Tlie Cherokee Railroad.
Pursuant to previous notice given,
nearly all the land owners over which
the railroad passes met Col. A. G. West,
president of the “Cherokee Iron Com
pany,” for conference in the court house
on Saturday last, on the matter of the
right of way. Many prominent citizens
of Cartersville were also present; right
of way parties and all others,evincing the
deepest interest in the dawn of anew
day, full of guarantee in the known abil
ity of the Cherokee Iron Company to
complete the railroad and make it a suc
.
cess.
The meeting'was called to order by
Col. R. A. Crawford, on whose motion,
Col. J. J. Howard, by acclamation, took
the chair, and A. M. Foute, Esq., the
secretary’s desk. Col. Howard, alive to
the importance of the occasion, in well
ttmed remarks and convincing argu
ments the inspiration of that well
known zeal of his in behalf the road,
characterized by continued effort and
munificent deeds, explained the object
of the meeting to be: That the Cherokee
Iron Company, by their president, might
confer with the land owners who desired
the road and wished to see it substan
tially built, promptly managed, the prop
erty along the line considerately cared
for, cattle gaps, culverts and bridges kept
in repair—patrons and friends protected
and the public benefitted. Col. Howard
closed his remarks by tendering to Presi
dent West for the use of the. Cherokee
railroad the right to pass over his valua
ble lands as the road now does, a distance
of more than a mile and a quarter, free
of charge- This public spirited act by
Col. Howard, seemed magically to touch
the large audience, and brought down
the house in vociferous applause.
Col. Crawford now introduced Presi
dent West, who in his accustomed frank,
straightforward manner, proceeded to
say that it was the purpose of his com
pany to rebuild and’make safe and sub
stantial the present worn road, and at the
same time to extend the same, finishing
and making it a substantial first-class
railroad, newly equipped and adequate
to all the business that might come to it,
giving facility to its patrons, safety to
persons and protection to property; and
before commencing work he desired to
get at the views and expectations of all
the land owners along the line of the
road, and that was his purpose in invit
ing them to meet with him here to-day.
If the land owners along the line, in
connection with other good citizens of
Bartow and Polk counties desired the
road audits facilities, as already under
stood, he would soon have a force upon
it and finish up a substantial, safe road.
If, however, they did not so desire, and
were unwilling to concede to his com
pany the right of way free of charge,
that question being now before them fr
action, they could So say and he would
then feel at liberty to act on other propo
sitions in a different direction.
Hon. Jerry Howard, whose lands are
the first on the line of road, immediately
arose and tendered right of way free of
charge, amid cheers of applause; many
others were ready to do the same, but
the better to secure concert of action, a
resolution was adopted to the effect that
all the right of way parties present con
vene for consultation and a recess was
taken for that purpose. On re-assem
bling, several parties stipulated for a life
pass over the road, some for themselves
alone, others for themselves and lami
lies. The enhanced value of lands and
general desirableness of contiguous rail
roads had been presented by Col. How
ard, Hon. James R. Brown, Col. Cannon,
Dr. Sims and others.
President West arose, and in very kind
words said that he could not accept the
stipulation for free life passes, he could
not so bind his company, such invidious
distinctions did not work well, he -felt
every disposition to consider 7 extraordi
nary cases and would do so, but he could
not accept such stipulation as a rule;
the [road must be sustained by its earn
ings, otherwise it could not be success
fully operated; he desired to meet the
views and expectations of all the friends
of the road, and of the general public as
well, affording every practicable business
facility, safety to patrons and protection
to property; therefore he had hoped and
still hoped, in consideration thereof, that
the right of way would be conceded un
encumbered, and again resumed his seat.
A short pause ensued. A few brief
words of exhortation from the chair and
from other sources, when generous una
nimity, pride of enterprise, pride of coun
ty and pride of state happily prevailed
in noble emulation of who may best
work and best agree. The meeting now
adjourned with bright hopes for the fu
ture. A. M. Foute, Sec’y.
Piles and Fistula Cured.
The Drs. Beazly have a card in The
Free Press for the benefit of the af
flicted. We endorse, from personal ex
perience, all they claim to do. We know
a gentleman of this town who has suf
fered intensely from piles for twenty
nine years. He was cured in a few days
by Dr. Beazfy, of Stilesboro. We know
of another who had suffered excrutiating
ly for forty years, who was also cured in
a few days. Both are sound and well of
the terrible affliction. The remedy ap
plied never fails and the process is known
to only four men in the world. It is not
our custom to endorse everything that
comes along, but we unhesitatingly en
dorse the Drs. Beazly in all they claim.
We adyise suffering people to call upon
them. _ _
The Tress Convention.
This body will assemble here on the
first Wednesday in May. The members
of the press will become the guests of
our citizens by a large number of whom
they were invited to come to Cartersville.
We know our citizens, ever hospital, in
tend to give them a cordial welcome and
treat them generously. But it will re
quire some concert of action to dispose
of our newspaper friends. Therefore, a
meeting of our citizens is called at the
court house next Saturday evening, at 4
o’clock, to take such action in the matter
as may be deemed necessary in the
premises. We hope our friends in the
country and everybody in town will be
at the court house at the time specified
above.

In Memoriam.
There is no more sacred duty we owe
to the confederate dead than that of unit
ing in paying a proper tribute to their
memory on memorial day. That day is
approaching and will soon be here. Our
lady correspondent calls timely attention
to this matter, and invites the ladies of
Cartersville to unite in this solemn duty
of southern patriotism. She writes to us
as follows:
To the Free Press:
It is with feelings of the deepest sorrow and
mortification that have prompted me to address
you this letter. Knowing that our southern la
dies in every other city in the south have so
nobly responded to the appeal of a noble Colum
bus lady, Mrs. Charles Williams, in commemo
rating the death and burial of our noble south
ern soldiers, and we Cartersville ladies stand
aloof as if we felt no interest in them. And
now let every man, woman and child arouse
themselves and be ready on the 26th of April to
celebrate that day. And now allow me to sug
gest the name of your talented young lawyer,
Mr. Watt Harris, as a suitable orator of the day.
Hoping to have a favorable reply, may heaven’s
brightest blessings be showered upon our land
and country, is the earnest prayer of
Yours, very respectfully,
Sunny Side, March SO. Irene.
We are glad our correspondent has
brought this matter to public attention,
and we trust the ladies of Cartersville
and Bartow county will come together
and make all proper arrangements for
the occasion.

All is quiet—nothing new has hap

Adairsville claims the veritable grand
father’s clock, which has recently been

Our young people have a singing

for the purpose of practicing Sunday
school songs. It is under the guidance

were closed by the reading of a psalm by
little Mamie Felker, who did it admira

Our farmers are making rapid pro
gress in planting. P.
Blind Tom.
This strange and unaccountably musi
cal prodigy will be in Cartersville, Wed
nesday, the 2nd of April. We have
known Tom ever since the fall of 1857.
He was then, perhaps, eight or ten years
old, and his musical instincts, if we can
so call his gift, had then never been ex
hibited to the public. At that time he
was owned by Gen. J. N. Bethume, liv
ing near Columbus, Ga., and was editing
the Corner Stone, a southern rights pa
per. We spent a night with the general
and then first heaad Tom perform on the
piano. When his gift of music was dis
covered he was quite small, not more
than four or five years of age, if we re
member correctly. He would listen in
ecstacy to the playing of his young mis
tresses, and when they left the parlor,
Tom would slip in and play for himself.
At first the family tried to prevent this
without success. He went to the piano
as naturally as a horse will go to water.
Tom is a strange freak of nature. It
is only necessary for him to hear the
most difficult piece of music once in or
der to perform it With the utmost precis
ion. He is literally a child of music. It
is the only reasonable instinct of his
strange and unaccountable nature. While
he never forgets anything he has no pow
er of conversation,. His actions are, or
used to be, more those of a monkey than
those of a human being. These are all
the more apparent, perhaps, because of
his blindness.
We can assure our people they can
witness ‘one of the wonders of nature.
Ilis musical powers are unexcelled and
it is worth a visit to witness one of • his
weird and wild concerts. All may ex
pect the most splendid music.
Kingston Kindlings.
We notice the return of our young
friend Mr. John Pope.
Col. Erastus Y. Johnson lias been ap
pointed secretary of the Bartow emigrant
association. Success to Capt. J.
A number of our townsmen are mov
ing to the country, in order that they
may prsduce the unmanufactured staff of
life.
Col. Thos. W. Milner was in town two
days last week. He was here for for the
purpose of selling his Kingston farm,
which he did to Dr. May son.
Some gentleman showed us anew pro
cess for preserving fruits, vegetables,
meats, etc, in their natural state. They
produced some samples which were very
fine, indeed.
Our worthy friend James F. Hargis
was taken in a few days ago for a Y.
A spurious agent, coming along selling
town rights to sell mica lamp chimneys
and he invested.
The time is approaching very near for
the noble women of our land to repair
and decorate the graves of our fallen he
roes. We say with pride the ladies of
our town have already commenced prep
arations. Let all take part in the good
work.
Kingston is unfortunate in regard to
thiefs. Two minor offenses committed
last week. About five and a half o’clock
in the afternoon a negro boy about 12
years old entered J. 11. Hern’s store,
while he was absent for his mail. He
was discovered by Maj. G. D. Hern.
On the following night some one entered
the post office. They took about 25 or 30
prize boxes, it being all that was missed.

The Methodist Concert.
We are glad to state that the sabbath
concert given at the opera house
last Friday night was a success both
as an agreeable entertainment and finan
cially. The proceeds amounted to $49.10,

many good books to the Sunday school
library which will be a great blessing
to the children, not only for the present,
but during their lives. We are informed

night with some change of programme.
Let our citizens of all churches aid our
Methodist friends in this good work, the
work of the Christian religion itself.

Presents itself to those who use Dr.
Parker’s Hair Balsam, in the discovery
of its rare and remarkable merits. Many
have written us expressing their delight
in the fact that it works like a charm. Its
disinfectant properties in chemical com

and healing are bearing fruit, and the
beautiful hair it produces, with the'clean,
healthy scalp, entirely freed from dan
druff and falling hair, are aehivements
for which we have reason to feel proud.
A patron assures us that he has used
twelve different hair preparations *and
that Parker’s Hair Balsam surpasses them
all. To hair that has become gray or fad
