Sam Sly,
CASS STATION.
There was quite a happy marriage at
Cass Sunday evening. Mr. Wm. T.
Gaines, of Canton, was united in the
bonds of matrimony to Mrs. Susan
McKelvy, of Cass Station, Rev. B. B.
Quillian, officiating. The bride was the
widow of the late Jno. C. McKelvy, while
Mr. Gaines is a widower from Cherokee
county. May happiness and prosperity
attend them through life, is the wish of
many friends.
Prof. Marshall and family left Monday
for their future home in Dallas. Prof,
M. was an excellent citizen and a good
teacher, and Cass lias sustained quite a
loss in his removal. When Wofford
Academy prospered most, Prof. Mar
shall was at the helm. There are many
boys who received their foundations, for
a practical education under bis teach
ings; and the wholesome advice which
lie was wont to give the scholars will be
appreciated many years lienee. AYe
realize that we have lost a valuable citi
zen, a kind neighbor, and a most esti
mable family. Prof. M. will have charge
of Dallas Institute the coining year.
Several weeks since I gave a “rousing”
account of an all-night “rough-and-tum
ble” ’possum hunt which I participated
in. The Atlanta Constitution promptly
reproduced it, and in accordance with
that paper’s proverbial accuracy, at
tributed it to “Emerson correspondent
Cartersville Courant-American.” Now,
the Emerson correspondent is a fair
young lady, and it would be simply
ridiculous to suppose that she gracefully
took part in those lively experiences.
Had you noticed the amusing mistake,
sister “Sigma?”
Mrs, 11. 11. Hargis spent several days
visiting relatives and Irinds in Atlanta
last we.k.
Mr. Henry W. Johnson, of Adairsville,

Miss Sal lie Hargis, of Kingston, is vis
here this week.
The strawberry plants in Maj. Hoss’
garden have grown two crops of berries
this year. Even this late—after several
heavy frosts—there is luscious ripe fruit
in the patch.

The kind of weather we are having is
throwing farm work back very much.
Wheat sowing not over and a great
deal of cotton still in the field.
Mrs. Mamie Henry, of Summerville,
has been at her mother’s quite sick for
some time. Mr. Henry came over to be
with her.
, Mrs,, Wilkerson and children, who have
I been visiting her brother, J. L. Irick,
I has returned to her home atltock Ledge,
Fla. Air. Wilkerson going through first
and finding the way clear. Mrs. W. has
many friends here, who are always glad
to have her among them, in fact no one
can be associated with her for any
length of time without being her friend.
Hope she will conclude to spend her
summers in our midst.
’ A certain young man went to the sev
enteenth to see his girl, but had quite a
sad experience with a sick horse, and
did not get home lor several days, but
got to see the young lady all the same.
We hope that he may not be bothered
with a sick horse next time.
Mrs. Sarah Teach, of Drlanda, Fla.,
after spending a week with the family
of J. C. Herring and visiting friends in
the neighborhood, has returned to
Adairsville. We hope that she may live
long to repeat these yearly visits, which
give all of us so much pleasure.
The oyster supper at Airs. Sam Pit
tard’s came off according to programme,
and as predicted was a complete success.
At least one hundred and twenty-five
can testifiy to the fact, and everything
was gotten up in the very best style.
The tables fairly groaned under the
many good things, then to be waited
upon by so charming and pretty young
ladies, even the sourest old bachelor
there could not refrain from eating until
the mere mention of eatables made him
turn away in disgust. Among the help
less was Mr. Will Phillips, of Chatta
nooga, who did as much for the enjoy
ment of the young ladies as any one
there. One young lady in our midst
still wears a happy smile, caused by his
presence and something be said to her.
Your town was well represented by the
following handsome young gentlemen;
Messrs. Will and John Wikle, Frank
Wallace, Will Whitehead, Harris Hall,
It. C. Pentland, A. M. McCanless and
Spence Phillips, all who did their part
well in helping to make the supper a suc
cess. The ladies tender them hearty
thanks to all who were present for their
generous help.

ADAIHSVILLE.
A good sized mug was placed under the
nasal organs of our tonsorial artist by
one of our merchants.
The handsomest selection of roses and
chrysanthemums that we have seen are

A parson remarked in the pulpit here
that the louder that baby cried the tone
of his speech would be raised the higher.
The child stopped.
The inevitable janitor at the depot
pulling the last of a cigar looks up com
placently on the constellation of the
stars, while the coil of a brace of the
feline tribe can be seen under each arm.
His own pets driven there by the cold
winds that come screaming through a
so-called depot.
Baptismal services were held Saturday
at 2 o'clock, llev. Mr. Tumlin officiating.
A goodly number of people attending,
in fact a large crowd considering the
weather. At the time appointed, and
the forms of worship through, the can
didates gave themselves over to the
clergyman standing in the waters of
the Oothcaloga, who met his mission
without accident, and baptised each in
the faith and requirements of the
church. If we mistake not this service
added 12 members to the Baptist church.
Last Wednesday was not the day one
would select for a, wedding, for the rain
fell spasmodically and a heavy canopy
of clouds shut out every gleam of sun
shine. But there was a marriage, bright
with rays of happiness, and Adairsville
was interested, for two of her most
valued and respected citizens were the
contracting parties. At the residence of
Mrs. M. Wood on Wednesday evening at
three o’clock, was a~scene of the happy
union of Mr. James Morton and Miss
Ria Wood. At the appointed time the
bride and groom very gracefully entered
the parlors followed by the handsome
attendants in easy manner. 'Mr. Henry

Rev. Mr. Taylor of the Presbyterian
church in a simple, yet beautiful manner,
performed the ceremouy. After congrat
ulation from a large number of friends
a nice luncheon was spread by Mrs.
Wood, who fully understands the require
ments of such. Good wishes were offer
ed for the long life and prosperity of this
newly married couple, who bade ns good
bye as they hastened to take the lour
o’clock train for their future home, Tus
cumbia, Ala. The bride and groom are
well known here. The former is of such
a nature and excellent traits of charac
ter thatshe was exceedingly popular, not
only with the young people, but all who
came within range of her acauaintauce.
Mr. Morton bears the name of an excel

blast on his whistle in this happy event
in securing a bonny bride.

Rev. J. M. White preached his last time
for this year at Brandon’s Chapel. His
efforts for the past two years have been
productive of much good. May the
Lord continue to bless his labors.
J. E. Hammond, of Stilesboro, has the
run of the Alliance trade. John is a
worthy fellow and deserves its patron
age.
Alfred Jolly has the completest outfit
in the way of a vehicle we have ever
seen. A thorough description would be
impossible, but I willjstate it has a pair of
shafts, two wheels, one axle, two springs
from a wagon seat, and a dry goods box
with a bag of pine straw on it “for to
set on.” This is his courting outfit, I
guess,
Mr. Whitesides has the sympathy of
the community in the loss of his little

We are still moving upward, anew

Rev. N. G. Greene preached us an able
sermon Sunday to a large and attentive
congregation from the text “go and do
likewise,” at the close told us he must
bid us good-bye, with tears in his eyes
saying he was sorry he could not preach
for us next year. We are very sorry to
give him up.
Mud and slush is dreadful, the farmers
are wondering when they will get to fin

The yell of the hounds and crack of the

The boy’s motto is “go slay kill and

it is too rainy to work.
There has been considerable discussion
among our boys for the last two weeks
about the acts of one of our boys who
went to carry his girl to ride, but they
think now they have almost solved the
problem. His acts are viz, after carrying
her home and telling her good-bye, he
departed and sang “good-bye my lover
good-bye” for three miles and as he
neared home he began singing “home,
sweet home,” their answer is this, “she
either gave him the go by or talked too
much taffy to him one,” no doubt ,he
will be better satisfied at home, now.
One of our former young men, J. B.
Morton, now of Tuscumbia, Ala., was
among us last week for the purpose of
claiming his better half in the person of
Miss Ilia Wood, of Adairsville. After
they were married they boarded the
north bound train for Tuscumbia, where
they will make their future home. They
have our best wishes. There is no use in
telling their qualities, as they are well
known.
Mrs. C. J. Wood, of Cedartown, and
her children, are visiting the home of her

The buildings for the Malleable Iron

the North for all their castings, but can
buy them at home. The W. and A. R.

The public road this side the wagon

We had the pleasure of attending an
ante-bellum style corn shucking at Mr.
J. A. Jefferson's last Friday night. The
only lack of similarity to O. S. shuckings
was the absence of “red eye” or any of
its relations, but the pile was well shucked
and cribbed before 10 o'clock, and all
went home sober and satisfied.
