McGUIRE’S CROSSING. Mr. and Mrs Hollingshead and their and ‘lighter, Miss Mary, returned from a visit to Forsyth county last Monday evening. We hope our people will contribute liberally to Miss Lummie Jefferson as one of a committee to raise funds to purchase song books for the Baptist church at Emerson, Mr. J. A. Jefferson took in Salt Springs and the Southern Chautauqua last Sunday. Is much pleased with the place and particularly with Rev. T. Dewitt Ta linage. Messrs. Will and Walker Woolbright, of Atlanta, spent last Sunday with us. The dust is getting rather annoying to pedestrians on the highway and we are anxiously wishing a shower. Our people turn out en masse to the protracted meeting at the Baptist church at Emerson. Fodder pulling is now the order of the day with us, and our farmers are saving fodder whilst the sun shines. Mr. John and Miss Sallie Crow were over in our midst last Friday evening. We are ever glad to see them. Some of our neighbors are having good luck piscatorially with trot lines and baskets. We saw r two delegates to a religious meeting beat the conductor out of their fare not long since. The amount was small, but did they do right? People who go to church and pass their time writing notes, whispering, laughing and otherwise disturbing those who are unfortunately thrown near them, are sadly deficient in some of the principal characteristics of well bred citizens. They are out of their element and it would be better for the community if they would not disgrace the sanctuary with their presence “verbum sat sapiente.” • Mr. Jno. Marshall and family, of Cleve land, Term., is visiting the family of Jno. 11. McCay. KINGSTON. Kingston still dry and hot, rain needed badly, and crops are being damaged. Quite an interesting meeting was con ducted at the Methodist church last week by Rev. J. M. White, closed on Friday, and a protracted meeting is now being conducted at. the Baptist church by Rev. AY, H. Dyer and Rev. M. B. Tuggle. The Congregations are large and the people attentive, and the meeting bids fair to be a successful one. Miss Mary Puckett, of Stilesboro, and Mrs. Herring, of Cassville, were the guests of Rev. J. M. White last week. Mrs, J. E. Parrott, of Calhoun, is visit ing her sister, Airs. J. M. Davidson. Mr. J. E. Gullatt, Jr., and lady, of Atlanta, are visiting Rev. J. M. White at the parsonage. Mrs. Carrie Bowen, of Atlanta, alter a pleasant visit of several weeks with her uncle, J. G. Rogers, has returned to Atlanta. Miss Susie May sou returned home from Greensboro last Friday. 1 was pleased to meet my friend F. H. Harris chief engineer C., R. & C. R. R. in town a few days since, He was inspect ing the Rome railroad in company with Supervisor Hill. Mr. McKelvy and lady, of Cass Station, spent the day with their daughter, Airs. J. F. Hargis last Sunday. Mr. S. L. Bayless and lady took in Chattanooga and Lookout mountain on the 14th. Dr. 1L B. Headen, of Rome, preached a line sermon at the Baptist church Mon day night, and we are glad to learn that he will be with us on Tuesday and perhaps Wednesday. Mr. J. I). Rollins speaks of visiting relatives in South Carolina in a few days. Mr. Thos. V. Hargis is raking up the dog fennel straw on the commons and storing it away to make feather beds for his cows this winter. J. M. Davidson is limping around as gracefully as an old man with inflamma tory rheumatism. % Jackie, CASS STATION. Some time between Friday evening and Alonday morning some person or per sons, entered Wofford Academy and effected an entrance to the proffessors private desk by unscrewing the hinges on the outside and then prizing the lock off. They took therefrom several books, among which was Prof. Marshall’s ac count book, a lot of slate pencils, all the chalk that was in there, the professor’s call bell, they then left things in a terri ble “mess.” Not satisfied with this they poured out every bottle of ink in the house all over and among the books in the various desks. There is no reason why things should thus be, and it won’t be healthy for the rogues should they be apprehended. There is a clue, which is being followed by amateur detectives. Mr. J. F. Alays, of Jacksonville, Fla., is visiting his wife, who is spending the summer here with relatives. He is refugeeing from the yellow fever, which is prevalent in Jacksonville at present. Aliss Sallie Ramey, of Ac worth, spent several days with Air. Bracewell’s family within the past week. She attended the picnic at the cave Saturday, and added much to the pleasure of the occasion. During her short stay she made many friends, among whom there was a cer tain young fellow. He was so sorry to see her go. AVe hope she will come again soon. AVe noticed the pleasant physiognomy of “Crofton” in town Alonday evening. Airs. J. 1) Rawlins, of Chattanooga, is visiting Air. A\ r . N. McKelvy’s family. Air. Jackson and family, from near I Stone Mountain, visited Air. Bracewell’s I family within the past week. AVe anticipated a pleasant occasion for the picnic at Saltpetre cave Saturday, and our most sanguine exceptions were more than realized, we hoped for joyous incidents for the day, and each roseate hope has ended in a glorious reality. The day came in dark and gloomy, but soon the clouds began to disperse, and when the time for leaving home arrived the weather prospects were bright enough. By ten o’clock quite a crowd had congregated at the cave. With pine torches for lights we entered the subter ranean structure, to w ander am6ng the seemingly interminable marge of passa ges, and examine for our own satisfac tion this wonderful piece of nature’s ow n handiwork. Alter spending some time in this way we changed our line of direction and soon were once more on the earth’s surface. AVe were highly pleased with the cave, and those in the party who had never been there before voted it the grandest of nature’s architectural glories that they had ever seen. As it was now about noon we proceeded to the spring, which is about one mile distant in the direction of the river, where we intended to eat dinner and spend the evening. After our arrival at the spring and as soon as we were conveniently located, dinner was spread and eaten. It was good enough for the most fastidious epicurean, and clearly evinced the fact that the young ladies could prepare good eatables as well as look sweet. The evening was most delightfully spent in walking about viewing the scenery, all of which Is grand, picturesque and beautiful, and in sitting around chatting pleasantly (I doubt not that the subject of love was broached). Those of your readers who have been there know what a beautiful place that is. A gentle breeze is constantly stirring, the mountain air is pure and salubrious, the spring of water is as clear as crystal and refresh ingly cool; the same brook that waters the valley below murmers 'sweet music in your ears and invites you to enjoy yourself, the grove shields you from the piercing rays of the sun and causes you to experience a delicious coolness. As we sat at ease beneath those lofty pop lars and elms listening to the soft melody of the aerial songsters in the branches above, and as the surround ings added an irresistible bewitchingness to the fair ones, a thousand sweet sensa tions filled our soul. Things which are generally incident to such' occasions passed off, and thus time grew older; but, hold on—l must not forget to men tion the watermelons, for they consti tuted one of the most enjoyable features of the day. It was when they were cut that I made my “mash.” As the last rays of the evening sun seem to reluc tantly give way to the sable mantle of night, so did we ; a while before night, reluctantly leave the scenes of festivity and pleasure. On the memory pages of those who attended that picnic, Satur day, the 7th day of August, 1888, will stand out prominently as one of the happiest days in their existence. AV. C. W. EMERSON. Hot and dry. Eating watermelons seems to be the order of the day. Rev. Alf Buford is now carrying on a protracted meeting at the Baptist church. Miss Reed and brother, of Kennesaw, are visiting Mr. Davis’ family. Miss Sallie Stegall is now going to school to Airs. Harris, in your city. Mrs. Buford and Miss Ella Harris spent Sunday in Emerson. John and Virgil Jones spent Saturday and Sunday at the salt springs. Air. Hood, ot Halls, spent Friday night with friends here. Bill Corbin, of Borne, is up again. Aft-s. Keith, of Southern Georgia, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Dobbs. Sigma. HAUL’S MILLS. Airs. F. H. Harris and children are spending the summer at Capt. Morton’s. AVe are glad to see Tommie Kitchens out again after a severe attack of pneu monia. Quite a number of our people went down to the reunion last week. All ex cept one report a splendid time. I am told he returned with his back a little torn. He thought that he was not go ing to get to the table, so he attempted to crawl under the wire fence, and he was not recognized as an old soldier so some one jumped at him and caused a jump ing backward and a scratched back. Your reporter and J. B. H. Lumpkin had a most excellent time last Alonday evening. Two of Kingston’s most at tractive young ladies, Misses Florence Bruce and Lucy Hargis were among us on a visit to Mrs. AA\ A. Lumpkin, and we happened to be visiting there also. Airs. Lumpkin invited us out to a lot of cut watermelons, where we spread our selves to the good of our appetite. After this we accompanied them to Kingston. Miss Florence asked us to drive by her house, and she went in and brought out each couple an excellent waiter of fruits, jellies, cakes and other delicacies. AA’e then drove on and just at dusk we stop ped and shared the repast, which we all enjoyed most highly. If there is any tiling that will captivate me it is a pretty girl and something good to eat. From thence we went to church and heard a splendid sermon by Rev. R. B. Headden. May we enjoy many more such occasions. Bon Bail. PINJE LOG. Crop prospect never better. Getting ready for the camp meeting. Union meeting at Olivevine Baptist church next Saturday and Sunday. Bros. H. R. Maxwell and W. T. Ham by went to Best’s chapel last Saturday.

McCanless, who lives near Walesca, Cherokee county, lost his dwel ling house by fire last week. At a meeting of the Cedar Creek school board on the first Saturday of this month, the board unanimously voted the school to Prof. J. M. Boyd, now prin cipal of the Richard school, near this place. Our school at this place is in a thriv ing condition. Profs. Hamby and Erwin make a splendid team in the school room. Much success to them. Jew. FORD. The farmers are very much discouraged, there has been no rain and their crops are ruined. The protracted meetings have been go ing on here for three weeks, quite a num ber have joined the church, and we hope many more will enter into harvest before it is too late. Aliss Nettie Knight, ot Rome, is visiting her cousins, the Misses Dodds. Mr. and Mrs. 1L AI. Arnold returned home Sunday, from Taylorsville, where they went to attend the funeral of their sister Airs. R. Jones, who died Saturday. Aliss Ida Hanleiter, of Atlanta, is visit- Mrs. AV. AY.

There will be baptizing at Island Ford next Sunday morning at nine o’clock. AVonder why sombody is looking so sad. Guess its because he has’nt come. Alessrs. Joe Fink and Lester Stephenson are two of the most popular boys in our midst, so the girls say. The farmers are busy pulling fodder. Rev. Tuggle, will peeaeh at the Baptist church Saturday and Sunday. Slim Jim. DIED. Tn Bartow county, near Wofford’s cross road’s Baptist church—at her home; on July 12tli, 1888, Mrs. C. D. McEver, widow of Brice C. McEver, E~q.. in her 79th year. She was born in Chester field district, South Carolina, May Ist, 1810. Her early life up to fifteen years of age, was spent in Chesterfield; then with father, mother and sever al brothers and sisters, she moved to settling on Peachtree creek, in Fulton county, near where Atlanta was built. On January 1830, she was married to Brice McEver, of Gaines, ville, Hall county, and they lived in Gainesville until 1839, when they removed to Bartow county* and settled near the cross road’s church, where she resided up to the time of her death. She was a member of the Baptist church — made a profession of religion 50 years ago, and lias remained an humble follower of Christ ever since. She leaves 12 children—three sons nine daughters, all living, and one hundred grand children and great grandchildren survive her. Eleven of her children knelt around her dying bed while she breathed her last. In that solemn hour she spoke of the absent daughter, wishing she could see her face with the rest. She was a devoted mother—a kind, obliging neighbor, ever ready with a willing heart to relieve distress and to comfort the afflictions of her neighbors and friends. Her death was a calm, peaceful falling asleep in the arms of Jesus. Death had no sting for her. She had been afflicted for nine teen years. During these many years of suffer ing she was never heard to murmur, and in the deepest trial she said “The Lord’s will be done,’ not mine. She was stricken with typhoid fever—suffered great bodily pain for three weeks, and was con scious of approaching death. She called her child*oh around her, bade each one farewell, en treating them to meet her in that land of rest, to forever sing together glad hosannahs around the throne of God. Her Daughters.

Clover Bottom, Sullivan County, Tenn., June 18, 1887—Blood Balm Cos., Atlanta, Ga: Sir:—l have been thinking of writing to you for some time to let you know of the wonderful cure your B. B. B has affect ed on myself and daughter. She, a girl of 16 years, was taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I called on the very best doctors that the country could afford, and they tended on her for four years to no purpose. Her leg eot worse every year I used about 30 bottles of other medicine to no purpose. The doctors said*the only remedy left amputation. That we all was ODposed to I was in Knoxville the Bth of January, 1886, and while buying a bill of drugs called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs. Sanford, Chamberland & Cos. recommended the B.
