ROUND ABOUT IN BARTOW. Various Happenings in the Sever • al Neighborhoods 1 (’arefully and Tersely for Courant- Ainericiin Rearters by Our Uliq nitoiiM Reporter*. FM KRSON. Hot! After spending several weeks with her mother, Mrs. Dobbs returned to her home in Atl mta, much improved in health. Will Henderson, of Stilesboro, visited our village this week, and like all other voung men fell in love with some of our young ladies. Messrs. H. Thomas, of Pahlonega, and S : luov Stegall, of Marble City, are the guests of Mr. Stegall. Cnde Emsly Stegall spent Monday in Atlanta. Mr. McElroy, of Norcross, spent Sun day with friends here. Mrs. I)r. Felton and son, Howard, spent one day last week with Mrs. C. M. Jones. Mr. Flemister, ofTunnell Hill, is spend ing a few weeks with Mr. Bowman. 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. Mome.
