The Work of fkc fatrrmlllt Baptist fhrrrfc
for 1884.
At the prayer meeting of the Baptist
Church on Wednesday evening, December

church 60 ; number of prayer meetings
at private residences 30—total, 90.' Ses
sions of Sabbath school 52. Pastoral visits

These facts should be of interest, not
only to every Baptist, but to every Chris
tian. It makes a good showing for that
church, and from that they have not been
idle. Mr. Daniel has proven himself a
a most efficient and untiring pastor. The
number of his pastoral visits attests his
zeal and willingness to work. He has
gained the full confidence and love of his
flock, and has his church in splendid
working order for 1885. The services on
last Wednesday evening were of deep in
terest. The remarks of the pastor were.
appropriate and touching. He 9poke of
his year’s work, of the kindness of our
people, of the warmth of his reception
among us and of his earnest desire for the
success of the Master’s cause in the com
ing year. He invoked the hearty co
operation of his entire membership and
developed some plans for the ensuing year.
We gladly present this showing for the
Baptist Church and hope to be permitted
to publish something of the growth and
prospects of the other churches in the city
in our next issue.

TBHTT—PKICE,
The Marriage of Mr. Truitt, of LaGrange, to
oue pf Cartersville’s Sweetest and Most
Popular Young Ladies.
On Tuesday evening December 23
188-4, at 5 o’clock p. m., Mr. Alf T. Tru
itt, of LaGrange, and Miss Ida Price, of
this city were married, Rev. J. B. Rob
ins officiating. The attendants were
Miss Bailie Parrott and Miss Mamie Wi
kle, of Cartersville, Miss Lizzie Tram
mel, of Dalton, and Miss Lizzie Traylor,
of LaGrange. The ceremony was per
formed at the residence of the bride’s
mother on Erwin street, in the presence
of a few invited friends and the immedi
ate relatives of the bfide. Some beauti
ful and very expensive presents in silver
and china ware were received by the
bride. Almost immediately after the
marriage ceremony was performed the
happy couple left for Atlanta and spent
the night at the Markham house, pro
ceeding from there to LaGrange which
is to be their future home.
Mr. Truitt is to be congratulated. He
is an energetic and successful business
man with a splendid reputation in com
mercial circles, is well established in bus
iness and enjoys the full confidence of
his business associates. Added to this
he has won a bride who will lend light,
love and joy to his home. Mrs. Truitt is
a most lovable woman. She was one of
Cartersville’s most decided favorites, and
is popular with every oao. Her more
than two thousand friends in Cartersville
give her up with reluctance. She car.
ries with her the love and esteem of our
whole people. She is the happy posses-
sor of those noble qualities so lovable in,
and so characteristic of, the truest type of
our southern women. Beautiful, bril
liant and cultivated, she will be missed
from the society of our little city where
she lias been a reigniug belle. Added
to these splendid accomplishments, she
possessed a sweetness of disposition and
true religious piety, without which every
life is a fraud and a failure. We wish
Mr. Truitt and his fair young bride their
full share of this world’s happiness, its
successes and its pleasures; and may its
trials and disappointments be sweetened
by “pure, unselfish love.

THU B4PTIST SIN DAY SCHOOL FESTIVAL.
The supper given by the Baptist Sun
day school on last Thursday night at Mrs
Brame’s old school house was large and
the most generous good feeling prevailed.
Old folks and young folks, big folks and
little folks mingled in one merry mass.
Hearts were light, faces were bright and
everything moved right merrily. A royal
supper was served to more than two hun
dred children —some of them old children
in years, but young at heart. The old
school house has rarely held a happier
throng. Its old roof and sides fairly
trembled with song and laughter. No
greater happiness could be wished the
children who attended the Baptist Sun
day school party than that every new
year’s night of their lives should be spent
as joyously as that of 1885.
NOTES
Mrs. Brame, Mrs. Godfrey, Mrs. Cobb,
Miss Isa VY illiams, Miss Marion Daniel
and Miss Mollie Roberts, make the best
table committee on record.
Miss Kate Hargis, the belle of Kingston,
contributed much to the exening’s pleaure.
Our little folks say “she is so nice.”
Messrs. Ben Godfrey, Starling Roberts
and Warren White, enter into a game of
“steal partner” or “many, many, stars,”
with the spirit and zest of school boys.
They kissed the girls at the rate that made
young fellows in their first legs feel like
they wanted to die.
Miss Emma Beall, of West Point, Miss.,
was a large contributor to the evening’s
fun.
It tickled the little folks immensely for
their mamma’s and papa’s to steal part
ners, but when .Mr. Ben Godfrey kissed
one of the girls the house went wild with
fun. Some of the old patriarchs were
there, and they borrowed enough sunshine
and glad ess jrom the children to last
them through the coming year.
