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. 1). Lanier in the saw mill business at Lincoln, Ala., is visiting his many friends at this place. Dock ('unyus is. down on a few days visit at Stjlesboro. Mr. C. N. Patterson and lady arrived at Stilesboro yesterday from Alabama and will spend sometime. They have hosts of triends here who are always glad at their return. Mr. D. L. Colbert and lady are attend ing the Methodist protracted meeting at Brandons. Miss Ida Cunyus is visiting Miss Mary Puckett and attending the protracted meeting at Brandons. Mr Street Sproull is the most popular ladies’ man in our town and I am almost reedy to say 1 would set ’em up to that buggy if that would get Street out of our way. Messrs. Joseph Cannon and Levi Shaw are erecting a steam gin near the depot. Mr. Peter Hammonds, Jr., a popular Stilesboro young man, goes to Taylors ville this morning to assist Bob Shaw run his alliance store, and while we are sorry to see fiiend Pete leave us, we can t 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. Borneo. FO LSOM, Good crops; it is raining occasionally. Farmers are happy on the way, for cot ton is opening fast. Our protracted meeting closed out to day at Cedar Creek with ten baptized. tVe regret to hear of the illness of Mr. G. W. Hendrix. Hope he will recover soon. Also, Mrs. Wyatt, who has been confined to her bed for some time and don’t seem to l>e any better. The people have been very busy for the past week going to the campmeeting at Pine Log. We congratulate Miss Maggie Towers and Mr. George Mellow, who attended the caiupineeting Sunday. Miss Maggie is a darling little angel. Miss Olive Adcock and Mr. C. H. Pick ard attended the association over at Olivevine last, Friday. They had a love ly time eating watermelons, and also had a nice dinner prepared for them, and after dinner had sweet music from the organ. Messrs. E. C. Adcock and J. J. Murphy and son, Master Jimmie, attended the reunion at Dalton last Friday, and say they had a glorious time, and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. W. T. Stephens looks happy on the way coming back from the campmeeting Sunday. She says Willie is a good boy. Miss Nettie Fields has been visiting friends on Cedar Creek. We hope she will come again soon, for Hugh would be pleased to see her every Sunday. Dew Claws. KINGSTON. Rain, the beautiful rain. We had a fine shower last evening and everybody looks happy. Vegetation is smiling and we are free from the clouds of dust that have been flying for several weeks. How thankful we should be to the great Crea tor for his goodness to us. The protracted meeting at the Baptist church closed Sunday night and the services were very interesting. Some joined by experience and one by letter. We notice in town Mr. H. C. Cloud and lady, of Atlanta, at the Cloud house. Mis. Pendergrass and daughter, of .Jefferson, Ga., is visting her sister, Mrs. M. Y. Gillam. Mrs. W. H. Washington, of Seale, Ala., is visiting the family of Mr. X. H. Eddy, also Miss George, of Rome, is visiting the Misses Eddy, one mile above Kingston. Misses .Teane and Mamie Waring re turned home on the 20th after several months absence in New York. Mrs. W, H. Dyer, of Calhoun, attended the meeting here last week. Mrs. EmmaDyar, of Chattanooga, was visiting friends here a few days since. Jackie. ,H ALL’S MILL. Capt. F. H. Harris was among us this week. W. H. Hitchens is visiting relatives at Everett Springs this week. 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 him a good meeting. I regret very much that I will not get to report as often as I wish from our at tractive little place now, but I have rein 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. > MFRSON. Emsly Stegall, Jr., had the misfortune of having his arm dislocated, last Thurs day morning, from falling off a bicycle. Miss Minnie Gregg, of Marietta, is vis ing friends in our vicinity. Our protracted meeting closed Thurs day nigjo at the Baptist church. 1 here were no additions made, but we hope it has done a great deal of good. Mr. John Landrum, of Dalton, spent Sunday in Emerson. Emerson w ill pretty soon afford a livery stable. Uncle Emsly Stegall has repainted his house. The “bachelor's hall" has also been painted. Our little village was well represented at Harmony Grove last Sunday. Sigma. 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 church. Never before in a dozen years has the church been in a better spiritual condition. A great and glorious work is going on, and at each service the inter est increases. Miss Clifton Haines, from Gordon county, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Geo. Headden, at Cassville. Airs. Daniel, of Atlanta, is on a visit of several weeks at Bracewell’s. Misses Ella and Etta Gillam, two charming young ladies of Atlanta, are spending some timeat the beautiful home of Capt. R. R. Hargis. Miss Jennie Quillian has been visiting in Atlanta and Cartersville within the past week. Mrs. R. F. Taylor returned Friday from Cnattooga county, where she had been visiting relatives for a week. Her grandson, Willie Barry, accompanied her. Quite a number of young people en joyed a watermelon cutting at Air. Brace well’s Thursday evening. Such gather ings are always highly appreciated by this scribe. Rev. Jno. R. Speck, of Spring Place, was here Monday. Mr. J. F. Mays, who came up from Jacksonville last week as a refugeee from the yellow fever, has gone to Birming ham to accept a position offered him. Mrs. Forest Dyar, of Chattanooga, spent several days here last week visit ng relatives. Her husband came down and accompanied her home. The protracted meeting at Oak Grove closed Saturday. There were two addi tions to the church. Miss Mary Benson visited relatives at Adairsville and Kingston within the past week. “Bob Bail," you seem somewhat elated over the grand time you had with some young ladies a week or so ago. Some thing is the matter with Hannah when this critter don’t enjoy such occasions very often. w. c. \v. 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. Handy Feet. 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. Some of our people went to Austell to hear Dr. Talmage on Sunday. Misses Lula, Aiken and Harris, neices of Rev. Alford Buford, are visiting his family. Also, a young lady from At lanta. Mrs. Herring spent two days in King ston with the family of Bro. White. The young people were given a grape festival at J. C. Herring's; also enjoyed some nice melons. Thanks to the ever thoughtful kindness of Mr. Gibbons. Mrs. Best and daughter, Miss Allen, visited the families of Dr. Battle and J. L. I rick and attended the campmeeting. Mr. Albert Weems, from Oostanaula, came down and attended campmeeting a couple of days. Watt is trying to make a mash by driving a pair. Crofton. FORI). The protracted meetings have closed and we hardly know what to do with ourselves. 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 few days for Nannie, to visit her friend. Miss Lula Bridges. She will probably visit Rome before her return home. Mr. and Mrs. Black, after a very pleas ant visit to their daughter, Mrs. Sim Dodd, returned to their home in Alabama 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. McGUIRE’S CROSSING We had a splendid rain last Monday and everybody looks cheerful, Hogs continue -to die. Mr. McGuire has lost nearly all of his. Misses Lummie and Henrietta Jeffer son were all the representatives we had at Harmony Grove last Sunday, but we were well represented. The wind last Monday produced some fright among our old folks and children, and those families who possess storm pits used them for a few moments. Maj. Larey had a milch cow to com mit suicide last Monday by jumping off a bridge across a ditch and breaking her neck. Cotton picking will soon be in order as the fleecy staple has begun showing itself in quantities in some fields. Many wells failed to produce the usual supply of aqua pura within the past, few weeks, but the rain last Monday will probably set most of them right. “Will” was at the Captain's Sunday. The finest “Pearl” of the country belongs to our neighborhood. We have a little girl not eighteen months old that can sing four tunes cor rectly. Her name is Maggie Nina. Mome. i RY IT ONCE. 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 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.
