STILESHOItO.
Cool weather. We tliink it surely must
have hailed in some parts yesterday.
However, the refreshing little rain and
change in the weather is quite an agreea
ble change and we are all enjoying it
immensely, and I hope thankfully. Al
though it did look like our crops were
ruined.
Mr. Tom McDonald, formerly of Stiles
boro but now with Messrs. J. C. and J.

Mr. Peter Hammonds, Jr., a popular
Stilesboro young man, goes to Taylors

hell) envy him, too. From all reports
he and Bob will not only have every
thing their own way in the mercantile
trade —as Mr. Dorsey is going, to leave
we hear—but with girls also. They say
a feller will have to grow pretty tall to
get by that pair—at any rate he would
have to be right long legged to straddle
them. However, Homer ai’nt gone no
where, and (logged if we care it he does
bother them a little.
Though to go to that place to find more’u two
pretty girls,
1 believe to my soul you would fall,
But dinged if ther’ ain’t some to beat the world
What goes ther’ utter ther mail.

Rain, the beautiful rain. We had a fine

thankful we should be to the great Crea
tor for his goodness to us.

Mr. J. M. Copp lost his corn crib, about
40 or 50 bushels of corn, wagon load of
oats, and other plunder by tire last week,
caused by his little daughter playing
with matches.
Your reporter and a goodly number
from here went to Cassville last week to
the barbecue. We all enjoyed ourselves
most highly. Three of our couples must
have been very much carried away with
each other, or something, when they got
ready to leave instead of coming back
this way they went out the Canton road
several miles until the roads forked.
They then stopped and disputed with the
sign board some time, but after some
time the oldest one told them that they
were wrong and would go back. They
say “Cassville is turned ’round anyway.’.’
The Cassville people deserve great credit
for their hospitality, and the manner in
which everything was carried on, but I
will not say any more, as W. C. W. was
on hand.
Rev. J. M. White will begin his pro
tracted meeting here Sunday. We wish

tered Capt. Fulton’s school, of Adairs
ville, but will let you hear from us as
often as I can. 1 have had a very pleas
ant time, indeed, during my vacation
visiting the surrounding towns and
country. I am more especially carried
away with Kingston and her belles. I
am sorry to say I never was very favora
bly impressed with Kingston until this
summer, but 1 now have the same opin
ion of it as J. B. H. Lumpkin has. 1
gave his opinion of it sometime since,
and you can gather from his visits what
he thinks of it; but, Mr. Editor,the most
of it all is tl*> subject that so completely
smashed my heart I could never soap
up enough courage to meet. lam now
henceforth and forever in favor of King
ston. The young v>eople from there are
expecting to picnic at Barnesley’s Satur
day. I know a better behaved crowd
will never be on the grounds; it is bound
to be a success, because Miss Florence
Bruce is at the head of it.
I found near Kingston on a high bluff
this week a rock, with the inscription cut
on it, “Bob Bail,” May 18th, 1888, Poor
boy.—G.” I wonder what could have
been the carver's motives. I have the
rock at home. __ Bon Bail.

CASS STATION.
A good many from here attended the
camp meeting at Pine Log Sunday.
The Cassville Baptist and Methodist
Sunday schools met and enjoyed the day
together in a splendid picnic
Thursday. The place where they met
was the grove at the South side of town,
and no better place could have been
selected. Several hundred pounds of
mutton and pork were barbecued on the
grounds. It was well prepared and
cooked thoroughly. The dinner was
excellent, a large crowd was on hand,
all seemed to enjoy themselves immensely
and the day is one that will long be re
membered by all that were there.
Rev. Charlie Wright is conducting a
protracted meeting at Cassville Baptist

very often.

CEDAR CREEK.
The protracted meeting going on here
and at Bethlehem has done wonderful
work. The truth has been revealed to
every heart in this community and we
hope all that have confessed Christ and
made their start to lollovv him will hold
out faithfully to the end. for the Lord
hath said, “I have no pride in them that
turn back." There were eleven that put
on Christ in baptism at Cedar Creek.
This good work has been carried on by
the servants of the Lord, Rev. P. E.
Hawkins and Rev. A. S. Tatum, from
Florida.
Quite a crowd of Cedar Creek young
people attended the camp meeting at
Pine Log on last Sunday. It was
enjoyed by all, though it was very dusty.
Crops are looking fine but our recent
rain w ill make them look much better.
The Cedar Creek yortng men are going
to organize what is called the young
men's prayer meeting. We want every
body to go regularly. Now young ladies
if you want a good man for your com
panion come to our prayer meeting and
watch, that is the place for young ladies
to go. If it were not for the iair sex
where w ould the young men be? It is the
ladies that make us what we are, and if
young ladies would go with no young
men, only those who are gentlemanly
and worthy of a young lady's company,
our country would be better, and the
young men would be better on account
of the fair sex. For we enjoy the com
pany of a fair young lady much better
than that of our own sex.

GRASSDALB.
Oh! the dust; the dust, is the general
exclamation. We ouyjfit not to grumb< 0
for this is the first dusty spell we have
had this season.
Billie Pittard h*as returned from Burke
county, where he went to look around
for a home. He comes back with not as
favorable opinion of the couutry as he
had at a former visit. He returns better
satisfied with old Bartow, and especially
Grassdale.
Mr. Will Young, of your town, spent a
couple of days with Will Battle just
before his leave for Rome. This was his
first visit among our people, and he ex
pressed himself as being so favorably im
pressed and having so pleasant a time
that he intended to repeat it at the first
opportunity. We hope so ;• I can assure
him of always receiving a hearty wel
come.
The young people were given a water
melon cutting and ice cream at Mr. Gib
bons’. This was to celebrate the birth
days of Misses Georgia Gibbons and
Mary Battle. First came watermelons
in abundance, and such fine ones as only
can be raised on upland by the melon
raiser of upper Grassdale, Mr. Gibbons.
After doing their very best to devour all
he had, and not being near successful,
they retired to the parlor, where some
splendid music was listened to. In a
short time all were summoned to par
take of most delicious and well frozen
ice cream and cake. At a late hour all
left, expressing themselves as having had
a splendid time, and wishing for their
entertainers many happy returns, espe
cially if celebrated in the same way.
Miss Mamie Dyer, from Calhoun, spent
the week with the Misses Hawkins.
It is said that it takes two mules for
Mrs. Pittard. She is trying to not let
Mr. Pittard have a better time t) brag
of than she when he gets home. That is
sensible. I believe in honors being easy.
Mr. John Gibbons, from Rome, came
up after his family, who had been visiting
his relatives. We were sorry that his
business was such as to demand his im
mediate return.
Miss Nellie Ohmburg, from Rome, came
up with Mr. John Gibbons. She spent
several days among her many friends.
Miss Nellie taught two sessions at Iron
ville, consequently she has many friends
who are always glad to see her.

Miss Mary Waldrup, of Stilesboro, is
visiting her cousin, Miss Mollie Morris.
Mr. Lou Tippiu and sister, Miss Ida, of
Kingston, spent Sunday here, the guests
of the Misses Harling.
So far, leap year has been a failure at
this place. Wonder what’s the cause?
Our girls are lovely, and we boys are
beautiful. Guess it’s the short crops
that is keeping them back.
Mr. J. J. Arnold, of Mill Point, N. C.,
will doubtless visit here soon, the guest
of “Slim Jim.” He comes with a view of
locating in our midst.
It is said that one of our sweetest
voung ladies contemplates making her
home in the'gold regions of California.
Miss Minnie Lee Arnold will leave in a

visit Rome before her return home.

ant visit to their daughter, Mrs. Sim

Tuesday.
We sympathize very much with Mr.
Kerby, as his better half is away.
Mr. and Mrs. Col. Isbell visited Dr.
Beasley, of Stilesboro, last week.
Mr. Benton Owens seems to be quite
popular among the young ladies, from
the lovely boxes of flowers that come to
this office for him.
Mr. T. J. Owens, near your city, was in
our midst Monday.
Mrs. Corinne Craddock has been quite
sick for several days, but is convalescing.
The many friends of Mr. J. B. Owens,
of Rome, will be very sorry to learn of
his ill health, and hope he will soon be
entirely well.
Wonder how somebody likes dump
lings?
We return many thanks for the pres
ent. It is highly appreciated.
Slim Jim.

To the mm who has tried every other
remedy for Blood Poisons, we commend
the following experience of a well known
woman.
SHE HAD TRIED EVERYTHIG ELSE.
Clover Bottom, Sullivan County, Tenn.,
dune 18, 1887 —Blood Balm Cos., Atlanta,
Ga: Sir: —I 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 lxer for four years to no
purpose. Her leg got 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
opposed 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. B. B. I purchased
one half dozen bottles, and to my utter
surprise after using three or four bottles
my gill’s leg was entirely healed. I also
had a very ugly running sore on the calf
of my leg and one bottle cured it, after
having tried all other remedies I wish
you much sucess, and I do hope that all
snffering humanity may hear and believe
in the only true blood purifier. I have
tried three or four other purifiers, but the
B. B B is the only one that ever did me
or mine any good. You can use my
name if you wish lam well known in
this and Washington county, also all over
Virginia. 11. S. Elsom.
BLOOD TAINT FROM BIRTH.
Boonville, ind., January 25, 1887
I shall ever praise the day that you gen
tlemen were born, and shall bless the day
that your medicine was known to me. I
had blood poison from birth, and so much
so that all the doctors of my town said I
would be crippled for li e. They said
I would lose my lower limb. I could not
stand in my class to recite my lessons,
eleven bottles of your Balm cured me
sound and well You can use my name
as you see fit. In my case, there were
knots on my shinbones as large as a hen s
egg-

The Constitution stands, as it has alwa; -
stood, high in the confidence of democratic lead
