TIIM MOTHER HUBBAUD.
A Delight iul Evening;—Grau<l,
Gloomy ami Peculiar Get-ups—
The Score a Big
Success.
The Mother Hubbard masque party,
at the hospitable and elegant home of
our genial friend, Capt W. C. Edwards,
on Thursday night last, was a grand suc
cess in every sense of the word. It was
gotten up under the auspices of our new
literary and social club, the “Owls,” and
the members have cause to be proud of
this, their initiatory entertainment.
Capt. Edwards and his better-half spared
no pains to make tho occasion a pleasant
one, and they certainly have a “natural
nack” for making others happy.
Those present were Musses Bertie
Temple and Bailie Brown, of Nashville,
Tenn., Misses Nelia Jones, Fannie B.
Jones, Mary Jones, Mamie Ware, Eliso
Owen, Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, Capt. and
Mrs. Mays, Mrs. Gerald Griffiu, Mrs.
Col. Jones, Mrs. Col. Davidson, Capt.
M. L. Pritchett, Messrs. Theo. Smith,
W. H. Wilde, John li. Bauton, Fletcher
Walton, John Skinner, Juo. Head, Isa
dora Scheuer, Julius Scheuer, Dick Mi
lam, Will Graham, Beu Akerman, Miles
Dobbins, Dr. Griffin, and others whose
names are not remembered.
Alter an hour of most jdeasant guess
work under the masque, the characters
and their actors were called by the com
mittee. Then the company repared to
the elegant dining room, where they
wero confronted by a table laden with
tempting viands, and most charmingly
arranged. After even Theo. Smith and
Isadora Scheuer had gotten through with
it, there was en abundanco left for distri
bution among the sick of tho city.
Miss Stdlie Brown, us the “Wax Doll,”
was one of tho chief attractions of the
evening.
Mr. John Bauton as “Belva Lock
wood,” was very good.
Mr. Isadora Scheuer, as the “Fat
Dutchman,” made a decided hit, and
carried it out well.
Mr. Dick Milam, as “Grandmother,”
brought down the house. Ho cau just
make an old woman ashamed of herself.
So rapidly sped tho delightful hours
that the happy company reluctantly dis
persed about high noon iu China.
Agricultural Clubs,
Our Ironville correspondent recently
announced the organization of an agri
cultural club in that neighborhood. Wo
would be glad to see one in every militia
district iu the county. For agricultural
purposes we doubt if any county in the
State has natural advantages equal to
those of Bartow.
Iu conversation with a visitor from the
north recently, he remarked to the writ
er that North Georgia ought to be m the
front rank of stock-raising regions. Its
soil and climate are well adapted to tho
most useful grasses; its water supply is
all that could be desired; and tho cost of
caring for stock throughout the winter is
far less than in a more northern climate.
Tho possibilities of our section in this
particular only now seem to bo dawning
upon our people, and the comparatively
small measure of attention now being
given to this branch of industry, is a
hopeful sign, giving promise of a better
day for our section.
The mania for cotton-making, to the
exclusion of almost everything else, has
well nigh run its course. The intelligent
farmer has tried the experiment enough
to learu that the only successful mode of
farming is to diversify his crops.
Our people, however, are not half
awake to their true interests yet. We
need a spirit of enterprise that will dem
onstrate the fact that Bartow is the very
best county for agricultural purposes in
the Empire State.
Cobb holds the position of the “banner
county,” not because of the superiority
of her lauds, but because of the thrift
and life of her farmers. She has more
successful farmers’ clubs than any coun
ty, and this is the secret of her success.
It w’ould require columns to enumerate
the value of these neighborhood agricul
tural clubs. Let the good work of or
ganization go on. Tho American will do
all iu its power to promote their interest,
find we trust our farming friends will
make free use of our columns in giving
their ideas and experience for the benefit
of each other.
Mr. George Cunningham is one of
Bartow’s most energetic and successful
farmers. In talking to a friend the other
day, he said he was ready for work with
tho plow as soon as the weather permits.
Ilejhas lost no time; his fenoes barns ,etc.
are all in apple pie order. During the
hard freezing weather he put two good
mules to a lioavy single-tree, drove over
his cotton laud, and while tho ground
was frozen it was uo trouble to snap off
the old cotton stalks and pile them lip.
Ho says this is the best plan yet for do
ing this work, and there is souud phi
losophy in the idea. Such workers as
Mr. Cunningham are bound to succeed.
In some sections of our county the
stock law, or no-fence question is begiu
iug to bo agitated, We heard an intelli
gent f.inner say, the other day, that he
thought a majority of our people would
vote for it, Thore would boa hard fight
made against tho ohange, however. Sev
eral districts in our neighboring county
of Cobb iiave adopted tho new system,
and it is said to be working well.
Will, Graham left for Florida yester
day. Cartersville can ill afford to lose
such a boy as Will Graham. He has
left a host of friends to regret his loss.
He was one of our cleverest, most genial
young men. We wish him much success
in his new homo, and can only say that
wherever he goes that place will be the
gainer by his poming. Success to you,
wm.
TATTLER TALKS.
“A Dream of Life,” written by Miss
Marion Daniel for the Kaleidoscope, and
reproduced iu the Christian Index and
other papers, appears on the first page of
this week’s paper. Dr. Shaver, of the
Index, spoke iu very high terms of the
poem, and Miss Daniel’s friends in this
city will read it with pleasure.

I don’t know when I have been so
much amused as when the Constitution
credited Mrs. Felton with saying: “The
happiest moment in a young girl’s life is
when she has a real, live sweetheart, a
whole parlor to herself, a chair capable
of holding two and a father who trusts
everything to her experience.” Mrs.
Felton is a woman who enjoys a national
reputation for profound thought and wo
manly dignity. She is known as a wo
man of mature wisdom, capable of grap
pling with, aud mastering the most diffi
cult questions of polities. She has cer
tainly passed that time of life when “a
young girl’s fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love,” and it was funny to
see this squib, (brilliant of its kind, but
gay, giddy and girlish), going the rounds
of the press credited to Mm. W. H. Fel
ton, when indeod it was written by Mr.
Ryals.
Last Friday evening wiw the loveliest
of the year. A full moon, a clear sky
and a soft southern breeze. It was
enough to awaken sentimental feelings
in a gate post or stir the poetic fancy of
a Hindoo. It was my good fortune to
be iu Adairsvillo that night. As the
evening wore away, and ovory pound of
life was hushed in tho town, I wandered
to the homo where I was born, and
where my boyhood was spent. At elev
en o’clock I leaned over the gate post,
and gazed under the mellow’ light of the
full-orbed moon, on the old familiar
places. Many things had changed, but
tho big oak where Joe and I had played
w’as still there, tho old church still “top’t
tho neighboring hill,” the neat cottage,
nestling among the trees towards the
west, wliero the little sweetheart of my
boyhood had laughed and sung, was stil
there. Those old tender memories came
rushing over mo and I could feel a ten
derness about my heart that had not
been there for many years. It is a good
thing to have been a boy, and to have
had a home around which clusters the
happy recollections of a glad and joyous
childhood. As I stood there and
thought of the things, I remembered the
beautiful words of Gray as he looked ou
the sceuos of his college life:
Ah! happy hillx! Ah! field* beloved in vain!
Where once my careless childhood strayed,
A stranger yet to pain,
I feel the gales that from thee blow,
A momemtary bliss bestow—
As waring fresh their gladsome wing
My weary soul they seem to sooth,
And rcdoleul of joy and youth,
To breathe a second spring.
The best place in all this world to
spend a rainy winter day is in the coun
try. Just think of this, a comfortable
farm-house, a glowing country fire, a
cordial host and hostess, a generous old
fashioned welcome, a bountiful and
sumptuous dinner, a family circle where
conversation is free and informal, where
good cheer and kind fellowship predomi
nate, where bright eyes and smiling faces
make sunshine in the room. I say just
xmagino this and you cau understand
why a day in the country is worth a year
in town.

I have made careful inquiry about the
wheat crop since the last cold snap, and
I do not think it is as badly killed out as
many wero at first disposed to think.
Red land wheat has suffered greater
damage than gray land, but iu most
places the stand will be good enough to
expect an average crop if the spring is
favorable.
Farmers, don’t plow your land too
wet. It is a ruinous way of farming, and
you lose more than you gain by it.
“Haste makes waste” in this particular.

Mr. James B. Conyers delivered an able
and instructive address on the subject of
Foreign Missions at the First Baptist
Church in tins city ou last Sunday even
ing. Mr. Conyers is chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Missions of that
church, and bad had been put on notice
that he would be expected to speak on the
subject of missions. His address showed
extensive investigation and careful prepa
ration. Ho spoke freely for thirty minutes
and was listened to by the congregation
with marked interest.

A certain young gentleman of Carters
villo, who bears the reputation of being
a fine conversationalist, visited a young
lady friend in the country last Sunday.
It so happened that he met a young man
there from a neighboring city. It has
been said, you know, that threo is no
company at all, and the young lady was
a little solicitous at first, for fear the two
young mon would not spend a pleasant
day—both of them having expeoted to
see hor alouo. But our Cartersville boy,
equal to the emergency, entered
with enthusiasm into one of Lis most de
lightful strains of conversation. He talk
ed with so much vim and onergy, and
withal so charmingly, that the young la
dy gave him most of her attention. For
a time however, Ins rival sat by hot
seeming to be very deeply interested nor
highly entertained. And yet tho flow of
conversation never ceased. Sometimes
ho was grave, sometimes he was gay.
Poetry, scenery, fiction, philosophy,
lovo, law and theology claimed his atten
tion, There were times when his con
versation rippled along like the moun
tain streamlet, breaking over pebbles,
gliding through meadows, kissing the
wild lillies or dancing iu the sunlight.
And again like the calm flow of the river
that moves with majesty, w hose currents
are deep and wind through fertile fields
and far-stretching valleys. Never hud
liis tongue responded so promptly to the
C:tli of his mind and never had his ideas
been clean r or more beautiful. The
young lady was pleased and showed an
intelligent appreciation of his extraordi
nary conversational powers. His rival,
ou the other side, also began to show
symptoms of iuterest. Irvleed as the
day wore away the young man from the
neighboring citv yeiided entirely to the
spell and found himself deeply interest
ed. And just before the little party
broke “our boy” was the recipient of a
Compliment which, under the circum
stances, is too good to keep. His rival,
from whom he had reason to expect little
comfort and no encouragement, urged
him, during a pause in the conversation,
to talk on—adding, “I like to hear
you talk, Mr. S—, I assure you, sir,
I believe you are a man of sense.” Mr.
S— ruse and bowed his profoundest
thanks for the compliment. It is a great
accomplishment, aud sometimes very ad
vantageous to be a good conversational
ist. Ask Mr. S — if it isn’t.

This plan of collecting mission monev
through committees is anew one in Car
tersviile, and it seems to be the very best
way of securing contributions from the
entire membership. Maj. Foute, the
chairman of the Committee on State Mis
sions, reportel for January something
over $40.00, Col. Conner, chairman of the
Committee on Home .Missions, reported
for February about $38.00, and it is ex
pected that Mr Conyers will report equal
ly as much collected in March for Foreign
Missions. If the same rate is kept up for
the year, the church willcontribute nearly
SSOO for the cause of missions. I speak
of these things to show the workings of
the new plan adopted by the Baptist
church.

About three weeks ago I saw something
about Spring. When I wrote the little
item the air was balmy and the sun was
shining but when the paper was issued ah
arctic wave was on us and the thermome
ter was rapidly “advancing backward.”
It was almost painful to read about
zephyrs coming up from the south, laden
with the breath of wild honeysuckles and
made musical with the song of birds,
when in fact the wind came whistling
down from the north driving the blinding
snow storm before it, I felt like an apology
was due my readers for having written it.
The little thrust that the able Cassville
correspondent of the Courant made at me
was timely and well deserved. I’ll be
almost afraid to mention the subject of
Spring again. It ’ooks really springlike
as I write, but I’ll not risk any fine spun
sentiment on the subject.
In the Wrong;'Pew.
Last Friday evening the Express agent
notified Henry Morris, the colored barber,
that there was a package for him. Henry
found to his surprise that it was a jug, and
investigation soon proved that it was not
dynamite—at least of an explosive nature
—and so Henry concluded that some
thoughtful friend had anticipated his
desires during the great drouth of red-eye
in these parts, and with thanks to the
unknown faiend, he and his companious
proceeded to make merry. The followfng
day, however, claimant appeared, saying
that the aforesaid jug was his property,
and that for prudential reasons, it was
sailing under false colors. The jug was
finally turned over—but as to contents,
deponeth sayeth not.
Moral: It is not always safe io order
jugs sent in other folks’ names without a
previous understanding.
Atlairsvillc’s Meteor.
A meteor was seen by a fe\y parties here
last Friday night, which has caused con
siderable comment. Though the night
was unusually bright —almost as light as
day—all say it -was the largest and bright
est they ever saw. It was truly a grand
sight. Starting at about 90 degrees and
going to about 15 degrees, making a
buzzing noise, something like a sky rocket.
This is not the first that has attracted
attention here. About three weeks ago a
gentleman living in the county, was
awakened by &. bright lidht, a rumbling
noise like a cannon. Another instance
There was a party sitting up with a corpse,
and was attracted the same way. The
negroes and the ignorant think tho world
is coming to an end.
Bleckley’s Tribute to Akerman.
The following inscription on the tomb
of the late Amos T. Akerman, who was so
renowned as a lawyer and a citizen, was
written by Judge Bleckley:
In thought clear and strong ;
In purpose pure and elevated;
In moral courage immovable,
lie lived loyal to his convictions,
Avowing them with candor
And suporting them with firmness.
A friend of humanity.
In his zeal to serve others
He shrunk from no peril to himself.
He was able, faithful true.
Methodist Church.
Rev. T. F. Pierce, presiding elder of
the Rome District, will preach at the
Methodist church iu Cartersville next
Sunday night, and hold tho quarterly
conference Monday morning.
Baptist Church.
Rev. Harvey Hatcher D. D., of Atlanta,
will preach at the Baptist church in this
city next Sunday morning.
In reply to our request of last week, Mr.
J. A. Price, of Adairsville, writes as
follows :
“I have examined the wheat very care
fully, and have talked with some of the
best and most successful farmers of this
valley, and we think we are safe in saying
that from one-fourth to one-half the wheat
crop has been killed by the late severe
weather.”
Mr. J. P. Rogan returned from Missis
sippi a few days since, where he had been
in the interest of the department of ethnol
ogy of the Smithsonian Institute. He
brought back with him a well developed
case of chills, which he is unwilling to
define as an Indian relic.

WORK SENT FROM A DISTANCE
Will UeceiYO Prompt Attention.
Ironvil’e Notes.
The beautiful spring that “Tattler”
scented in the distance seems to remain
quite distant.
The lovely day on Saturday encouraged
hopes of settled weather, but the next
morning’s rain dispelled it all.
Farmers would gladly welcome farming
weather. They are getting very much
behind with their work.
The wheat crop is badly killed in many
places—especially on red lands, and a good
deal of land will have to be planted in
something else.
The farmers have taken advantage of
the wet weather to fix their fences. The
country shines with new rails. This
makes everything look cheerful and pros
perous. This thing of making fencing is
a nuisance; the people in this vicinity
want a stock law passed. We are getting
tired of keeping up our own stock and
fencing against other people’s. It is an
outrage on common justice to require one
man.to provide for another’s stock with
out remuneration. There is not enough
grass around here to keep the stray cows
for two months, then they go marching
around the cornfields with hungry eyes
looking for some plaee to make a haul.
Will not the people agitate this question
and let it come up next winter?
The Calliopean Club, (uow the Iron
ville Literary Club,) met at Mr. W. T.
Pittard’s on last Friday night—attendance
good. Mr. and Mrs. Pittard are a young
couple just starting in life and are never
soh' ppy as when they their many

The Ironville Baseball Club will reor

Tbe weatlier seems to have settled
down. Wo are sure it needs a rest, and
you may rest ussured we do.
Tbe farmers aro very much behind,
and would welcomo some plowing
weather.
Owing to the frequent quick freezes,
the small grain crop lias been very much
injured.
The people seemed to have been
spending their time fixing up their fen
ces, so everything has a cheerful appear
ance.
This part of the county would like t j
have the fence question agitated. Wo
think that if the subject was properly
worked up it could be carried in tiiis
county. Will not some enterprising per
sons give it their attention.
Maj. Smith (Bill Arp) hits gone on a
lecturing tour through Texas and the far
West. He is one of the few whose hands

Will Rowland makes it convenient to
