RUM) ABOUT IN BARTOW. various Hapoenings in the Sever al Neighborhoods ' Carefully Hiid Tersely for Conrant- AmerlCHii Reader* l>y f>ur Übiq uitous Reporter*. HALL’S MILLS. I,ast Saturday was the day set apart for onr annual picnic. About 8 o clock they began to gather, and by 10 o clock there wan a large crowd on the grounds. Vi- that time the music began, Prof. Wal drin in charge. When the train arrived we were disap pointed to know that Hon. John IV. Akin, who was to speak on that occa sion, "didn’t come. The superintendent then asked Rev. J. M. White to speak for us. who made a splendid speech on the progress and importance of Sunday school work. Then came the dinner, which was immense. The table was 180 f>*ci long, and was loaded as long as a piece would stick on. The crowd was very large for the place— supposed to be 500 persons. All seemed to enjoy themselves, except one young Indy, when she first got there; that was before she caught a beau. She remarked, • if the Lord would forgive her for com ing that time she would never come to this place any more.” But later in the duv, when a young man was with her, she said: “I am so glad I came; the peo ple are so kind to strangers.” Mr. Grice was along and took a photo of a portion of the crowd. We are glad to say that Kingston and Adairsville were both well represented. We are always glad to see such occasions come, so we can put ourselves outside of a splendid dinner. The day was too hot t > group together, so they scattered about in couples, some talking upon the topics of the day, and others talked, no doubt, upon a milder subject and gave pitch other looks that expressed more love than a common man could talk in a lifp time. The entertainment given by Misses Lizzie and Kate Harris last week is said bv E. R. Morton to be the best thing of the season, and he says he enjoyed him self beyond limit. Sorry I could not be there. Bob Bail. MCGUIRE’S CROSSING. This immediate vicinity was blessed with a copious shower Sunday night. Don’t despair, you less fortunate ones, for we are told “He sendeththe rain upon I he unjust as well as the just.” It was our good fortune to be one of the guests who attended the celebration of Miss Henrietta Jefferson’s fifteenth anniversary last Tuesday evening. Everything in the way of viands were prepared by her own hands in a deftly manner, and were relished by all who v ere present to partake. The presents, though not numerous, were handsome and valuable. May she live to thus cele brate anniversaries, and we be on hand. Pi passing over the ties en route to S ibbath school at Emerson, last Su: - and iy, we saw two halves of an opossum that had attempted to cross the track just ahead of some morning train. Trains on the W. & A. move too rapidly for ’possums. Mr. Stonewall Larey was up on a visit to his father’s, Maj. P. H. Larey, last Sunday. We were really glad to see Judge Jerry A.

Misses Sallie and Annie Hargis, of ; ugstou, who have been visiting here, have returned home. he revival that lias been progressing • Cassville M. E. church for ten days \\ dose to-night (Tuesday). Theear u it labors of the pastor and all "the working Christians of the community have been signally blessed. The results of meetings may be summed up thusly: The church has been warmed up; many of the Christians have determined on a higher walk with God; there have been a large number of bright conversions; back sliders have been reclaimed; a good num ber will join the church; and lastly, the love of all denominations for the pastor, Bro. White, has been greatly increased. Though he was always beloved by the people, he now has a place in their affec tions which he has never had before. He generally preaches love, mercy, long suf fering and kindness, but to those who can’t be reached in that way he preaches hell and damnation. The good that has been accomplished seems to be of a permanent nature. W. C. W. I M I RoN. Mrs. Everidgereturned home Saturday ’ after spending a week or so in Adairsville. E. I>.
