A Steam Fire Engine.
At the regular meeting of our city
council on Monday evening last, a com
mittee was appointed from that body to
look into the practicability and advisabil
ity of purchasing a steam fire engine
lor the protection of the city against lire.
M e understand the city lias an opportu
nity of exchanging the hook and ladder
truck for a steamer,. one thousand feet
of hose and hose reels by paying a dif
ference of $3,300 in five annual install
ments at 7 per cent interest. It will cost
hut a few hundred dollars to build cis
terns, and it will require but few of
these, as tho engine offered will do good
fire duty through long lines of hose.
The weight of the engine is 3,400 pounds
and is drawn by hand, discharges 275
gallons of water per minute, and will
raise steam from cold water in four min
utes from the time of lighting the fire.
Such an engine is a necessity of the
city. We are in a defenseless condition,
and a fire here, in certain parts of the
city, would destroy thousands of dollars
of property. The assessed value of the
property of Cartersville, we believe, is
one million of dollars with no protection
against fire —a fact that makes our in
surance rates higher. Such an engine
with a well-organized fire company
would greatly reduce insurance, suffi
ciently, perhaps, to pay the annual in
stallments. Shall we have the engine
now, or wait untill we lose enough
property to pay for a dozen engines ?
We hope the council will act upon the
matter carefully. By law the question
will have to be submitted to the voters of
the city, which requires a two-thirds
vote to make the purchase, and we be
lieve the people will sustain the proposi
tion. We shall have more to say on the
subject.
Tlie Press Convention.
We hope our friends of the various
committees to meet soon to make suit
able arrangements for a proper reception
of the press convention on the 14tli of
May, at Cartersville will act very
promptly. The following persons con
stitute the committees:
On entertainment—First ward, F. M.
Ford, A. Knight and Joshua Sumner;
Second ward, W. K. Iluse, A. C. Wil
liams, J. 11. Johns; Third ward, J. R.

Fourth ward, J. A‘. Erwin, T. W. Mil

On place of Meeting and Music —M.
F. Word, W. 11. Wikle, R. Christopher,

Ilarvell, L. A. Mackey.
The object of the first committees is to
see our citizens and ascertain who will
entertain the members of the press, and
how many each family will take. This
is the most important committee. We
suggest that the general committee meet
in a few days for reports from the above
named sub-committees. The members
of the general committee are J. J. How

Holy Week and Easter Sunday.
The present week is observed by the
Episcopal and Catholic churches as holy
week, tlie last of the lenten season. The
most important days celebrated are Good
Friday and Easter Sunday. Good Fri
day is observed by all devout and faith
ful churchmen as a day of fasting and
prayer, and commemorative of the
crucifixion of the Savior. Easter is a
day of rejoicing and is commemorative of
the resurrection of the Savior. When
properly observed the services of these
days are beautifully typical of two
of the most interesting events of the
Christian religion. To celebrate them in
the proper spirit is well calculated to in
spire the truly Christian heart with
renewed faith in tho teaching of “Him
who spake as man never spake.” It is a
matter of regret to the few Episcopalians
’of this town and vicinity that they are
deprived of the pleasure of the services of
the church the present week, and espe
cially on Sunday because their faithful
minister cannot be present.
Tlie Cornet Hand and tije Press.
At a meeting of the band last Tuesday

State Sunday School Convention.
The Georgia state Sunday school asso
ciation will hold its sixth annual session
at Macon, May 30th and 31st. The exec
uting committee has made extensive ar
rangements, and a large and enthusiastic
session is anticipated. In counties where
no associations exist it will be tlie duty
of one of the vice presidents to appoint
two delegates for every representative to
which they are entitled in tlie general
assembly of the state, to represent them
at this session. Every Sunday school in
Georgia should be connected with a coun
ty convention, and every county conven
tion and with the state association. The
secretary lias great difficulty in securing
correct statistical reports from counties
not organized.
Pastors and superintendents will please
send their report to district secretary, J.
M. Attaway, Woodstock, Ga.

Georgia’s Great Hat Man.
A celebrity is Lewis 11. Clarke, of At
lanta. There never was but one man
who didn’t know him and he died heart
broken. He is as well known over the
state as Gov. Colquitt, Ben. Hill, Judge
Loehrane, George Sasseen or any other
of Atlanta’sdfig guns. Xever did a coun
try editor go to Atlanta but what he re
turned with his grip-sack full of choice
and pleasant adjectives in favor of
“Clarke, the Hatter.” When the writer
was a“p ’s and 1” he frequently
had to stop the press to get in a puff for
“Lewis Clarke, the Hatter.” Many were
the hats that were handed down to us by
our sire, the inside leather garnished
with golden capitals spelling “From
Lewis H. Clarke.” These letters were
as enduring as Clarke’s fame. They had
stood the test of bear’s grease and other
animals for years, but were still bright
to our vision. Yes, as we said, our
brethren of the press have used up the
choicest adjectives in the English lan
guage in praise of Clarke and has only
left us room to say he is the squarest,
toniest, cleanest, whitest, most reliable
(in hats) mail we know. This is (not)
what we call tally.
Mr. Clarke has recently had repainted
and renovated his mammoth hat store,
and is daily receiving new styles of hats,
caps, etc. He gets his goods directly
from the manufactories and you couldn’t
buy them cheaper in fifty j r ards of those
establishments than from Mr. Clarke.

A Novel Feauture
Presents itself to those who use Dr.
Parker’s Hair Balsam, in the discovery
of its rare ami remarkable merits. Many

for which we have reason to feel proud.
A patron assures us that he has used
tw elve different hair preparations 'and
that Parker’s Hair Balsam surpasses them
