Prayer meeting every Wednesday night at Pine Log church, we hope to set? a greater interest manifested in this good work than ever before.

I have felt for some little time as if some great attraction had been with drawn, as if there was some great void in our community. So deeply impressed was I that something uncommon had transpired, I began to enquire to try and find the cause, when I found that Miss Alice Hawkins had been in Rome for nearly two weeks, visiting friends. 1 realized what had been the matter, and felt fully satisfied. 1 will try and keep up with Aliss Alice’s whereabouts hereafter. Miss' Mary Gibbons from California, a neice of Air. (!. R. Gibbons, paid the fam ily at Bonnie Brook a flying visit, com ing on Sunday and leaving on Tuesday morning. She was on her way to some point in Arkansas, where she goes to take charge of the musical department of some college. Miss Gibbons has been attending the Bartow Musical Conserva tory for the last two years perfecting her musical talent, both vocal and instrumen tal. All who had the pleasure of hearing her, are very lavish in their praises. Her performance upon the piano was just grand, playing -at the same time two different pieces and all their variations, with perfect accuracy, her singing was perfectly enchanting, no matter which style of singing she engaged in. We w ish she could have staid longer, so we all would have had the pleasure of listening to her. The latest style introduced by a young getleman from Florida, is to go calling on the ladies, riding a mule bare back. Two of our young gallants went calling on some young ladies a few nights ago, when they went to leave there was iniss ing one mule that was left. Some ofthe boys suspect the old gentleman of turning the mule loose. A gentle hint boys. Grassdule turned out enmasse to the festival at Cassville, and a very pleasant time all of them had.

What 1 regretted the most was. he could eat nothing, we had dinner spread inside of an old tent, thinking by keeping him in there that he could divert his atten tion long enough to eat, but all our pre cautions were of no avail. Jake Vernon came to the camp meet ing Sunday morning driving a double team, but Mrs. Vernon came along hav ing no trusty person to send along, and being afraid to trust him alone. W hen she saw* the surroundings, she was afraid to trust him there even when she was along, so she hurried him off soon after dinner, nor did she breathe easy until she was on the Bartow side of the moun tain. And sorry to say Mrs. Clara Saxon is suffering very much with her head. Mr. Taylor Hicks and family from Troup county after spending a few days at his old home, with his parents Mr. Mrs. Win.

They Make a 135 Appropriation for tlie Piedmont, and in tie* Language of Mr. Hillrarn, Will Trust to Providence for Street Sprinkling. Tuesday afternoon being regular monthly meeting time of our city coun cil. that august body assembled at that time and proceeded to business with Mayor NVilde in the chair and Aldermen Collins, A. C. Williams, General Griffin, J. C. Wofford, John Hilburn and G. H. Gil reath being present. The minutes of the former meeting were read and adopted. Col. M. R. Stausell appeared before the body with a petition requesting the opening of the street near his residence running from Erwin street to the NV. & A. railroad, and extending the same in a westerly direction. He proposed that interested citizens should pay half the expenses of doing this work and the city the other half. On motion, the matter was referred to the street committee to report at the next monthly meeting. Judge Collins, pending the discussion of renting the school buildings belonging to the town —the NVest End Institute and the Cartersville Institute —moved that flie buildings hereafter lie given to the teachers free of charge, provided they keep them in thorough repair. Mr. Griffin thought the question of enough importance to lay over until the next meeting to allow time to learn the ideas of the people on the question and to allow the discussion of it at a larger meeting of the board, as a full board was not present at this meeting. The amendment was accepted and the ques tion will come up for discussion at the next meeting of the board. the piedmont exposition. On the part of the Bartow county com mittee oil exhibits, Mr.George H. Aubrey appeared before the body. He was be fore it for the purpose of asking an ap propriation from the city for the pur pose of defraying, in part, the expenses of making an exhibit of our resources at the coming exposition and State fair. He did not think it necessary to go into detail as to the advisability of the dis play, feeling assured that the honorable body fully understood its importance. Mr. Aubrey found th§ body in splendid spirits and the unanimity of the board in making a liberal appropriation is very commendable indeed, and stamps the gentlemen comprising the board as pos sessing the spirit of progressiveness. John Hilburn moved that an appropri ation of SSO be made, John laboring under the impression that that was all the committee needed and was asking for. John made some very commenda ble remarks and showed that he was the hustler that he was wont. He thought that we never had a better opportunity of exhibiting the resources of our section ami county, a county that could not be be beaten in the whole wide world. “Gen tlemen,” he said, “let’s show to the world vvliat we’ve got, let's get out of the old i-uts and put our best foot forward, and rather than Bartow county and Carters ville not be in the lead at the exposition, I'm in favor of giving the exhibit com mittee all the money they ask for. Now is our time to act and do not let the committee of energetic gentlemen suffer for one cent.” Messrs. Gerald Griffin, Collins and NYil liame made some remarks on the same line, and on motion of Mr. Gilreath, the appropriation was fixed at $125, Mr. Aubrey thinking that was very liberal and adequate. The board was in favor of the appropriation to a man, the only question arising was the amount neces sary. The appropriation is handsome, considering the hard times. This, in con nection with the private subscription* already made will puj new life into the committee and the most beneficial re mits are expected. street sprinkling. The drawing near of the great Taber nacle meeting broaches the question of purchasing a street sprinkler, to be used during the meetings on the two roads leading from the public square to the Tabernacle grounds. The dust last year was fearful and theeity fathers are desiring means to escape it in the future. Alderman Griffin has been in correspon dence with a gentleman of Atlanta for the-use of one or two. The gentleman informs him that he can probably spare one, at a cost of #25 and the expenses of shipping. The matter was discussed at length by the board, and as the probability was the sprinkler would be a single-horse one and the dust would be too thick for it to settle, it was decided to not accept the Atlanta gentleman's offer. The water supply was limited and with a small sprinkler not much benefit could be de rived. John Hilburn moved to “let the sprinkler go and trust to the Lord for rain.” Chairman of street committee reported that the month's expenditures on the streets amounted to #250. A sewer was ordered built under the opera house building frOm the rear to the public square—tlie owners of the property bearing half the expense. The city marshal reported the follow ing amounts collected. Fines #10.28 Stable license 20.00 Scales 7.40 Impounding stock 1.25 Dog tax 2.00 Street tax 20.50 Total #76.40 The opera house realized for the city #1.75 for the month of August. Mr. J. L. Wikle was elected as an extra policeman during the Tabernacle meet ing. A. Case of Deafness Cured. Office of Shaw A Bald wind's Wholesale! Notion House, Toledo, 0., I)e<- 11,1879./ F. J. Cheney A Cos., Toledo, O.—Dear- Sirs: About three months ago, noticing ajetter addressed to you in the Bee from Gen. Slevin, in reference to the cure of his son by the use of Hall's Catarrh Cure, we were induced to commence the use of it tor our daughter Nellie now fourteen years old, who has been suffering from catarrh for about eight years, during which time she has been treated by one of the best physicians in the city. We have also teied the use of almost all the known remedies for catarrh, with no more success than temporary relief. Many nights have we laid awake to hold her mouth open to keep her from strang ling. Her hearing had also become affec ted. We were afraid that she would never recover. We have now used six bottles of Hall's Catarrh Cure, and we liclieve Nellie to be entirely cured. In a few days after commencing the use of it we noticed a decided change for the bet ter. and from that right along she has improved, until now she breaths as easily ns any one. She sleeps well and her hearing is jierfeetly good. NYe feel that the disease is entirely removisl. NYe write this unsolicited letter, feeling that it is due you, and with the hope that others may be benefitted in like manner. NYe can hardly realize that such a change could lie effected in so short a time after battling with the disease so long. NYe are still using the remedy at inter vals. as it seetus to build up her system. You are at lilierty to use this in any manner you see proper. We are yours, truly, Mb. and Mrs. Baldwin, 220 Franklin Avenue. Sept. B-1 m Sold by Druggists, 75c. Married.

Silva, at the new Hightower warehouse. An 8- liorse engine drives a large washer that grinds the yellow looking dirt to fine par ticles and sends it flowing in one contin ual stream to the immense vats where the ochre settles to the bottom. After the stuff settles the clear water is drawn off into the well to be used again, after which the ochre is laid in one thick mass over the huge drying furnace, the brick of which absorb all dampness, leaving the ochre comparatively dry and ready for handling. It is then cut up into cakes and laid on the drying shelves where it thoroughly dries into a hard substance, when it is ready for packing and ship ping. Air. Silva, in the operation of this mill, employs considerable labor, both in mining the crude material and preparing jt for the market, thus proving a direet benefit to the community. Small manu facturers are the boon of all towns that are fortunate enough to possess them. The amount of money used in them is small, while the investments always prove perfectly satisfactory. NYe hope to see others inaugurate anew industry even if it is small, for it will grow, as Mr. Silva's ochre mill will do. Small indus tries are what we want and plenty of them. Reunion of the Veterans of the Old 23rd Georgia Regiment at Adairs ville, on August 31st. Avery pleasant occasion was that of the reunion of the boys who wore the gray in the 23rd Georgia regiment, who met with us last AVednesday. Substan tial friendship met each other in a hearty welcome —tragedy and comedy were well blended together. Then this glad day was polished off by the young people’s recognition of a good ripe, lively sweet heart, who paired off and met each others’ hearts behind the palm leaf fan. NYe no ticed this soldiery under march to din ner in the hands of Air. NY. J. Hiilburn, the marshal of the day, who managed the men under him with military precision and caution. AYlien all had assembled in the park, prayer was fervently offered by Chaplain AY. A. Dodge. Air. E. B. Earle, in a few fitting re marks, introduced Col. H. I). Capers, who delivered the address of welcome in elegant and appropriate sentiments. Mr. Hugh Colquitt then followed in his liapi est efforts and patriotic reminders to his fellow-countrymen. Impromptu speeches were then delivered, one after the other, grape and canister style, full of wit and wisdom, which amused the audience hugely. Among these speakers we must allude to Mr. Harrison Black, old and feeble, who said as he was never married he was a bachelor, and was thankful to see so many ladies out. Dinner was served and we met the enemy face to face not on the field of battle at the cannon’s mouth, but on the broad grounds of a sumptuous repast where everyone en joyed freedom and hospitality. After dinner our citizens took care of their guests and nothing was left undone to make their stay, though short, with us as pleasant and agreeable as possible. Gov. Colquitt, who could not be with his regiment, sends a letter of apology full of feeling and love for his comrads, which was delivered by Air. Hugh Col quitt to the 23rd Georgia regiment, who now hold it with a high sense of pride and respect. Pursuant to arrangements, tliecom pany met at Adairsville, August 31, electing the following officers for the en suing year. Win. L. Selman, president. J. C. Waldrup, vice-president. W. N.
