C A BSYIL.UK. On account of inclement weather there was no singing at the Methodist church Sunday evening. Itev. Chas. E. Wright delivered an able Kermon at the Baptist church Sunday morning on the subject, “Christianity.” Text: Acts, 2G:28. Miss Mittie Griffin, a charming and in teresting young lady from Gordon county, is visiting relatives and friends here. Mr. IT. P. Gilreath spent several days at home last week. He is now engaged in mining ore at Oreville, Polk county. Ed Layton left Tuesday for Chatta nooga, where he will make his future homo. Miss Mary McTier, who has been spending some time in Cartersville, is at home again. New seats were placed in the Metliodist church last week. Itev. J. M. White will preach at the Methodist church Sunday. The Baptist Sunday School is consid ering the advisability of having a Christmas tree. We still urge the spelling bee project. If we don’t have it there will be lots of fun lost. Can’t some one take the lead? it will m(*ve itself when once started. 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, visited Prof. Marshall's family last week. Mrs. Abda Johnson returned last Wednesday from a visit to relatives in Baltimore. 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. I enjoyed some of the wedding cake, “Bob Bail.” \V. C. W. GKASSDALE. 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. Mr. Will Battle, who is attending lec tures in Atlanta, made his many friends glad by his presence on Saturday and Sunday He returned to his studies on Monday. Miss Alice Itenfroe spent Saturday night and Sunday with the Misses Weems. Misses Ida Saxon and Aileen Best visi ted Miss May Battle during the week. Crofton. 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 grown by Mrs. J. M. Teach. 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 R.W.

Bowdoin, Miss Mary Bibb, each taking their respective positions. 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 lentyoung man, a character without a blemish. He is an engineer on the M. & C. R R. and may well afford to give a blast on his whistle in this happy event in securing a bonny bride. The dull and sleepy like feeling in social circles suggests some entertainment, amusements of some kind—say an apple ducking or spelling bee. Redmond. eihaulee. ’Possum hunting seems to have taken possession of a majority of the boys, and some of the old men. Meat is too high ; ’possum and taters are better. 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 hoy. “The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Kiser. HALL’S MILE. We are still moving upward, anew house going up and another planned. 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 ish picking their cotton. The yell of the hounds and crack of the gun is heard on every side. The boy’s motto is “go slay kill and eat” and then “soul take thine ease;” 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 father, Capt. J. F. Morton. There is great interest manifested in the prayermeeting and Sunday School at this place. ___ Bob Bail. E3IEKSON. We are sorry to learn of Mr. Emsley Stegall’s sickness. While the doctor GERALD GRIFFIN, Fire Insurance Agency. Represents Leading Companies. Office over Postoffice,' Cartersville, Ga. thinks there is no hope, we still trust he may soon be better. His son, Mr. 11. B. Stegall, of Chattanooga, is with him. Mrs. F. A. Cox, of Hawkinsvillle, is visiting here. Mr. Lang has been very sick, but is now convalescing. The buildings for the Malleable Iron plant are being pushed ahead, the foun dations being laid, the lumber, materials, &c., &c., put on the ground. From pres ent indications it will not be long until hardware men will not have to send to the North for all their castings, but can buy them at home. The W. and A. R. R. authorities are putting in another side track for the convenience of the works as well as other shippers. Sigma. McGUIItE’S CKOsSIXG. Rev. Mr. Oslin spent Friday at Mr. McGuire’s. Capt. Maddox was quite sick last Sun day and Monday, and school didn’t keep. Our people have been faithful in visit ing Uncle Emsley Stegall during his sick ness. \ Tom Puckett has been quite sick but is now able to be out. Henry Burnett, Charlie Cain and Bale Dover, caught the mammoth coon last Saturday night. He would tip the beam at twenty pounds. John 11. McCay spent Sunday in our burg. He will move before Christmas to Mr. Gus Bate’s plantation. The incessant rains are preventing v heat sowing with us, and biscuit will be a scarce commodity another year. The public road this side the wagon bridge is suffering from the old Ochre mines. Our commissioners might do some good by visiting that locality and preventing further work, that is calcu lated to ruin the road, and having nec essary repairs done. 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. Mr. Pat Mansfield’s little boy was quite sick last week, but Dr. Mayfield soon had him O. K. Yet a little while, and it we don t 'crauuch some wedding cake it won’t be our fault. The sign is all right. Not a candidate for county office lives this side the Etowah, but we will vote all the samee tor some of the other fellows, and they will be elected too, or at least some of them. Mome. FOLSOM. The farmers are about through pick ing cotton and sowing wheat, and are now preparing for a happy Christmas. Messrs. B. R. Scott and E. C. Adcock went to Pine Log Sunday to the wedding. Hope they will be out next Sunday. The people of Cedar Creek are compli menting their new pastor, Rev. Mr, Tatum. J. S. Adcock, Esq., is in good health and weighs ninety-five pounds. J. S: Roads has just completed his house. Guess he will give us a candy stretching Our little town is improving fast. B. M. Hays is building him a cottage The Cou raxt-Amrricax only one dol ar per year.
