We appreciate the article from
he gifted pen of Judge Neel in
this week’s Courant American on
our peach growing. He has a
suggestion to offer which we copy,
one suggestion and we close; ‘lt
seems to me that fruit canning and
drying plants should accompany
the fruit growing industry. By
that means much fruit could be uti
lized which cannot be shipped du
ring the fruit season, but the dried
and canned goods could be sold du
ring the winter.” Right you are
Judge, we have talked, and talked,
but no way has yet been provided.

GOLD IN HIS GIZZARD.
Valuable Find In the Gizzard of a
Chicken Killed Saturday.
wr. J. S. Rhodes, of the Sixth
district, exhibited in town on Mon
day a half dozen small nuggets of
gold which he stated was found in
the gizzard of a chicken which was
killed by his wife on Saturday
evening.
After dressing the chicken,which
was frying size, Mrs. Rhodes split
open the gizzard and noticed sever
al particlesof shiny metal to which
she called the attention of Mr.
Rhodes. He pronunced it gold,
and to satisfy himself he brought
it to Cartersville on Monday and
had it tested. It proved to be the
genuine metal.
Mr. Rhodes says that he raised
the chicken on his place, but he
was unable to say where it found
the gold, titdess it was along the
branch, which runs close by the
house.
Mr. Rhodes will make a search
and try and locate the gold which
may mean a valuable find for him.
The amount of gold found in the
gizzard was sixty-four cents.

Letter From Virginia-
On the second day of this month
my wife and I boarded the 10
o’clock train and were on our way
to the valley of Virginia, after
an absence of twenty-nine yeais.
Only those who have been away
from their homeland, and separated
from kinfolks an<j friends of early
days, can imagine how our hearts
beat and how impatient we were
at delays. We were prepared for
all delays until we reached Roa
noke. Here a detention of one and
a half hours made us vsry impa
tient, for we knew we would miss
our last connection, only twenty
seven miles from home, but thanks
to the kindness of conductor the
train was held until our train ar
rived. In a few minutes we were
whirling along through our native
county and varied scenes of my
early boyhood days, but it was too
dark to recognize any place. About
nine o’clock the flagman called out
Bridgewater, and we felt we were
once more at our homeland. Soon
we were driving down the street,
of which every house was indelibly
impressed upon our minds, not as
they are now, but as we used to
see them. We stopped at the home
of a cousin of my wife, and were
most cordially welcomed, and felt
that our home coming would be
full of pleasure. Our friends were
all taken by surprise, as we did not
write to a single one of our inten
tion. Next morning I started out
to hunt up the ones that I used to
know, who were still here, while a
great many were gone, yet I found
a larger number than I had count
ed upon, and the warm manner in
which we have been greeted made
us feel that the absence of twenty
nine years had not made them for
get us, and that there was still a
warm place in their hearts for us.
For a week we have had a perfect
loving ovation, and have not seen
all our friends. Yet amid all the
pleasant intercourse, there are
some sad memories which will in
trude. We miss the hearty greet
ing of many of our old friends.
•We have many reminders that we
are getting old. Those we left as
children greet us and introduce
their children, some of whom are
grown. The town has improved
very much. We were prepared
for this by reading the paper from
here, but the many changes in the
country almost startled us. The
farms have been divided and there
were new houses and barns in
many directions. A few nights
after our arrival, a boyhood friend
and soldier comrade who left here
the year before we did, for Indiana,
put in his appearance. Old mem
ories are revived and many battles
fought over, and so the days pass
too swiftly.
This is a sad day, for one of my
boyhood friends and comrades will
be laid away. He was one of the
few who recognized me as soon as
he saw me, and gave me a warm
and heartfelt greeting. We at
tended the church of which we
were so fond, but found few fa
miliar faces, yet we felt it was
good to be there.
Tomorrow we are invited to a
Sunday school picnic, are antici
pating a nice time.
Amid all these pleasant associa
tions and scenes, I often think of
old Georgia and the many deal
friends there. J. C. H.
Bridgewater, Va., Aug. 18, 1900.

THE REUNION
Of the Survivors of the First and
Sixth Geurala Cavalry.
Among the survivors of the
First and Sixth Georgia Cavalry
are numerous citizens of this
county. There were two compan
panies of the First Georgia made
up in the county. I. and H. The
First Georgia has for several years
had their annual reunion and have
organized their survivors’ associa
tion. The Sixth Georgia has not
had an organization, although they
had a reunion at Sardis church in
Floyd county, about fifteen years
ago. The First and Sixth Georgia
cavalry were great chums in the
war, and shared with each other
the dangers and the trials incident
to the Kentucky campaign, the
campaign with Lougstreet in East
Tennessee and the retreat of John
ston trom Dalton to Atlanta.
The meeting of the veterans of
these regiments in Rome last Wed
nesday made an impressive and a
solemn scene.
A braver band of patriots never
drew blade or raised a carbine.
It was a taunt of the infantry in
the service in Virginia, a man was
never found dead with spurs on
All this was swept aside in the
realistic scenes i 1 the East Ten
nessee campaign, where Martin’s
division fought side by side with
infantry, dismounted and held their
ground heroically as did their fel
low’s on foot. Those who went
from this locality were R. L. Grif
fin, O. U. Glasgow, G. W. Loch
ridge, D. B. Freeman. Major A. M.
Foute went as a veteran and well
wisher.
The reunion was held held at
Mobley’s,park.
Judge John W. Maddox made
the welcoming speech, which was
responded to by J. L. Cobb, of
Atlanta.
Lieutenant George Webster, of
the First Georgia who was last
year elected president of the sur
vivors’ association in his annual
addess, among other things, said:
‘‘This regiment was composed
mostly of young men from the
counties of Meriwether, Troupe,
Heard, Pike, Spalding, Coweta,
Carroll, Campbel 1 , Douglas, Pauld
ing, Bartow, Polk, and Floyd.
“Thirty five yea s have rolled by
since we laid down our arms, and
turned towards our homes from
Greensboro, N. C. with heavy
hearts to face destruction and
poverty, to begin life anew iu this
world, where we had left homes of
wealth and plenty.
“To the men of the Ist Ga. cav
alry who yet clasp hands with me
in the friendship that was cement
ed in blood, to grow stronger
through all the passing years, and
to the memory of those who have
gone from our sight, to be ever
present in our hearts.”
A joint organization of the First
and Sixth was formed. Dr. Branch,
of Polk, was elected president,
Capt. J. J.O’Neill, vice president,
and R. B. McArver, secretary.
Annual joint reunions were arrang
ed for.
The next place of meeting will
be Cedartown and the first Wed
nesday in August the date.

chapel Sunday school August sth,
1900:
Whereas the great and supreme
ruler of the universe has, in His
infinite wisdom, removed from
among us one of our worthy arid
esteemed fellow-laborers, Union
Orr Gaines, and whereas the long
and intimate relation held with
him in the faithful discharge of his
duties iu this Sunday school makes
it eminently befitting that we re
cord our appreciation of him,there
fore be it .
Resolved Ist. That the wisdom
and ability which he has exercised
in the aid of our Sunday school by
service, contribution and counsel,
will be held in grateful remem
brance.
Resolved 2d. That the sudden
removal of such a life from our
midst leaves a vacancy and a shad
ow that will be deeply realized by
all the members and friends of this
Sunday school, and prove a se
rious loss to the community and
the church.
Resolved 3d. That with deep
sympathy with the bereaved rela
tives of the deceased we express
our hope that even so great a loss
to us all maybe overruled for good
by Him who doetli all things well.
Resolved 4th. That a copy of
these resolutions be spread upon
the records of this Sunday school,
a copy printed in the local paper,
and a copy forwarded to the be
reaved family.
