The Veterans’ Reunion.
Just a .word about the fourteenth
annual reunion of Confederate
veterans. It was eminently suc
cessful, and, all in all, the most
enjoyable the writer has attended.
The weather was ideal, the
crowds large and enthusiastic,
The gates of Nash vile were wide
open, and the dear old soldiers of
the army, which can never be re
cruited, rec ivcd every needed at
tention. Lodgings were furnished
free to many who took their meals
THE'NEWS AND COURANT.
at the Confederate hotel, where
about forty thousand meals were
served during the three days.
The ranks are thinning rapidly,
the heads whitening and the steps
less firm, but a proposition to dis
pense with the parade feature of
the reunions was promptly de
feated, the sentiment being to
march while we can without as
sistance, then leau upon the arms
of the sons. A resolution looking
to a revision of the words of Dixie
met the same fate.
These words are writ in the
hearts of Confederate veterans,
and are too sacred for change.
General Stephen D. Lee was
chosen successor to our own la
mented Gordon, and Louisville
captured the veteraus for next year.

little grove.and was a sumptuous
feast enjoyed by all. Interest in
this new school house has been
great for some time and the people
were out in force, thus manifesting
their gratification at the culmina

people present from Cartersville,
Pin#Log and other points in the
county. * For their untiring zeal
and liberality in contributing their
time and effort and other aid, Mes
srs I). J. Guyton and J. W. Layton

of the people of the community.
At 2 o’clock the crowd gathered
to hear an address on education by
Judge A. W. Fite. The judge was
at his best and made a great talk
that was much appreciated.
The school house would be a
credit to any rural community
and will be supplied with the
best equipages in the way of seats,
desks, etc. The location is afine one.
It is three miles and a half from

FROM RAIN IN A GIN HOUSt
And Are Struck By Lightning-
Mules and Horses are
Also Hurt
Near Kington, on the A. F.
Woolley farm, now run by Mr.

lightning did some startling work,
in \vhich some negroes and farm
stock were the victims.
There were seven farm hands
with their plow animals on the way
to the field; and a storm coming up
they took shelter in a gin house.
They were detained by the rain
until about 2:30 o’clock, when
lightning struck the cotton house
and also those in it.
One negro, Jim Bullock, was
killed, another negro w r as knocked
down and all the others shocked
and injured more or less. One
mule was killed and two horses
knocked down and badly injured.
REMEMBERING A KINDNESS-
Son Is Rewarded for Good Deeds
of his Father.
During the years following the
civil war when Thos. F. Jones, was
little boy, his father, Dr.
Thos. F. Jones, who was always
noted for his goodness of heart,
conducted a drug store and pract
iced his profession at Kingston in
this county.
At that time a young man from
another state happened to stop at
Kingston with his pocketbook
empty and sorely in need of a
friend. Dr. Jones heard his story
and gave him a home and a posi
tion in his drug store. The young
man was attentive to business and
in the course of a few years invest
ed his earnings in a little farm
nea’ - the town. He afterward went
to Florida and located at Flamingo,
where he engsged in business and
prospered.
Last week Mr. Jones opened an
envelope which came to him
through the mails and it contained
a deed from H H Fraer, the young
man whom his father had befriend
ed, conveying the title of the farm
to Thos. F. Jones.
Mr. Jones says that his family
has not heard from Mr. Fraer for
thirty years, until this deed was
received, and there was no letter
then, the envelope contained only
the deed.

Invention of Galveston Harwell

Mr. Galveston Harwell, of this
city, has been granted letters pat

bring a fortune to himself and
prove a blessing to the farmers of
the cotton states.
His invention is a two wheel
cultivator, planter and cotton chop

principal feature of the invention
and consists of two adjustible hoes
which have a backward and for
ward movement across the row,

required so as to chop the cotton to
stand or leave as many stalks as is
desired.
Mr. Harwell has been working
on his invention for several years,
and has at last brought it to its

several flattering offers for an
interest in his perfection, but has
not yet decided whether he will
manufacture it himself or sell the
patent to other parties.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC-
Pleasant Day Spent at Shelman
Heights Last Friday
There’ was a consensus of opin
ion, heartily expressed by all, that
the union picnic of the Presbyte
rian, Methodist and Baptist Sunday
schools, held at Shelman Heights
last Friday, was a success in every
particular. Six hundred would be
a conservative estimate of the crowd,
as 431 tickets were sold at this
place, In addition to the crowd,
or aside from this interesting feat
ure, the large number of filled bas
kets and baskets full of good things,
prepared by the ladies for the inner
man, played an important part at
the dinner hour.
Good feeling, good fellowship
and good cheer maiked the open
ing, the progress and close of the
daw There were children, from
the smiling little babe of a year or
so old up to ages into the scores
and tens, all enjoying the day most
pleasantly.
Mesdames Shelman. Conyers,
Akin and other ladies arranged a
game of old-fashioned base, in
which such young and active gen
tlemen as Messrs. Griffin, Patter
son, Howard, Field, Cannon and
others took part. Every player
tried to see how much he could
fall all over himself and everybody
else in reach of him, and made
much fun for the others.
Those who had the management
of the picnic knew just what to do
to make it a success,‘and the crowd
returned to the city in the evening
with pleasant memories of the day
at Shelman.
BARTOW SUPERIOR COURT-
Only One Week Will Be Held at
July Term.
Owing to the fruit season arriv
ing just at the time of the July
term of court, and the absence of
Judg - John W. Akin, who is in
terested in a number of the cases
on the docket as attorney, and who
will necessarily be in attendance
upon the legislature, Judge A. W.
Fite has decided that he will hold
only one week of the July term of
court at the regular time for the
purpose of trying certain civil cases
and clearing the jail.
Gran j jurors and traverse jurors,
drawn for the first week,will attend
on the opening of the court on the
second Monday in July, and after
holding one week the court will be
adjourned to the fourth Monday in
October, when the jurors drawn
for the second and third weeks will
attend on the fourth and fifth Mon
days respectively.
No bonded cases will be heard
at the July sitting of the court,
but will be left over to the October
adjourned term, and those inter
ested will takt> notice and act ac
cordingly.

Valuable Real Estate Sold at Auct
lon Last Saturday.
The property of the Blue Ridge
Mining Cos., in this and other
counties, and formerly known as

Saturday, and bought by Judge
John W. Akin for the bond holders

was in favor of the bondholders,
who will reorganize the company
and place it on a sound basis. The
property will either be sold at a
later date or operated by the new
company.
Whisky Medicines.
The temperance press is empha
sizing the danger to the home in
the use of "medicines” which are
loaded with whisky or alcohol. In
this respect, as well as in the
remarkable character of their cures,
Dr. Pierce’s medicines differ from
other preparations. Dr. Pierce’s
Medical Discovery and "Favorite
Prescription” contain no alcohol,
whiskey or other intoxicant, and
are equally free from opium,
cocaine and other narcotics. Every
family should have a copy of the
People’s Common Sense Medical
Adviser, sent absolutely free, on
receipt of stamps to pav expense
of mailing only. Send 21 one-cent
stamps for the book in paper cov
ers, or 31 stamps for cloth binding.

hammer and would rap on one of these suits you
could hear it rattle.
I ake our honest word for it, these hair-cloth fronts are

IHH CLOTHING made by Schloss Bros. & Cos.
• doesn t have to rely on such artifices for good looks
or shape-retaining style A SCHLOSS COAT is
held up by good tailoring and good cloth, know
ing how to do this thing is their trade secret.
A SCHLOSS COA T has a natural “hang” about it
that we like to describe as “draping.” It gives the
garment a graceful, unforced look, that has an
indescribable charm for the particular man with
artistic sensibilities.
Everything that enters into this coat is the best that
brains can select and money can buy. No detail
of construction is too insignificant to be dis
regarded. The wrong button too frequently spoils
a'n otherwise perfect garment.
THE SCHLOSS COAT has a perfect fitting collar
and hallowed out s ou'ders of broad effect, minus
the “little tin soldier” front so much in evidence in
other makes of clothing. There is no stuffed or
padded look about the shoulders so common in
clothing made by houses that give less attention to
artistic detail.
While SCHLOSS Clothing has always stood upon the
top-notch of high art, still in the last six months
there has been a wonderful improvement, making
them in every feature tailor made—superior in
fabric-lower in price. Look for’ the label.
SCHLOSS is the kind we sell.
I he same applies to each of the various
departments in our store. The stock is kept full
new arrivals each day—stressing now tan shoes
and oxfords that have just appeared.
We are alive in every part of our immense store, and

and painstaking energy which is to y.our saving.

Mr. G. H. Aubrey, of Carters
vilie, who is right-of-way attorney
for the Louisville & Nashville
railway company, was in Spring
Place Wednesday night.
Wnen asked by the News man
which of the routes surveyed he
believed would be built, Mr. Au

“.While I do not speak with au
thority, in my opinion the line built
will run from Wettuore to Carters

rouce, perfecting the right-of-way

Chattanooga.”
The line to Cartersville will pass
within two and one-half miles of
Spring Place.
Election of Teachers-
In the mention of the teachers
elected and the grades to which
they had been assigned in last

Miss Lena Ford was elected to the

Miss Viola Stanford to the first
grade of the same and Miss Sallie

the grammar school.
