Round About in Bartow. 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. FORD. ; 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. CROWS SPRINGS. Mis. D. A. Spence, of Pelham, Ga., is visiting the family of her uncle, Mr. I. D. Henderson. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Smalley, of Atlanta, visited friends here re cently.

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.

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.

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. mr. mack McCollum.
