing them the best agri
cultural country in the world. We will
also assure our readers that our little city
will be attractive socially this season, as
we have it that a great many pretty girls
will spend the summer with friends in
our communitv. We look for lively
times indeed. We forgot to mention, too,
that this promises to be a very interesting
political campaign year.
Misplaced Credit.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Ma
con Telegraph doesn’t seem to think that
the revenue officers deserye any credit
for the apprehension of Tobe Jachson.
A telegram was received by Sheriff Rob
erts several days before anything w r as
heard from Marshal Nelms. The corres
pondent says: “Several days ago the
chief ot police of Waco, Texas, dropped
Sheriff Thomas a letter that he had spot
ted Tobe Jackson out there. As they
understood it at the sheriff’s office only
S3OO reward was offered for Tobe, so the
inducement was not sufficient to send a
man for him. Taking this view of the
case, the letter was turned over to Mar
shal Nelms. In this way he learned of
Tobe’s whereabouts and then dispatched
Ed Murphy for him. A broad grin il
lumines the sheriff’s office when the ru
mor about the sleepless nights of Mar
shal Nelms and Murphy spent in ferret
ing out Tobes hiding place is referred to.
1 don’t know why the sheriff withheld
the news about receiving from the re
porters. I heard of it to-day by acci
dent.”
Our Worthy Sheriff.
Bartow county possesses an excellent
official in the person of Sheriff Wesley
Roberts. If there ever has been one
word of complaint lodged against him
we have not heard it. lie attends to his
duties in a quiet but nevertheless straight
forward way. Our people are to be con
gratulated in possessing such an efficient
officer.

bers of the Executive Committee of his

A Pleasant Visit.
The Coukant received a pleasant visit
Monday from that prince of good fellows
Mr. John B. Gorman, of Talbotton, who
is now travelling in the interest of his
late publication, “Round the World in
'84.” I his book has been on the market for
only a few months and already two edi
tions have been exhausted. “Bill Arp”
says it is the “best book since Taylor
wrote.” Mr. Gorman, we are glad to
learn, is having great success in intro
ducing his book. They are sold only
by subscription and Messrs. Wikle &
Cos., are the agents in Cartersville. The
work treats of an extensive trip and
commences and ends his voyage at At
lanta, going out the front door in New
York and returning by the back door at
San Fancisco, travelling six months, go
ing east all the time. We heartily rec
omend the work to our readers.
To the Adairgville Business People
A great amount of job printing is sent
out from Adairsville annually to be exe
cuted. We know this and have made
Mr. Alex Capers our agent to solicit the
same, thus giving the people a good
chance to sustain a home enterprise.
Work, we understand, has heretofore
been sent to Atlanta and exhorbitant
prices haye been charged. We can do
this work just as well at home, and at
much cheaper prices. We ask our Adairs
ville people to call on Mr. Capers and get
our prices at least.
Money saved is money made. Save it
by buying your goods of

A Desirable Side-Show Attraction.
For freaks of nature, curiosities, etc.,
Bartow county certainly eclipses any
section that we know of. We have dis
covered a freak of nature that would
prove a gold mine to any live showman,
one that will cause the scientists and
“Smart Alecks” of the country to scratch
their craniums in wonder. There lives
near the town of Kingston in tliis county
a curiosity in the shape of white-headed,
red-eyed albino. He is now eight years
of age and removed from Chattanooga to
his present home about live months ago.
His parents are perfectly black, in tact
intensely so, and he is milk white. His
hair is at least a foot long, and, when al
lowed to be worn loose his head looks
like an immense cotton ball. The boy
goes by the name of Benjamin Johnson,
and his father is a thrifty blacksmith in
the community. The boy’s eyes are a
beautiful pink, while his face shows one
of intelligence. Here is a chance for
some live showman to make his “pile.”
No doubt suitable arrangements can be
made with the boy’s parents.

The Old Reliable Dry Goods Man.
Attention is called to well-displayed
advertisement ot Mr. R. VV. Satterfield.
This gentleman always comes to the front
with a fine and well selected stock, and
has no trouble in pleasing his many
customers. He never buys anything
shoddy to be palmed off on unsophisti
cated customers. This season he spent
two weeks in the best markets of the
north and east and was exceedingly
careful in his selection of a stock that he
knew would please his customers. His
line of shoes cannot be beaten in this
market, both for ladies and gentlemen,
One shoe that he sells for $2.25 is very
hard to beat. It is gents’ low quarter,
and built on the broad style. He has
also a fine and stylish line of Stetson’s
celebrated hats.
