Returns Dr. W. T. Irvine

The North Georgia Conference of
the Methodist church convened last
l'o-day week and finished its labors
Monday night of this week.
The conference had an unusual
number of matters to attend to, and
in addition to the usual large at
tendance otf preachers, a number of
prominent laymen of the various
churches were present and partici
pated in the counsels concerning
matters pertaining to the welfare of
the church.
Three bishops attended one or
more of these sessions, these being
Bishop Collins Denny, designated to
preside over the conference, Bishop
Warren Candler and Bishop Wilson.
Bishop Denny becoming sick, was
aided by Bishop Candler during two
days of the session.
Matters pertaining to Emory col
lege and Emory university came up
for discussion and action on these
matters was threshed out. to the en
tire satisfaction of the conference as
well as the Methodist church as a
whole.
The conference was saddened at
the outset by the death of Dr. W. P.
Lovejoy, who for many, many years
lias been one of the guiding coun
selors and wise advisors of the con
ference. He was stricken before 'con
ference actually began its sessions
and died during the first day.
On Monday the appointments for
the ensuing year were read.
Mr. W. T. Irvine is returned as the

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
TRAINING RORSES
TO BEJipOOSIRT
County Fair Grounds To
Be Assembling Station
For Racers.
The Bartow County Fair Associa
tion contemplates making its
grounds and plant a thing not only
particularly beneficial and useful
during the holding of the annual
fair, hut to make it a continuous
business enterprise whereby the
fair grounds will be a source of rev
enue not only to the fair association
but to the people of Cartersville gen
erally.
Pursuing this idea, the fair asso
ciation has induct'd Mr. M. J. Moran,
one of the best horsemen in the
south who came from the state fair
track at Macon, to locate in Carters
ville, and he will hereafter make
this his future home.
Mr. Moran is thoroughly familiar
with the racing business and the
training of horses for the track and
he has in the last few years marked
some very fast horses throughout
the south, training them and mark
ing them from 2:06 to 2:12. Quite a
number of horses trained and timed
for the track have made records
within these two marks.
This in itself will be quite an ad
dition to the fair grounds, which al
ready lias been proclaimed to- be one
of the fastest tracks in -the country.
At present there are not more than
thirty or forty stalls, but by extend
ing the number of these to some
thing like seventy-five, doubtless
something like forty or fifty horses
will be brought here for training
and for winter quarters. This will
.’-ring to Gartersviile a number of
horsemen- from all parts of the
country who own horses and who
will periodically wish to see them
tried out, Not only that, but a num
ber of ir-aacu th-nyeh ibe^year
W hu* ngi m .
The net result of it all will he that
the fair grounds will contain a num
ber of fast horses and this fact will
bring not only a demand for feed
stuff with which to maintain them,
but the owners of the horses them-’
selves whose presence in the city
from time to time will necessarily
incur expense on their part from
which the various business interests
of Gartersviile will derive a benefit.
To say the least of it, there will be
hotel hills to pay, training charges
for their horses and maintaining of
their stock, all of which will circu
late through the channels of busi
ness and in addition to it all widely
advertise the town.
Gartersviile has- gained a valuable
acquisition in having Mr. Moran lo
cate here, and, in addition, to the
horses which will be placed com
pletely in his charge, there will be
aroused an interest in the raismg of
stock which will in time keep Mr.
Mora® busy.
Mr. H. E. F. Jones, the efficient
president of the association, has sug
gested also that it would he a move
of considerable value to have a side
track run from the W. & A. railroad
yards direct into the fair grounds, so
that one or more menageries could
be located here and kept at the fair
gounds during the winter months.
Th-esse enterpises are known to be of
considerable value to any commun
ity and are much sought after by
those who have the plant and equip
ment suitable for their use.
Already also plans are being for
mulated for next year’s fair, and it
is within the bounds of probability
that Floyd and Polk or some other
county may be induced to join with
us in holding next year a tri-county
fair. If such an arrangement can be
made, it would be mutually advant
ageous all around, certainly so to
Cartersville and Bartow county.
Another plan on foot is to get out
the premium list not later than Feb
ruary first for next year’s fair so
that every one can be advised as to
what prizes and premiums will be
offered for excellence in production
and can make plans and prepara
tions accordingly. Both Mr. Jones
and Mr. Henry Milam as well as Mr.
S. S. Atwood, the superintendent of
the last agricultural display, strong
ly contend that the premium books
should he issued much earlier than

CARTERSVILLE, GKA., NOVEMBER 26, 1914,
BARTOW COUNTY
TEACHERS’INSIITOIE
Practical Addresses Made
and Progress Reported In
All Lines of Work.
On. last Friday and Saturday there
assembled sixty-five of Bartow ru
ral school teachers at the court
house. Miss Celeste Parish, state
supervisor for North Georgia coun
ties, was in charge. Miss Parish was
at her best giving the teachers of
Bartow the best institute she has
ever held in this county. This was
the verdict of practically every
teacher present.
Her theme was a much talked of
one but she handled it in anew way
—Country Life. Miss Parish laid
down the principle that the home
was the one institution that must
form the foundation' of any life so
if we want to enlarge, magnify, uni
fy and perpetuate country life we
must make the country home the
ideal home.
After a full half day discussion
the teachers had many ideas and a
greater determination to do all in
their power to aid as host they could
the mothers in making their homes
more attractive and to interest the
children more in their homes.
During the institute, the teachers
were delighted with visits and talks
from Mrs. Lily Bradley, Mrs. W. W.
Daves, Mrs. G. H. Aubrey and Mrs.
0. T. Peeples.
The Bartow c-ounty schools undey
the present management are devot
ing all their time and energy to this
one purpose—to add the people of
Bartow county, to make Bartow bet
ter. Their purpose is for better
homes, more -attractive and conven
ient homes, better farming, more
improved machinery, operated intel
ligently, full corn cribs, smoke hous
es and cellars; better roads, better
betU r e-hurt hes; a cl -
Tt*' *oiYf feliowmafi'
and a closer walk with God. All this
and more this band of teachers are
working for and they should have,
and must have, the hearty eo-opera
tion of the people.
A teacher who has observed the
Bartow teachers for the past several
years enthusiastically complimented
the superintendent on the person
nel of his present teaching force.
The superintendent expressed
himself that the children’s interests
are in as good hands as it was pos
sible to secure, with the short school
term and the salary offered. In fact,
the force averages better than the
forces of many counties whose
term and salaries are better than
Bartow.
Each day the ladies served lunch
to the teachers. The interest and
thoughtfulness thus manifested was
genuinely appreciated by all. Those
teachers who remained over Friday
night were entertained in the homes
of well wishers residing in Carters
ville.
On Saturday afternoon Mr. Milam
and Miss Burton had charge of the
institute outlining the year’s work,
explaining regulations, etc. After the
signing of contracts the Bartow
'County Teachers’ Association was
re-organized.
The following officers were elect
ed:
Mr. J. W. Lam-berth, Kingston, Ga.,
President.
Mr. R. E. White, Euharlee, Ga.,
Vice President.
Miss Pearl Covington, Correspond
ing Secretary.
Miss Emma Gardner, Recording
Secretary.
After adjourning the teachers
procured their supplies and wended
their way to their various school to
anxiously await the light of Monday
morning when they would gladly
take up their work.
heretofore, and these have persuad
ed the association that this move is
a wise one to make and it will
doubtless be adopted.
Altogether the fair association was
never more alive than it is now to its
purposes in the useful accomplish
ment of all the association started
out to do, and it is safe to say that
all succeeding fairs will be better
and on a grander scale than the pre
ceding ones.
DR. 111. P. LOTIEJOY
IS LAID TO REST
ImprtssivejFuneral Services
Held at Marietta and
Cartersville.
The late Dr. W. P. Lovejoy was
buried at Oak Hill cemetery last
Friday morning after solemn and
nrn r&ssive services held at Marietta,
Ga„ where the North Georgia Con
ference was in session at that time,
and at the Sam Jones Memorial
Methodist church where the services
were conducted by Dr. A. W. Qu.il
hiUi, of Buford, Ga.
The service at Marietta was at
imlr o’clock Thursday afternoon
when the conference assembled to
pay their last tribute of love and es
teem to one who. hud for so many
years, been a regular attendant and
an influential advisor in all matters
pvftaining to the welfare of the
church. Addresses were . made by
Bishop Warren Candler and Bishop
Collins Denny and several other
members of the conference who had
been associated With Dr. Lovejoy lor
many years. Hon. John J. Eagan, ac
companied by a body of twenty-five
members of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement of Atlanta, was
present and participated in the fun
- r-1 service, and numerous friends
from Gartersviile were also present.
Immediately after this service at
Marietta, the remains were brought
to'Gartersviile and carried to the
holme of Mr. and Mrs. Paul F. Akin.
At 10:30 Friday morning the
ft'i- nds of the family in Gartersviile
assembled at the Sam Jones Memor
ial church. After the rendition of
two hymns by a quartet eompo-e 1
of Messrs. Joseph S. and John J. Cal
jho m, John A. Miller and Paul
Griijeath, the reading of an appro
priate scriptural lesson and a pray
in' of depth and feeling by Dr. Quil
feei- ;;ill- were carried to :h
I cemetery and tala R 1“ fw • bevrrwfrh
a perfect hank of floral offerings of
beautiful design.
The pall bearers were Rev. Luke
j G. Johnson, Rev. W. R. Foote, Rev.
| i rank Quillian, Rev. W. R. Mackie,
Rev. Frank Hudson and Rev. H. B.
Mayes. Many prominent Methodist
laymen in attendance at Conference
attended the services at Gartersviile.
Dr. Lovejoy at the time of his
death was sixty-nine years of
age and had been a member of the
North Georgia Conference for forty
three years, -having joined the con
ference in 1871 at Athens, Ga. He
was early considered one of the
ablest champions in the church and
one who by reason of his depth of
thought and accurate judgment was
made a leader among his brethren in
the ministry. He became well ac
quainted with absolutely every fea
ture of the church and was particu
larly valuable in directing the exe
cutive departments of each branch
of work and labor. So universal was
the conviction that Dr. Lovejoy was
particularly suited for leadership
that for nearly thirty years he has
been a presiding elder of some dis
trict in the conference, and by vir
tue of such office was a member of
the bishop’s cabinet and an advisor
of the bishop in that capacity. Per-
haps no minister in the Methodist
church could show so long a ser
vice in this capacity, his rank being
that next to the bishop and neces
sarily one upon whom the bishop
relied more often than even upon
his own judgment.
Dr. Lovejoy was a native of Geor
gia, having been born in Meriwether
county. He fought in the confeder
ate army during the last two years
of the civil war and thereafter en
tered Emory college at Oxford, from
which he graduated in 1869. From
the time he joined the North Geor
gia Conference, he was fourteen
years a pastor of various churches
and for twenty-eight years presid
ing elder of the various districts in
the conference. He w r as presiding
elder of the legal conference of
North Georgia Conference at the
time of his death; was a delegate to
the last five sessions of the general
conference meeting every four
years; a trustee of Emory college,
Oxford; of Wesleyan Female college

at Macon, -and of LaGrange Female
college at LaGrange.
He was a thirty-second degree
Mason and was ? charter member of
the Chi Phi fraternity at Emory col
lege.
Tn addition to his other labors. Dr.
Lovejoy was a frequent contributor
to religious journals and himself
the author of a number of publica
tions. chief among which was "The
Mission of the Church,” which has
been widely circulated as a book of
rare merit.
It has been truly said that the
preacher is the real leader among
men because his mission is that to
save the souls and usefulness of men
and because he devotes himself to
this highest of all purposes. Such
being so, Dr. Lovejoy rose to the
very highest of leadership, living to
an age approaching the allotted spa-n
of three score years and ten. Recog
nized by the membership and minis
try itself as being wise and faithful
•and equipped in all ways, he thus
became a leader among leaders.
There can be no estimate made of
what this great and good man has
accomplished for Methodism and for
the Methodist church. Certain it is
that he filled a life and this life
filled the world with an example
the equal of which no one in south
ern Methodism can point to.
Tn his home life he was a fond
and indulgent husband and father.
Married to Miss Anna Low r e, of
Ashland City, near Nashville, Tenn.,
in 1871, this couple went down the
aisles of time, hand in hand, in
real and sympathetic union, a joy
to each other until four years ago
in Gartersville, Mrs. Lovejoy was
called from earth and her remains
buried here by the side of whom
Dr. Lovejoy was placed last Friday.
SUPERIOR COURT
ADJOURNED FRIDAY
Grand jury Finishes Work
of Term and File Present
ments.
The superior court for the July
adjourned term finished its labors
and adjourned Friday aitemovn.
i’iie grand jury Tided with the
court its presentments, which wili
tie found in another column, and
was thereafter discharged.
No important civil or criminal 5
cases were tried and the grand jury
itself had not time to make any im
portant investigations.
The matters left over by the grand
jury regularly selected at the July
term were treated by this grand
jury in exactly the same manner.
It will be remembered that the
fuwt grand jury for the July term
was criticised for not investigating
tsunday law violations and likewise
criticised for finding no true bills
against Lindsey Boston and Toll
Brown, who it was alleged furnished
whiskey to a minor. Because of this
it was stated that the last jury was
discharged and anew jury drawn.
The new jury, taking up these
matters, likewise found no true
hills against Boston and Brown in
the same cases acted on by the last
jury and, it is siaid, made no inves
tigation of Sunday law violations
whatever. As far as can be learned,
Hie action of both juries Tigs met
with the approval of the people of
the county and the members com
posing these juries have been com
mended for their faithful perform
ance of duty and for their wisdom
.and disced ion.
Thu nd result of the work of the
grand jury was to confirm the ac
tions of the jury which serve 1 at
the regular term.
Tin' grand jury strongly recon.-
j oe tided tFut some plan be devised
wheiTb'-' ybe • county l * obligations
could be ’ taken’care vGtluSii. Che,
peddling of county scrip, which, as
long as it lasts, wall necessitate, up
on the part, of the county, extra ex
pense for labor and material be
cause of the discount charged for
cashing scrip.
The grand jury also commended
the work of the board of county
commissioners for building the Eu
harlee road and the present con
struction of the road through-the
Allatoona mountains, but further
recommended that these roads be
surfaced with chert or top soil. The
jury was oif the opinion that the
straightening of the roads mention
ed, the excellent grades established
and the number of steep grades re
duced were all in themselves to be
commended as well as the estab
lishment of a uniform width for the
roads, and the money spent for these
purposes was wisely spent for a
needy purpose; the jury’s only sug
gestion being that these roads should
at once be surfaced with some suit
able material, preferably chert or
■top soil.
ANNUAL OUTING BY
CARTERSVILLE NIVI RODS.
Messrs. H. P. Womelsdorf, R. G.
Gilreath and Jasper Jon.es form a
party of sportsmen who have jour

This is an annual outing indulged
in by these gentlemen and they nev
