CASS STATION. We have had plenty of rain during the past week. Mrs. P. It. I is, with her nephew, Dallas Thomas, visited Judge Brown’s family at Canton during the week. Prof. Marsh all closed his school Friday. He will now proceed to gather his crop. “Bob Bail,” your gracious invitation is thankfully received. I will endeavor to avail myself of the pleasure it offers sometime within the future. I wish to assure you of my distinguished consid eration. I shall not be satisfied until you and I meet. Messrs. B. F. Posey and J. 11. Gilreath will run the cotton gin at Cass this fall. Messrs. Braeewell and F. K., Walker will run sorghum mills this season. Miss Mary Benson left Cass Monday, school having closed Friday. She has gone to the home of her uncle, L. P. Gaines, at Kingston. Rev. Mr. Alday and wife, from Florida, arrived Monday. They will spend some time with I)r. Griffin’s family at Cass ville. We missed Bro. Alday during the revivals. Since my last letter the revival at the Baptist church at Cassville has closed It lasted twelve days and never in the scope of my memory has there been such a revival at that church. All denomina tions participated and shared in the blessings, which our common Lord show ered down. The work of grace pro gressed wonderfully, and it was an impos sibility for one to pass through that re vival without feeling the influence of the Spirit of God. Rev. Charlie W right, the pastor, preached with unremitting zeal until a few days before the revival ended, when Dr. Headden, of Rome, came over and rendered valuable service. The word was preached, the Spirit did its work, and “to as many as beleived, gave He the power to become the sons of God.’ About twenty were added to the church, nearly all on profession of faith. Miss Emma Stvpe, from near Augusta, who has been spending some time at Mr. F. R. Walker’s, returned last week. Mrs. Walker accompanied her and will be gone several weeks. F. R. looks very much like a bachelor now. Misses Ella and Etta Gillam, who have been speuding some time at (’apt. Har gis’ have returned to their home in Atlanta. Mrs. Abda Johnson leaves this week for Baltimore, Md., to visit relatives. Mrs. Captain Brown is expected home from Kentucky this week. She has been visiting relatives and friends. Cotton is opening rapidly and the in dications are that most of the crop will be gathered before cold weather. As some reports say it was me, I wish to correct them, and say, it was not me, it was mv brother. w. c. w. i M KKSON. Messrs. J. P. Stegall and G. W. Bar ber left Monday morning lor Milwaukee, Wis., where they go to take charge ol a mineral exhibit sent there by the Emer son Land Company. They will return by way of Cincinnati, where they will put the same exhibit on exhibition. They will be gone about four weeks. The Emerson Land Company in sink ing a well recently on their property struck a vein of very strong mineral water. They will have it analyzed at an early day. Will Corbin spent SiTaday with friends here. Prof. Farr will leave in a short while lor Ball Ground to take charge of the school at that place. We wish him success. The election for justice of peace and bailiffs in our town passed off very quietly last Saturday with the following results: For justice of peace, J. Y. Davis, for bailiffs, J. E. Goodson and W. A. Whitmore. Sigma. GKASSDALE, Our people cannot complain of having <mo rain. We have had showgvs every , day since Wednesday, and this Saturday ' is indeed a regular rainy day, and does look as if it might be general. For one month there has been a con tinous series of revival meetings going on around us at the different churches. Most of the services have been well at tended, and the people seem to be great ly interested. There lias been a great many additions' to the churches. The members have been generally revived and strengthened. For some time we have had most beautiful moonlight nights, so bright and lovely that the people could not stay away if they had been so inclined . Even as dark and un favorable as the nights have been this week the congregations have been re markable. Bro. Rice closed his meeting at Crow’s on Sunday morning. Bro. Hamby commenced his meeting at Best's Chapel on Sunday night. Bro. Hickman, from Tunnel Hill, has been assisting him all the week. Bros. Jackson and Bur gess, from Pine Log, were with him sev eral days. Uncle George Gilreath preached on Thursday morning. It has been a very interesting meeting. We missed the beaming countenance .of Father Lanier. For several years he lias assisted at Best’s, and we had hoped to have had him among us again this year. Hope he lias not forsaken us. Bro. Bu ford has been carrying on his meeting at Cross Roads since Saturday last. Bro. Tom Owens preached for him on Friday night. It was a very unfavorable night, still there was a good congregation and several penitents at the altar. Miss Mamie Dyer, who has been visit ing Miss Lula Hawkins, has returned to htr home at Calhoun. Mr. Tom Pittard has returned home ftoni visiting relatives in Burke and Oglethorpe counties. He brought with him Miss Anna Cox, of Burke, a neice of Mrs. Pittard. We are glad to have Miss Ann a am on g u s again. Mr. Sam Weems visited relatives at Oostanaula and Dalton. Rev. P. E. Hawkins, after several weeks in protracted meetings, is at home. Master Ecca Weems, after spending some time with the family of Mrs. Weems, has returned to his home in Atlanta. Little Maggie trick, who had been at tending campmeetiug, came running in and said, “mamma my goose has got re ligion, it is shouting.” The goose was running around, flapping its wings and taking a general play. Mr Dunk Henderson received a severe kick from a mule, and is hobbling around on crutches. No broken bones. Crofton. McGill UK’S CROSSING. Maj. P. H. Larey spent several days in Marietta last week. Messrs. Preston and Mitchell Holling shead, who have been on the sick list have both recovered. Miss Lummie Jefferson is visiting friends and relatives at Stilesboro. Mr. Johnson Dobbs, accompanied by a beautiful young lady, came up on the Rome express last Saturday and got off at our car shed (?). Very few of our citizens exercised the right of suffrage at the election for J. P. at Emerson last Saturday. The records have been examined and they are married, and have been for two months. Fulton county ordinary's office. Our young people will meet next Friday evening at ( apt. Maddox's residence to organize a social and reading club. Mrs. Holland, Mrs. Jefferson’s mother, was taken sick last Sunday, but we hope she will soon be up, as she was improv ing Tuesday morning. Candidates would do well in passing through this section to secure the good will of the Wheeler brothers, as they are a host at elections. Mrs. Maddox spent a couple of days with Capt. Dobbs’ family last week. Mrs. Jno. H.McCay is attending Fight ingtown camp meeting and visiting friends and relatives in Fannin county. Miss Fannie Dobbs spent last Thurs day and Friday with the family of Ben Heath. We will have lots of moving before Christmas. Nat less than six families will change homes for another yean. Gathering the fleecy staple is reducing the attendance on our Schools very ma terially. ’Possums are getting ripe and the sound of the huntsman's horn will soon be heard and we will begin to enjoy life anew. Blackberries and ’possums are great luxuries with we country folks, and we are so glad they don’t come together. Our people will attend the tabernacle meeting en masse. Arrangements for transportation are now being perfected, and with wagons and buggies we will roll in earii evening. The Cartersville boys are not seen on our avenues as of yore. Watt’s the mat ter, boys? Henry Massengale’s mother, from Cherokee, is spending some time with him and his family. Miss Smith, of Taylorsville, is spend ing some time with her uncle, F. M. Smith. Misses Ellen Darnell and Alice Pendly are on the sick list. Mome. PINK LOG. Last Saturday was justice court day at our place. Mr. Miller Erwin was down among us last Friday. Prof John Erwin paid a visit to the old folks at home Saturday and Sunday. Revs. C. C. Childers and H. G. B. Tur ner and others attended the association in Pickens county last week. We have about four weddings booked for this fall up to date. Come up, boys, and register, or girls either, for this is leap year. Prof. J. M. Boyd says his school has held up well for time of year. The school at this place is doing well, and we hope to see it continue so. Mr. Will Clark smiled upon the school here last Friday to the delight of—well we refrain. Our friend J. L. Vaughn, Esq., informs us that while plowing one day last week he killed two rattlesnakes four feet in length, and had nine rattles and a button. He says he narrowly escaped being bit ten by them. Mr. A. C. Shelton and family are on a visit this week among friends and rela tives at Walesca. The colored people of the Fail-view church paid fifty dollars on their new building last week. Mr. James Carson, of Alabama, and a citizen of this place, is visiting friends and relatives here. The meeting at Best’s chapel last week proved to be of much interest. Jew. CEDAR CREEK. Last Sunday was regular preaching day at Cedar Creek, but it rained so much there was none iu attendance. In the evening there was a good crowd of young folks met at Mr. W. H. Bla lock's and we had a very nice singing, with Miss Maggie Mosteller as organist; though it rains we boys will get to gether with the young ladies and have a nice time with them. There was one young man in our midst on last Sunday evening who was looking very sad. Wonder what was the matter? Miss Jennie Aycock, of Adaisville, is visiting relatives at Cedar Creek. She is wearing a happy smile again. Mi*. B. has come home. Miss Ella Dodd, of the seventeenth, and Miss Emma Blalock, of Folsom, visited friends at Cedar Springs last week. Miss Ella is a very nice young lady and made welcome here by her many friends. Crops are looking fine here. The fann ers will soon go to picking cotton in a hurry now. Mr. P. Luke and several other leaders in music will sing at Cedar Creek next Sunday. It seems that the girls in Cedar Creek are progressing very slowly, as this is leap year. I wish one young lady would make the start and come to see me; she would not get slighted. Handy Feet. .—: V ADAIRSVILLE A pretty good photograph ot afflicted Florida and the valuation of its dan gerous pestilence can be seen in many places, even here—fumigated mail pouches and its punctured contents, the aston isrhed passenger in colloquy with the health officer on board the train. An incident occurred a few days idnce at our depot that proves the Laud of Flow ers not an unpopular name here. Our furniture dealer had a shipment of cof fins made him, and they were noticed by some gentleman of higher latitude, who inquired their use. Upon being told that the coffins contained Florida folks, our inquiring friends folded their tents and silently, but in a hurry stole away. What might have been a serious ac cident, that culminated in only a genu ine fright to both parties, occurred last week a few miles from town. A voting man with a musical gift, of Atlanta, and a graceful little miss yet under school obligations in Baltimore, were enjoying a drive on the roads that intervene the clover blossomed hills and dales of Oothcaloga’s valley. While going down hill the horse threw his heels in the other direction, smashing in the dash board, then acting in such a way as to turn the buggy over, throwing its occupants out. After the young man failed to reef sail or port his holm he threw tip signals of dis- tress, which were promptly answered, finding neither party hurt. Though the fright of this young man was visible in letters written on the tips of hair, while the wonderful self-composure of the young lady was seen on the apple she was eating when rescued from the debris. Both parties have many friends who are more than glad to know that nothing more serious happened to them. Mr. Thos. Johnson pushes through the completion of his annex to his drug house. This brick house will be conven iently arranged inside for the grocery business. Among this improvement Mr. Johnson will serve high tea and lunch in a tastily gotten up apartment. Dr. Felton tilled the pulpit of the Meth odist church last Sunday in a logical discourse on “The child of God,” a sub ject clearly defined in the wonderful prov idence of God, which he so beautifully pictured to an attentive audience. The doctor can at any time command an au dience of a full number here. The riany friends of Dr. J. W. Bradley regret very much to know of his serious accident. A few nights ago while serving his profession in the gig, the wheel ran over a stump near the road, throwing the doctor out against the fence, break ing several ribs, lie was brought into town, where lie has the solicitude and care and attention of the home fireside. Under the watchfulness of his brother, Dr. Richard Bradley, we hope soon to see him up. A call meeting of every citizen who looks to the future educational welfare of his tow n is made for the loth next — to consider the inducements that can be offered for the establishment of the Ryal’s high school at this place. The social circles of the city met at the hotel last Tuesday night, where a delightful time was passed —from which a phantom party in their weird costume was selected, who entertained those not participating with the graceful revolu tions in the waltz under the restraints of a pantomime. Our young people are in debted to Mrs. A. L. Dearing for the in terest manifested in this pleasant occa sion. Among those we see on masque are Miss Meta Harden, Savannah; Mrs Jno Schley, Savannah ; Mrs H K Nicholson, Athens; Miss Eugenia Aycock, city; Miss Freeland Harkins, Chattanooga; Miss Minnie Bearden, city; Miss Ella Reed, city. Prominent among the attendants were: Misses Annie L teach, Maggie Anderson, Mary .Bebb, Ella and Emily Penn, Alice Reed, Mrs M Aycock, Mrs R I) Combs and family, Sirs A L Dealing, Mre L E Bearden. Messrs Alfred Bear ing Henry M Veach, Chas Freyer, Paul Bearing, Laurence Luther, Cannon, were the gentlemen who help make this occasion an enjoyable one. I,ad and Les sie spoke the contrasts of life behind the same fan, while those in mature years exchanged vegetable garden possibilities with their neighbor until the dial was consulted, which told the hour of sepa ration was near—the curtains were then drawn, leaving a merry party to make their homes ever mindful of the evening’s issue. FORD. The trustees and patrons met at the academy Saturday evening to select a teacher for the ensuing year. They did not decide who they would get, but want either Frof. Fulton, of Adairsville, or Prof. Ethridge, of Stilesboro. We are Very much in need of a teacher, and hope will succeed in obtaining one of the above named gentlemen. Prof. Fulton is a vary fine teacher, and' in every way qualified to teach the scliool, while Prof. Ethridge has taught seven consecutive years here, and is well known to the peo ple as a man qualified to till tin* place, i They have a inadeup eight hundred dol lars towards paying a teacher, and think will get about two hundred more. Messrs. Dean Owens, A. H. Morris, J. I). Craddock and Rev. E. Marling, ac companied by Mrs. J. I). Craddock, Misses Mollie Morris and Mollie Marling visited Nannie last week. They report as having a nice time while gone. Miss Nettie Knight returned to her home in Rome last week. Miss Nettie made many friends while here, and we hope to have her quite often among us. Mr. Will Woodruff and son. Master Frank, returned from Griffin Tuesday. Mr. J. B. Owens, of Rome, spent a few days here this week. Joe is quite popu lar here, and his visits are always hailed with gladness. Mr. Lester Stephenson and sister, Miss Mollie, were here Monday, the guest of “Slim Jim.” Rev. J. M. White, of Kingston, will preach at the Methodist church Sunday. Prayer meeting at the Baptist church every Wednesday night, and Sunday evening at the Methodist. . Siam Jim.
