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. Teachers’ Institute.

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.
