Noted Carefully and Tersely for Courant- Amerioan Readers ly Our Übiq uitous Reporters. 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. Mr. Jim Crawford, who has been on a 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. Sam Sly on X. Y. Z. McCJUIRES CROSSING. Mr. J. A. Jefferson and Capt. Maddox went to Canton last Saturday. 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. Mr. Charlie Dabbs and family spent 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 home. Rev. Fletcher Walton stopped over Sunday with his mother’s family. He was on his way to the annual conference. Bro. Walton is an old Cass boy, and we wish for him abundant success in the gospel ministry. Miss Mary Early is spending the week with friends at Hall’s Station. Misses Mamie and Belle West, of Hill City, Tenn., spentseveral days with their aunt, Mrs. R. R. Hargis, last week. Mrs. Carter Williams, of Cartersville, visited relatives here this week. Mr. M. L. Johnson went to Summer ville within the week. Thomas Greer left Wednesday for a visit to relatives in North Carolina. Mr. Win. T. Gaines has moved his fam- ily here from Canton, and Cass will be their future home. Mrs. Wm. McKelvy and Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Quillian, spent Sunday visiting in Kingston. Before closing my report I will state for the benefit of a certain Cartersville insurance agent, that B. F. Posey has 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 young man, the son of Dr. M. M. Green, and we hope he may be received. Mrs, W. H. Goldwire and her bright little son, Mitchell, left last week for Montgomery, Ala., where her husband is in business. Rev. James Mcßride, of Rockmart, preached in the Baptist church Sunday night. He is the father of our towns mans, Mr. A. W. Mcßride. Jackie. 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, Ky., last Friday, for the purpose of at tending the Commercial University. His many friends wish him much success. The cotton buyers of Stilesboro have bought up to this time about 1,30.0 bales of cotton. Prof. T. A. White is teaching writing School at this place, which will be of much benefit to this community. Santa Cl a us EUHARLKE. Cold weather was received with quite a welcome by some of our neighbors that had hogs to kill. This section will make its own meat for the next year.

May the day speedily come when the 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. Wishing the Courant-American much success, I am, Irish. HA.L<I/S MILL Mrs. Ware is visiting friends and rela tives here this week. Miss Ward, of Irion, is on a visit to her brother, J. Iv. Ward, of this place. Capt. .T. F. Morton has returned after spending several days with his daughter and relatives in and around Cedartown. Mrs. P. McMurry has had a very hand some addition made to her dwelling. Mrs. Mary Clemmons is having a dwel ling erected, which is without a doubt the prettiest location among us. Hope she will give us a party when it is com pleted. 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.” Fine weather for hog killing. Bob Bail. FOLSOM. B. M. Hays will have his house com pleted in a few days. M. T. Hays has begun work on a fine residence near here. Sorry to report the illness of Mrs. G. W. Hendrix. Hope she will speedily recover.
