GRASSDALE.
There being a little time between wheat |
and oat harvest, the farmers are putting
in full time in the corn and cotton.
Like every year, the complaint is, we
are about a week behind with our work.
We had a most refreshing shower on
Friday night last. Am glad to say we
escaped the hard, washing rain that some
sections had about the same time. Ours’
was one of those gentle showers which
comes slow enough to allow the ground
to absorb most of it, and make vegeta
tion put on a most rapid growth. I
Bro. White visited among us. These !
partial visits are not only pleasant and
socially, but they are very helpful spirit
ually, binding the preacher and his peo
ple closer together.
Mr. Geo. S'uratt, from Coal City, paid a
flying visit to the family of Mr. Sam Pit
tard. There seems to be some magnetic
power about Grassdale, which is so
strong; that he cannot overcome.
Mrs. Rowland and family have returned
from Summerville. j
I hotice Jim Pittard, who has been at ,
Pining Fawn for some time, is now at
home.
A rather remarkable railroad accident
occurred on the ore bank road one night
last week. Bob Renfroe and W alt Haw
kins, who were going up the road on a
bicycle, ran over two fine turkeys that
were roosting on the fence some distance
from the track. The boys, being very
sorry for the accident, did all they
could for the unfortunate turkeys, but
finding that in spite of their united medi
cal skill, the turtceys could not recover,
they took them to camp, and for a short
time lived high. I don’t know whether
or not the boys succeeded in making the
owner of the turkeys believe it was an
accident.
Some of our people went to the speak
ing on last Saturday night and came
home perfectly disgusted.
Bro. Sullivan preached at Best’s on
Sunday evening. He was also with our
prayer meeting, which met at Mr. Grad
dise’, by invitation. By request the order
of services was changed, aud Bro. S.
preached He gave us a good talk, the
effect of which was visible. Bro. Sulli
van will preach at Mr. Graddiss’ on the
first Sunday evening of July at four
o’clock. Let all who can do so come out
and hear him. Crofton.

EMERSON.
George McLain, of Acworth, spent Sun
day with friends here. Think from pres
ent appearances he will be back soon.
We had a severe hail storm on last Fri
day, doing much damage.
Miss Maggie McCanless, a charming
young lady of Cartersville, spent a day
or so last week with Miss Minnie Stegall.
Mrs. J. P. Stegall is visiting relatives
in Chattanooga.
Rev, Mr. Oslin filled his appointment
at the Methodist church Sundav and
Sunday night.
Sunday School is rapidly increasing.
Lest all the people, both young and old,
come and join in the good work.
First watermelons of the season have
arrived at Emerson, and bore a peculiar
mark. “Compliments of etc., etc.,
Melvin Jones, who has been attending
school at the X. Y. C. A. College, Dahlon

Sorry Mrs. Jones, mother of Col. C. M.
Jones, who fell and broke her thigh a
few weeks ago, is not convalescing.
The match ponies were on this side of
the river Sunday. They make a splendid
appearance, especially when a pretty
young lady occupies the seat with the
driver, if the driver be a young merchant.
Mrs. Geo. Maddox, her son, Will,
(Hitup,) and Maggie Nina, are all down
sick, the two former unable to be lip at
all, but the little girl is not so bad off.
I)r. Baker has been called in.
We are having some very hot weather,
and if it continues at the same rate until
August thermometers will have to be
spliced. Sigma.

CASS STATION.
Several nice showers last week bene
fitted the crops greatly, and all vegeta
tion seems to be growing very nicely. I
find that the farmers about Cass are well
up with their work. Corn is very flue, in
fact I don’t remember of ever seeing it
look more promising at this season of
the year. There is a good acreage in, I
believe more than we had in last year.
About 30 per cent, of the crop in this
community is in. Cotton is also looking
well. The finest piece that I have seen
thus far is on Mr. C. E. Schulte’s farm,
and contains about one acre. It is cer
tainly a No. 1 patch of cotton, and I’ll
wager Mr. Schulte will have the first
blooms around Cass this year. About
the best average of cotton that I have
seen is on the farms of F. R. Walker, M.;
L. Johnson, M. M. Rogers and J. P. 1
Walker. Prof. Marshall deserves the
credit for having the most uniformly
clean cotton crop. Cotton still has the
lead over other crops in this section, but
corn is fast gaining, and in the course of
a few years I believe there will be a larger
acreage planted in corn than in cotton.
On about ten farms around Cass I find
that there is only about 6 per cent, more
cotton than corn, and about 12 per cent,
more corn than wheat, while oats come
just 7 per cent, behind wheat. Cotton,
corn, wheat aud oats are the chief crops
raised by our farmers, although sorghum
and clover are coming into prominence,
and ere long they too will occupy a place
among the principal crops.
Rev. B. B. Quillian is on a business and
pleasure trip in Gilmer, Fannin, Pickens
and Cherokee counties this week.
Mr. Hall J. Osment. of Cleveland,

Hurrah for the enterprising citizens of
Emerson! Hope their fourth of July
celebration will be a big success.
The summer session at Wofford’s
Academy will open Monday, June 25th,

ADATRSVILLE.
One of the most refined and intelligent
audiences that ever assembled together
metProt. M. P.Cain at the academy in his
school exhibition last Thursday and Fri
day nights. The stage was exquisitely
decorated aud appropriately mottoed by
the good ladies, and many other addi
tions were made that showed the school
building more than worthy of a passing
glance. Scholars that wore long aprons
and who were just learning to use the
sponge and slate occupied Thursday
night in their respective positions as
signed them. Certainly the familiarity
with their recitations, smoothness of exe
cution, proved the steady hand of their
drill master, Prof. Cain. Masters Ollie
Langston and Bynon Bray, (the small;)
faced the audience with all the attempted
oratory. Following came the two young
lads, the sons of our fellow-citizen, Mr.
Geo. Manning, who should feel proud
over the favorable impression his chil
dren made on this occasion. Dialogues
in which the small children played their
part so nicely, came in occasionally on
the programme. And the rendition of a
piece of which something like the order
of a fan drill was carried out, deserves
close attention. Merry little Miss Dyar,
in her minute description of how a dutch
man set the “old blue hen,” put the au
dience in an uproar. Considering the
extreme age of the children, their recita
tions and deportment on the stage was
very creditable indeed.
Senior night was looked upon natu
rally as “the occasion” of our commence
ment. for a higher round in the ladder of
education had been reached, besides, they
had graduated in going foot in their
classes, and we expected to be enter
tained more logically. And we were not
mistaken, for Messrs. Bowdoin and Bray’s
speeches were almost perfect in diction
and abounding in grace and eloquence.
Misses Johnson and Cain in their selec
tions received the loud applause of the
audience. The talented elocutionist, Miss
Pinkie Cain, delineation of a woman
character, captured her hearers by her
pathos and melody portrayed in her se
lection. Asa finale, a comedy in several
acts, titled “Popping the Question,” was
represented by Messrs. Johnson and
Bowdoin, Misses Estelle and Inez John
son, Misses Pinkie and Mabel Cain. This
polished off the occasion very nicely, as
we presume the “popping of the ques
tion” always does.
Our commencement closes with the
congratulations extended to Prof. Cain
for his superior exhibition given us;
through advantages shown his scholars
in education. A. M. Capers.
KINGSTON.
Dry and hot at Kingston. But we
have no right to complain for rain, as
our crops are not suffering, and every
thing is flourishing.
Our community is about as healthy as
is usual, and we are all able to
eat all the bacon and beans we can get.
The Blackberry crop was never better,
and we can have blackberries three times
a day, so I consider we are in a prosper
ous condition.
Kingston is moving up grade slowly
but safely—no danger of an explosion
from a boom.
Mr. J. G. Rogers is building a nice ad

We are proud to notice in the Rome
papers the name of Miss Olivia Eddy as
a member of the Rome conservatory of
music. In the concert at the opera
house on the 14th she acquitted herself
with great credit, showing that she was
a good student and was making rapid
progress in music.

Sunday was childrens’ day at the Meth
odist church. It was a perfects success.
Dr. Felton’s address was pronounced as
one of his best. His text was: “Suffer
little children to come unto me, and for
bid them not, for such is the kingdom of
heaven.” The singing was good. Miss
Grace Gillam, of Kingston, and Miss
May George, of Rome, were at the organ.
The church was beautifully decorated.
Many thanks to the good ladies. Miss
Grace Williams’ recitation, “The Last
Hymn,” was perfectly rendered. The
church could not hold the congregation.
The collection amounted to $5.75.
A concert will be iriven at the academy

Putnam Cos., April 29, 1887.
I have been suffering for most thirty
years with an itching and burning all
over my face and body. I took eighteen
bottles of one blood medicine and it did
me no good. I commenced last January
to use B. B. 8., and after using five bot
tles I felt better aud stouter than I have
in thirty years, my health is better and I
weigh more than I ever did. The itching
has nearly ceased, and 1 am confident
that a few more bottles of B. B. B. will
cure me entirely. lam sixty-two years
old and can now do a good day’s work in

more good than all the medicine I have
ever taken. I had, in all, nearly a hun

I cheerfully state the following facts in
regard to the use of your medicine in m3'
family. My little son, 14 years of age,
suffered from an acute attack of rheuma
tism, caused by undue exposure and chil
ling of the blood. I heard your remedy
highly recommended, and pnrehased one
bottle of Monerief & Bro., Prescott, Ark.
In about one month, after using this bot
tle, he became so much better that I got
the second bottle which is now being
used, and my son is nearly well, and 1
think by removing him to a cooler sum
mer climate (which I will do) and contin
uing its use, a perfect cure will be affected.
