ELLAVILLE, GA. THURSDAY JULY II 1889.
the weekly press association.
_
the Georgia Psncil Pushers Royally En
TEKTAINED—A TRIP To DIFFERENT
Points in North Georgia.
It was my good pleasure to represent
the Schley county news in the Gfeor
gia weekly Press Association which con
vened in Cartersville the :ird of July.
Boarding the train at this place on
tiie 2nd inst., I passed over four roads to
reach that point: viz. The s. – w., g. m.
– u., Central and w. – a., all of which,
are well equipped rojtds. The Savannah
and western, which has just been com
pleted from Americas to Columbus,
opens up a section of fine farming
try and brings Birmingham and West
ern markets almost to our doors, and
passengers going to any point in North
or middle Alabama or to Atlanta, will
find the scedule on this road very con
venient.
Arriving at cartersville about 8 o'clock
the crowd were met by a number of citi
zens and escorted to the So. James, where
a number of us were comfortably situ
ated for two days with J. L. Maddox of
the Rock Dale Banner at conyers, for my
room mate. Owing to the inclemency
of the weather, it was impossible for the
citizens to carryout the plans they had
made to entertain us, but in spite of the
heavy rains, we were carried down the
Etowah river on the East and west road
to view some of the finest plantations I
ever saw.
On the 3rd at 10 a. m.. m the opera
house, the convention was called to or
der by Prest. Perry; after stating the
object of the convefcion, he introduced
Col. Douglass Wikle of cartersville, who
in most choice language, welcomed the
members of the Press to the hearts and
homes of the people of tiiat prosperous
city. Mr. Ed Young on an eloquent man
ner, responded to the address of welcome
in behalf of the association.
After disposing of the regular busi
_ ness o<. tiie day, f too tedious Mmonfinn to mention,
Col. Newman presented to Mr. Roberts,
coresponding ’ Secretary, a handsome gold
tieAClWlGaiie , '' 11 it ; h hisnama n “. and date en
upon it: donated , bv the , mmueis ,
of the Press, for his untiring and sue
cessful effoits to make these meetings
1 both ^ 4 . 1 , proutub.e and „nil nli><>«ant pleas>«mt.
At 3 o’clock Maj. Charles Smith (Bill
tore on ln ...... weekiy 1118 ,lllin;tabIe newspapers, , wa -' ’ m which /T he

M, of the Constitution

l,y t! “
welcome made us feel that
A welcome in thy gates oh, Rome!
Reminds e teh one of home, sweet home;
where nature with her gentle smile.
Around us lingers all the while.
Soon after our arrival, the Dummy
was ordered to fclm Hotel by C qit. J. L.
B-tss miss, g general manager o of the Rome
foundry ami machine works, Dummy
line etc., and we soon found ourselves
scanning the various departments ol
these successful industries, either oi
which, would reflect credit on any city
in the Myg'-i South
parlors ^ of the Armstrong, : ......f o« - and ^: the mtni* ;:r
bers of the Press were ma le acquainted
with vviwim.i.q mnv of the leading 0 citizens of the
. «
City of Seven Hills, a.ext morning a. o
30 o’clock we took the Dummy for East
Rome where there are five springs
in ten steps uf each otlrnr, from which,
Hows an inexhaustablequantity of Geor
gin’s purest waters, forming a beautiful
lake below, upon which several boats
are placed for the benefit, of pleaame
seekers. Not far from this spot are the
exposition building* where on exhibi
tion, are various kinds of ore, taken from
Die rich mines ot Floyd county.
Bv this tune the sound of the boat

excursion down the river was tiie
ttling in order.
This, was ar aooominod.u ioij,
For tho Press Association;
And tho trip affordod piousm*c,
Which our memories will treasure.
On tills, the best of all the boats,
(On which the flue of welcome floats.)
Went down the stream In merry Klee,
A (ntrty lutmborlmf oivln y threo.
Tiie country around the pi aces wo vis
Red is very mountainous and tho land ou
top of these hills, is certaitdy in a state
of high cultivation, and is indeed an ex
cellent stock and grain country.
The seasons there, are about six weeks
later than they are here, consequently
they have to work their crops iu inid
Summer,
Among the hills of North Georgia, is
the home of one whom the people of
Schley ail know; at this home, (known
as the Oothcaloga Jersey Farm.) I fared
sumptiously for two days, living on the
best the land afforded. This farm was
started about one year ago and already
they are reaping the benefits in the way
of rich golden butter, for which they
find ready sale in Atlanta, at 40c per
pound,
Leaving this place for the “Gate City”
I, upon my arrival, was met by ourRep
resentative, who kindly accompanied
me through the new Capitol, from the
summit of whose dome, we viewed the
surrounding country and the city below
us. Our ride on the Dummy to Grant’s
Park, is worthy of considerable mention,
but for lack of time, we omit.
From Atlanta to Americus I was hon
ored with the presence of our brother,
Sid Cook, and his beautiful little niece.
Here, I changed cars for the spot that
is ever dear to my heart.
Now when we compare the different
sections of Georgia and consider her va
ried and fertile soils, her numerous in
dustries and her genial clime, we are
ready to exclaim, in the language of Mr.
Ed Young, “Oh! Georgia, thou art great
but greater still, is thy future.”

we the citizens of Schley county this day

you to use every honorable means in your
power to defeat the passage of such a bill
