Sigma.
CASS STATION.
On Saturday, 11th inst., a party from
Cass will spend the day at Saltpetre
cave. A large number will go and a
most enjoyable time is anticipated. A
party from Cassville spent last Saturday
there. It is said they had a glorious
time. Your correspondent acknowledges
with thanks their invitation to join them,
and regrets exceedingly inability to do so.
Mrs. .J. A. Barry, of Atlanta, has been
visiting relatives here within the past
week.
The sad intelligence of the death of
Mrs. Fink McKelvy’s little daughter,
Nellie, which occurred in Chattanooga,
was received Saturday. Her remains
were brought down and interred in the
Carters ville cemetery.
We have had plenty of rain within the
past week. Everything that belongs to
the vegetable kingdom is in a flourishing
condition.
Col. Saxon, the efficient county school
commissioner, visited Prof. Marshall’s
school Monday.
That was indeed a highly interesting
article which “Mome,” your McGuire’s
Crossing correspondent, gave in last
week’s paper concerning the tragic death
of tliat opossum. It was so sad, and we
consider it a pity that the province of a
('ourant-American neighborhood corre
spondent embraces the noting of all
opossums and like animals who meet
their death at the hands of a cruel loco
motive. Here is mine: The other morn
ing as we walked alongside the railroad
track we were most horribly shocked by
the sight of the mangled remains of an
innocent frog, which had been crushed by
the cars.
Mr. Jim Braeewell represented the M.
E. church of (.’ass at the district confer
ence at Calhoun last week.
Ilev. Mr. Rice will begin a revival at
Oak Grove Baptist church next Sun
day. ' W. C. W.
GUA SS DALE.
Am really ashamed that our Dale was
not represented last week. We were at
tending our protracted meeting at Cass
ville, and going to both day and night
services, getting home between twelve
and one o’clock at night, leaving b.v
eight next morning, we really had no
time to write. Hope to do better in the
future. We had a real good meeting.
Several additions to the church and a
great many of the members were greatly
revived, in fact, the whole church was
greatly benefit ted.
Last Friday night we had one of the
heaviest showers of the season, accom
panied with very heavy thunder. Lands
were badly washed.
Miss Lizzie White, of Kingston, visited
Grassdale people generally. Everybody
was very much pleased with Miss Lizzie,
and if she was as favorably impressed
with our people it will not be very long
before she will repeat her visit. Miss
Lizzie was accompanied in her rounds by
Misses Indie Saxon and Alleeu Best.
Messrs. Crawford and Malone, two
young gentlemen from Calhoun, spent
several days with the family of Rev. P.
E. Hawkins. Since Miss Lula’s return
from Calhoun several young gents from
that town have been seen in Grassdale.
Rev. David Weems, from Arkansas,
visited his old homestead. They were
summoned to the death bed of Mrs.
Weem's mother. Had only been there a
few days when their sweet little babe was
taken away. So they were doubly af
cted.
M*-. Tom Pittard and Billie have gone
to Burke county to visit relatives. They
will be gone some time.
Dr. Battle was hurriedly called to see
Mr. Virgil Linn, who was prostrated by
heat while threshing.
Mr. Gibbons has as fine an upland
patch of melons as can be found any
where. Some of them are equal in size
to the best river melons. As to their
sweetness I can cheerfully testify, having
had the pleasure of testing several very
fine ones. On Wednesday last a large
crowd spent the evening at Mr. Gibbous*
very pleasantly in social conversation
and eating quite a number of very fine
melons. The unanimous verdict was
that the evening was a most delightful
one.
Will Battle, who has been with the
I drug house of Wikle <fc Cos. for some time,
I is at home taking a rest.
Mrs. Herring is attending the district
meeting at Calhoun, as a delegate from
the Ladies' Vlissionery Society, of Cass
vi 11**. Mr. H. was given his orders to
stay close at home and look after things,
but no sooner was she out of sight than
he began to hunt up a good time, and
has just been having a gay time gener
j ally, letting things look after themselves,
j Will straighten up a little before she re
turns. Croftox.
PINE LOG.
Cattle are dying in some sections.
Country melons m abundance.
Mr. E. Paris is our authority for the
statement that Mr. Jan. M. Mahan has
about one bale of cotton picked out.
The Pine Log delegates to the district
meeting report a pleasant time among
the hospitable people of Calhoun. The
meeting was pronounced to be a success,
and we hope its final results will be great
good for Calhoun.
Club No. 1 organized last week; J. W.
Dysert, general supervisor, M. M. Collins,
vice superintendent, A. AY. Head,.secre
tary, J. D. Cowart, umpire, business
and duty, pitching quoits.
Mr. J. C. Sanges, of Marietta, was here
on last Saturday night and addressed
the public on Hie subject of the organi
zation of K. of L. He succeeded in con
stituting a body at this place.
Next Monday has been agreed upon to
meet and work on the church grounds
and grave yard at Pine Log. Hope all
will feel interested and come out.
A lively company, led by Captain John
M. Moore, familiarly known as Captain
John Fitch, went out last week on a
hunting and fishing expedition. We
were informed that a few little fishes were
the extent of their success, and Capt.
Fitch eat them all and come home hun
gry.
The young men of the Pine Log Insti
tute now have a debating club which
meets every Tuesday evening. This is a
step in the right direction and we hope
that every young man will feel that he is
a part of that body. Jew.
KING-TON.
It becomes my painful duty to chroni
cle the death of Mrs. L. P. Gaines, at
midnight Saturday, August 4th. She
suffered for 22 days with typhoid fever.
She was well known in our community
and was greatly beloved by all. She
leaves a devoted husband and five chil
dren and many relatives and friends to
mourn her loss. The funeral services
were conducted at the Baptist church at
4 o'clock Sunday evening by Revs. Dyar
and Tuggle, and at 5 o’clock the last sad
rites were at the Kingston cemetery,
where our friend and neighbor was con
signed to the silent tomb. We tender
our warmest sympathies to the bereaved
ones.
Rev. J. M. White, pastor of the Metho
dist church, is holding a protracted
meeting at his church, which promises to
be a good meeting.
Our town was surprised at the sudden
disappearance of one Mrs. A. Davidson,
who stopped at the Cloud House several
days. She had three little children with
her and said they were her grand-chil
dren. She claimed to be from Sacramen
to, Cal., and was on her way to her old
home near Staunton, Ya. She repre
sented herself to be the widow of Col.
John Davidson, and that she was in very
easy circumstances, and left Kingston
to go to Rome to provide for some poor
relatives there, and was to have returned
in a few days. She went around Rome
with a real estate agent to buy a consid
erable amount of property for her grand
children and the family of Mr. John P.
Davidson. She left Rome to go to King
ston to pay her board bill of eleven dok
lars at the Cloud House, and one dollar
and fifty cents in change she borrowed
from J. M. Davidson. She did not come
by Kingston and failed to pay her board
bill and borrowed money in Rome. She
is a sharp swindler and it is to be hoped
she will be taken up for some of her
sharp practice. I trust this notice will
prevent others from being duped by her.
Sam Jackson, our barber, is putting up
a snug little house for a barber shop.
Jackie.
McGUIRE’S CROSSING.
We continue to have occasional show
ers.
Our farmers are losing their swine at a
earful rate. Mr. Jefferson is one of the
principal losers, having last week lost
several large porkers.
Mr. Webb Holland and wife were up on
a visit to his sister, Mrs. Jefferson, last
week. Mrs. Jefferson’s mother, Mrs.
Holland, came with them and will remain
here.
Pat Mansfield and his wife discovered
some commotion in a hen's nest, and
on investigation found a large snake
coiled up with the old hen and her brood.
Pat secured a hoe and severed his snake
ship in twain. For several minutes they
were amused watching the head half
fight the other piece which was kept up
with fury till death put an end to the
struggle.
Mrs. Ben Heath is still sick, but is im
proving slowly.
Mr. V. A. Heath, of Rockwood, Teini.,
is visiting his parents, and will take in
the reunion.
Mr. Charlie Adams w-as over to see his
uncle, Singleton McGuire, last week.
Our crop prospects are very promising.
Capt. Maddox's school roll shows two
score and ten in attendance daily.
Miss Henrietta Jefferson is contem
plating an early visit to Chattanooga.
Mr. I. A. Jefferson is running his ore
banks to their full capacity, but has ap
plications almost daily from men seek
ing employment.
Mr. Hollingshead will leave us This
year and move down on Henry Tumlin’s
farm. We are sorry to lose him and
hope Thos. M. Puckett will be fortunate
enough to rent his place to some other
good white man.
Look out boys! We are going to have
a wedding soon, and one of the attrac
tions of our place will be Mrs.
Miss Polly Nelson, of Rockwood,Tenn..
is visiting friends in our vicinity.
