Mr. I*. V. Hollingshead who has been
so seriously ill, we are glad to say is able
to be up.
Mi'. McGuire’s addition to his residence
is nearing completion; then look out —
at the windows,
Mrs. Georgia Dobbs was up to see her
parents. Mr and Mrs. Jefferson last
Tuesday.
It was our good fortune on last Sat
urday to be one of a select few who at
tended the fourteenth birthday dinner
of Miss Addie Chitwood at. her father's
residence in Emerson. To say that all
enjoyed themselves to their utmost
capacity gives no idea of the sumptuous
banquent and pleasure of the occasion,
May she live to celebrate many birth
days provided we are present to enjoy
the good eating.
A certain young lady in our vicinity
received a note from her fellow that
baffled the “school master.” The fellow
had to be sent for, to decipher it.
Sowing wheat is now the order of the
day with us.
Cotton picking about over, Sonic late
pickers will have to be gone over again,
Our reading club will meet at Mr. C. S.

Mr. Jno. Martin, now of Chattanooga,
has been to see us.
The many friends of our young M. D.,
J. P Bowdoin, will be pleased to know
the evidence of his prosperity in the At
lanta Medical College, by his election in
that institute to thechair of valedictorian
for the fall session.
Mi*s. Sarah Veach, who has been the
guest of St. Louis for the summer, spends
some time with her sister, Mrs. J. M,
Veach.
The railroad authorities have lengthen
ed the platform of the depot, neglecting
the interior, which commands the atten
tion of those without any taste, as being
in a bad way and is anything but a card
for the Kennesaw Route.
As good an almanac for the approach
ing Xmas is to see our good friend (who
is deprived of his eyesight) at George
Heeds store, who has a full stock of every
thing nice. Besides the latest imported
fireworks, some that will blow an “es
teemed contemporary” into the Kingdom
come, and then solace him with a box of
Angel food which the said lteed sells.
tVho does not remember Mr. A. T. Liv
ington? our good friend who use and to as
sociate among us, now numbered among
the dead. Mr. Livingston left us last
year, moving among his relatives in
Western North Carolina where he thought
thechangemight benefit a constitutional
disease, but this latitude had no effect
upon his system. He gradually grew
worse, suffering agonies until death re
lieved him at 4 o’clock, Oct. 6th, being
in his 70th year. We bow in recognition
over the loss of our reverend friend, who
childlike in disposition, moved among us
in a quiet way and left us rrith naught
against him. Adairsville offers a flower
that we may place it upon the resting
place of this gentleman and patriotic
citizen as our testimony of respect and
reverence.
We don’t know whether this immediate
section is blest with a musical talent or
not,-but our town,is blowing her own
horn without any other’s mouthpiece.
Our mayorfrom the highest pinnacle gave
a certain signal, and such a meeting at
the town hall was never seen before. This
gathering of brains and money was to
see what this burg could do towards in
ducing the el. (t. Ryals school to stop
rightjhere. At this meeting stock bidding
went uncontrolled, generosity knew no
bounds until $6,,500 was down in black
and white, then the lateness of the;
hour prevented a futherance. The bal
ance will be made up this week. Besides
this cash subscription, we give as much
hind as the school wishes, dirt that would
t
fertilize any other soil outside of here.
We are more than anxious to have the
Ityals school, and with its co-operation
promise our full support. At the last
meeting of our citizens, the following
committee were appointed to confer with
the officers of the Middle Cherokee Asso
ciation which meets at Calhoun, Ga.,

home in Indiana.
Several young men and young ladies
of your town spent Sunday afternoon at
Mr. J. P. Stegalls, Sigma.
cash Station.
Rev, Mr. White preached here Sunday
evening to a good congregation. His
sermon was a good one, certainly. Text:
John 3:6. One of the very best sermons
that we ever heard was the oue that Bro.
White preached at Cassville Sunday
morning. His subject was the develop
ment of Christian character, and it was
undoubtedly the best sermon on that
subject that we ever listened to. We
shall all be very glad if Bro. White is re
turned to Kingston circuit.
Rev. 11. F. Taylor filled his appoint
ment at Cohutta, Whitfield county, Sun
day.
Gus Quillian visited relatives at Cass
Sunday.
Lee Garwood was here also.
Rev. J, M. White spent Friday at Mr.
Quillian’s.
Last Thursday night your correspon
dent, in company with a select crowd,
went ’possum hunting. It would not
take the dogs long to “tree,” but they
would generally be a quarter of a mile
from us. The fun would be supreme
when the crowd started off in a go-as
you please race for the dogs down an
almost perpendicular descent, sometimes
it being several hundred yards to the
foot of a hill. Charley Wheeler, and
probably one other, were the only ones
who maintained then-equilibrium. ‘‘Col.”
Quillian would get astraddle a sapling
and go straight down into the darkness
below-, balancing himself with his short
legs. Others would tumble over logs,
ride bushes, pick themselves up in brush
heaps, and then finally get there all the
same. We spent the night in the busi
ness and canglit five opossums. I can
truthfully say that Charley Wheeler’s
dog is the best ’possum dog in this com
munity; that we all enjoyed ourselves
immensely; that we all had “invites” but
one poor fellow, and he “guessed it was
an oversight.”
Miss Carrie Hoss is spending the week
in Cartersville.
Mis. Wilson, who has been spending
some time with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
\V. X. McKelvy, has returned to Chat
tanooga.
I was at Cassville, as usual, Sunday
aud thought I would spot “Sam Sly”
and give him a fraternal shake of the
hand; but everybody I accosted seqmed
to know nothing about him. It seemed
as if there were others who were equally
as anxious as I to locate him; and after
a number had done their level best
searching diligently he couldn’t be
“spotted.” Curiosity is on tiptoe, and
several Gassvillians have told me that
there wasn’t a single person in town
that could tell anything whatever about
him, and they asked me to earnestly urge
him to disclose himself, and let au
anxious populace know who he is.
“Sam,” you can’t hold out at this long;
we are bound to have you; we are going

CASSVILLE.
Pretty weather this week and crops
are being gathered fast.
Bro, White filled his appointment here
Sunday, and preached a grand sermon
to a large congregation. Four new
members were received into the church
after preaching. The ' the sacrament of
the Lord’s supper was administered.
Rev. Mr. Allday and lady are at Dr.
Griffin’s. The doctor’s father, from Gor
don county, has been with him for sev
eral weeks.
Miss Lena Brookshire visited relatives
here during the past, week.
We have two Sunday Schools at Cass
ville. Roth are in good condition. We
wish them both success. We won't say
which one is graced by our presence each
Sunday morning.
A number of our boys are dead in love
with their sweethearts. Eugene loves a
certain girl so hard that lie even looks
love.
There will be singing at the Baptist
church Sunday evening. “Sara Sly” will
be there, 1). V.
Our prayer meeting is well attended,
but not as well as it should be. Come
(flit and hear good talks from Brethren
Myers, Cliuun, Crawford and others.
And then there’s the singing; it is one of
the most enjoyablefeaiures.
We think it necessary to make a few
personal remarks. The question you
hear in Cassville every day is, “Who is
‘Sam Sly?’ ” He is talked about around
the fire side in the family circle, in the
stores and shops he is the topie of con
versation; crowds congregate on the
street corners and “cuss” and discuss
him, but all in vain; the more inquiries
there are the deeper the mystery gets. I
cau enlighten the anxious ones this
much: “Sam Sly” is a human being.
His father and mother were named Adam
and Eve.
“Redmond” has the gaudy style,
Rut “Jackie” isn’t to blame;
“Sam Sly” has no style at all,
Rut he “gets there” just the same.
Sam Sia,
H A.JLL’S MILL*
Pretty cold weather for baptizing, but
IJev. C. E. Sugart put one under Sun
day, after which he preached to a good
congregation.
The farmers are busy picking their*
fleecy staple and turning land.
We are sorry to say that Mrs. Ed
wards had a stroke of paralysis last
week, but is some better at this wFting.
We hope for her a speedy recovery.
Dame Rumor has it that we will have
two marriages this winter. I am told
that there are splendid indications of one
especially, vii: The girl’s father has been
borrowing a quilting frame to have a
quilting, and the young mail’s brother
was seen a few days ago driving up the
geese to be picked, and there are other
indications, but this is enough to con
vince us.
Your reporter had the pleasure of at
tending a party at Mr. Beasley’s Friday
night, gotten up by Misses Emma and
Kate, as the first anniversary^of their
father's marriage. We had a most de
lightful time after we got there, but got
lost on the way and wound around some
time before finding our way out.
Preaching next Sunday evening at
three o’clock by Rev. J. M. White.
Joe Barrett is doing splendid busi
ness this fall ginning. Bon Bail.
