Mr. W. K. Tatum, of Louisville Ky., is with us. Mr. Rob’t. McCallurn has gone on . a visit home to Alpharetta. Dr. Ben Dudley has returned to New York, at which place he finishes his course in the medical college. Mr. T. L. MeCalluin attended the Baptist Association in Taylorsville. Miss Alice Heed is visiting friends in Stone Mountain and Decatur. Mr. Jno. Martin left Sunday for Chat tanooga on a visit. Miss Beau lah Smith, of Liberty, S. C., ife the guest of Mrs. It. D. Combs. Mr. A. Francis Elrod, of Lucky Bend, Ga., is visiting his brother. Among those reported as attendants at the Tabernacle services were Misses Estelle, Louellaand Inez Johnson,Misses Lizzie and Lilia Alexander; Mrs. Capt. Tutton and Misses Ilia Wood, Ella Penn and Miss Allen. We notice the gentle men as Messrs. YY . J. Alexander, H. M. Veach, Lawrence Luther, L. Guirn and G. M. Boyd. The finishing touch to the new Metho dist church is now under the brush of the artist, preparatory for its dedication next Sunday, and when the keys of this beautiful edifice is, with authority, hand ed the officers, it is a sense of congratu lation—that they have erected this build ing with promptness and have made it an ornament to their town and an ex ample full worthy of others to follow. A man named Garner and a magic lan tern played a full programme at the academy of music the other night with out a single encore. The exercises were opened with a prelude that would at tract the attention of thuuder. And almost shame the feats of agattlinggun, manufactured by the peanut gallery gods, with a shower of matches under their feet, timber rapped on the desks and two large bells ringing with a chorus of deafening yells. With all this the professor, through trembling and fear, covered the canvass with some fair pic tures. But if he had shown the picture of our town council bowing at the shrine of subjection and our marshal in sack cloth and ashes, because the town can not be controlled, would have been an appreciative picture. Adairsville can furnish some fair mate rial for a Romeo or Juliet, and occas ional Macbeth in an advanced stage. A note was found on the pavement the other day in which the authormade him self a hero by declaring to his girl the valuation of a platonic osculation. “And you wait until I am twenty-one!” Daddy or no daddy, “you wait until I am out of school, mammy or no mammy." Anyone that has any more iron ore to be sized up will please hand to the snake editor of this department —this reporter cannot deviate from the truth. Redman. ' TAYLOKsVILLE. Cotton is opening very fast and the farmers are very badly behind towards getting it out. We have been anticipat ing a very pleasant and lively time for the past three days. The Middle Cherokee Association met here last Friday with a full delegation. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. W. H. Cooper, of Cartersville, which was a very interesting one. After the sermon the crowd marched up to the beautiful grove near the depot, wheie a bountiful dinner was spread. The peo ple had heard some slight remarks made about them that they were not able to support the association. I guess that it was a good thing they heard it, lor alter that they did their best. Would state that everything passed off quietly and peaceftblv with some very fine sermons from different ministers. Several of the boys state that they had a very nice time with their girls during the association, but 1 am persua ded to believe that some of them rather got left. For instance, take Johnnie as he was coming towards the church with our music teacher and aifother very pretty young lady ns he wu:k. u down off the plank crossing and stepped around to get between the ladies but they locked arms and walked on as happy as if they were well pleased. Ah! Johnnie you was on the right side if you had known it. If you dou’t at first suc ceed, Johnnie, try try again. I think Robert was kinder left Sunday, too. If Taylorsville had just had more houses during the association it would nave looked like a city. The hotel has changed hands I think, or one has closed and another fellow has opened a double breastedjrestaurant. Clever R. H. Shaw is doing a good business. Dew Claws. H AUL’S MILL Joseph Barrette, Esq., has made sev eral improvements on his gin, and has started with good satisfaction. Turning land, picking cotton, making up sorghum, etc., is the order of the day. The Farmers’ Alliance is also creating some excitement. They have a pretty good crowd for a small place. Nearly everybody here turned out to the tabernacle meeting Sunday, and were well pleased with the preaching, the crowd, and your town in general. I met your noble correspondent, W. C. W., and felt just like I had met one of my brothers. Our summer visitors, feeling greatly improved, or rather benefitted from drinking our pure water and breathing our fresh air, have gone on their way rejoicing. Th*re is one exception I be lieve, H. Y. Neville, he is waiting for the yellow fever in Vicksburg to subside. One of our young men made his first trip to church with a girl the other night, and before returning he wanted to borrow a good knife, said “he was afraid he would meet a tramp and wished to protect his girl.” I’ll tell you young ladies he is the one to go with for pro tection. Bob Bail. LMhRhON. Miss Josie Seltzer, of Atlanta, Mr. and Mrs. McElroy and brother, of Norcross, Mr. and Mrs. Tilley, of Cave Spring, are the guests of Col. C. M. Jones. Mr. and Mrs. Hill, of Big Shanty, have been visiting relatives of this place. Messrs. E. D. and R. B. Stegall, of Chattanooga, spent part of last week with Mr. J. P. Stegall’s family. Mr. Tull and lady, from the North, are in our midst. Emerson was well represented at the tabernacle Sunday. Mr. Walter Gladden and bride, nee Miss Leo Stegall, were in our town last Sat urday. Sigma. HOLIVKK. The farmers were damaged a great deal by the recent rains, especially on the fodder line. Cotton picking will soon be in order, as it is opening very fast. Our clever John Crawford, of your city, was in our midst last week. Two of our prominent young men called on the young ladies last Sunday and hitched their horned horses some distance from the house. Hitch to the rack next time boys. Mr. Ed Dyar was around last week looking him up a school for the winter season. Think he was successful, as he has the promise of the Oak Hill school. The Rev. Mr. Sutherland delivered an address to the people around and about Oak Hill on last Sunday. Mr. Webb Covington was with us on last Sunday. Glad to see you Webb. Pink. McGUIKE’S CROSSING Ltist Saturday night about seven o'clock we bad the heaviest rain storm ever known in this vicinity. We had no rain gauge but if we had had it would have been worthless unless it had been a huge one. The little gullies were trans formed into creeks and swept away bridges that had never been touched be fore. We thought of Byron’s Childe Harold: m “Oh. night, And storm and darkness! ye are wondrous strong, Yet lovely in your strength, as is the light Of a dark eye in woman. For along From peak to peak the rattling crags among Leaps the live thunder.” Mrs. Monte Walker, her little daugh ter, May and Miss Qllie Starnes, from near Acworth, were up on a visit to their uncle, Mr. P. V. Hollingshead, last week, and took in the last days of the taber nacle meeting. Mr. Stonewall Larey, of Marietta, was up last week visiting his father and at tending the meeting, Preston Hollingshead is now working with Captain Ellison on this section of the W. & A. Railroad. Mrs. Holland, Mrs. Jefferson’s mother, is quite sick but as Dr. Young has been called we hope she will soon be up again. M iss Anna Woolbright, of Westmin ster, S. C., is spending a few days with the Misses Jefferson. A large oak tree was struck by light ning last Saturday night standing a few feet from Mr. S. K. Bennett's residence. To say the inmates were frightened is is putting it very mild. The old 15 puzze is beingrevived in our midst. We can’t tell yet who will be the first to be sent to the asylum. The ochre mines near the wagon bridge present a dilapidated appearance since the flood. Our roads are being worked. Mr. D. H. Dover’s little child is improv ing and is now considered out of danger. Miss Becky McGuire had a severe bil ious attack last week but is now able to be about. There is a certain youngster living near us that won’t allow the chickens to go to roost until he gets ready. There’s something in that “Marc” what we tell you. Next Tuesday will be the one hundredth day since the first katydid hollowed, and Wednesday we will have frost, says our weather prophet. Cotton picking nearly over. Our crop will be short. . Mome. CED VK CHEEK. There was a great deal of hail in this section on last Saturday night and the washing rain didfsome damage here. Prof. J. M. Boyd, of Pine Log, paid a flying visit to Cedar Spring last week. We are always glad to have him among us. He' smiles so sweetly and looks so lovely. We wish him a happy life. Mr. W. W. Hannah, of Cedar Creek, has been preparing hiscotttou gin and it is now ready for use. During the hail storm on last Satur day night the lightning struck a large tree near Mr. W. W. Hannah’s dwelling house and frightened his better half very much. Miss Kate Pickard, of Adairsville, visited friends and relatives near Folsom last week. She is a very handsome young lady. We hope she will corne again. The singing was very good on last Su nday evening, though there was not a, very large crowd out. Miss Sudie Burns was organist and rendered some of the most beautiful music it has been our pleasure to listen to in a long time. Mrs. W. 11. Blalock, of Folsom, is spending some weeks with her daughter, Mrs. Tandrurn, near Rome. We wish her a pleasant stay and a happy return home. Miss Sarah Blalock,• of Cedar Creek, has been very sick with sore throat, but she is very much better. Well, young ladies the boys are getting very tired waiting for you to leap, but it will soon be our time again and we will make it up. Handy Feet. KINGS ION. One night last week a young man from Greenville, S. C., that had been to Nashville, Tenn., got out of money and had to get off a freight train about mid night. He weut to the woods above the Baptist church, built a fire and made his bed of leaves and went to sffcep. It seems there was a negro man got off of the same train and followed him to his camp, and that man or some other person struck the white man several severe licks on his head. When he be came conscious he was on the mount an back of the church, and the same negro was with him and stated some person had been rocking them at their camp. He requested the negro to take him to a doctor. Dr. M. M. Green was found aud dressed his wounds, and while that was going on the good Samaritan negro skipped out. After the doctor had his head shaved and dressed his wounds he revived and told his name and said he wished to go to his mother in South Carolina. Kind friends furnished him a ticket to Atlanta, Most of our citizens have attended the Tabernacle services during the past week. One hundred and seventeen tickets was sold Sunday and our little burg looked lonesome after the party left. Cotton is coming in very fast now’. Mrs. Gaut, of Canton, has been visit ing her daughters, Mrs. M. B. Tuggle and Mrs. J. P. Lewis for a few weeks and left for home Monday morning. Mr. J. L. Davidson, now of Rome, spent Sunday with his parents. Jackie. Theodore M. Smith. Home Tribune. * Yesterday there passed from the som bre scenes of gloom and mournmg that pervade the city of Jacksonville, to the Heavenly City of light and joy, one of the noblest spirits that ever lived, labor ed and loved among his fellow men. Theodore M. Smith, four years ago, a beardless boy, was admitted to the bar at his home in Cartersville. A year later lie embraced the ministry of the Presby terian church. Fifteen months ago he was called to the pastorate of the East Jacksonville Presbyterian church. With in a year he had risen to stand among the very ablest and most eloquent min isters of the State. Yesterday he died, a martyr to his unselfish devotion to the people that he loved. Wherever the fever flourished thickest, wherever the suffer ing was greatest, wherever duty lay and humanity called, into the very jaws of death the brave young preacher went. With a zeal akin to heroism, a love wor thy of his calling, and an energy far beyond his physical strength, he visited, soothed, nursed, and tenderly served, day and night, like an angel of mercy, until, with his own vitality broken and spent, he fell an easy victim to the fear ful fever. Only a moment’s pause in the whirl of our thoughtless days to consider a life like this. No Red Cross knight ever died a nobler, more chivalrie death than this gallant young soldier of Christ, who, with fame and usefulness crystal clear before him, and life pulsing strong and high within his veins, freely and lovingly gave his life for men—even as his Master did. One death like this is worth a thousand arguments against the infidel. Peace to the ashes of this hero of the Cross! For Sale, Good milch cow with young calf. Satis faction guaranteed.
