STILESHOROS DAY.
A Itlu Crowd and a Bllf Dinner fluid*
Full Sway Saturday.
The annual picnic at Stilesboro came
! oft last Saturday. The day was very
‘ tine and everybody was there. l’he
’ crowd on the grounds was estimated at
I 1,000 people. The dancing hall seemed
to be the center of attraction, both young
and old looking on, and it was almost
i impossible to keep them out of the lines
in order to give room for the calicoes
and ginghams space to swing. The
young dudes cut the high heel and tod
polka very lively. Stilesboro was repre
sented to a unit. Rome was represented
by Mr. J. M. Lee and lady, accompanied
by Misses DeWitt’s, and Mr. Will West
and accomplished sister Miaa Mary.
They added a great deal to the pleasures
of the occasion and we are glad to know
they will be on hand at next year’s picnic.
Cedartown was there, represented by the
beautiful and lovely face* of Misma
Flora Peek, Leila Calhoun, Mattie Wad.
dell and Mollie Young. The sweet and
amiable Mias Lela York, of Marietta,
was there also. Several other places
were reprrgented by young ladies, but
have not space to mentiou all. The mu
sic by Messrs. Bob Shelton, Collins and
Gilreath was the best ever had. We are
glad to see our boys coming out In this
respect. They dispensed very fine mu
sic that night at the residence of Mr. N.
B. Cannon’s, where a small party assem
bled to enjoy themselves in a quiet and
sociable dance, and we must say that this
dance capped the climax, and will be re
membered by all who participated for
time to come.
THE DINNER
was immense. We were surprised when
dinner was announced by Capt. W. T.
Burge. looking at the table you could
see the sweet things and the comforts of
life piled up high, more so than it was
ever known before, and it was surprising
to see what a dinner it was at the present
season and time of year. More than
enough, as was universally admitted, to
feed just twice as many more, Stiles
boro cannot afford for her reputation to
decline, and she fylly demonstrated her
power, one, and all, towards making a
display upon the dinner-table as usual.
Cartersville looks forward to the picnics
every year and always turns out en
masse, and as long as the hospitality and
generosity is shown by the good people
of that community she will be represented
by the happy faces of our young people.
The East & West train was packed and
upon its arrival at Stilesboro most of the
party were carried to the grounds in car
riages and phietons.
The Cartersville and Kookmart little
boys enjoyed themselves in a game of
ball, which resulted in favor of the for
mer, Laying all jokes aside and coming
down to business Charles Patterson is a
sight and added a great deal to the occa
sion ; also Messrs. Drewry and Henry
Stiles, whom were said to be the finest
dancers upon the floor. Among the la
dies it was hard to tell which was the
best. Dr. Cochran did well and swung
the girls to perfection.
Miss Mary West, of Rome, took the
premium as being tha belle of the day.
She is of beautiful figure and a most
graceful dancer.
Messrs. Miles Dobbins and Theo. M.
Smith came down to the dance at night.
Charlie Patterson, that Infantile deli-
cacy, was properly cared for by a consid
erate young lady. On going home from
the dance the idea sjruck iter that dew
and damp atmosphere were very injuri
ous to the hair, and knowing that Char
lie had very litfcle to spare, site persuaded
him to allow her to wrap his cranium up
with her jersey jacket. Charlie, besides
being thus tenderly cared for, is the hap
py possessor of a big bright idea, and
is sorry that lie did not meet with that
young lady before. Grip.

A FINE SERMON,
Communion service was held at the
Presbyterian church Sunday. Rev J. B.
Hillhouse, the pastor, preached from
Exodus, 12th chap ; 26th verse,—
“W.iat mean ye by this service?”
This carries us back five thousand
years to a rude scene, the Jewish feast
of Passover. In every Jewish family
when the passoyer wa3 celebrated, the
youngest son asked the question; “What
mean ye by this service?” The feast of
passover was observed to commemorate
the deliverance of the children of Israel
from Egyptian bondage. When Christ
came He instituted the feast of bread and
wine left over from a passover feast, in
place of the feast to commemorate our
deliverance from the bondage of sin. It
is plain and simple service; there is uo
superstition about it, and no superstition
about our religion at all. The Lord’s
supper is a memorial feast. Every na
tion on the earth know of the deliver
ance of the Jews from Egypt by their
ancient custom of observing the memo
rial feast, while many more important
events in their history ar# forgotten.
Of course no power inheres in the tokens
used, bread and wine, but they are me
morials and tokens of Christ’s love for
us, which He commanded to he observed,
that we may not forget His love. To
kens and memorials need not be imposing
and grand. Any simple token will do
to keep our minds fixed upon the event
commemorated. This is a symbolic ser
vice, an object lesson, designed to teach
a spiritual lesson of the breaking of
Christ’s body and shedding His blood.
It is designed to commemorate Christ’s
death and sacrifice, hence the breaking
of the bread and the wine typefying shed
blood. And, as natural hunger is sat
isfied by bread and tiirist by drink, so
aye we to satisfy our spiritual hunger
and tiirist by feeding on Christ. We
afe all one In Christ, so the service is
called a communion. It is a covenanting
and thanksgiving service, and is called
“Eucharist” which means a thanksgiv
ing. These are not all but the principal
purposes for which Christians celebrate
the Lord’s supper. He then explained
the scripture, “Who soeateth and drink
eth unworthily, etc.,” The occasion of
this utterance was that the Jews had
fallen into the habit of celebrating the
communion after a feast when they had
eaten and drunken too much, thus abus
ing the rite, and so it does not apply to
anv humble, sincere Christian and should
not keep him back from partaking. The
learned gentleman held a large audience
spell-bound during the discourse.

EDUCATION IN BARTOW.
_____
Our Public fiebuot TeMiMrit to iw Trained
at Home.
Agreeable to a call from the County
Board of Education a few teachers of the
county met in Mrs. ltraroe’s school house
in this city last Saturday for the purpose
of organizing a Teachers’ Institute. Col.
Saxon, county school commissioner, was
made chairman and M. B. Tuggle made
secretary. Col. Saxon explained the ob
jects of the Institute in a short but concise
manner, and after the reading of the pa
per every one were satisfied that a great
move for the public good had been inau
gurated, and all took a lively interest
in the proceed!ngs. Our readers would
probably be pleased to know the object*
ami we will endeavor to explain them a*
brief as possible.
It is proposed that the teachers of the
oounty meet here every month ana dis
cuss every subject that tends to the de-
velopment of the profession of teachers.
Every teacher, from time to time will be
provided with a subject upon w’hich he
or she is expected to fully demonstrate.
Thu* the teacher is given a chance to
display his learning to the satisfaction of
the people whose money is paid for the
keeping up ot the public school system.
Everybody is entitled to attend these
monthly meetings and all teachers will
be aliowerf to ask the person who has
the floor any question relative to the
subject under discussion.
It will be seen at a glance that the new
venture is laudable in every detail. It
may he termed a monthly examination
of the school teachers of the county,
where they can fully display their quali
fications as a teacher. Unfortunately,
there were only a few present Saturday,
probably caused by a great many of the
teachers attending the exercises in At
lanta that day or the picnics over the
county. The next meeting will be held
on the 29th of th is month in the We9f
End Institute, this city, when it is hoped
and expected that every public school
teacher in the county will put in an ap
pearance. The cause is for their ad
vancement as well as to the interest of
the people whom they serve.

FJNE FURNITURE.
The North Georgia Cheap FWD'|lire Store
Passes into the Hands of Mr. 8. U.
Vandivere.
Mention was made in our last Issue
that our clever townsman, Mr. H. L.
Vandivere, had purchased the business
and stock of the North Georgia Cheap
Furniture House. Any one acquainted
with the new proprietor know that the
success of the establishment is an as
sured fact, and all were glad that Car
tersville had captured such a live, stirring
business man. The North Georgia
Cheap Furniture House has always had
a fine reputation throughout this section,
and was classed as one of the largest and
most superb affairs of the kind nortli of
Atlanta. It is safe to presume that Mr.
Vandivere will sustain this well-earned
reputation.
The Couii vnt had the pleasure the
other afternoon of hastily glancing over
the establishment and it was surprised
to find an affair of such proportions.
The building has three floors, and every
floor is jammed with first-class
goods. It would take column upon
column to enumerate the entire stock of
fine goods. Everybody likes to look at
fine furniture even if they are not able
to invest. At this establishment the
finest as well as the humblest material
can he found in profusion. Bedroom
suits that would grace the parlors of a
millionaire can be found. A great
amount of money has heretofore been
sent abroad for line furniture under the
idea that tt could not be gotten in this
market. All such ideas will now have
to depart Anybody, we do not cue
how tony they may be, can be fully
pleased at the North Georgia Cheap Fur
niture House, either in prices or quality
of goods. Among the articles we noticed
were an elegant display of parlor furni
ture, carpets that could not be hardly
beaten in beauty and richness, rugs that
were divine, window shades that should
only he used as ornaments, and a whole
mountain of pretty tables, handsome
chairs and whatnots.
The rocking-chairs are really delight
ful to rest in and might justly be termed
the “tidings of comfort and joy.” They
are heavenly and entirely too seductive
for a working man. The line of window
shades is elegant and comprises some
new and novel designs, to which fact we
would call the attention of our house
keepers especially. A nice line of mat
tings have just been opened and marked
up, which are beauties and are only to
be seen to he appreciated. They are
pretty and will not remain in stock long
for they will go like hot cakes. Elegant
offi e furniture can also be found here
and at prices that tartle In fact every
thing that goes to make home beautiful
aud comfortable can he found in the
greatest quantity.
We are glad to note that there is a
feeling among our county people to
sustain county institutions, which is very
gratifying. They have found out that
they can buy as flue goods here as they
can anywhere and at much cheaper
prices. It is an ea-y matter for us to
undersell foreign merchants from the
fact that it does not cost half as much to
carry on bus*ness here as it does in At
-1 in'a or any other city. Taxes are not
so high, rents are cheaper here. There
is no reason why v\e cannot do business
cheap enough here. Our country peo
ple have found it out at last and have
stopped running to other towns to be
duped. They will all take pleasure now
in sustaining the North Georgia Cheap
Furniture House, a strictly home Insti
tution run by a strictly home man.
