CASSVILLE.
Decoration Day a Sad Yet Happy
Occasion.
Yesterday was Decoration Dav
.at old Cassville. We like Decora
tion day much better than we do
Memorial Day; somehow it sounds
sweeter and oreathes of our child-
Jiood.
Were you there? Well, if you
were not, you will never know
what you missed. Early in the
day people began to gather and
,by two o’clock a large crowd had
.assembled.
Faithful to their trust, the La
ches’ Memorial Association and
The Daughters of the Confederacy J
iiad made all things ready. Beau
tiful among the dark green of j
waving cedars gleamed the white :
marble slabs lately erected by the J
U. 1). C. And surely the red :
white and blue of the confederacy
never beamed more radiantly of |
purity and love than it did twined i
on that weather-beaten old stand
hidden away among the trees.
The program was peihaps more
complete than ever before. Rev.
A. 11. Rice made the opening
prayer. The spirit seemed to hov
er on his lips as his voice rose to
■God in thanks and petitions. The
speaker, Rev. Mr. Noland, was in
troduced by Dr. Harris in words
well chosen and well spoken. We
have not forgotten his addresses
of former years. That speech of
vesterday! We think those old
hills are still echoing its eloquence
this soft May morning.
Would that one could remember
its every word. But while the
mind still thrills with its senti
ment, the beautiful words have
many of them, slipped away. But
one thought above all others linger
still, it was “that the north and
south were as the Siamese twins
—a life-chord uniting them though
they fought.” Grand conception
of the union! True idea that the
two are not, and cannot be one,
yet one life vibrates both.
Another thought that kind
words and deeds for the old vetei
ans are as deserved as laurels for
the dead.
Judge Akin in his own good
way then delivered the crosses of
honor. Giving new value to them
by causing people to think why
thev are given. We could but
smile to hear some of the old vet
erans say “1 wonder why they
didn’t give me one.” Why? Don’t
they know that if they will estab
lish their claims and apply to Mrs.
Mack Johnson, the champion of
the crosses, they may obtain one.
When the Bartow Guards start
ed an their march some one called
out “Look out the yankees are
coming!” A ripple followed, but
we think it too bad that they must
be yanks simply because they
wore the blue. The boys show
good drilling and do themselves
credit and will doubtless be heard
from in the future.
Then loving hands placed on
each lowly mound “Love’s last of
fering” and decoration was over.
We turned homeward saddened
.ojh yet happy.
LIBERTY HILL.
A Lot of Personals and Other
News Items.
Liberty Hill, May 13 —Mr.
and Mrs. H. A. Loveless and quite
a crowd of young people and chil
dren visited the Sunday school at
New Salem, the new church near
Capt. Nick Adams, last Sunday.
They report the school in a flour
ishing condition. We hope to
have a Sunday school of our
own soon, as every community
ought to have a Sunday school for
xhe children; at least during the
pleasant months of the year.
We hear comment on every side
at the marked improvement in ap
pearance of several places in Su
gar Valley. The secret i Mr.
Jasper L Wheeler the boss farmer !
of this section has been overhaul
ing, clearing and removing around j
here. Mr. Wheeler, besides being
a wide awake farmer, is an oblig
ing, clever gentlemen.
Prof. C. F. Weaver, of Ball
Ground, was an interesting visitor
in this section this week. Prof.
Weaver’s periodical visits are al- !
ways appreciated by all who have
the good fortune of his genial ac-!
quaintance.
Mr. and Mrs. Seaborn Jones
and little son Grady are off to
- Cherokee county on a visit to rel
atives and friends.
Oh, how beautiful, how lovely,
how artistic are the various ex
clamations. It is Mrs. H. A
Loveless’ yard. Mrs. Loveless
give a great deal of attention to
the culture of flowers and she has
them “A thing of beauty and a
ioy f®rever;” almost every kind
and variety in their season. There
is no time in the year when her
flower garden does not present
an attractive appearance.
M-. G. W. Ponder is spending
her daughter, Mrs. Cook, who has
been very sick but we are glad to
hear is convalescing.
We are glad to state that Mrs.
Lucius Guyton, who has been s.ek
for several weeks is considerably
better.
We wish a great deal of good
luck and success to The News,
w.iich is rapidly improving and is
in our opinion one of the best of
county chronicles.

; Farms and Gardens are Flourish
ing Around This Place.
Farm work is progressing nicely j
now. Cotton is all planted and ;
on many frields fine stands are to j
be seen. Plowing corn is now the
order of day but somehow it does
not look so healthy as it usually
does at this time of the year but
we guess the work it is receiving
now will soon start it up.
Wheat is heading and the out
look just now is very flattering.
The oat crop which upon an aver
age is excellent but would be made
better if a good rainfall could be
had.
Childrens’ day was again cele
brated last Saturday at Oak Grove
Methodist church. This is annual
celebration and is always looked
forward to w'ith much interest by
the children. The gathering at
this time was large and all enjoyed
it pleasantly’.
Many of our people are going to
attend the laying of the corner
stone of the Kingston High school
on the 17th inst.
1 he fruit crop of this section is
going to be larger than was antici
pated a few weeks ago. We no
tice it is beginning to grow’ nicely.
Gardens are looking nice and
if nothing happens in a week or so
our tables can be served with many
kinds ot vegetables.
While we are telling how nice
everything is looking and the hope
ful outlook for a bountiful yield
we will not forget to tell your
readers that the snake crop also is
a flourishing one too if their num
bers are any indication.

In Memoriam.
Minnie Lee, little daughter of I.
M. and Mollie Smith, was born
Feb. Ist, 1895, and sweetly fell
asleep in Jesus May 9th, 1901. She
suffered only seven days and
nights, but oh! such suffering
hasn’t been witnessed by family
and friends in a lifetime; was
taken with a hard spasm from
that time unt’l death came, never
had a minute’s ease. She was a
sweet child, obedient, loving, kind,
affectionate and agieeable in all
her little plays.
\Ye will miss her, oh! so much,
but God “doeth all things well,
therefore we know He did not err
in taking this precious little lamb
to live with Him and her two little
sisters, who preceded her to the
better land.
Beautiful little hands of Minnie,
Lorene and an infant are beckon
ing father, mother, brothers and
sisters to come on to the glory
land, where they all can sing the
songs Minnie could sing so well
here, for a child of six summers
May God’s richest blessings rest
on the bereaved one is the prayer
of one who loved her.

THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERS VILER. GA
TWO OF THE OLDEST CLUBS
The Semi Centennial Of The
Adelphems And Philomatheans
At Wesleyan On May 28.
Mac r .n Telegr ph.
The former members of the
Adelphean and Philomathean
societies of W. sleyan college are
making great preparations for the
celebration of their semi-centen
nial at the commencement of 1901.
The Adelphean Society was or
ganized in 1851 and the Philoma
thean in 1852. so that on the morn
ing of May 28 they will unite in
commemorating those days of
long ago, when the mothers and
grandmothers of the girls of today
met together and formed these
two bands —the two oldest wo
men’s clubs in the United States.
The programme for this great
reunion day is not yet complete,
but among other things there will
be an address of welcome by Mrs.
John B. Cobb (Alice Culler); a
letter from Mrs. Eugenia T. Fitz
gerald of Washington, D. C., who
was the first president of the
Adelphean society; addresses by
Mrs. Walter Douglas Lamar
(Dorothy Blount) of Macon, Mrs.
Florida Redding Carr of Atlanta,
and Mrs. Tochie Williams Mac-
Dowell of Nashville, Tenn.; a
poem by Mrs. William Parsons
(Carrie Waterman) of Hawkins
ville; a recitation bv Miss Mary
Lyndon of Athens, and music by
Mrs. Ed. Schofield (Mamie Little)
of Macon, Mrs. Hal. Divine
(Emmie Carter) of Atlanta, and
Mrs. Mary Harrison of Opelika,
Ala., and a quartette of Macon
voices.
On Wednesday evening of com
mencement a reception will be
given by the former Macon mem
bers of the tw'o societies to the
visiting alumnae, to the trustees
and faculty and former students
of the college. This will be a lovely
affair and will be attended by
many “old girls” from a distance.
The Macon ladies have beer, trying
to communicate though the papers
withjthe old members in other
cities and towns, and Mrs. J. B.
Cobb and Mrs. Waiter Lamar will
be glad to hear from any Adel
pheans and Philomatheans who
think that they can attend this
commencement and who can
arouse in their homes any enthusi
asm in this reunion. The railroads
of Georgia, Alabama, Florida
and Tennessee have given re
duced rates for this occasion. Per
sons coming to Macon must secure
certificates from the agents at
their homes saying they have paid
full fare for tickets to Macon;
then their return tickets will be
sold to them for one-third the full
rate.
All the old Adelpheans and
Philomatheans who can possibly
arrange to come will wish to be at
this celebration of thei. semi-cen
tennial and make of it an historic
occasion in the annals of the old
college.
