Capt. T. M. Fulton celebrated the
closing exercises of his school last Fri
day night by giving his scholars and
their friends a sumptuous repast long to
be remembered. Through the energy
of that good lady, Mrs. Fulton, and the
interest of her friends, nothing was left
undone to make all have a pleasant and
enjoyable time. After partaking of the
delicacies of the season, and witnessing
the consumption of substantiate by the
elder folks, games and other amusements
wore indulged in, without a floor mana
ger until a late hour, when recess was
called, books and slate were laid aside,
the curtain drawn, and this the bright
epoch in the history of Capt, Fulton’s
school was declared at an end.
It is not necessary for a satirical illus

Rut if Mr. Superintendent or any execu

would like to have an insight into the
true condition of this depot by a faithful ,
cartoon in the Kennesaw Gazette he can
have the same by applying to the writer.
If our depot cannot repaired or made
more accommodating, then we would
like to know it.

denced the fact that many prisoners

We sailed along very nicely at the
spelling bee Friday night until we became
oblivious to oui surroundings, gazing
with the greatest admiration at the daz
zling brilliancy of two sparkling black
eyes which adorned a face that seemed
itself to be the very incarnation of all
that is sweet and lovely. We were sud

“miraculously” take our seat.

As I dare not converse personally with
our prominent citizens, I want to say
this to them, hoping that it will meet
with their approbation, and that some
one will at once take it into their hands
and make a big success of it: I see m
the Cor uant-American that the people
of Cartersville had a spelling bee. Why
can’t Cassville have one? The “bee”
would attract a large crowd, for every
body within several miles would attend.
It would afford an incalculable amount
of pleasure for all; and as we have not
had any public entertainment in some
time, let’s have a “spellin’ bee.” I will
guarantee that we can get up a sufficient
number of spellers to make it very in
teresting. “Bam Sly” will certainly spell
and will divulge himself on the occasion.
It is far from any intention to dictate;
but if Mr. Bob Smith will talk the thing
up, we havea “bee,” and that rightsoon.
How does that strike you?

JusAce Lamar’s Opinion.
Washington, I). 0., Nov. 7. —Justice
Lamar ventured out this afternoon to
view the remains of the Democratic
corpse.
“Are you looking forelection news?”
was asked.
“Oh, no,” was the reply, “1 have got
over that; lain not one of those who
are always waiting and hoping for some
thing better when they feel and see that
the tide is against them.”
“Then you think that Harrison is elec
ted?”
“Everything points that way, and I
don't think there will be any change in
what is now believed to be the general
result. I anticipate that later informa
tion may make it more favorable for
Harrison.”
“Did you anticipate this result?”
“By no means. On the contrary, it is
a great surprise to me.”
“Do you think the tariff issue is respon
sible for the Democratic defeat?”
“No, sir, I do not; and I do not know
to what to attribute this defeat. In re
gard to the tariff, I remember reading
with great interest the testimony taken
by the Tariff Commission of 1882, and
I was quite struck with the fact that
there was not a single one of the man
ufacturers examined who did not admit
that his business could stand at least a
small percentage of tariff reductions.
Ofcourse a man’s statements, even under
oath, are naturally somewhat colored
when they are in regard to his pecuniary
interests; but yet all who were examined
then admitted that a slight reduction of
the tariff upon articles employed in their
manufactures might be made without
serious injury to their business. This is
what the tariff measure proposed by the
Administration would do. It was a
reform measure and not a free-trade
bill.”
