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. THE NEWS. 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. TO RECEIVE CROSSES.

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. Mules for sale. A. M. Fouth, Receiver. May 3*2t. CHEROKEE PRESBYTERY.
