when asked how he liked the result OF

Notwithstanding the strlngency OF money
matters, Acworth is still improving. The
Acworth Mill Company is going ahead and
ere long will have one OF the best equipped
and finest Touring mills in Cherokee Geor-
ga. 1t is in the hands OF men, who do not
do business by halves.
NJ. M. Phillips is having built fine resi-
dence aud will soon have it completed
Other improvements and repairs are going
on. Capt. j. l.. Lemons tannery and
shoe>house are in full blast and doing a
successful business.
The Acworth Hotel has been literally
patronized this year and is doing a success
full business.
Our schools are we'll attended & nd prop,
ery conducted.
Acworth is receiving her full share OF
cotton and our merchants are paying liber
al prices considering the depressed condi'
tion OF the market Doubtless every ousi-
ness house in Acworth will loose more OF
less on cotton this season. 1t is the opin>
ion of informed men that the present croT
will fall little short OF an average cror
and the farmers seem generally discourag'
ed in consequence of the low price OF cot
ton.
The corn crop is good and the people
are about done gathering.
