GREAT DAY AT ADAIRSVILLE.
The odd fellows were fortunate
in selecting such an ideal day for
their regular annual convocation
and picnic as last Friday. A pret
ty day it was, indeed, and a large
happy crowd it was that attended
to enjoy their hospitality.
This occasion was the 82nd an
niversary of the fast growing and
already strong order. Three
lodges, Adairsville, Cedar Creek
and*Farmville lodges joined hands
to make the occasion the success it
was, and selected Poplar Springs,
two miles east of Adairsville as
the place. There were many odd
fellows from other lodges present,
until the number of the brethren
ran up into the hundreds.
The brethren presented a hand
some and impressive appearance
as they marched, in full regalia,
from the Adairsville lodge room to
the scene of the day, made more
animated by the heading of the
Starr band, a good one of twelve
pieces, that dispensed splendid
music.
Upon arrival at the grounds
the programme of speech making
was commenced and went through
without a hitch, which was liber
ally interpersed by good music by
the band.
In his welcoming address Dr.
W. W. Dykes, ot Folsom, made
all feel welcome and good to be
there, after which Col. W. P.
Dodd made a happy response.
Addresses were made by Rev. J.
S. Camp, Ed B. Lewis which
were much enjoyed.
The address of the day was that
of Mr. Rosser Thomas, who ac
quitted himself handsomely. It
was well received and thoroughly
enjoyed. Mr. Thomas showed
unmistakable signs of an orator,
and his words showed careful and
painstaking research. His tribute
to woman was couched in divinely
graceful language and the blushes
that mounted the cheeks of the
good ladies present showed their
deep appreciation of his remarks.
Mr Thomas sustained his reputa
tion thoroughly as an orator and
can very reasonably expect to be
used on all future occasions such
as this.
At 12 o’clock dinner was an
nounced, which had been loaded
upon long tables. It was a sight
for ye gods to look upon the splen
did array of all good things to
tempt one’s appetite. The quanti
ty was in thorough keeping with
the quality. It was beautifully
displayed and met the onslaughts
of the mighty hosts without seri
ous results, for there was more
than a sufficiency. It was a com
mon remark that a nicer lot of sub
stantial and delicacies were never
spread before a people before, and
demonstrated the fact that the
people of that section believed in
good living.
After dinner the people sat
about under the shade of the great
oaks and discussed affair in gener
al, and there an hour or more was
spent. Resuming the programme
Mr. J. L. Bass, of Rome, Grand
Master, delivered a splendid ad
dress upon the workings and
teachings of the order, which was
much enjoyed by his hearers. He
is an Odd Fellow of longstanding
and is a great factor in the work
of the lodge in this section. An
address by Mr. J. F. Hardin, a
recitation by Miss Minnie Roper,
an essay beautifully read by Miss
Agnes Noland, brought the pro
gramme up to the address of Hon.
Alex. Dittler, of Atlanta, Past
Grand Master. Mr. Dittler is
somewhat a wit and his address,
even full G f dry, but important
facts as to the work of the order,
was interspersed liberally with
pleasantries that were relished.
He was the last upon the pro
gramme, and the afternoon was
was hardlv commenced. Calls
were made for Mr. Kirby Ander
son who responded in his usual jo
vial way, succeeding very nicely in
attending to some of the jokes that
had been told at his expense.
Congressman John W. Maddox
was present, and upon being cal
led upon, made a splendid talk.
Though not an Odd Fellow he ap
preciated the noble work of the or
der and his remarks of genuine
sympathy with its great work was
much appreciated by his hearers,
especially by’ all the Odd Fellows
present. It was remarked that he
was fully a good enough friend to
the order to be one and it is quite
-,ndc. will receive an in- 1
vitation to join. All agreed that
he was too good timber to go to
waste, and ten to one he will be
leading an Odd Fellow goat a wild
race in due reason. He seems to
be happy to be with the people
and the people were delighted to
have their distinguished represent
ative with them.
NOTES.
Newt Anderson made a splendid
master of ceremonies and it was
delightful the way he made the
visitors feel welcome.
Billie Bradley, Levi Reeves,
John H. Cobb, Thos. Lumpkin
and a News man, all from Car
tersville, were on hand.
Editor Joe Bowdoin was dili
gent in making everybody com
fortable, and having a good time
himse'.f.
The Farmville band furnished
splendid music. To think that
such a good band should be or
ganized at a small country village,
away from the railroad, should
put the blush of shame to places of
more preter.sious importance.
The band had a dozen pieces
and each and every performer ac
quitted himself well. The people
of Farmville have cause to be proud
of the Starr band.
Kirby Anderson seemed to be
at home, and all were glad to see
him.
The splendid appearance of the
people, that bespoke intelligence
and thrift, was more than once re
marked upon the visitors and ob
servers generally.
THE EMERSON SINGING.
A Nice Crowd Present and Some
Good Music Had.
As prophesied in last week’s
News, there was a good crowd at
the all-day singing at Emerso,n
last Sunday. A more pleasant day
could not have been put on the
calendar. There was little notice
given of the affair and a very short
one at that, but that didn’t deter
the crowd from Hocking there.
The Methodist minister, Rev.
Mr. Reynolds had an appointment
there the same day, a fact over
looked by those having the sing
ing in charge. After a short but
strong sermon by the young minis
ter he turned the day over to sa
cred music.
Mr. Jake Moore, of Rome, was
master of ceremonies and he filled
his office most delightfully and ac
ceptably. He was accompanied
by Judge John P. Davis and his
two daughters, Miss Cora Powell
and Prof. Chas. Shitlet, of Lin
dale. Miss Davis presided at the
organ, Judge Davis and Miss Pow
ell accompanying with violins.
Prof. Shiflet led the singing occas
ionally.
Words can hardly express the
pleasure of those listening to the
delightful music, both vocal and
instrumental. Each performer
and singer were quite artists and
showed the care and attention that
had been bestowed in developing
their accomplishments.
Mr. Moore, the inimitable, was
in his h.xpp.est disposition and
kept the crowd in the happiest
mood the entire day. And he can
sing, tool It was generally re
marked that he could out sing and
get more music out of a crowd
than anybody that had been
around for some time. It is no
wonder that he is so popular with
his home folks as well as those
wherever he goes. He just simply
sings his way into their hearts.
A company of Stileabnro gen
tlemen were present and so charm
ed were they with the delightful
music, that they pressed upon
Mr. Moore and his friends an in
vitation to go to Stilesboro some
time in the near future. The en
tire party expessed a willingness
to favor the Stilesboro folks, and
no doubt when the day of singing
comes a very large crowd will be
present It is worth the time
spent, for a more delightful day
could not be spent or a more
profitable one than by one spent
in singing the sacred songs of Zion
by this company of clever ladies
and gentlemen.
It wo lid be the greatest injus
tise to close this without special
reference to the elegant repast fur
nished bv Col. and Mrs. C. M.
Jones and others, ample in quanti
ty, splendid in quality, the crowd
that partook were not equal to the
occasion of entirely consuming it.
It was simply superb.

BARTOW’S RURAL
MAIL DELIVERIES.
Thanks to Judge Maddox She Has
Three.
The wonderful benefits of the
rvral free mail deliveries will be
secured by the people of Bartow
county, thanks to the untiring ef
forts of Judge John W. Maddox.
As the appropriation for this ser
vice of the department is nearly
exhausted, our luck is that much
more appreciated.
Adairsville has just .been given
two splendid routes covering a
vast amount of territory. Carters
ville gets one. As the territory in
the Cartersville vicinity is pretty
much covered by r.ail and star
route service it was pretty hard
to iind room for a free delivery.
Judge Maddox and Special
Agent Arnold were in Cartersville
last week, gc ing over the routes
proposed. One route taking in
the territory around Rogers Sta
tion had been proposed and would
probably have been established
but the Feirobutte post office was
established, thus supplying the
majority of families with their
mail and it was abandoned. Judge
Maddox had the matter reopened
and p rsonallv looked after the es
tablishment of the route by leav
ing out the Rogers section and ex
tending it in other directions.
The route now a: established
starts in at Cartersville, going
down the Tennessee road by Col.
Crenshaw, leaving the river at the
ochre works to the right, by the
Field and Bates farm, thence
down the river by Col. J. J. Con
ner to the road that leads to Mi
lam bridge, over which it is con
tinued, thence by Nick Adams by
by the Ladd Lime works to the
city. The carrier leaves at 10:30
in the morning and returns to the
city about 6 o’clock in the after
noon.
The carrier outfit will be a verit
able postoffice of wheels as well as
a carrier for parcels and passen
gers The carrier is a bonded offi
cer and can take money to be for
warded by money order, and reg
istered mail.
Mr. Zach T. Russell was ap
pointed carrier by Judge Maddox,
and Gid Hendricks, substitute.
These appointments according to
the law creating the service places
the appointing power with the
congressman.
Postmaster Akerman, two vears
ago. when the law was first passed
commenced the work of getting a
route out of Cartersville, and
speaks highly of the way Judge
Maddox has pushed the good
cause, never abandoning it, even!
when it had been abandoned by
everybody else, until his effoits
have been crowned with success.
The route will be started on July
Ist. The bonds of the carrier and
substitute have been made and
they will be ready on the day
named.

ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
Hugh Wofford, Colored, Charged
With Murder of Eva Ross.
A few weeks ago Eva Ross, a
young colored woman, died under
most suspicious circumstances.
Just before dying. Dr. Thomas H.
Baker was called in and he freely
gave it as his opinion that the girl
was suffering from a heavy blow
on the back of the head. The girl
was reticent as to how the blow
came but her relatives stat
ed that she had had a row a day
or so before, and it was thought
she was roughly handled. The
girl died and it looked as if the
matter was hushed up.
However, talk was general
among the colored people and
1 uesday a warrant was sworn out
by Court Bailiff Will Goode,
against an East & West train hand,
Hugh Wofford, colored, charged
with inflicting the wounds that
caused the girl’s death.
Wednesday morning Sheriff
Griffin and Goode met the incom
ing East & West train and placed
| the man under arrest, and put him
in jail to await preliminary hear
ing.
Dr Baker is positive in the
statement that the girl had been
seriously hurt at the back of the
head, just where the cranium joins
the spinal column. Her symptoms
indicated that her whole nervous
system had been shattered and a
bruise at that particular point was
noticed.
