THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
Judge Davenport tells us that Archi¬
tect Bruce, of Atlanta, will be here Mon¬
day to meet with him and the committee
with full plans and specification of the
new courthouse. Tlic Judge has a skele¬
ton of the new house in his office which
we think to be -on the best plan of any
court house in the whole country, and
one that will give general satisfaction to
the whole people. It is said by the arch¬
itect that such a house will not cost ex¬
ceeding twenty thousand. The Judge
and the committee are to be complimen¬
ted for the business like manner in which
they have taken hold of this matter. As
it has been decreed that we shall have a
new court bouse, they propose to see that
the work is not posponed and tiiat the
house shall be one of credit and in keep¬
ing with the progressive strides of the
county. The house will be about
feet with six office rooms, two f.re proof
vaults, closets, etc., on first floor,
court and jury rooms, with all modern im
provements on second floor.

T1SK COLONEL II %* a WORD.
Editor Bannkr-Meshknuicr:—I see
that Tallapoosa is trying to get the C.,
A C. people to build a branch road from
sonic point above Buchanan 'to that
place, and the statement was published
in a paper in Tallapoosa that tlm road
was not paying expenses from Cedar town
to Carrollton. The writer is laboring
under a heavy misapprehension or he has
allowed his zeal to get the better part of
liis judgement. IC is a well known and
conceded fact now, that Carrollton is'the
best point and most progressive town in
Georgia. Her cotton receipts for tlicsea
sor. just passed exceed 20,000 bales; two
thirds vif this amount or 14,0tX) bales arc
shipped north over tlieC., If. & C. What
has Tallapoosa to equal this?' Through
her portals . hud reds of car loads of wes¬
tern and northern commerce are pouring
over tlie C., R. & C. to the South Allan-,
tic Sea bond* Carrollton does an annual
business of two and one quarter millions
of dollars; one-third or more of this vast
volume corofes over the C., R. & C,
business is greater than that of Tflllaport-.
sa and Cedartown eontblaed, and com¬
mencing at Cedartown and going south
to Maudevillo the vast, forests of pine
being laid waste and millions of foet of
lumber are being hauled over this road,
ft averages front seven to eight dollars
per car and an engineer told mo that lie
often rolled into® Cedartown with.from
twenty k> thirty ears of loaded lumber.
Say 20 car loads at $10 per car.'3 00
per trip, and that is a daily occurence. I
don’t think.the Tallapoosa, writer Iras in¬
vestigated the matter, or he would not
have made such a bold assertion. We
don’t car.e if. Tallapoosa, gets a dozen
roads, but we don’t want her to do if at
Buchanan’s disadvantage and misrepre¬
sentation of facts.
Buchanan is steadily growing and
w nuV — 1 ,:
is an assured fact now, we willTiave some
fine brick blocks built. She is the coun¬
ty town and is obliged to always be a bu¬
siness center. Now , if Tallapoosa will
co-operate with ,us and build the load
from Tallapoosa here, we wont object,
but we do object to being cut off with a
road from Cebartown, but we are cross¬
ing bridges before we get to them, I
hardly think we need have any fears.
C. J. JlUXAN,
NOTICE.
Whereas, G. L. Suggs holds, three one
hundred dollar notes against me, given
to G. L. Suggs and J. B. Eptrekin Decem¬
ber the 9th, 1890, I warn all persons not
to trade for said notes, for I will not pay
the same, as the consideration for which
they were gi ven is null and void.
This February the Kith, 1891.

HLACKSM1THING,
I respectfully call the attention of the
farmers and the public generally to the
fact that i am now ready to do any and
