Although an inclement day, the sub
scription toward providing a heating
P’ant, painting the church, completing
the toilet room and retiring an exist
ing debt upon the organ, started last
Sunday by the Sam Jones Mentorial
church was very satisfactory and the
large thermometer, which apparently
rose automatically when a subscrip
tion was announced, registered at the
' lose of the service $1,275, or nearly
in e-half of what is needed.
Many members of the church were
kept away on account of the bad
weather and sickness in the family
nd for other unavoidable reas. its and,
hence, it is now believed that on next
Sunday the full amount needed for
these very necessary improvements
will have been completely subscribed
for the work and installation of the
new heating plant will be in complete
fm m within the next few weeks.
No subscription recently undertaken
ky the church has met with more favor
than this one and among the church
membership there is universal sym
pathy and a substantial response to
'he demand for the improvements.
Rev. John G. Logan, pastor of the
church, is very earnestly engaged in
securing the co-operation of each and
every member of the church and as
cordially appreciates the gift of &
small amount as that of a large sum if
apportioned in accordance with ability
t( > pay. There should.be to this fund
a general response in subscriptions
and each member of the church, hav
ing the ability to do so. should put
down something in order to accom
plish this very great purpose and to
participate to the extent of their abil
ity in the valuable work that is to be
done.
Below wil] be found the' grateful ac
knowledgement of the pastor together
a strong and earnest appeal to
the membership to complete the mat
,er next Sunday, and the attention of
the church members is urgently direct
f'i to his letter as follows:

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
BIG tiKC COMPANY
BUYS BARYTES LAUDS
New Jersey Corporation
Kicks In and Will Exten
sively Operate.
Another transaction involving one of
Bartow county’s valuable minerals was
closed last week when the New Jersey
Zinc Company purchased from the
Chattanooga syndicate its barytes and
ochre property on Etowah river.
It will be remembered that a i>arty
of Chattanooga business men bought
this property slightly over a month
ago from the American Ochre Com
pany, paying therefor the sum of
$25,000. Peebles & Sloan had a lease
upon the property and were actively
engaged in mining barytes, but their
lease was subject to termination upon
the sale of the property and a thirty
days' written notice of such sale. Mes
srs. Peebles and Sloan operated the
property day and night during the last
thirty days and raised upwards of
four thousand tons in the meantime,
from the sale of which they made a
very handsome profit. Lesis than a
w eek afterwards the New’ Jersrey Zinc
Company became interested in the
property and after extensive testing
concluded to pay the Chattanooga
syndicate a handsome sum over and
above what the latter only a short
time before paid for the property.
The transaction is said to have in
volved something like thirty-five to
forty thousand dollars. The property
will be elaborately and extensively
equipped in order to get out a large
daily tonnage and all facilities will, be
ins tailed and supplied to save and
prepare every particle of mineral.
The purchasing comi>any is one of
the largest owners and operators of
zinc and barytes mines in the country,
as well as a manufacturer of these
products into metallic. articles and
paints and other uses. It is a sixteen
million dollar corporation and, hence,
amply able to do business upon a large
scale and this is contemplated in the
purchase of the property from the
Chattanooga syndicate. It is under
stood that Mr. L. B. Womelsdorf will
represent the company here and that
the New 1 Jersey' Zinc Company have
transactions under consideration
which will very likely result in a great
lucre aase of their investment in Bar
tow county mineral lands.
Bartow' county is said to possess the
largest and most extensive deposits
of barytes in America, though the min
oraa is mined to a lesser degree in
eastern Tennessee, western North Car
olina and Virginia, northern Alabama
and in Missouri. It is certainly at the
present time a producer of pay rolls
and wealth to owners and operators
in this county.

ETOWAH MILLS SOLD
10 THOMPSON-UIEINMAN
Banks Sell Property With
Water Power, For Hand
some Amount,
Another trade of considerable mag
nitude was closed several weeks ago
but just now announced —that of the
sale of the old Etowah Milling prop
erty to the Thompson-Weinman Com
pany. The result of this trade will he
that the Thompson-Weinman Com
pany, active miners and producers of
barytes, will convert this plant into
a barytes grinding mill.
The Thompson-Weinman Company
has been making extensive invest
ments around Oartersville in barytes
deposits and their further investment
in this mill indicates their purpose to
thoroughly develop this industry in
this county. The company has been for
several days busily engaged In repair
ing the mill and placing new founda
tions under it. Mr. Weinman, of the
company, srated to a representative
of The Tribune that the stones in the
mill would now grind for them about
thirty tons of barytes a day and that
they intend to increase this capacity
by July or August to about sixty or
seventy-five tons a day.
The sale of this mill by its owners,
the Lowry National Bank, of Atlanta,
and the Bank of Oartersvillei, is Well
come news to the commercial inter
ests of this section for the reason that
the property has been idle for a num
ber of years. It is a good site for an
industrial enterprise, furnished as it
is with ample water power to move
its wheels.
The sum involved was quite a con
siderable amount and gives increased
I evidence that the Thompson*Weinman
Company are to become one of our
permanent and most progressive in
dustrial concerns.
ANOTHER CHANCE GIVEN.
On another page formal announce
ment is made by our local building and
loan association of the opening of
their books for enrollment of new
members by the selling of a limited
number of May installment stock.
The Tribune observes and often in
quires into the work this society is
doing, and takes pride in giving this
! organization the commendation it de
serves.
We do not know of a better or safer
saving method. They take your money
in small monthly sums, lending it only
on first approved mortgage, charging
the usual legal rate, without any com
mission or take out, and then giving
back both to the saver and borrower
alike all the net profits after expense
of operations.
They pay to the credit of both in
vestor and borrower 7 to 8 per cent
per annum, which is profitable saving.
The sale of stock is limited from 200
to 400 shares each six months, and the
records show that for the last six to
eight years this limit has been ab
sorbed by eager investors.
They invite and encorage “Saving
to Invest” —not a saving to spend, and
in this, they urge and invite every
child, laborer, teacher and employee
and moneyed person to unite with
them in their campaign of helpfulness,
which is profitable first to the member
and then to the county.

CLEAN UP, PAINT UP
FIXED FOR APRIL 17-22
City Commissioners De
clare Date and Will En
force Ordinances.
The board of commissioners of the
city of Cartersville met last Thursday
night and designated the week of
April 17-22 inclusive as clean up and
paint up week in Cartersville.
Every civic and commercial organ
ization should devote themselves to
the successful accomplishment of a
clean town and to inculcate the idea
of neatness and the beauty of color
in the arrangement and decoration of
their premises. It is especially neces
sary that the women of Cartersville,
always in the forefront in civic en-
deavors, should at once take hold of
the situation. Their activities and
presence gives encouragement and
adds zeal and interest to anything un
dertaken by them.
The merchants of Cartersville
should co-operate to the last degree
and every property owner ini fact is
greatly interested. Among the recent
fires that reached into the millions of
dollars in two days’ time, nearly all
were caused by the accumulation of
rubbish, and the high winds that pre
vailed during these two days in March
farmed flames which destroyed over
twenty million dollars worth of prop
erty in just a few towns in the south.
It is, therefore, an economic proposi
tion along the line of conservation and
saving of property.
I vet every one in Cartersville this
time show an interest in clean up and
laimt up week. Let us present to the
world and to the tourists who are
travelling through our town each day
a neat and painted up city and there
by gain their admiration and good will
and their kind speech after leaving us.
It will help.
The city commissioners are them
selves very much in earnest in assist
ing in every way possible this work.
The city commissioner® are very anx
ious to get the town cleaned up, and
w - hen once done they Intend to enforce
every - ordinance on the book® against
the accumulation of rubbish, the in
discrete throwing of articles upon the
streets, upon the sidewalks and al
leys. These and all other law® affect
ing the safety and the health and the
appearance of the city - will be after
wards enforced. It is, therefore, to our
interets to get this town celaned up so
that it can hereafter remain clean and
laws can be moer efficiently carried
out.
Each organization, should at once ap
point committees and go to w - ork sys
tematically to accomplish great re
sxilts during clean up and paint up
week in Cartersville, April 17-22.
