CARROLLTON, GA., July 4, ’84
American Enterprise.
No invention of the nineteenth
century has worked a greater rev
olution in household economy or
confered more of a benefit on hu
manity than the sewing machine.
The first productions were crude
and uncouth in the extreme, and
it was reserved for American skill
and ingenuity to bring forth a ma
chine of any practical value.
In order to appreciate the great
advancement which has taken
place it is only necessary to com
pare one of the machines built du
ring the infancy of the invention
with the latest improved “Light-
Running New Home.”
All the really good points con
tained in other machines have
been utilized in its construction.
Many new improvements and de
vices have been added, the result
of which is a machine as nearly
perfect as it is possible to make
one.
For simplicity, durability, ease
of management and capacity for
work, the “Light-Running New
Home” has no rival, and the happy
possessor of one may rest assured
that he or she has the very best the
world affords.
All who send for the company’s
new illustrated catalogue, and en
close their advertisemenl (printed
on another page) will receive a set
of advertising novelties, of value to
collectors Their address is, NEW
HOME SEWING MACHINE CO.,

a postal card to the Secretary or
the President, they will be supplied.
Brethren let us give our best eff
orts to this work, and then let us
expect that God will do his part

Mayor Gaston held an immense

As the Editor of the Free Press
is confined pretty closely to liis otfi

bliged to parties knowing of local
happenings or having personal or
society items, to hand them in at
the office, or to him when upon the
streets.
Captain J. B. Martin, a well
known citizen of this county, has
three very industrious and proli
lie hens that are now carrying 99
littles helpless chicks. No. 1. has 25,
No. 2.28, and No. 3.48. If anybody
has anything in the chicken line
that beats this, the nextjthing in or

A petition signed by fifty three
names has been handed the ordi

requres 15 names, and it is quite
probable that an-election will be
held at an early day, say about the
middle of August.
From a circular just issued by
Mr. T. W. Dimmock, we learn that
there will be a district Sunday

Mr George Reaves living in the
neighborhood of Bethel school
house had the misfortune to lose
his little boy last week. The child
was only two years old, but his de
parture was the occasion of intense
grief to the parents. Indeed, so
intense was the grief of Mr Reaves
as he sat in the shadow of that
affliction that his friends became
alarmed that he might not be able
to endure it. The parents have
our sympathy.
George Merrell in Haralson Ban
ner: “Children are funny things. I
was hunting for the hammer not
long since, and was getting out of
patience. After enquiring of the
chaps who of course knew nothing
about it, my little Ruth (4 years old)
looked np into my face, aud beam
ing with a smile as bright and soft
as heaven, said Pa, I know where
the hammer is.” I patted her on the
head and told her she was the
smartest one of the-whole lot, and
then I asked her, “where is it, hon
ey?” to which she replied: “It’s
lost!” That settled it.
The Hon. Henry R. Harris of
Meriwether county was in town on
last Tuesday and made a speech in
interest of the New ©rleans ex
position. His speech was listened
to with the closest attention by
the large audience present and
made a good impression. He urged
upon the people of this county the
importance of being represented
at that exposition. He paid Car-
roll the compliment of saying that
no other county in the district ex
ceeded, it in resources to make a
display excepting perhaps Musco
gee, and her superiority was in
her manufacturing inter
ests.

Stripling’s Chapel.
Reported by Wall.
Notwithstanding last Sunday
was a very unfavorable day quite
a large crowd assembled at Strip-
pling’s chapel. The singing was
organized by electing Prof. G W
Davenport chairman and W. A.
Lyle secretary. F. A Martin and
G. W. Davenport led 30 minutes
each after which one hour was
given for refresment. In the after
noon music was conducted by Mr.
—^Spence, G. AY. Davenport, J. A.
Lyle and F. A. Martin. AVe were
glad to have such singers as Doc
New, Allen Gardner and Jim Hug-
nins from Carrollton with us. Mr.
New was appointed with J. A. Lyle
and J. H. Rogers as arranging
committee. Had some good sing
ers with us from Lowell and Old
Camp ground.
On last Saturday morning a mad
dog passed along the road by Mr.
AV. M. Lyle’s. D. L. Lyle and Jim
Goodman started after him and was
soon joined by several others along
the road. After running him some
two miles he was shot and killed
by Doc Bryant. The boys declare
that it was a genuine mad dog.

AVe heard some of the old settlers

damages and some say that it was
the hardest rain that has fallen
there in several years.
Air. Tommie Darden made 235
bushels of wheat, the largest crop

AVe had the pleasure of meet

cil pushers of the Free Press,
when from those ranks we missed
so many that were stricken down
by bullet and disease. The occasi

“The days are long and dark and dreary
It rains aud rains and is never weary"
Rainy weather, muddy roads,
grassy corn patches and cotton
fields, despondent farmers, discour
aged merchants who have been run
ning the credit system, and a dis
heartened teacher with about a
dozen students are objects of daily
observation in our town.
The ground has been too wet to
plow for more than a week and it
continues to rain almost incessant
ly. General Green will certainly
be a most formidable foe with the
farmers in this vicinity. Some of
our farmers who have not had their
wheat threshed are apprehensive
of it spoiling if the rain continues
much longer.
Alessrs. Brock & Chance are now
erecting buildings necessary for
running a steam saw mill in this
place, and will be ready for busi
ness in a short time. They are go

understand. A new street which
is needed is being^ laid Off and
w orked out from Air. Griffith’s res
idence across the rail road and in
tersecting the public road near the
residence of Dr. Rowe.
Notwithstanding last Sunday
was a rainy day some of the young
men of Temple who never allow
themselves to be disappointed at

OTTH. SCHOOLS.
Closing Exercises of the Spring Sessions
of the Carrollton Female School and
Carroll Masonic Institute.
This is the season of the year
that the schools of the country gen
erally give their closing exercises,
and in conformity to that custom
our schools have held their exhibi
tions during the past week.
On last Friday night an immense
audience assembled at Reese’s ac
ademy to witness the exhibition of
Airs. Slade’s school. Indeed there
w r as a perfect jam, and it may as
will be said here as elsewhere that
the very worst of disordor char
acterized the entire performance.—
It is a wonder that the perform-
It
tions, where the parties did not
have their parts w ell memorized,
were gone through with in good
style. Three or four of the stu
dents, we thought exhibited, un-
sual talent for acting. At about
11 o’clock the exercises closed with
a very laughable farce, “Another
Arrangement” which seemed to
a muse the audience immensely.
The music of the occasion was
furnished by Alisses C'appie Aler-
rell and Alollie Sims on the organ,
assisted by Alessrs Reese, Carl
ton, Alerrell and Johnson, on vio
lins. They made it lively, and the
audience appeared to appreciate it
very much.
Baptist Centennial,
To the Pastors and AIinisters
of the Carrollton Association.
Dear Brethern:—In pursance of
the resolution passed at the last
meeting of our Association, with
reference to the centennial meeting
of the Georgia Association, and the
endowment of Alercer University,
I have thought proper to call a
meeting of the ministers, and oth-r
ers of the brethren who may wish
to attend, to convene with tlie First
Baptist church at Carrollton on the
15th day of September, at 11 o’clock,
a. m. Let the pastors lay this mat
ter before their churches at once;
so that from the several reports,
we may make one general report
for the Association, and consult al
so, as to tbe bestmethod for complet
ing the w'ork as set forth in the re
solution above refered to. ' Hope
the brethren will meet us promp
tly and cheer us with favorable re
ports.
Yours in the work,
J. AI. Muse, Aloderator.

AVe could write a long letter
about the rain and probable conse
quences but guess every one knows
too much about that now to want to
hear any more of it. AVheat
threshing is being done between
showers. The wheat has to be
spread thin on floors to keep from
heating. Everybody who has
wheat seems anxious to have it
threshed. Guess bright and clean
wheat straw will be scarce next
winter. This would have been a
good year to dig gold on the surf
ace mines, and some are improv
ing the cloudy hours in searching
for the precious dust. Air AVeb-
ster has a new large engine at his
works and expects to increase the
working force according with
good prospect of reaping goos re
sults. He has a good view and
with the right kind of machinery
will make it pay. There are pla
ces enough round here for a half a
dozen such mills and the time is
not far off when they will all he
utilized.
All the preparations have been
made for the Sunday school festi
val tomorrow night. The mana
gers contemplate a grand success.
The organ has arrived and was
used yesterday by the school. It
adds much to the interest of the
children.
But little business is being done
of any kind at tins time. Even
the Blackberry brigade are disor
ganized, still they, get in with a
supply once in a while. This place
has develoded into a good Fruit
market. Apples and Peaches are
brought in daily and ~ command
good Quinces. The result of this
will be, that some one will start
a Fruit Farm, and whoever gets
the go in this line will get the
prize,
Yellow Dirt.

must be difficult to arrange and
carry out anything like a credita
ble programme before an unappre
ciative and boisterous house, and
such appeared to be a large part of
the audience on last Friday night
Still with one exception, the entire
programme was gone through with
and taken altogether the exhibition
was quite a creditable one.
We have not the space to enter
into minute details of the varied
exercises. One among the first
pieces was the New Year’s Drama
a spectacular affair, representing
the departure of the old and the
ushering in of the new year. This
was very creditably performed.—
Then followed recitations by Aliss
es Alamie Rhudy, Ollie Austin and
Lora Alerrell, which were well ren
dered. Grandfather’s Birthday,
an Operatta, was gay and rollick
ing, representing the old
gentleman as quite interested
in the welfare and pleas
ure of his numerous progeny. Re
citation by Aliss Carrie Austin and
Alaster Johnie Perdue would have
been more appreciated, under more
favorable circumstances. A Mod
el Sermon by Aliss Lena AVells was
a splendid specimen of sermonie
redundancy. Evening on the
Farm was a poetic representation
of rural life true to nature, and
Aliss Phena Robinson was very
happy in her representation of the
persistent cow boy in hailing
faithfully “Bloss” to the side of the
waiting milk maid. Ber
nardo Del Carpio, a recitation
by Aliss Fannie Ponder was ren
dered amid such confusion as to
entirely lose its effect. The Calis
thenics excersises evinced a degree,
of painstakingby the preceptor and
proficiency on the part of the pu
pils. Recitation, An Order for a
Picture by Aliss Eula Hood was a
good piece well rendered as was al
so the Recitation and Tableau
“John Anderson, my Jo” by Aliss
Dollie Barrrett, Aliss Georgia Bon
ner and Alaster Charlie Rhudy.
Aliss Laura Alorgan’s recitation of
Archie Dean came too late in the
evening to catch the ear of the au
dience and while it was altogether
a creditable renilitionTell with little
effect upon those to whom lis
tening had become a painful bur
den. After a quarrel between
Brutus and Csssius, by Alasters
Stephen Harris and Lester Slade
in which the pronunciations were
too rapid for effect the curtains fell
upon the last scene.
The hands of the clock stood
near together pointing upward,
when the house was cleared and
the belated amusement hunters
wended their homeward way.
CARROLL MASONIC INSTITUTE.
The entertainment of the little
folks of the above Institute came off
on Tuesday evening and the large
chapel was packed with the most
orderly and well behaved audi
ence, we have ever seen assembled
on a similar occasion. Everybody
was w r ell seated and all seemed to
enjoy and appreciate the occasion.
Through the courtesy of Prof. S. J.
Brown, we were furnished with a
seat, near the stage, where we had
a good opportunity of witnessing
the exercises, which consisted
chiefly of declamation and short di
alogues. AVe believe, we but
voice the sentiment of all when we
say, that the declamation did
great credit to the little folks.
With one or two exceptions they
had their pieces well memorized
and they were spoken well. The
dialogues were also well delivered.
Our space will not permit us to par
ticularize, as we should like to do.
Sufficient to say that every one that
we conversed with were well
pleased and the exhibition of the
little folks, as well as the good or
der preserved was the theme of
general congratulation among the
friends of the Institute throughout
the next day.
On Thursday night the larger
students of the school gave their
exhibition. Again the house was
crowded, but good order prevailed,
and the occasion passed off quite
pleasantly. The exerbises as in
the preceding night cons isted prin
cipally of declamation and dia
logues. Owing to their length we
are again compelled to desist from
particularizing. We did intend to
mention the speakers, whose dec
lamation, we thought was excee
dingly good, but where all did so
well we have concluded to re
