items of doubtful propriety.

THE GAMK Of TOWN BALL.
A Fine Time by tho Youngster* at the
Ball Ground Friday Afternoon.
According to published p-ogramme
the “town hall forty” assembled at High
tower Park on Friday afternoon last.
The park is admirably arranged for such
games, and when the Courant reached
the ground* a goodly number bad al
ready assembled. The seats for the la
dies were promptly filled by the fair sex,
the wives and daugljlrs of the players,
besides many visitors and outsiders.
Among the first to a;rive, ready for
their share in the game, were Mr. Wil
liam White, the veteran of eighty-two,
and Mr. Roberts, tho father of our ener
getic townsman, Mr. Starling Roberts.
Here were seen two fathers and two
sons, the latter considerably over forty,
themselves; and yet the fathers were as
britk ami active and as ready to play as
the sons.
Mr. A. R. Hudgins and Aaron Collins,
E*q., were the captains of the two con
testing squads, and in the throw up for
“wet or dry,” the Collins party went to
the bat first. The Collins party were the
following:
Aaron Collins Starling Roberts
K W Satterfield Martin Collins
J C Wofford M A Collins
Ed Payne John Callahan
Jas Gilreath Lewis Matthews
Jas White Jas Harrison
M R Stansell Wm White
Rev J Anderson Rev V M Tumlin
Wm Satterfield Seab Spencer
John T Owen
Alter they had made their runs, with
varied fortunes to each, the Hudgins
party went to the bat. The names of the
latter were:
A R Hudgins T J Lyon
J D Wilkerson Dr Young
Martin Collins Jim Williams
Gus Barron F M Ford
Asa Dobbs E Majors
Mr Roberts sen J W Harris sen
John Harwell John Dobbs
Geo Maddox Wm Satterfield
W C Edwards G W Maddox
Dr Young
The latter party soon displayed a su
perior grip ot tho game, and the heroes
of the day were, Col. J. Watt Harris,
sen., at the bat, and Mr. Roberts, sen.,
on the run.
There were some genuine surprises in
store for the spectators, in the agility
and endurance of these grandsires and
veterans.
The young chaps looked on In w onder
and dismay. Base ball tledglings were
amazed to find themselves such “small
potatoes,” when compared with their
ancestors. The playing was remarkably
good, and things were lively for some
two hours. Occasionally you’d hear:
“Play fair!” “None of your cheating!”
“Hit him !” “Give it to him !” in regu
lar boy style.
One disgusted chap who was just
longing to get in and wasn’t old enough,
said to a bystander: “The drug stores
will run a thriving trade to-morrow, in
Wizard Oil, and such like.” Another
boy not quite forty replied: “Yes, did
you ever see such a set of old coons—
toting sticks around town to help along
their feebleness, and now look at them !”
A young mania the neighborhood of
forty-five, after he had tested his agility
in a half-dozen heats, whipered: “Plague
take this dry town I How’s a fellow to
get home without a little stimulant, if
they are all as sore as I am?”
But they never yielded an inch for the
two hours, and after four innings the
score stood Hudgins SO, Collins 54. Col.
J. W. Harris made the greatest number
of rounds, Capt. Tom Lyon proved to be
the best catcher, Jim Tumlin (a substi
tute) the fastest runner, and Jim Wil
liams the most active in getting to the
ball. The game passed off with the best
ot feeling on all sides. Mr. Starling
Roberts got a fall and a bruise on his
face, but he didn’t stop playing. After
tiie second inning some of the older ones
dropped out and put in substitutes. We
noticed J. G. Broughton, John Hilburn,
Geo. Cobb and William Patton among
others.
George Maddox, Dr. Young and Martin
Walker were the baldest men on the
ground, but it is not yet settled who car
ried off the palm. Rev. John Anderson
was the largest man and Gu Barron the
smallest. The brass baud, composed
mostly of young ladies,was on the ground
to announce the beginning of the play,
and their playing excelled that of some
bands manipulated by the sterner sex.
In -bout two weeks the players think
they will be able to undertake another
game, and from their eagerness and
spry steps about town, the Cocrant
thinks they could play sooner.

A Venerable Lady.
Calling at Maj. A. M. Foute’s, on Tues
day morning, we were lucky to meet Mrs.
Charlotte Sylar, who will be eighty eight
years old on her next birthday. She sits
more erect than the girls of the present
: time, and we found her making a quilt of
little scraps not so large as a half-dollar in
silver. The fine thread and needle would
i have tried our own eyes, which are some
what younger than hers, but she seemed
to experience no difficulty. She ha* a quilt
made and quilted with her own hands that
contains over twenty thousand little pieces
about the size of a nickel.
In response to inquiry she told us she
was a native of Jefferson county, Tennes
see, and born in the last century. Sho and
her husband moved to this Cherokee
country in 1833, and settled in Cassville,
when the town was in the unbroken forest,
if such an explanation is proper to desig
bate what was not there, until some years
! afterward. A pwle cabin had been erected
as a temple of justice, otherwise a court
house, and Mr. Sylar’s family, and Mr.
Isaac Anderson's family, (the latter the
grandfather of Mrs. Foute), lodged in the
cabin until they were able to build a I
double log house, for themselves. That ;
double log cabin was afterwards removed
to build Latimer'6 hotel, a famous jiostel
rie before the war. The Indians were
thick in this country at that time, and the
new settlers bought fodder and connahany
from them, and they also procured
“greens” and such like from their Indian
neighbors. Mrs. Sylar has seen the
growth of the country, therefore, from the
very beginning, so to speak. She has two
children, Mrs. Catharine Word, of our
city, and a son in Utah Territory. Mr.
Sylar died in 1871. He had also a history.
When the “gold fever” broke out in Cali
fornia a large crowd went from Georgia to
explore and try their luck on the Pacific
slope. He was one of the party. They
sailed from Charleston to Aspinwall, cross
ed the isthmus, and took passage on an
old English brig, at Panama, to reach
California, for be it remembered there was
no railroad to California until twenty years
afterward. The journey was full of dan
gers and excitement, but Mr. Sylar reach
ed Cassville in safety again.
Ae had a good property, comofrtable
borne and surroundings, until the war
desolated this country and the invader’s
torch laid old Cassville in ashes. He died
in 1871, and to use Mrs. Sylar’s words, -‘lie
was not sick unto death with disease, he
was ‘spirit-crushed’ with the ruin all about
him.”
As w r e watched the nimble fingers of
this aged lady, and listened to her remi
niscences of the past, we decided that
while the sterner sex have more physical
strength, more muscle, and perhaps more
brain, it is a fact that women have more
physical and mental courage to bear afflic
tion, pain and disaster. Mrs. Sylar’s
health is good, her industry is wonderful,
and she bids fair to reach her hundredth
birthday, without an accident.
Any druggist will tell you what he knows
about the merit of Shriner’s Indian Ver

John Aiulerson.
Meeting this esteemed and valuable
citizen, whose face and figure are so fa
miliar to our people, a fow iays ago, we
casually inquired into the leading fact? of
iris history.
He was born the 30th day of Septem
ber, 1814, in Union District, S. G. He
attended school for a short time in that
state when he was quite young. Like
the most of the country boys raised in
that early day, and who were compelled
by their surroundings to labor in the
tarm or work shop, his education was
limited. Ilis father moved from South
Carolina to Newton county, Georgia,
near where Oxford is now located, when
he was a youth. From that point, his
father moved to Cobb county, Ga., in the
year 1836—19 years ago. Ilis father was
a farmer, and our friend was trained to
farm life and farm labor, until he was
21 years old. On reaching this majority,
he says he “rambled for awhile.” Be
coming satisfied he returned to the farm
again. He was married in 1838, finding
his wife near Marietta. Ga. His good
wife still lives, the mother of six chil
dren, three of whom are dead.
After his marriage he settled in Pow
der Springs, Cobb county, and there
learned the trade of a blacksmith, and
worked at that trade for ten yeafs. Hav
ing joined the Methodist church, he was
licensed as a local preacher in the year
1844. He was elected sheriff of Cobb
county in 1852, and as sheriff and deputy
sheriff held that office for eight years.
He was then appointed depot ager.t in
Marietta, and served in that responsible
position for seven years. In 1871 he
moved to Cartersville, Ga., and has been
mayor of this city for two terms *ince he
lias resided with us. He is a whole
souled, generous man, and his kind heart
is ever open to the distresses of others.
He is one of the best singers of his age in
this country, and it is a treat to the wri
ter to hear him start one of the good old
songs of Zion after a refreshing gospel
sermon. He and his enterprising sous
are among the most valuable citizens of
our county, ready for every good word
and work that will help along our prog
ress and prosperity. •

Our Methodist Ladies.
On Saturday the Courant descried an
unusual activity in and about the vicini
ty of the Methodist church. Always on
, the alert tor an Item your reporter wend
ed tier wav thither to find inside the
c hi c i an energetic group of ladies who
were putting .the finishing touche* to
i their latest improvement in the church
arrangements and accommodation*.
There has been some difficulty that could
not be well obviated heretofore, no mat-
ter where the organ and choir were locat
ed. If too far front, it was not exactly
what was wished, and if far in the rear,
the members of the choir were too re
i mote from tne pulpit. So it was sug
gested that an organ loft or gallery should
be throw n out in the rear to be entered
by a flight of steps from the vestibule,
which new gallery would allow addition
al seats for the congregation on the main
floor, and at the same time give the choir
the advantage* they bad vainly sought
hitherto in various arrangements.
The new organ we found already in
position and the iadies were having the
carpet and rail decorations put In place
when we reached them. A late enter
tainment gave them a full pocket for
their cherished undertaking, and a gen
uine- is never jo happy as when
she sees her way clear to making ail ad
dition or improvement she has et her
heart upon. So all were n3 busy as bees
and as happy a larks in th* spring time.
The chorister granted your scribe a trial
long, -and the sweet notes woke the
echoes in the large empty building. The
addition promises thorough satisfaction
as to the volunin of sound, and the choir
will take good care to provide the neces
sary harmony and sweetness in the
muslo.
When your reporter took into conside
ration the dull season of the year as to
finances, the already large contribution
just collected for the new steeple, and
the apparent difficulties that would seem
to attend such an undertaking, w r e came
away impressed with the conviction that
there is no such word as “fail” in the
vocabulary ot our enterprising and indus
trious ladies of Cartersville.

Longfellow says: “The sea iath its
pearls, the heaven hath its stars,” but he
omitted to say anything about the happy
newspaper editor, who chances to have a
delicious dinner sent in just when the day
seemed longest, the proof sheets most
perplexing, and the exchanges duller than
ever, in a vain hunt for next week’s “dots.”
The ‘monotony had scarcely been inter
rupted during the whole forenoon, except
by tlie’frequent., “Didn’t get my Courant
at the office, and you said, always come
here for another when I ’didn’t,” all of
which did not make the time fly past with
happy swiftness, but at last, our “Come in”
was greeted by a bright-faced, colored
damsel, bearing a napkin-covered waiter,
the size of which betokened ample dinner
for even a hungry reporter. “Mrs Brame’s
compliments,” and “She hopes you are
well, ’ ’ had a magical effect on our mental
atmosphere. The long, dusty, three-mile
ride out home, passed out of our mind, the
proofsheets slid off the desk as *f ashamed
of their dullness and assiduity, and the
tired editor took a rest. As we ate we “ru
minated,” to use an /.rp-ism, and the re
flection pressed itself upon our mind that
a sweet thoughtfulness for another’s com
fort, a gentle courtesy gracefully tendered,
was one of the few things in life which
would never be discounted. It would be
hard to tell which was the most acceptable,
the delightful repast or the kindness that
prompted it.

CASSVILLE
Saturday last being decoration day,
was a gala one for old CaS3ville, whose
principal attraction now is her City of
the Dead. The day dawned a bright and
beautiful one with searce one cloud to
dim the brilliancy of the morning sun,
whose genial spring rays, danced over
and decked with loveliness the hills and
vales of the old town. Here on these
beautiful undulating slopes, just twenty
five years ago w'as one of the loveliest
and happiest villages of the Sunny
South. Her entire population of sixteen
hundred inhabitants were devoted to the
place. They were proud of her colleges,
her temple of justice, her churches, her
ministers, her lawyers, proud of her
manly boys and beautiful girls, for
which she was noted far and wide.
Here in this beautiful vale, at the foot
hills of the mountain spurs of the Blue
Ridge nestled in quietness this contented
and happy people, with nothing apa
rantly to disturb their equanimity to mar
their perfect enjoyment. But one year
from that happy period the scene
changes, a dark and threatening wai
cloud suddenly arises in the northern
horizon with vivid lightning flashes
'playing over Its angry surface and low
muttering thunder in the distance pro
tentous of the coming storm of war that
was so soon to sweep over the whob
south with dire destruction death and
ruin. Well do we remember with wha:
calmness and determination every young
and able bodied man in the town and
surrounding country buckled on his ar
mor and started for the field of strife,
with a mother's blessing and a sister’s
fond kiss, some few with a young wife's

long and tender the
crash of armies came, and the result oi
battle alter battle wgs telegraphed home,
bringing poignant grief to many f ind and
anxious hearts. Years of weary maich
ing of bivouacs and fighting passed
slowly by ufitll the llower of our young
southern manhood had been borne home
dead on their shields or buried in un
known and unmarked graves. At last
we succumbed to overpowering numbt r ,
the war was deolared over, and a few of
us, war worn, returned to find ourjhomes
in ashes and nothing to mark the spot
of the beautiful village but blackened
and charred ruins and lone chimneys
standing out in bold relief as sehtiuels of
Sherman’s vandalism. Twenty years
have passed away since that sad period ;
much of the debris oi ruin has been
cleared away and our feelings have toned
down and been mellowed, and to-day we
meet as comrades, as friends and many
as anew generation to pay tribute to the
memory of the gallant dead.
The crowdis large. Rev. T. A. Owens, a
gallant confederate soldier utters a fer
vent prayer of thanks to Almighty Gol
for the memorial services and the tender
remembrance of our people ot the gal
lant dead.
Mr. Jno. W. Akin then in a beautiful
and touching manner introduced Mr.
Walter Ryals to the audience, who de
livered a terse and eloquent oration.
Mr. Ryals has a happy delivery and hi3
talents give proniUe of usefulness and
prominence ifi tkrfuture. The beautiful
scene of decorating the grave* was then
enacted. It was a most impressive one.
The old and the young wandered
through the little green mounds and
placed their fioral tributes on each one
in token of their belief in the justice of
the cause for which these martyrs died
and in remembrance of their gallant
bearing and heroic death.
Cape. Capers, "of
the re'ltiiles and C’apt. Venabie
with an improvised company of the old
war veterans formed near the monument
and after the decoration was over fired
a salute of three rounds in memory and
requiem of the dead. These two compa
nies of soldiers brought to our mind a
vivid picture of the beginning and> close
of the war. The gallant Capt. Capers
with his well drilled company complete
ly uniformed and thoroughly equipped
and armed, represented on memories
tablet our gallant young men of ’6l as
they marched to the front, eager for the
fray, and Capt. Venable with his old
scarred veterans (the participators in
many skirmishes and hard fought bat
tles) lacked but the taettered garments,
the old cartridge box, greasy haversack*,
and faded and bullet pierced banner to
complete the picture of the veterans who
surrendered with Lee at Appomattox and
Johnson at Greensborrough. The day
passed on; in the evening Capt. Capeia
gave a complimentary drill in honor of
the ladies Memorial Association in the
beautiful grove near Chunks Spring.
Many of the visitors from a distance
brought with them their lunch baskets
and pionioked near the spring. A few
of the party were once residents of Cass
ville in her halcyon days and they lin
gered at the old spring around which
cluster some tender reminiseenoes of the
past. It earriedji fe\y baejs^4fr'moon
light walks and whispered words of love
and recalled the happy period of plight
ed vows. Thus the evening passed swiftly
and pleasantly by in conversation free
and unrestrained. It was a day truly to
be remembered by some as it brought
about a reunion of youthful friends and
caused a vivid realization ot how happy
and joyous the past had been.
