CASSVILLE.
Quite a good number of our people met
at the baptist church Sin day evening
and enjoyed some good singing.
The Baptist Sunday school has decided
to have a Christmas tree on the night of
December 24th.
Itev. Fletcher Walton preached at the
* Methodist church Sunday night. Text,
Homans, xii, i.

business trip through Alabama for sev
eral weeks, has returned home.
Mr. Marion White, son of Rev. J. M.
White, was at Cassville Sunday.
Miss Mittie Griffin, who has been spend
ing several weeks with relatives and
friends here, will leave for Canton this
week, much to the regret of a certain one.
There was a dude that came to preach
ing here Sunday night who wore the
“cutest” thing in the way of a collar that
we have ever seen—the Atlanta dudes
not excepted. He was kind enough to
furnish us with its measurements. From
tip to tip it measured eighteen inches,
and the average height was nine inches.
Taken altogether, it had a very ancient
appearance, and we have been informed
that it has been in the family over 50
years. A priceless heirloom it is. It was
a Cass Station dude who wore it.
Pat Gilreatb. Jr., spent several days
hunting birds in Polk county the first of
the week.
Miss Haskins, the woman preacher
from Tennessee, is booked for Cassville
next week.
Our yong folks just might as well pre
pare to see all the little parties take a
back seat for several weeks; that is if
things of the past are going to repeat
themselves. Watch out!
Cassville is a regular hornet nest at
this writing over the pen-picture of Sam
Sly in last week’s paper. I described my
self just as I supposed I would look when
I get ancient, and lo and behold! a cer
tain estimable citizen of the old town has
taken the picture to himself and is wear
ing my shoes. The fun deepens; look
out now for the fur to fly! I will promise
my Cassville friends a Christmas pen
picture of some of the notables and
would-be notables of the place.

McCJUIRES CROSSING.

We have had two or three of the big
gests frosts ever known to our people.
The acreage in wheat will be greater
than for many years.
Hog killing is now in order. Back
bones, spareribs, brains, chitterlings and
such like good eating, iR as common as
candidates for county office.
The young people from all quarters
gathered at the residence of Mr. C. S.
Park last Thursday night and had a
good time. Although the rules of the
churches prevented dancing, they made
Tucker and Twistification whoop. “A
rose by any other name, etc., etc.

Sunday with Mrs. Dabb’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Jefferson.
Hitcp and Tom Maddox go to Chatta
nooga Saturday.
Come again boys, but don’t all come
at once. Home.
CASS STATION.
Christmas will soon be here; the holi
days with all their joyous occasions will
be upon us. Throughout the country
there will be marrying and giving in of
marriage. We don’t profess to be a
regular prophet, nor, can we say that
our predictions always come true; but,
we’ll wear our old last snmmer’s straw
hat if Crofton and Sam Sly don’t each
have a marriage to chronicle ere long.
It strikes us that one of Grassdale’s most
popular youug men and one of her beau
tiful blondes, will join hands and hearts
sometime within the coming winter.
Prof. Marshall, of Dallas, made us a
flying visit last week. He reports that
his family are well pleased with their new

been found. W. C. W.
KINGSTON.
We see signs every day that betokens
the near approach of Christmas, Our
merchants are arrranging their, shelves
so as to present their beautiful goods in
front to tempt their customers, and we
notice fire crackers arranged so as to
catch the eyes of the little boys and
beautiiul dolls to please the little girls—
and our good old fathers and mothers
are looking out for a fat turkey.
Everybody seems cheerful and happy,
notwithstanding our cotton crop is
short. The corn crop was good and
most of our farmers have fat hogs and
the ’possums are ripe and we have sweet
potatoes and ’possum. We should be
thankful to God for his goodness to us.
I must not forget to say in connec
tion with our good things that we are
in the beginning of a mineral boom. A
company are raising iron ore on the
lands of Capt. H. S. Crawford and Capt.
G. H. Waring. We have some fine iron
ore on B. F. McMakin’s land on the
Caldwell place, now owned by Hon.
Leopold More, of Boston, Mass. In fact
our county is full of iron ore, and while
other sections of Bartow county are
boasting of their fine minerals, why
should not Kingston come to the front
with her millions of wealth.
The ladies are arranging for the oyster
supper at the academy next Friday
night, for the benefit of the Methodist
church. Come out, friends, and help them
in the good work.
Rev. J. M. White, the jiastor of the
Kingston circuit, has gone to Milledge
ville to attend the annual conference.
Rev. H. B. Green, a young preacher of
our p T ace, has gone to join the North
Georgia Conference, He is a promising

little son, Mitchell, left last week for

in business.

STILESBORO. #
Bro. Etheridge’s school was out Fri
day, and a pound party wasgiven, which
everybody seemed to enjoy very much.
The boys and girls seemed to have a
big time playing steal partners and
other games, but the fun was at the
table when P. W. E. had to tell Bob to
wipe his mustache for fear he would get
them clogged up with candy.
Mr. Jas. E. Jolly left for Lexington,

buying of corn and bacon by our people
from the West, will cease.
The little girls that belong to Mrs.
Bailey’s Sunday school class, pieced a
quilt and quilted it tor the purpose of
sending it to the Presbyterian Orphan’s
Home. Why not others emulate the ex
ample set by these little girls, thereby
lelieving the needy, giving pleasant and
profitable employment to little hands
that would otherwise be idle.
Parties seem to be all the go, just now.
We were pained to learn that members
of the church yielded to temptation, for
getting the vows they made to God in
the presence of many witnesses, and par
ticipated in the dance. We trust this
will not occur again.
Mr. Joe Fink returns this week to his
home in the land of Flowers. Joe is a
worthy young man and deserves to suc
ceed. May success crown his efforts in
that goodly land. Kiser.
OAK GROVE.
Clear and frosty, but the indications
are, if the signs hold good, that there
will be a change in the weather in three
days. ‘lt will either turn colder, or
warmer or stay like it is.”
Christmas draweth near at hand, and
already doth the small boy’s heart wax
glad in anticipation of Xmas morning,
when lie'll get up before day to see what
old Santa Claus has “drapped” in his
sock.
Mr. Simeon Couch, the model farmer
of Oak Grove, is visiting relatives in
Walker county. Hope he’ll enjoy his
visit.
Prof. T. A. White closed his writing
school at the academy last Saturday,
giving entire satisfaction to all that
attended. He is now teaching a school
at Stilesboro.
No preaching at the Grove next Sun
day on account of the absence of the
pastor, Rev. J. M. White, who is attend
ing conference.
Wonder who Kiser is? I know a mule
by that name, but can hardly think it is
he, judging from his bray. If anybody
knows who it is such an one would do
Oak Grove a great -favor by “letiu’ the
cat out of the wallet.”
Esquire “Kit” Dodd had the misfor
tune of having his dwelling house burned
last week. Fortunately, however, it was
insured.

Mr. J. M. Copp, onr superintendent,
has adopted a beautiful plan of exercise
for his Sabbath school, viz! Has ap
pointed Capt. J. F. Morton to put some
question before the school one Sunday
for them to find out and answer the
next. After all that can answer it cor
rectly have stood up, he asks some of
them questions on it and then gives them
a talk on the subject, which is both very
instructive and interesting. His next
question is where in % the Bible do you
find the phrase, “The arrows are beyond
you.”
