KINGSTON.
I ask the sympathies of the Courant-
Amkuican stalT and your numerous read
ers, as lam sorely afflicted. Have been
confined to my room for a week, and l
am unable to get out to get up dots, and
can only report what I can hear.
Miss Belle Bayless has returned from a
pleasant visit to friends in St. Louis, Mo.
.1. L. Davidson is assisting- his father
at the depot.
.J. 1). Rollins has resigned as telegraph
operator and assistant agent at King
ston, and Mr. S. I. Sheats has been ap
pointed in his place. Mr. Rollins has
been associated with J. M. Davidson,
agent, for IB years, and he was loth to
give him up, but as it was his desire to
resign, we consider Mr. Sheats a worthy
and competent young man to take his
place, and feel confident he will give entire
satisfaction to all parties concerned.
We notice Mr. Win. F. Crane and wife,
and Nlr. Dowdy, from Cherokee county,
Georgia, at J, M. Davidson’s enroute to
Texas.
Rev. J. M. White filled his appointment
Sunday morning and night at the Meth
odist church. Your reporter was not
able to attend. It was his last sermon
for this year, as the annual conference
meets in this month or the first of Decem
ber. Mr. White is very popular in the
Kingston circuit, and his people would
be glad if he was returned to them.
('apt. A. F. Woolly and lady, of Rome,
attended services at the Methodist church
yesterday. They continue their member
ship with the Kingston church as their
beautiful home is near Kingston, and
they consider their sojourn in Rome only
for a few years.
If any one should discover a bright
smile all over Mr. J. I), Rogers’ facp, ask
him the cause and he will be proud to
tell you.
We feel satisfied that Hon. Judsou C.
Clements will again represent the th
district in Congress.
I fear 1 will not be able to get to the
polls unless some kind friend will volun
teer to come after me and take me in a
plueton or dog cart. I can perhaps find
out my standing in town by the con
veyance. Jackie.
EUHARJLKE.
Cotton picking' will soon be over.
Wheat sowing is the order of the day.
The farmers are going to try to make
the farm a self-sustaining concern. A
step in the right direction we think;
would that old Bartow would fall into
line.
Mrs. Vanmeter and her brother Lee,
spent the day at I)r. Calhoun’s Friday.
The EuharleeFarmers’ Club met at Dr.
Calhoun’s last Saturday. Subject for
discussion on that occasion, “Farmer’s
Alliance.” Speeches from T. K. Ham
mond, It. H. Dodd and others, all agree
ing that it is a move in the right direc
tion. We cannot leave the club without
referring to the splendid dinner on that
occasion. To Mrs. Calhoun and daugh
ters, be the*praise for such a dinner. I
think Bro’s. Fink and J. Dodd will bear
me out in the above statement from the
way they seemed to enjoy it.
Stock law passed in this the 851st dis
trict G. M., by 20 votes majority. We
understood that a certain fellow came up
from Alabama to vote for fence. We
can not think that, do you Miss Ida?
Kev James Mcßridepreaened a splendid
sermon at the Baptist church Sunday.
He has been called to serve this church
anotheryear. We think the church made
a wise choice.
Ilev. E. Harling made a splendid talk
1 ist Saturday. When it comes to moral
questions, you will find him to be on the
nglit side. He declared himself for Fisk
for President. We wish every man in
B irtow county was like Bro. Harling on
h * whisky question. Ki-Sek.
ADAIRHVIIXK.
The sway of the clothes line under the
ssure of different things, and the wash
woman with sleeves adjusted, nods an
to the first of the week.
We voice the wishes and sentiments of
I our entire village in calling the attention
' of the proper authorities of the AY. & A.
railroad to the needs of accommoda
tions for both the employes and travel
ing public in the depot here, more room
iis needed. As it is, the space allotted is
cramped by the necessities of the depot
agent and the telegraph operator. Even
with ali the ingenuity and economy prac
ticed by these faithful servants to make
room, they are put to annoyance as
well as inconvenience. A small sum
would remedy this evil and cause to be
created a better opinion of the road.
Capt. T. M. Fulton closes his school
next Friday, and the average scholar
doth now map out his vacation tour,
while the blue back spelling book and
slate lie on the top shelf. Friday night
Capt. Fulton remembers his scholars
and many friends with an entertainment
in which he begs the presence of everyone.
He will open his school next January, as
he closes it in November, with a goodly
number of scholars.
“The Farmers’ Alliance Store” is read
in bold letters over the door of Col. Jno.
Gray, who is doing an immense business.
Religious services are being conducted
at the Baptist church by Rev. Mr.
Cooper, who is devoted to the cause of
religion, and whose energy is marked by
his efforts in the pulpit in bringing the
the wanderer home. Redmond.
CASSYILUE.
The singing Sunday evening was well
attended. There were several present
who were visitors in our midst. Cassville
is justly proud of one thing, and that is
her good singers. These Sabbath even
ing singings, when properly conducted,
are productive of real good. Our heart
swells within us sometimes when we hear
those sweet voices ringing in the chorus
of some melodous song, which sends up
praises unto our Heavenly Father, and
our thoughts are instinctively turned
to contemplating the glorious realities
of the better land when we see those
whose faces are aglow with a peculiar
radiance which tells us that they are lit
lip by a divinelight, and that when those
Christian souls bid farewell to the scenes
of this earthly existence they shall par
ticipate in the joys that never end in the
eternal city of God.
Mr. Ed Redwine, after visiting relatives
and friends here has returned to his
home in Powellsville, Ga.
Miss Haines, from Gordon county, is
visiting relatives in town.
Misses Tempie and Hattie Land and
Gertie Chuiin left Saturday to visit rela
tives at Jackson, Ga.
It would not have taken a big effort
for some who were at the singing Sun
day evening to have behaved themselves
in a manner more becoming to those
who attend sacred worship.
Prof. Kiuser, of Sweetwater, Team,
will have charge of the school at this
place next year.
\Ye will deal gently with “AAR C. AY.”
this time, but don’t want the offence
repeated. AA’hen it comes his time to
“finger” in the pie we will inform him,
but until we do so it will not be his put

ladies of Cross Roads Baptist church
will give an oyster supper at the resi
dence of Mr. Sam Pittard’s for the bene
fit of their church. To those who have
been present at the entertainments given
by these ladies it is useless to say any
thing, they will surely be there, and those

only for their enjoyment and gratifica

new winter suits, and we boys can hardly

He Was Simply Reflecting.
A man stood waiting on the corner of
Woodward avenue and Sproat street yes
terday when a grocer’s wagon came up
and the driver delivered some goods at a
house While he was gone the horse took
fright and started off, and as he came
out and looked around he asked of the
lounger
“Did you see my rig?”
“1 saw you drive up here!"
“But the horse and wagon are gone.”
“Yes. ”
“Did they run away?”
“I am not sure, but I think they did.”
“Didn’t you see ’em go?”
“Why, yes, I suppose so. ”
“And you made no effort to stop the
horse?”
“I don’t remember that I did ”
“Well, you are a mighty mean man!”
“Am I? Don’t do me an injustice, sir.
Fact is. I was buried in reflection and
didu’t take notice of anything Man back
here offered me thirty cents to bring ia a
ton of coal, and I was figuring on how 1
could sublet the job and make a quarter
out of it Sorry, sir, but we all have our
reflective moments.”—Detroit Free Press
Should Recognize the Adornments.
I hope people will not become perfect.
I hope there will always be weaknesses
for us to smile at and sorrows for us to
sympathize over. Weaknesses are the
humor, the *‘badinage” of the Creator,
and a perfect man is often a rather dull
sermon. Now, madam, you are 50 years
old, you have daughters who are mothers
and sons who are fathers, and yet you
take your little peep in the glass and fix
your curls as you used to do thirty years
ago, as you will do. I sincerely hope,
thirty years from now. It is pretty, it is
agreeable, is human and a compliment to
the Creator that you should recognize the
adornments he has placed within your
reach.
You, sir, you ought to be taken home
and fixed up. You are 50 years old, and
your shirt front is all spotted, your
waistcoat is not buttoned, your necktie is
away round at the back of your head and
your coat is covered with dust. Go home
and put on a clean shirt and go down to
the tailor’s and order a suit of clothes
that will fit you, and get your beard
trimmed and look like a thing of taste if
you cant’t be a thing of beauty. I think
many men associate independence with
dirt and think they would be losing some
of their manliness if they wore decent
clothes. But 1 don’t want to reform those
people. Well, I might wear better clothes
myself, but that tailors have to pay rent
and other little expenses. —San Francisco
Chronicle “Undertones.”
In tlie Exposition Gallery.
Said an old time resident of Chicago not
long ago: “I have attended the exposi
tion year after year since the first open
ing. During the first two or three years
I used to go regularly and make one lap
around the gallery, but until the other
day I had not set foot in the exposition
gallery for many moons. After this I
shall never miss the trip, as it is well
worth a visit. It is the territory of the
genteel fakir. In a brief walk of half an
hour I had my catarrh completely cured
five different times, and nearly choked
myself on a piece of ‘dog bread,’ thinking
it a sample of anew water cracker instead
of a patent food for animals, i rested my
weary arms by trying my son and heir on
six different baby jumpers, and then I had
my clothes soiled by three patent flour
sifters. I had sixteen campaign badges
offered to me at disgustingly low prices,
and was weighed four times, losing about
a pound each time. Seven times did I
drop in a nickel to ‘see it work,’ and when
I went down stall’s I had my overcoat
pockets chock full of samples of yeast
cakes, baking powder, hair oil and liver
pills. The man who visits the exposition
and misses the gallery loses half his life*
