INCIDENTS OF THEIR
NEIGHBORHOODS
0
And Dish Them Up In s Delectable Bhf*pe
For Our Headers.
PINK LOO.
March weather in earnest.
The spring oat crop, and also some
forward wheat, has been injured by the
freeze.
F.inner* generally are very much be
hind with their work, ow ing to the eon
tin lied bad weather.
Mr. R. L. Boyd will clone hi* echoed at
Oak Hill in about three week*. So far
he has taught an excellent school, giving
entire satisfaction.
For the past two weeeks Prof. J. M-
Boyd has l***n exfierieneing what about
a dozen cases of inunips can .do for a
fellow’s school.
We learn that Mr. R. E. Adair closed
his school at the pauper farm Inst w*ek.
Miss Nellie Willingham, ‘in company
with her father, visited the family circle
at their home near Sonoraon last Satur
day and Sunday.
Mr. Albert Biddle, of Sallacoa, visited
the high school at this place last Friday,
and made an interesting talk, it being
the young men’s evening to declaim.
Our village is full of life and activity.
The high school, under the supervision
of Rev. W. T. Hamby, is fully alive to
every interest in that line. Live mer
chants, mechanics and doctors character
ize the citizenship with quite a lot of
pretty girls, and only about eight wid
ows and two or three widowers and old
bachelors without number.

KINGSTON.
The Ladies of the Methodist church
propose to give a supper on the night of
the 27th. Their object is to raise money
to paint and repair their church. I hope
they may be successful in collecting a
nice sum.
Mr. W. W. Bailey is making some im
provements or additions to his residence
and will o|**n it as a hotel soon.
We had an exciting race on the streets
a few days since. Mr. J. P. Lewis drove
his horse to a light wagon in front of J.
M. Anderson’s store, when he became
alarmed, dashed off at a rapid rate down
Railroad street, and was captured some
distance below town, and in the language
of Max Queen, “tore everything all to
smash and didn’t hurt a thing.”
Our town council had an interesting
ease before them a few nights ago. A
colored gent went to Rome and imbibed
too freely and returned home and con
cluded he had the right to do as he
pleased in his own house. But the coun
cil charged him four and cost for the
lesson with the advice not to curse and
hollow so loud the next time he laid in a
stock of “tangle-foot.”
Kingston is looking gloomy. March is
blustery, rain and wind nearly every day.
Our farmers can’t do much work in pre
paring for the new crop, and all look sad.
As I failed to send a report last week,
l wish ,to speak of the very interesting
Quarterly Conference at the Methodist
church on the 3rd and 4th. Rev. Mr.
Lowry, the presiding elder, of Dalton
District, was present, and preached
several interesting sermons to the de
light of his many hearers.
Mrs. W. H. Felker, of Big Shanty,
spent several days recently in Kingston
visiting the family of i. M. Davidson.
Miss Carlisle, from near Best's Chapel,
js visiting her sister, Mrs. J. B. Eubank,

Rev. Fletcher Gilreath and sister, of
Cassville, is visiting the family of Rev.
J. M. White.
Capt. A. Y. Sheats, of Calhoun, spent
Saturday and Sunday in Kingston
among his uuniwous friends.
Capt. Wei 1h and lady, of Duluth, Minn.,
spent a day with Mr. S. L. Bayless, of
Kingston. They were en route to the
land of flowers. Quite a change from
the cold winds of Lake Superior. Glad
*o see our western neighbors in our
little burg.
Messrs. Conner and Wilson, of Atlanta,
paid our city a visit on Sunday. Per
haps there was some otner attraction
besides a view of Kingston.
I was shown a strange sight by Mr.
M. D. Harris on Monday. It was a hen
egg of peculiar shape and in breaking it
open another perfect egg with hard
shell, occupyimr about half of the larger
one, the other half contained the white
and yolk as perfect as any other egg.

HALL S MILL
It seems that March has set. in in true
earnest. Surely it will be out soon. But
the farmers took advantage of the few
pretty days last week and made things
happen.
The farmers say their oats are pretty
badly damaged, if not entirely killed. No
corn planted yet. They have learned not
to plant so early.
We are sorry to chronicle the death of
Miss Mary Hood, who died last Thursday
night. She was a sister of Messrs. John
and James Hood. She was a member of
the Baptist church and died in the tri
umph of a living faith. Her remains were
interred at Mt. Camel on Saturday at
eleven o’clock. The bereaved have our
heartfelt sympathy. She suffered greatly
with her throat.
Regardless of the sharpness of the wind
Sunday evening there was a very nice
crowd of young people gathered at Mr.
E. M. D.viu V aim Imil a mcc singing. Mr.
Hoojiyr Kitchens and John Ward carried
the du.v with the fair sex.
We welcome Mr. Joe Barrett and family
among us. They have just moved into
their new house, which is u very hand
some structure.
Hall’s will in the near future be one of
the most thriving stations on the State
road We are also expecting the Rome
& Gainesville Railroad soon.
There will be an all day’s singing here
next Sunday, the 18tl iast. All ait* in
vited to come nil i learn to sing.

AVAIIiSVJLLE .
Our justice court was busy trying to
convict Mis. C. W. Crow of the murder
of John Rue. The facts brought out
were, that Mis. Crow’s maiden name was
Divers, of Henry county; that she mar
ried Jim Landers, who died about ten
years ago. It is said that they did not
live happily together. She say* that
after Landers’ death she took up with
John Rae. She was married to C. W.
Crow in about a wek after Rue's disap
pearance, which hapjiened in this way:
Last Novemlier Rae boarded the W. A A.
train at Adairsville, bound for Carroll
county, to get one thousand dollars that
it is said was due him. He left the train
at Cartersville, and has not be*u seen
since. When the minister was called on
to perform the marriage ceremony, he
asked for evidence that Rae was dead or
where lie was. Mrs. Rae, as we will call
her, produced a let ter from Carroll coun
ty, signed, it is said, by liae’s sister, say
ing that Rae reached her house all right,
but was taken sick and died at once.
She refused to show this letter to Mr. J.
A. Bailey, but in three or four days she
brought a letter from Altoona, signed by
Sam Brown, saying he went to Atlanta
with Rae, and while there the latter was
taken sick, died and was buried in the
city cemetery. Our people made inquiry
of the city officials, who said no such
man was buried there. These circum
stances caused Messrs. L. M. Green and
J. F. Babo to swear out a warrant. At
the trial one Jarrett swore that Mrs.
Rae told him if he would marry her
daughter she would put old man Rae out
of the way and they would run the thing
to suit themselves. The body of Rae has
never been accounted for. Mrs. Crow
now says the letters were forgeries, and
that Rae left to keep the revenue men
from getting him. Mrs. Crow- was ac
quitted, as the evidence was not sufficient
to convict. Mrs. Crow is 47 years old,
and, to use her own words, “has gone
through with enough in the last twenty
five years to make the hair stand right
up,” and she has the appearance of hav
ing passed through stormy scenes.
Our town has an addition to its citi
zenship in Esqujre J. C. Pritchard.

the feet having only three toes. Your
correspondent called ou its chickenship
Tuesday night, and Mrs. C. says it is ap

any of its brothers and sisters.
Much to our joy, “ Blaze” turned up
Sunday.
Your representative spent Friday even
ing at Prof. Marshall’s school at Cass
ville. They have a splendid school, the
scholars being forty or fifty bright, in
teresting boys and girls, who seem to be
well up with their studies. The prolessor
is u good teacher and knows how to
manage a school. As he reviewed the
‘various classes, and as they all seemed
so well posted it certainly reflected credit
on the scholars themselves, as well as on
their teacher. My best wisnes for the
success of the school. w. c. w.
