LO( LS FROM HAMPTON.
Gathered by One of Our
Correspondents.
Hampton, Ga., May 24.—M. B.
North, who has experienced reverses
from tire and “sword” (thieves.)
jumps up with a bran new stock
goods in the s ' r ' .:;nerly occupied
by D. B. Bivins. G.uc always keeps
his head up the stream and is mighty
hard to down.
The exercises of Berea school
closes for the term Friday night,
with music, recitations, dialogues,
tableaux, etc. All are invited. The

at Adams Pond. Bring your bas
kets full and enjoy a good time.
The Tax Receiver paid his respects
to Hampton for the last time this
year(24) and we know not, it may be
forever. Things change when votes
are counted and don’t you forget it.
The Octogenarian, Uuclc Buck
Fears (as we know him) has a well
dug in 1839, that stood until yester
day, when it ca\ed in above the
curb. He has the same old wooden
rooler, and is now refiting the curb
ing. The yankees can testify as to
the merits of the water. Uncle Buck
feeds both the inner and outer man.
The recent rain3 have made glad
the heart of man, and bids fair to pro

man and beast. It has certainly

pree, ltev. Dr. Bradley officiating,
The bride was dressed in white bro
caded satiu and the groom in a hand
sonao suit of black. J. H. Blood
worth and Miss Maggie McFarland
were attendants.
Mr. Bolton has been living in this
city for several years, and by his
gentlemanly deportment and socia
biiity has made many friends.
Yiiss Willie, the fair bride, is t^e
daughter of F. G. Dupree, living
neir Mt. Zion. She is one of Spald
ing county’s fairest daughters and
the groom is to be congratulated
upon securing the heart and hand of
such an estimablo young lady as a

The happy couple start out under
the most favorable circumstances,

friends in wishing them a long and
happy life.
Gritty Grover.
Washington, May 21.— The presi
dent on Saturday vetoed eight spe
cial pension bills. Seven of them are
vetoed upon the grouod principally
of a lack of merit, or failure to eslab
lisli sufficient grouod for the claim,
but of the eighth the president, after
a caustic review of the evidence pre
seated in support of tho application
save I believe tb s claim for a pen
sion to be a fraud from beginning to
end, and the effrontery with which it
has been pushed shows the necessity
of a careful examination of these
cases.
I Orchard BUI Note*.
Orchard Hill,Ga., May 24.—We
have beer, blessed with a roost gra¬
cious season. A gentle rain fell all
day Sunday and continued on through
the night until the land was thorough
ly saturated and vegetation begins to
have a more life like appearance.
Eveiybody is in high spirits and pre
paring to go with a rush as the
ground is sufficiently dry lo work.
Col. J. D. Cunningham is having
the old store formerly occupied by
Grubbs & Cony moved from the lot
on which it stands in order to build
a new public ginnery and corn mill.
This will add greatly to the looks as
well as the prosperity of our town.
W. W. Grubbs returned home on
Monday from a visit to Southwest
Georgia.
Miss Mittie Thompson returned
home at Milner, on Monday, after
spending several days at the Hill.
The farmers will organize an Alii
ance club at place on Saturday next.
This may be a good thing and a ben
efit to the farmer,but it started a long
ways from home. Let them look
twice and step once. If a farmer
has a good credit, pays his debts and
with but little cash he can buy goods
very near at manufacturer’s prices
without any one to endorse for him.
J. J. Camp who bas been with the
C. R. R. for some time past, bas re
turned to his farm. He says there
is nothing like the farm.
The little girls of our town can be
seen most every afternoon out horse
back riding. This seems to be a
source of much enjoyment to the lit
tie ladies.
We hope to give the News the
best crop report that we have had for
years in few weeks and it won’t be
a butchers or cucumber tale either,
Ju»ge.
AT HOME.
Stonewall No. 2 and Griffin No. 1 Re¬
turns.
A majority of our gallant fire boys
arrived home safely yesterday on the
up passenger due here at 11:31, in
the best of spirits, notwithstanding
their &:feat at Atnericus. Our fir*
men rarely get left on such occasions,
and the company that “downs” them
in a foot race certainly deserves cred
it. They are loud in their praise of
the hospitality of the Americus de
partment—nothing was left undone
to add to the enjoyment and pleasure
of all companies present, for which
they have the universal thanks of the
Griffin Fire Department. Long may
they live.
