RHODES, * 1 S5 Whitefialf St, Atlanta Gal FBOM OUB OOBBE8PONDBNT8. Mr. EditorSenoia received and ship ped her first bale of cotton on the 23d inst. It was raised by Mr. Lather Hardy and sold to W. H. Ferguson & Co. It classed strict low middling and brought Sf cents. Mr. Hardy is an eneTgetiC, successful young former, and we will say for the benefit of some fair reader that he is wholly unencumbered. A very distressing accident occurred near the depot here last Monday after noon. Mr. Wiley Hancock; of Cham bers county, Ala., was visiting relatives and friends here. On the afternoon in question he was passing near the depot in a two-horse buggy just as the train for Carrollton was moving off. The horses became frightened and ran with great force against the side of an old wooden building that stands opposite the depot on the north side of the street. A piece of weatherboarding, projected from the side of the building, the end of which pierced the breast of one of the horses to the depth of eigh teen or twenty inches. Fragments of liver came with the torrent of blood that flowed from the wound; and yet, strange to say, the animal stood upon its feet nearly four hours, when it fell to the ground and soon expired. Much sympathy was expressed for Mr. Han cock in the loss of his horse, whose sor row was intensified, if possible, by the fact that it was a preseut to him and very highly prized on this account. Messrs. J. B. Goodman and Arthur Sasser are off to Atlanta. Mr. Stibbins Brantly, who has been on a visit to his parents here, left Tuesday for his Florida home. Mr. J. T. Stilwell has returned to Montezuma. Mr. Westbrook, of Montezuma, is spending some time with friends here. Quite a number of our citizens at tended the camp-meeting at Mt. Zion last Sunday. A protracted meeting is now in prog ress at the Baptist church, and a good state of feeling exists which will, we trust, be followed with gratifying re sults. senoia’s business condition, out look, ETC. As the business season is now upon us we have thought that it might be a mutter of interest to give a sort of summary of the business condition, prospects, etc., of our town. The amount of mercantile investments cov ering the annual trade of the place will probably reach $300,000; and I am grat ified to be able to say that the outlook for the coming season is such as to im bue our merchants with a feeling of confidence and encouragement that we have never before observed. The ter ritory properly belonging to Senoia is extensive and will average at least ten miles in every direction. The pro ductiveness of the section referred to is far above the average, and is occu pied by thrifty, energetic farmers. Se noia is the natural trade centre of this territory, and will make a determined effort this season not only to control the trade that naturally belongs to her, but will make encroachments upon the territory that has hitherto been tribu tary to other points. Our merchants are solid, enterprising business men and will offer such inducements as cannot fail to give prominence to the town, both as a trading and selling market. We give below a brief mention of our leading houses, together with a list of the clerical assistants employed in each establishment: Hand & Lindsey will soon occupy their new store, when they expect to carry a stock of general merchandise worth $15,000 or $20,000. They have two clerks, Messrs. Wiley Hand and Biles, both clever and accommodating young gentlemen. J. T. Jones, dealer in general mer chandise, will remain at his old stands He is aided by Mr. J. B. Brantley, a for mer merchant of long experience. M. H. Couch is occupying one of the rooms in his own building and will soon open up a fine and well-selected stock of dry goods and groceries. Mr. W. J. Cock, who has had considerable expe rience in the mercantile business, will be with him. W. H. Ferguson & Co. are at Couch’s old stand. They propose carrying a twenty-thousand-dollar stock of gener al merchandise, and in addition thereto will buy cotton. Messrs. W. B. Ed wards, Jr., and A. G. Couch are the clever attaches of the establishment, who are ready to give polite attention to their customers. Atkinson Bros, occupy the large brick store on the corner and are filling up daily with new goods of everj de scription. Messrs. Walter Mallory and G. K. Mallory, recently of Virgin ia, will be on hand during the season to attend to the wants of the trading pub lic. Hutcheson & Roberts have a large and choice assortment of merchandise, of every description, and are fully pro*, pared to meet the varied wants of their] customem' Mr. J. G. Addy has huT headquarters here and will be prepared to serve his friends when they need anything in the dry goods or grocery line. Sasser &Bro.—both young men, good and true—have lately launched forth into the mercantile business and are making preparations for a heavy foil trade. Thongh one of oar youngest firms, they have all the map and vim necessary to make a success of their ven ture, and are forging ahead with an en ergy that leaves no doubt as to what the result will be. Mr. Lee Arnall is second in command of this establish ment, and a fine lieutenant he makes. J. H. McKnight, on the east side of Main street, has a large and Well-se lected stock of fancy and family gro ceries, and is one of our best chants. r - f n R. R. Methvin carries the as fee hat of good% and is as popular ae been successful. McLane & Shepherd. 19 9 new firm; though both are experienced fc busi ness and have much to commend them to popular favor. They will deal ex clusively in fancy and family groceries, of which they will carry a large stock. One has a young wife, and the other would like to have one. We have also two drug stores—J. M. Couch & Co. and W. F. Culpepper & Co. Both are well-kept establishments and do a fine business. Mrs. C. A. Green has one of thp lar gest and most fashionable establish ments in this section of the State and sells feminine finery in all the region hereabout. She has also a dressmaking department, which is as modish as it is popular. There are other business interests here that will claim our attention later. Have neither space nor time to say more now. Vincent. Aug. 31st. Ibm ’quarter. The general meeting at Beth- Turin. Mr. Editor:—The sad intelligence reaches us that Mr, Orin Jones, of Zeb- ulon, Pike county, is dead. For a num ber of years Mr. Jones lived among us and did business in the town, identify ing himself with us in the various inter ests of the community—so much so that his death is regarded here as a common bereavement. He w T as an exemplary member of the Methodist church, illus trating in a most commendable manner the doctrines he professed. He led an upright, godi^y life. As a citizen he was just, kind and true, ever lending his influence for the upbuilding of so ciety and the general good of the sec tion in which he lived. His death is deeply deplored in the community. In this connection, it is my painful duty to chronicle the death of Mr. Charlie McLane, which occurred at his father’s residence in the Sixth dis trict on Friday morning last, in the 18th year of his age. This young man had given his heart to God, and when the solemn summons came 1 e was prepar- pared to exclaim—“My hopes of the future are bright and my way is clear.” He was a member of the Baptist church and was greatly beloved by all who knew him. God bless the stricken family, is my sincere prayer. The meeting at Sharpsburg closed on Friday last. Seven new members were received into the church, both by ex perience and baptism. Rev. Mr. Hudson, of Line Creek church, baptized three candidates on Sunday last, and married Mr. Phillip Knowles to Miss Fannie Brown. Rev. Wm. Hunnicutt and wife left for their home in Mississippi one day last week. Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt is on a visit to Athens. Mr. Wm. Ragsdale is happy over his first born. Mr. Blake Shell is making brick by the thousand in Turin. Mr. Wilbur Jones, of Fayette county, has bought the residence occupied by Mr. Cole and will shortly move his fam ily into the same. He will engage in business with Mr. Cole. Mr. John Summers will stand behind the counter at the brick store during the coming season. i over, except on bottom lands. Most of our fanners have saved a nice lot of fodder. We are forced to admit that the cot ton crop in our community is very short. A few weeks ago we were persuaded that crops of all kinds were better and more promising than at any time since the war; but we have since traveled from your city to Randolph county, Ala., and find ample cause to change oar opinion. This is propitious weather for sor ghum-making. Prof. H. H. Cook’s school is in a flour ishing condition and gaining ground every day. We have attended a number of big meetings this summer and are gratified at the evidences of contentment and religious awakening apparent in every el. Beard county, was one of the most enjoyable gatherings that I ever at tended. The introductory sermon was preached on Friday morning; 19th inst., by Rev. R. H. Jackson. Services were conducted at 2 p. m. by Bro. A. B. Brown. Preaching on Saturday at 11 A. m. by Rev. W. H. Houston; at night by Rev. N. B. Clark; at 11 a. m., Sun day, by Dr. J. H. Hall. Basket dinners were enjoyed each day. The attend ance on Sunday exceeded one thousand. An effort is being made to establish a Primitive Baptist church one mile north of Cooksville. We have just returned from the free State of Alabama, where the leading products are one-legged chickens, bald- headed niggers and razor-back hogs. The people in the eastern portion of the State are expecting two new rail roads, and the prospects are favorable for their construction. Hale. Aug. 30th. Mr. J. L. Rees shot and killed an owl the other day that measured four and ^ half & rf the goodhthfois of that hr Sixth District. Mr. Editor:—The August meeting at Ebenezer church was protracted three days and four persons were added to the membership. The pastor, Rev. R. C. Rhodes, was assisted during the time by Rev. G. W. Colquitt and Rev. J. J. Farmer. It would be hard to find a minister in the Western Association who has done more good and gained a firmer hold upon the confidence and captured the affections of his congre gations than Rev. R. C. Rhodes. Dur ing a comparatively short administra tion at Ebenezer about thirty members have been received into the church; all differences between the members have been harmonized, and the church is in a far better condition, spiritually, than for a long time. Mt. Lebanon church protracted the August meeting several days and seven were added to the church, all by bap tism. Rev. Elim Culpepper, the pas tor, was assisted during the entire time by Rev. J. J. Farmer. The latter will return at an early day to his studies at the Baptist Theological University at Louisville, Ky., and the prayers and good wishes of a host of friends accom pany him. Charlie McLane, the seventeen-year- old son of Mr. Sidney McLane, died on Friday morning last and the remains were interred the day following at White Water church, in Fayette coun ty. Charlie was emphatically a good boy, an obedient child, a member of Ebenezer Baptist church and Sabbath- school, and leaves a bright evidence that all was will with him as he enter ed the Great Beyond. The tenderest sympathies of the communnity go out to the family in this their sore bereave ment. Mr. N. J. Overby is quite sick; also, a Mr. Sliarrick and child, living on Col. G. I. Wilson’s place. The Sharpsburgers sustained their reputation for hospitality during the late protracted meeting. The sun - in his daily run around this little globe of ours does not shine upon a more gener ous class than the denizens of this plucky little town. The latch-string hung upon the outside of every door. Fortunate, indeed, was that visitor who found lodgment in the hospitable home of that venerable couple, Mr. and Mrs. Miles Jones. Your good correspondent did not tell a half feet from tip to tip. Cotton is opening rapidly, and sever al new bales have been sold in this mar ket already. President Elder and his company have started up two gins and will soon increase the number, as the work may demand. That controversy between Editor Revill and CoL Martin is either a big thing or a mighty little one—1 can’t tell which. Mr. J. J. Farmer, our clever Tax Re ceiver, has been quite sick for several days. Mr. Newt Farmer would have been but for the fact that he has a new boy at his house. Messrs. Arthur Argo and Cleve Kin- nard, two of Newnan’s cleverest young men, visited friends in Turin this week. Aug. 30th. H- A. T. Cooknlll*. Mr. Editor:—Fodder-pulling ii about comparable barbecue at Mr. W. B. Orr’s, yet he was mistaken when he says it was a drawn contest between the big eaters. It does injustice to our man, for Col. Brewster certainly sung out, “Let us quit.” In his after-dinner talk on farming, CoL Brewster convinced his hearers that he knew more about farming than either Furman or David Dickson. Is he a candidate for Congress, or is he figuring before the “dear people” for Commissioner Henderson's berth ? The Sixth is unanimous for him, for either place. Saluda. Aug. 31st. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—Times rather doll in these “diggins’.” Good deal of sickness. Several of my neighbors are laid np with one sort of complaint and another. Among those referred to are Mrs. Summerlin, Mis. B. R. Sewell and Mrs. Jas. Alsabrook. It is a new boy at Mr. C. H. New ton’s. I will relate one of the most singular snake truths on record. One day last week the one-year-old child of Mr. Jesse Gurley, while sitting out in the yard, gathered up a snake about six inches in length and put it to its mouth, and had succeeded in swallowing about half o' in when Mrs. Gurley discovered th» snake’s tail wiggling in the child’s mouth and ran to it. She tried to puli the snake out, but could not for feai of pulling it in two. Finally she in serted her forefinger into the child’- throat and succeeded in withdrawing the reptile, which she promptly dis patched. The child screamed until i! came near going into convulsions though it has since recovered. Margaret, wife of Riley Parks, col ored, died of consumption last Sunday. She was a good woman, and leaves sev eral helpless children. J. A. Hyde and Walter Haase wil! start a new steam gin at Mrs. Marth;i- lin Hyde’s at an early day. Cotton is opening rapidly. Road-working is the order of th*‘ day this week. “Ripples” will close his music sehoi at Macedonia on the third Sunday ii. September, beginning on Thursday be fore. Several noted vocalists w3J b. present. The public generally is 1 in vited. Let all come and bring well filled baskets. The editor and attache' of The Herald and Advertiser m cordially invited. Mr. John Dukes is sick. Uncle Billy Cook has a sick famih. Mr. E. C. Palmer's baby is quite sick. Mrs. Wm. Edwards is very low. We are having an unusual amount o sickness throughout this section. I wa ns sick as a little mule myself las; week. I could only mince down si.\ biscuits, half of a fried chicken an* 1 three cups of coffee at a meal. Would say to brother “Arden,” 1 can’t attend all the singings, pic-nics, etc., and go to mill, too. Dr. J. R. Sewell is kept busy day am; night, attendiug the sick. He is one o our most successful practitioners. Grandma Jones is very low and can not live much longer. Can any man foresee the end of tin- present session of the Legislature ? 11 would seem that they waut to mak- laws for the next thousand years t<> come. How long, dear legislators—(), how long—will you hold on? Aug. 30th. Ripples. Boscoe. Mr. Editor:—An the mornings grow cooler we realize that autumn is cominu, upon us. Farmers are about done pulling their early fodder. Cotton is maturing ven fast, and from present indications tin crop w r ill be very short in this section. I have no desire to tell snake talcn against anyone; but I must relate what really did happen. One day last week Mrs. J. E. Lang happened to notice tin- strange actions of some chickens near the house, which excited her curiosity, and upon going out to see what was the matter she found a nest of ground rat tlesnakes. There were seven of then —an old one and six young ones. The same week, while Mrs. Jessie Gurley was stringing beans for dinner she happened to notice her little baby who was sitting on the ground near her, and it had a snake nearly down its throat. She was very much frightened and snatched the snake out of the child’s mouth; otherwise it might have swal lowed the reptile. I have not learned what kind of a snake it was. Thu child’s mother does not know how it got the snake, unless it was in the bas ket of beans. Mrs. W. R. Edwards, who has been very low with typhoid fever, is improv ing slowly. All the other sick people in the community are convalescent. Mr. J. L. Haskins and daughter, of Campbellton, Ga., paid relatives and old friends in our vicinity a visit last week. There is a certain young physician at Roscoe who is troubled very much about one of his patients up the road; but it is a trouble of the heart and not of the brain. He is quite attentive, and you can ask him what success he i> hiivins* I think that the prohibition bill, as introduced by Hon. J. C. Mixon, meet v the approbation of the people general ly', as I have heard no objections raised. However, I would like to suggest on* amendment, and that is that the par ties who sell the whiskey be appointee by the County Commissioners msteat of the Ordinary. With all due respect to our honorable Ordinary, I think Ht; five men are more competent to main this selection than one; and farther- more, one man should be relieved af Hurrah for “Uncle Ripples” anc “Boyles’ Neighbors;” but the “Ora cle’s” advice to the former is to stay ae this side of the river. The _ “Oracle*" has predicted a glorious victory fe “Bro. Ripples,” provided he adopts thr , same plan that the little boy did wt whipped the alligator, and thatpta was to go around the alligator and wot meet him. OmACUL Aug. 31st.
