CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA.
Tliis city is situated on the Western SC Ai lantic and East and West Railroads, 48 miles nort i of
Atlanta, arid in Bartow county, Georgia. I*< pulation 2,500, with churches of Baptist, Metno.isc,
l’resbyterian and Episcopal denominations. With superior educational, climatic and business ad
vantages < artersville is unsurpassed as a pla of residence. Nestling in the beautiful h 10 *” 1
district of Vorth Georgia, it is protected froi i the extreme chilly blasts of winter, while in the rot
summer mouths the cool mountain breezes m ikes it a most pleasant summer resort. As to hea tn
iness it cannot be surpassed—is entirely free from all malarial influences, and there never has
been a case of chills known to have originate i in the county. .
Mineral and Agricultural Re sources.— Nearly every’mineral known to exist is
found in inexhaustible quantities, which wil make Cartersville a great manufacturing centre at
no distant day. The manganese shipments fr< m this depot alone are simply enormous. The r arvr
ino Lands of Bartow county will compare f ivorably with those of Illinois, Michigan and other
northwestern States. All the cereals is raised to perfection here, while cotton is grown in immense
quantities. The nature of our soil is very similar to the lands of the Northwestern States, while
we have the advantage of shorter and milder winters. Lands are cheap and superior inducements
are offered to those that may locate among ut for the purpose of tleveloping our beautiful county.

A GRAPHIC PEN PICTURE.
The Experience of the Editor of the
Charleston News and Courier.
After Charleston had been shaken with
earthquake Tuesday night of last week,
the compositors on the Ifews and Courier
declined to go back to work, and the fol
lowing article, prepared for the next
paper, was telegraphed over the country :
Necessarily the only description that
can be given ot the disaster which has
befallen our city, consists of the narra
tion of experiences and observations of
individuals, and the subject being the
same and the experiences of all being
neariy alike, the story told by one care
ful observer may well stand for a hun
dred others, with slight alterations.
ProbaMy the best idea that can be had
of the character of disturbance, there
fore, may be obtained from a narration
of events and scenes of Wednesday night,
as they were presented to a single person
while engaged in his usual duties in the
second story room of the News and
Courier olliee. At the time of the first
shock, the writer’s attention was vague
ly attracted by a sound which seemed to
come from the office below, and which
was supposed for a moment to be caused
by the rapid rolling of a heavy body, as
an iron sale or a heavily laden truck
over the floor. Accompanying the
sound there was a perceptible tremor of
the building not more marked, however,
than would be caused by the passage of
a street car or a dray along the street.
For perhaps two or three seconds the oc
currence excited no surprise orcomment.
Then by swift degrees, or perhaps all
at once—it is difficult to say which —the
sound deepened in volume, the tremor
became more decided, the ear caught
the rattle of window sashes, gas fixtures
and other loose objects. The men in the
office, with perhaps a simultaneous flash
of recollection of the disturbance of the
Friday before, glanced hurriedly at each
other and sprang to their feet with startled
questions and answers, “What is that?
Earthquake!” And then all was bewild
erment and confusion. The long roll
deepened and spread into an awful roar,
that seemed to pervade at once the
troubled earth, and still the air above and
around. The tremor was now rude, a
rapid quiver that agitated the whole
loft}’ strong walled building, as though
it were being shaken by the hand of an
immeasurable power, with intent to tear
its joints asunder and scatter its stones
and bricks abroad as the tree casts its
ripened fruit before the breath of the
gale. There was no intermission in the
vibration ot the mighty subterranean
engine. From first to last it was a con
tinuous jar, only adding force at every
moment, and as it approached and reach
ed the climax of its manifestation it
seemed for a few terrible seconds that
no work of human hands could possibly
survive. The floors were heaving under
foot, the surrounding walls and parti
tions visibly swayed to and fro, the crash
of falling musses of stone and brick and
mortar was overhead and without, a
ten-ible roar filled the ears and seemed
to fill the mind and heart, dazing per
ception, bewildering thought, and for a
tew panting breaths, or while you held
your breath, in dreadful anticipation of
an immediate and cruel death, you felt
that life was already past and waited for
rhe end as the victim with his head on a
block awaits the fall of the uplifted ax.
It is not given to many men to look in
the lace of a destroyer and yet live, but
it is little to say that a group of strong
men who shunned the experience above
faintly described, will carry with them
the recollection of that supreme moment
to their dying day. None expected to
escape. A sudden rush was simultan
eously made to endeavor to attain the
open air and flee to a place of safety,
but before the door was reached all reeled
together to the tottering wall and stopped,
feeling that hope was vain; that it was
only a question of death in the building,
or without, to be buried by the sinking
roof or crushed by the toppling walls.
The uproar slowly died away in seeming
distance. The earth was still and oh!
blessed relief of that stillness.
But how rudely the silence was broken
as we dashed down the stairway and out
into the street, already, on every side,
arose shrieks, cries of pain and fear,
prayers and wailings of terrified women
and children, commingled with hoarse
shouts of excited men. Out in the
streets the air w*as filled to the height of
the house with a whitish cloud of dry,
stifling dust from lime and mortar, and
shattered masonry, which falling upon
pavements and stone roadways had been
reduced to powder. Through this cloud,
dense as fog, the gas lights flickered
dimly, shedding but little light, so that
you stumbled at every step over piles of
brick or became entangled in lines of
telegraph wires that depended in every
direction from their broken supports.
On every side were the hurrying forms
of men and women, bareheaded, parti
ally dressed, some almost nude, and
many of whom were crazed with fear or
excitement. Here a woman is support
ed, half-fainting, in the arms of her hus
band, who vainly tries to sooth her while
he carries her into the open space at a
street corner, w here present safety seems
assured. There, a woman lies on the
pavement, with up-turned face, and out
stretched limbs, and the crowd passes
her by, for the time, not pausing to see
whether she be alive or dead.
And it puses away, and again is expe
rienced the blessed feeling of deliver
ance from the impending calamity which
it may well be beleived, evokes a united
but earnest offering of mingled prayer
and thanksgiving from every heart in
the throng.
Again, far along the street and up
from the alleys that lead into it on either
side, is heard that chorus of wailing and
lamentation which, thought it had not
ceased, was scarcely noticed a moment
before. It is a dreadful sound —the sound
of helpless, horror-3t,rieken humanity—
old and young, strong and feeble alike,
where all are so feeble, calling for help
lrom their fellow-ci eatures and raising
their anguished voices in petition to
Heaven for mercy, where no human aid
could avail. It is not a scene to be de
scribed by any mortal tongue or pen. It
is not a scene to be forgotten when it has
been witnessed, and when the witness
has shared all its danger and felt all its
agony.
The first shock occurred at seven min
utes of ten, a3 was indicated this morn
ing by the public clock’s hands on all of
which had stopped at the fateful hour, aa
though to mark the ehd of time for so
many w ho had heard the preceding hour
pealed forth by St. Michaels’ chimes
without thought but of a long and happy
life.
A second shock,which was but a faint
and crisp echo of the first, was felt eight
minutes later. As it passed away, the
started homeward to find the scenes en
acted on Broad street, around the News
and Courier office, repeated at every step
ot the way. St. Michael’s steeple tow
ered high and white above the gloom,
seemingly uninjured. The station house,
a massive brick building across the street,
had apparently lost its roof, which had
fallen around it. A little further on w’e
roof of the portico of Hibernian hall,
the handsome building, in Grecian
style, had crashed to ground, carrying
down a part of the massive granite pil
lars. \\ ith it all the way up Meeting
street, which in respect of its general
direction and importance, may be called
the broadway was piled with debris from
the tops of walls. In passing Charleston
hotel, which, to carry out the compari
son above indicated, occupies the position
of Stewart’s up town store, in New
York.
A third shock w*as felt about ten min
utes after the second, and of course
caused the greatest alarm in that neigh
borhood as elsewhere. At Marion
square, corresponding exactly with Un
ion square, New York, a great crowd
had collected, as even the edges of wide
spaces embraced in it could not be
reached by the nearest buildings in the
event of their fall. From this crow T d,
composed of men, women and children
of both races, arose incessant calls and
cries and lamentations, while over a
motley half dressed throng w r as shed the
lurid light of a conflagration which had
broken out just beyond the square imme
diately after the first shock, and had
wholly enveloped several buildings in
flames. In three quarters of the town
at the same time, similar large fires were
observed under full headway, and the
awful,significance of the earthquake may
be fully appreciated, perhaps, when it is
said that with these tremendous fires
blazing up all at once arouud them and
threatening the city with total destruc
tion, people whom you met on the streets,
or saw gathered together in groups in
open places, evidently did not give them
a thought.
No one watched the ruddy flames or
pillars of cloud rising high into the still
night air. All were too intent on listen
ing with strained senses for a dreaded
recurrence of that horrible growl or
groan of tne power under the seas and
under land, to give thought to new ter
rors, though it had thronged his own
home and many homes in the doomed
city. Crowds poured in from every di
rection to the square just described as
though it had been indeed a charmed
circle and life depended on passing
within its grassy bounds. Street cars,
carriages and other vehicles were ranged
in lines on the streets surrounding the
square, while horses stood stock still
with turned heads as though sniffing the
ground in anxious inquiry. Colored
people everywhere were loud and in
creasing in their declamations of alarm,
in singing of hymns, and in fervent ap
peals for God’s mercy, in which appeals,
God knows, many a proud heart who
heard them arising in the night and in
the hour of his wondrous might, de
voutly and humbly and sincerely joined.
Danger brings all of us to the level of
the lowliest. There were no distinctions
of place or power, pride or caste, in the
assemblages that there were gathered to
gether in Charleston on Tuesday night.
It was a curious spectacle to look back
upon. It is a good one to remember, for
white and black alike. There were in
stances of unselfish devotion, of kind and
loving regard between master and ser
vant, mistress and maid, in the presence
of the common ill and of the threatened
ruin that showed, as nothing else could
show, how strong is the tie that binds
our white people and our black people
together, and this is a lesson of the
dread visitor we may hope, too, will
never be forgotten.
AN EXTRAORDINARY MURDER.
From the London Standard.]
A murder has just been committed at
Fontchristiann, near Brianconn, tele
graphs our Paris correspondent, under
very extraordinary circumstances. Two
sisters, named Marie and Catherine
Ollagnicr, aged 45 and 47 respectively,
lived together at the place. They were
in comfortable circumstances and were
most attached to each other. Much of
their time was devoted to religious exer
cises and good works, and they were
esteemed tar and wide. It seems that on
Monday Catherine Ollagnier told her
sister that the Lord had appeared to her
in the night and asked her to sacrifice
her as a proof of her devotion. Marie
Ollagnier saw nothing strange in this,
and consented to be offered up as a vic
tim. Accordingl}’, on the following day
after attending mass, the two sisters re
turned to there home, and. after taking
a cup of coffee, Catherine made a deep
gash with a razor in Marie’s arms aud feet.
Catherine Ollagnier relates that, as she
was bleeding to death, her sister repeated,
“Jesus, Mary, ’my hope, my Savior!”
while for her part she carefully collected
the blood which flowed from her wounds
as a precious relic. As soon as Marie had
breathed her last Catherine laid her out,
attiriring her in a white robe. She then
proceeded to a notary at Briancon with
a copy of her sister’s will. She assured
the notary that God had bidden her
to kill Marie, and to burn all the
securities which she possessed, and that
she had obeyed His will in every partic
ular. Catherine Ollagnier was, of course,
arrested on the spot, and she is to be
examined by a medical expert with a
view of ascertaining whether she is in
sane.
A Godsend to This Family.
It gives me great pleasure to add my
testimonial in recommendation of Curry’s
Liver Compound. My son aged about
twenty-two years was afflicted with a
tremendous misery in the head. He
became almost blind. After trying two
physicians, who pronounced it sore eyes,
but did him no good. I concluded to try
a bottle of your Liver Compound, which
resulted in a perfect cure. lam satisfied
it is one of the best tnedicinees now be
fore the public and only needs a trial to
recommend itself.
W. T. Inlow, of Pickens county.
l’owderly, in an interview with the
New Y"ork Herald , thus refers to the
politics of the order:
“The politics of parties or men are
discussed in our Assembly; but the laws
to be enacted bv John Jones, whether
elected as Republican, Democrat or other
wise furnish food for discussion. The
parties ot the present day are on trial.
The million men who are in the Knights
of Labor are to-day studying the science
of government. They in turn will be
teachers of other millions, and if the
parties of to-day do not heed the hand
writing on the wall and make American
laws for the American people, the mil
lions so constructed can form a party
called the Knights of Labor; but mem
bers of the Knights of Labor in such a
contingency as I have hinted at may one
day co-operate with other thinkin gmen
in forming a party that will keep the
country in the lines marked out for it by
the founders of the Republic.”

I w T as sitting in the rooms of one of
the best clubs in New York eity last
night when a man, who was so richly
dressed that he was a littla overdressed,
entered and seated himself at a table in
a group of his acquaintances. He joined
in the chat that was going on about the
races and other topics for a quarter of an
hour or so and then ordered two bottles
of champagne for the party. He called
for an old and popular brand of wine
and gave the most minute directions for
icing and serving it. When the wine
was poured he gave his friends a royal
toast, befitting the very late hour at
which they were drinking. This put
them all in the best of spirits. No sooner
did he himself touch his lips to the wine,
however, than he coughed himself al-
most into a fit, dashed the wine, glass
and all, to the floor and made a
great how-de-do for a few minutes. Of
course the whole club room was in
uproar to know the cause of the trouble.
The man about town finaly composed
himself and|said: “It’s that beastly wine,
boys. I dou’t know how many warnings
I have received never to buy that brand
again and I never will. Here, waiter,
take this away and give us—(naming a
brand of wine). That’s the only kind
to drink. I tell you, boys, this stuff
here is going down frightfully. There
was a time when I would drink nothing
else, but I want none of it now.”
The other wine was brought on and
drank. A few minutes later I left the
club with my friend, who is an old club
man. When we reached the sidewalk f
spoke of the incident and my companion
said:
“Why that is getting to he an old trick
now, although 1 never saw it played
before just in that way. That fellow is
an agent for the kind of wine he called
for last. He belongs to half a dozen
clubs that I know of,does nothing hut
knock about town in the wiuter,andgo to
the fashionable resorts in summer, and
turns in his expense to the house. His
business is to ge6 the club men to drink
ing that wine, and no amount of money
is spared to make him successful in
doing so. Most of the great wine houses
in the country pay a club man in New
Y r ork, Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago.
The salary is from S2O to SSO a week and
all expenses—that is to say, all the wine
ordered. The position requires tact and
rare social qualities, for if it once became
known that any gentleman is paid to run
down the wine that he makes a fuss over,
his influence would be lost. He proba
bly spends SIO,OOO a year outside of his
salary, but I could name four men in this
city who would be worth SIOO,OOO apiece
to a wine house.”
“ By doing as that man has done to
night?” I asked.
“Not at all. If these four men that 1
could name would agree to order one
special brand of wine for one year, and
drink no other, all swelldom would be
drinking it in half that time. Now, I
know that one of the swell young men
who run about town gets a handsome re
tainer from a neckwear house tor simply
wearing every new tie or scarf that they
may make and exhibiting it around the
Brunswick and other fashionable re
sorts.”
REMARKABLE ROCKS.
They Keep Coming to the Surface Fast as
they are Quarried Oft - .
From the Callicoon Echo.]
A singular phenomenon is said to exist
in Wilmot’s quarry on the Basket Creek,
and one that baffles all efforts at explana
tion. Mr. Wilmot himself tells us the
facts, and he brought to our office with
him Mr. Hineman, owner of the land on
which the quarry is located, to substanti
ate his words.
Both the gentlemen affirm that after
taking the top off a ledge of rock extend
ing back about eleven feet they began
raising the lifts of flagstone. The ledge
is only some seven or eight feet high
and over forty long. After a few top
layers of stone had been taken off it was
noticed that the lifts under them began
to raise in spots, and in a short time
would raise up clear across the ledge,
much in the same mauner as flooring will
occasionally become so swollen as to
bulge up at some point in the shape of
the root of a house.
This was at first ascribed to the heat,
as it was in the afternoon, and the sun
shone in very hot upon the ledge, but as
fast as one lift was taken off the one
below would begin to rise In the middle,
as though, being wedged or sprung in at
the ends, they raised in the middle as
soon as the weight was off. The lower
in the ledge the men got, the stronger
seemed to be the impelling force; and on
Friday the men found, on going to work
in the morning, while it was cool, that
during the night an immense course of
stone had risen in the centre of the ledge,
extending across the eleven feet to a
height ot seven inches, and sloping like
the roof of a house, each way, to the ends
of the ledge. The workmen were in
structed not to disturb the rock, and Mr.
Wilmot told us on Saturday that he was
going to have the rock in its then posi
tion photographed.

ONE OF THE MYSTERIES OF PARIS.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.]
A very singular affair has just found its
denouement at the Morgue in Paris.
Some days ago the body of a little girl,
between 4 and 5 years of age, enveloped
in a sheet and lying on a pillow, was
found on a staircase in a house on one of
the minor streets of the city. The little
creature wa3 extremely pretty, she was
neatly dressed, and had evidently been
well tended and taken care of during her
short life. The first idea naturally en
tertained by the press and the public, as
well as the police, was that a crime had
been committed, and that the child had
been murdered by some person or
persons interested in getting rid of her.
Yet a careful examination of the little
corpse by skilled physicians failed to
reveal any traces of violence. It exhibi
ted for several days at the Morgue, but
though thousands came to look at the
poor little creature, no one could recog
nize her. Finally a thorough post-mor
tem examination was undertaken, and
the cause of her death was at once re
vealed. The case is an extremely rare
and curious one. The little girl had been
troubled with that very common infantile
affection, worms in the stomach. One of
these parasites of unusual size had forced
its way into the child’s throat, a fit of
coughing bad ensued, the worm had en
tered the windpipe, and suffocation had
terminated the life of the little sufferer.
It is supposed that she was not with her
parents, whoever they might be, but was
under the care of a nurse, who, on wit
nessing the child’s sudden death, had
become terrified for fear of the conse
quences to herself, and who had then
abandoned the body in the place where
it was found. It was therefore thought
that, as soon as the real facts of the case
were made known, the persons who had
charge of the child, finding themselves
thus relieved from all responsibility,
would come forward and reveal the facts
concerning her. Nothing of the kind
took place. The little one, thus strangely
deserted by her relatives and guardians,
has been quietly interred, and her name
and identity must henceforth be cited
among the undiscovered mysteries of
Paris.
A DANGEROUS MAN.
Without an Enemy, Peaceable, Yet a Holy
Terror to Everybody.
The following “j'arn” is being spun by
a large number of our exchanges. It
seems to be an orphan :
The most peaceable, dangerous man in
all the United States lives in Murray
county, Georgia. He is kind-hearted
good-tempered, never had a quarrel in
his life, wouldn’t hurt a fly, and every
body is afraid of him. About a year ago
he was cutting wood when the axe flew
off the handle and killed a man who had
come to pay him S3O. He never got a
cent of the money.
The next week, while ferrying a friend
across a river, he ran the boat against a
snag and his friend was drowned. About
a month later he felled a tree on a stran
ger, who was lying asleep in the woods,
killing him instantly. Not long after he
shot a wild turkey and killed a neighbor
whom he didn’t see at all.
Three weeks later he lighted a kero
sene lamp, when it suddenly exploded,
burning to death a eolporteaur to whom
the inoffensive Georgian had courteously
extended the hospitalities of his home.
All this man’s friends run when they
see him coming. Ha is himseif afraid
to extend any kindness save to his ene
mies, of whom he has none.
His last public act was to cross the
street with a ladder on his shoulder last
4th of July, while a procession was pass
ing, and when somebody shouted to him
“hurry on” he obligingly turned around
and started back. The procession was
laid out and the day was spoiled.
A NEW PHASE OF SOUTHERN
PROGRESS.
The industrial growth of the South,
that has for several years attracted so
much attention, has lately been marked
by a decided movement towards the
wider diversification of manufacturers.
One of the most noticeable# features of
this change is the establishment of steel
works in that section. At Chattanooga
a 25-ton steel plant was lately put into
operation, and has been running very
successfully since. In the same city
Bessemer steel rail works, to produce 150
tons a day, are under construction. A
large steel plant has just been finished
in Wheeling; and now Richmond is to
have steel works with a daily capacity of
200 tons, while Knoxville will probably
soon follow in the same line, as the
Knoxville Iron Cos. expect shortly to es
tablish a steel plant. These facts mean
that the South is no longer to be engaged
in producing the raw material only, for
others to turn into highly finished manu
factured goods. The era of a wide di
versification of industrial interests is
now opening in the South, and the out
look for a solid and substantial develop
ment of the South’s manufactures grows
more promising every day.—Manufactu
rer's Record.
Marietta, August 27.—Frank King,
a prominent insurance agent ot this place,
was arrested this morning by Detective
Pink Stevens and Sheriff Corrill on the
charge of horse stealing. On the 29th of
July, J. C. Mahone, of Heflin, Ala., rode
into Edwardsville on horseback and
hitched his horse to a rack. The Geor
gia Pacific train rolled up, and a stran
ger alighted. He gave the name of
Walker. The two engaged in a conver
sation as to mineral lauds in the vicinity.
They separated, Mahone returned to
the rack in a few minutes, and his horse
was gone. The same night a stranger
stopped with a man near Tallapoosa, and
the next morning traded the horse he
rode for a mule at this place. He left an
umbrella with the name Frank King in
it. A resident knew' of Frank King, of
Marietta, being in mineral business, so a
correspondence between Mohone and
Stevens ensued. To-day Mahone arrived,
and King was arrested. He acknowledges
his guilt, but proposes to settle the case,
which is not apt to be done. He is of
an old and highly respected Georgia
family. His father, William King, form
erly of Savannah, died here a few years
ago. The town is much excited.
The Formula is Good.
Rrnfroe, Ala., —Having for nine
years been in the drug business and
knowing the formula for Curry’s Liver
Compound, I consider it one of the best
of all preparations as a family medicine,
in all cases of the derangement of the
liver and the disease incident thereto.
Especially can I recommend it for that
distressing complaint, sick headache, for
which it acks properly in sufficient dose
it is a perfect panacea, and while largely
mitigating the headache at once removes
the intense nausea incident thereto. I
cannot do without it in my family.
