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.

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 mifuge the popular remedy. * Beautiful lot Satteen Dress Goods 25c, worth 50c at Jones Bros. & Cos. 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. • Compare 31 y Prices For this week anti ask yourself if it is but justice to patronize me: 17 lbs nice Light Brown Sujar for *I.OO 14“ BestGrann'.at-ed Shjrar for 1.00 IS “ Best Wime Graia litcc for 1.00 40 “ Beat Grits for 1.00 30“ Best Starch (blue papers 1.00 10 “ Beat Leaf Lard for 1.00 G “ Levering# Roasted Coffee for 1.00 6 “ Best Roasted Coffee, in bulk for 1.00 Bast O.

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. PINE LOG. Crops are backward here. Pine Log was well represented on de coration day. L.

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 j THREE STORES IN OWE.

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. Scribbler. HALL’S MILL. The farmers around Hall’* are fully up with their work. Have nearly all ploughed out their corn the first time, and some are working in their cotton. A great many had to plant corn over on ac count of the bud worms killing it out. The corn is very backward at this place this year. The small grain crop is al9o backward. Oats are not doing anything searcely. Wheat is heading out a little in some places. Miss Mollie McElroy has once more returned home from Cassville, and sorry to say she was quite sick while away from home. Since the do, ra, me, singers have quit coming to Mt.
