HOME AND OTHER ITEMS.
AS THEY TRANaFIRE FROM ONE
WEEK TO ANOTHER.
Oxford hatted Covington out of the
box in a game of base hall one after
noon last week. Our Iwtys must play
their nine together and get in practice
before they can expect to win any
match games.
Home people around here are of the
opinion that it will he mere luck for
an editor nr a lawyer so secure safe
passage through the pearly gates,—
The direct promise that those who
heur the cross will one day wear the
cowu, will entitle some of our editori
al brethreu to admittance, but how
the legal fraternity expects to secure
entrauce, is not for us to say.
The Georgia alliance has secured
assurance of 13,000,000 yards of cot
ton bagging, enough to make the
trust feel decidedly bkie over the
prospects of robbing the planters of
Georgia. Now, the fanners must en
gage this cotton bagging and promise
to use it, even if jute is reduced in
price. Money must be spent, and u
little lost, before any huge trust can
l>e shaken, much less broken.
Rev. Tony Baker tells us that fifty
or sixty dollars has been raised to
build a uew colored Baptist church iu
onyers. He says the white people
of Conyers will aid them when they
get ready to build. He also tells us
that Itev. Samuel S. 8. Broadnax
state missionary, preached two forci
ble sermons for him at Shady Grove,
Rockdale county, Saturday and Sun
day last. Let the good work go on
Joe Harris, who cut Wash Galli
ger, aud then took leg bail, was cap
tured by Baililf King, of Oak Hill
district, ami brought to town Thurs
day. The trial was set for Friday,
but Wash had “gone a fishing,” so
his wife said, and up to this writing
has unt returned. Being cool here it
is surmised that he went abroad in
search of calmer waters. However,
sufficient evideuce was secured to bind
Joe over to the su|erioir court, while
Zol Hudson, an accomplice, was re
leased. All the parties are colored.
Strawberries and the frying size
chicken are here. Spring suits are
in the market and are being worn on
the streets. However, these things
are out of the reach of country edi
tors w hose home merchants do not ad
vertise. It may lie all right, but it
is powerful inconvenient for some peo
pie to be poor. We speak not alone
from hearsay, for we have been per
mitted to "enjoy” a few of the pang*
of povtry and this is why our mouth
frequently w ;terg for good eating and
our luck occasionally itches for anew
suit of clothes.

THE SALEM FIG NIC.
Editor Enterprise : —The picnic at
Salem camp ground, 1 ist Saturday,
under the auspices of the selio Is at
Salem and at Cross Roads Academy,
was one of the most enjoyable occa
sinus of the kind ever transpiring at
that place. 210 pounds of the very
finest red snapper fish were provided
hy the good people of that vicinity
and prepared and served hot on the
grounds. The fish, together with the
unlimited amount of suhstuntials and
dainties prepared by th: excellent la
dies of the neighborhood, made up a
most tempting and bountiful repast
--more than enough for twice the
oue thousand persons present.
The supervision of the occasion was
placed in the safe bands of Maj. Geo.
M. Cunningham, who is a geutlemen
of true worth and good-humor, ami as
a roaster of ceremonies could hardly
be excelled within the hounds of our
state. Rrief and pointed speeches
were made by Cols. J C. Burton and
\V(u. L- Peek and Rev. Mr. Rakes.
The music was furnished by the Sa
lem string hand, and was superb
In the afternoon the Haleru Light
Infantry had a splendid practice drill.
In a few months we propose to march
into Covington and your town and
county will see a company that they
may well feel proud. Mr. G. O. Liv
ingston is the gallant Captain of this
new company.
At night the young people enjoyed
a most pleasant sociable at Alliance
Hall. So ended one of the most en
joyable pie nics ever had in this sec
tion of Georgia.
Never in ali our picnic experience
have we seen people of ull ages, sizes,
classes ami conditions enjoy a picnic
so well. Never was there gathered a
prettier, sweeter or more amiable
crowd of young ladies, or a more
manly and gentlemanly set of young
men Never was any occasion graced
•hy more queenly matrons, or digni
fied hy more honorable or wholcsoul
ed men.
May God bless old Salem and scat
ter over her good people his richest
blessings. G.

—SLACK OF STEAM, |
111 an article to his paper, the Rich
mond Vn., Christian Advocate, Dr. j
Latferty. under the above head, has
this to say of our immediate section: j
"Forty miles from Atlanta is n \
twin town. One side of the depot is
Covington. The other side is Oxford, j
Covington has the court hou<e—-one
of the best 1 ever saw outside of n
great city. Oxford has Emory col- >
lege, and is historic as the residence
of Bishops Andrew and of Pierce for
uwhile und recently of Key. The
two towns are rich iu great oaks. The
residences, half bid in vine and flow
ering shrub, are gabled villus. Here
I met Rev. George W. Yarbrough,
whose inimitable pen has often adorn
ed the "Old Richmond,” and delight
ed its readers I lectured for La
Pracle, the Pastor of Covington M
E. church, hut briefly and stupidly.
The Virginia folks will know some
thing got wrong —a “hot box” or
hurst tube in the boiler —when I tell
that the talk blew down brakes at the
end of an hour. At that majk on
the dial I usually set cut-olf valve,
and draw nut throttle. The bad wa
ter at Atlanta made the machine
"foam,” us the engineers say, and
the thirty-five minims tine. opii. run
the steam down The whistle only
buzzed with a siliva hot water instead
of waking the woods as it went by.
I side tracked the "L e'e of Luck” at
the first switch. I came up the next
morning into better condition, and
spent tlie forenoon with the eminent
Georgia lawyer, Mr. Pace, and his
cultured and charming family. There
was never dreamed or drawn on steel
such faces us Mrs Ousley, of Chica
go, ami child, daughter of Mr. Pace.
She is iu Europe. I saw tlie photo,
graphs The S uth remains the land
of matchless women. I missed War
ren Candler, the “Little Giant” Pres
ident of Emory College. He preach
ed two hundred miles away. I long
ed to get my arms around him, and
renew the precious hours we had in
Richmond at tlie general conference.”
We clip the following from an ex
change: “Jadgimr from our ex
bhanges there must he about a dozen
candidate for congress in this district.
Of course Judge Stewart is not ex
pected to run as he "was” in for rota
tion” No ;of course Judge Stewart
will not run again, ns he is too good a
democrat to want to monopolize the
office. He will stand aside and see
(.’apt Harry .Jackson, Rufe Dorsey,
Torn Glenn and others congressional
aspirants from the different counties
in the district "burn the wind.”—

A Question and an Answer. —Who are
the most prosperous farmers ia Newton
county? Answer.—Those who raise their
supplies as near as practicable at home and
buy those they cannot raise at home for
spot cash. A word to the wise is sufficient
Are you wise? We hope so, for we will
sell you your goods for spot cash lower than
any credit house can or will sell them to
you. Lee & Guinn.

giving such unparalleled satisfaction
