A FINE COMPLIMENT FROM
ONE OF BARTOW’S BEST TOWNS,
AND ONE OF ITS BEST CITIZENS
Adairsville, Ga., April 3, 1923.
Editor Tribune-News,
Cartersville, Ga.
Dear Sir: While serving on # the Grand Jury last
week, I had the opportunity of studying our county seat
somewhat.
I attended the Qhamber of Commerce luncheon, at
the Park Hotel Tuesday. It was a fine affair. The plates
served were excellent. The social features and the boost
ing spirit were more than excellent!
It shows a fine spirit among the business men.
It is going to mean much to Cartersville and our
county. I was, in fact, pleasantly surprised at the breeze
and snap Cartersville has acquired. It ‘reminded me
very forcefully of a Western town.
Cartersville is now the kind of a town new indus
tries will seek. It’s enterprising business men and splen
did railroad facilities will bring results.
May other communities in Bartow county, including
ourselves, catch hold of Cartersville’s coat-tail and climb
out of the rut.
Here’s to Cartersville!
Yours very truly,
H. C. McCUTCHEN.
