A MERRY PICNIC.
The I’tiople of Stilesboro Enjoy Their Aa
mial FeMt.
Thenmnml May. picnic at Stilesboro, is
always looked forward to with pleasure by
the people for miles around this delight
ful little lmrg. They never fail to draw
together a large number ol the best jm.*o
p!e of this most splendid community, and
the picnic for 1887, which occurred on
last Friday, was above an aveeage in at
tendance. By ten o'clock the beautiful
grove around tin* academy was iitteral
ly alive with happy, joyous faces, all
buoyant with pleasant anticipations.
Indeed, it would be difficult to find a more
genial or nobler set of j*eople than are to
befotiud in Stilesboro and vicinity—ever
warm hearted, generous and hospitable.
Nobody ever attends one of these an
nual gatherings and goes away saying
that he does not feel the better for having
mingled with these clever ]*eople. There
is one feature of thi*se picnics that is
. most commendable, and that, is the in
! terest manifested by the older jieople. In
the multitude can be seen every age,
from the prattling ha 1)0 to the gray
haired. venerable sire, all assembled for
the one purpose—that of pleasure. Ev
erything had l>eeii arranged before hand
to make all who attended enjoy them
selves. A croquet ground had been pre
pared, and sets provided for those who
eared to engage in this entertaining and
healthful sport. A room had been ar
ranged for all who desired to indulge in
tin* dance, the Home colored string band
furnishing the music. Mr. Joel T. Con
yers was master of ceremonies, and
much credit is due him for the admirable
manner in which everything passed off.
At 12 o'clock the dinner was spread
upon a long table which had been pro
vided for the occasion, and everybody in
vited to partake. Rarely has such an
abundance of good things been seen, and
never more thorougly enjoyed than by
the happy crowd that gat here around.
Cartersville, Home, Cedartown and
Rockmart were well represented. All
went away feeling that the day had been
happily spent.

Mrs. Martini A. Durham.
On Wednesday evening, May 4th, a.s
the soft twilight was losing itself in tin*
soften rays of the moan, a gentle spirit
passed from earth to realms of bliss un.
known to mortals.
How sweet to exchange the feeble light
of this world for that light w hich shines
more and more unto the perfect day.
How blessed to be released from a life of
suffering and pain to one of unmingled
joy and piece; happy exchange of a home
on earth where hope and tears alternate
rise, for one of full fruition beyond the
skies. And after bearing the heat and
burden of the day. how swt*et “To pass
over the river and rest under the shade"
to shelter beneath those wings, w hich
are constantly outspread to receive, pro
tect and shelter his loving children, and
there through one eternal now to join
the angelic choir in singing praises unto
()ur God.
Thus Mrs. Martha A. Durham, for
many years a great sufferer, toiled lie
neath the heavy weight of affliction, but
bore it all with patience, looking forward
to the time when her sufferings would
cease, when she would exchange her cross
for a crown. She lived an humble Chris
tian, honoring Christ in her life and lie
honored her by giving her the happy as
surance of his presence at the trying
moment of separation from her loved
ones, consisting of a devoted husband
and five children, who will mourn their
loss, when the world has forgotton the
dead.
The deceased was aged years,
months, days. She was the wife of
Mr, F. M. Durham, clerk of BartowSupe
rior court, was beloved by all who knew
her, as the host of sorrowing friends who
followed the remains to the cemetery
proved, God in mercy comfort the heart
of him w hose home has been left without
a heart.
i Hi! What is home when the heart is
not. * * *
ALABAMA'S KISSAXE.
.V Mysterious Imlividual Disappears—A
Man of Many Crimes.
News reached here of the flight
from his home, in St. 1 lair county, Ala.
of Joseph as Compton, present member
of the state legislature. Compton set
tled in St. Clair it,tint, four years ago,
coming from Kentucky, so he stated.
He took up his abode in the little town
of Eden, u here 1e followed the trade of a
curj*enter. His life was exemplary, ami
in year or so he \ras eWtail town mar
shal. Last year, after a seasonable
probation, Compton was li<**uwel as a
Methodist piem-her, and his sermons and
exhortations were of the most t*-rvid and
orthodox character. He joined the imle
pemleiit party in the last state campaign,
and was selected by that crowd tis their
standard bearer for legislative honors.
After a hot tight he was elected over the
regular democratic nominee by SHO ma
jority. and hist Noveniliei took hts seat
in the lower house of the legislature. He
didn't cut much of a figure us a latr
maker, but he did atwuct considerable
notice and caused much talk in Mont
gomery by his love for liquor, under the
influence of which he was nearly the
YY'h ole session. Now comes tin* strange
story of this man's life. Thirteen years
ago he was engaged in making moon
shine whiskey in one of the mountain
counties of North Carolina. While thus
engaged he became involve*] in a differ
ence of opinion with a jiarty of revenue
officers, and in tin* liielee that followed
Compton shot and killed one of the offi
cers. He was arrested, tried, eouvirted
and sentenced to twenty-four years in
the penitentiary. He remained in that
institution four years and then escaped.
For years he sue,veiled in covering up
his tracks, and his escape seemed a per
manent one. Dili one day not long since
u man who is now foreman of a bridge
gang on the Georgia Rue Hie road, saw
Compton and at ouce recognized him.
“That, is Josephus Canton, who was a
prisoner in the North Carolina jieniten
tiury whi'ii 1 was a guard there, several
years ago,” said the foreman, and then
In* comuniaicnied his discovery to the
North Carolina officials. The governor
issued the proper papers for Compton's,
alias Castem's, arrest and sent them to
the sheriff of Jefferson county, this state,
to be served. A gentleman in Eden re
ceived a latter from a friend in Birming
ham telling him of the receipt of the
requisition and this* fact yvds told to
Compton. Compton was superintending
a gang of laborers on a contract Yvhieh
lie had taken on the Talladega and
Coosa Valley railroad, about a mile from
Eden, and had walked up to the Village
coat less on the afternoon of last Wednes
day a Yveek ago. When the receiver of
the letter told him of its contents Comp
ton turned pale, stammered a few broken
explanations and then walked hurriedly
away. That is the last that has been
seen of him in that section, and his
whereabouts are unknown. He never
even went back after his coat.
TUe Great Meeting.
On Monday last, the meeting of the
North Georgia Holiness association be
gan at the Methodist Church at this
place. The opening sermon yvus preached
by Rev. A. J. Jarrell, yvliosc four years
Yvork us pastor, in times past, of the
Methodist church at,this point, is remem
bered by all our people for its great Yvork
and for the consecrated life of Bro. Jar
rell. His sermon Yvas on the horrors of
sin, and seemed to produce a profound
impression. The daily services are:
Ri ayer meeting at six, street preaching
at eight, services at the church at nine,
and again at half past three in the af
ternoon, street preaching at five, and ser
vice at the church at 7:45 at night.
Large crowds have attended these meet
ings. Men have come from several states,
and from all sections of this state. Re
ligion seems to be enjoyed- We are at
tiie beginning of the work, but it bids
fail* to be one long to be remembered by
our people. Some things are said Yvbicli
seems to tie extravagant; for instance,
in n powerful sermon preached by Rev.
Mr. Keene of Kentucky, on Tuesday
night, he classed using tobacco and
drinking Yvhiskey in such a yvuv as to
make many think that they Yvere regard
ed by the brethren as similar evils. This
largely impaired the influence of Yvhat
was up to that point a very impressive
sermon. Nevertheless, it is certain that
many of the visitors have a deeper expe
rience of religion than most professing
Christians. The aim of the meeting is
good, and we believe that much good will
result in the conviction of sinners and
the confirming of the saints. ()ur people
receive them with open homes and open
hearts and will give them the best hospi
tality Yve have. We trust that such good
will result from the line ting that the
toYvn of Cartersville and the surrounding
country Yvill long remember the meeting
as the beginning of a holier and happier
time. Our beloved former townsman,
Hev. Mr. Dodge, who left behind him
such pleasant remembrances and whose
stay here was a benediction to the Yvhole
people, is present at t]p* gathering, and
is the same dear man he always was,
Bishop Key arrived Tuesday night, and
preach next Sunday.
In .Memiirlam,
Mr. John 11. Satterfield died recently
at Fort Smith, Ark., after a brief illness
in the 59th year of his age. He was born
jll Habersham county, Ha., and when
quite a boy his father moved to Cherokee
county, Ga., where the deceased lived
until 1857. when he settled in Cartersvile,
Ga. and commenced business as a mer
chant. A few years ago he moved his
family uud business interests to Rome,
Ga. Here lie was successful as he had
been in all of his business enterprises
from the time lie commenced work in
Cartersville. Recently wishing to ex
tend his mercantile operations he estab
lished a branch of his business in Fort
Smith, and was there on a visit in com
pany with his nqw bereaved wife when he
was suddenly attacked with his fatal sick
ness and in a few days expired quietly
and composedly, sustained bv the min
istrations of his loving and devoted wife
and the sympathy of the many new
friends he had acquired in Fort Smith.
Mr. Satterfiield leaves, in addition to his
wife, three children, two daughters and
one son, to mourn the loss uf a most
tender and affectionate father, possibly
the leading personal quality among the
many amiable characteristicts of our
deceased friend was devotion to his chil
dren—these were the objects of his un
wearied solicitude and labors. He had
the satisfaction of seeing them ail hap
pily married and prosperously settled in
life.
It was as a business man our citizens
best knew Air. Satterfield, and it was in
this relation which so often proves tla*
integrity of character that they learned
to appreciate the honesty—the imparti
ality and liberality of his business trans
actions. Tiies.* business principles
brought success and friends. These
fi ipnds were still further attracted toward
him because of tiie gentle kindness which
marked his intercourse with all men.
He was charitable to the atticted and
needy, the jioor was never turned away
empty handed from his door—according
to his ability and opportunity bf re
lieved the poverty of his unfortunate and
improvident fellow men. Loved and
honored by his immediate family almost
to idolatry; ivspeeted and esteemed by
his acquaintances and gratefully remem
bered by the poor, lie sleeps with his
fathers and his life's record is with God.

HALLS MILLS.
Last Sunday Yvas a beautiful day and

Jim Waldrip calls them, met at Mr.

One of our young men has lost his

it is uoyv in the possession ol a young
lady of that place. Surely lie will de
mand hers in return.
Halls is on a boom at last, and has
plenty of material to constitute a still
larger one. We are doing quite an ex
tensive business iu tis* ore and lumber
line; tin* ore is very fine manganese, a

very valuable minerals on it also.
Will Sherman says that Hall sis more

Babies do not cry if they are satisfied, and
they cannot be satisfied if they are not prop
erly nourished by their food, or if it produ
ces irritation of stomach or bowels.
Very many mothers cannot properly
nourish their children, and the milk of many
mothers produces bad effects in the child
because of constitutional disease or weak
ness.
For all such cases there is a remedy in
LACTATED FOOD.
Hundreds of physicians testify to its great
value. It will be retained when even lime
water and milk is rejected by the stomach,
hence it is of great value to all invalids, in
either chronic or acute cases.
