Mr. Editor:—Having been in attend
ance upon the meeting of the Western
Baptist Association, I have thought it
might be of interest to your readers to
present a few notes and observations
made by the way.
Reaching Judge Cock’s, near Senoia,
we were asked to help ourselves to as
many fine English grapes as we desir
ed. This delicious fruit w r as most
abundant. The Judge has a fine vine
yard, and a choice variety of other
fruits when the seasons hit.
Here a brother was taken along, who
seamed to be on the hunt for a missing
rib, but with what success I am unable
to report.
Reaching Warnerville, Meriwether
i county, a pleasant night was spent with
j Mr. Joseph AIcKnight and his aged
j mother. Air. McK. exhibited to your
correspondent a copper badge which
he found a short time since in his field,
and which had been thrown to the sur
face by the plow. The medal is in
scribed on one side as follows:
“THK EKOFLK’S CIIUICE.
TB* HERO OF TIPPECANOE.”
Aad on the other—
"MAJ. «EX. W. H. HABSISOX;
ROHE
run. 9th, 1773.”
This carries us back to the heated po
litical campaign of 1840 whenGeu. Har
rison was elected President of the
United States by the old Whig party.
Doubtless a few are now living who
engaged in that contest and shouted
“Kferrah for Old Tippecanoe !^-coon-
skin and log cabin.” During the war
of 1812 Gen. Harrison gained a decided
victory over the Indians at Tippecanoe,
and this success furnished the basis of
his candidacy for the -Presidency in
later years. I wonder if my old friend,
Benj. Leigh, remembers that far back
and could review the political issues
that were discussed in that memorable
campaign'(
Leaving Warnerville, we passed
through the thriving village of Oak
land, where the honored mother of
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson resides.
A little farther on and the Associa
tion is reached, and then the meeting
of delegates and shaking of hands fol
lows. But, alas ! some who had often
gathered with the hosts of God in their
annual convocations were missing,
• many of whom are now mingling with
j the ransomed hosts on the bright and
i shining shore.
J During the associational year the for-
! tv-three churches comprising the West-
: e’rn Association baptized 232 members,
j The churches contributed liberally to
j the support of the work of the Asso
ciation. A number of able reports
were read in favor of the objects prose
cuted by the churches.
Able sermons were preached during
the meeting by the following ministers:
Dr. Cousins, Dr. Hall, I)r. McCall, Dr.
Ford, and others of equal ability.
Newnan was well represented in
having so much legal ability, to-wit:
Rev. J. B. S. Davis, Col. A. D. Free
man and Col. H. A. Hall.
The good people of Friendship com
munity were fully equal to the occa
sion, and extended liberal hospitality
to the thousands that were present.
The crops in that section are report
ed below an average —cotton especially.
Air. John Summers, of Turin, is erect
ing a new residence on Gay street.
Prof. Allen has suspended his School
for a short time.
Deputy Collector L. T. Moses was
with his family on Sabbath last. Also
finding a little work in these parts that
needed attention, he promptly attend
ed to it.
A Baptist church will be constituted
at Starnsville on Saturday and Sunday,
29th and 30th inst,, by the following
ministers, viz: Rev. E. Culpepper, Dr.
I. G. Woolsey and Rev. H. S. Rees.
The public are cordially invited to be
present and witness the ceremony.
Oct. 11th, R. A. T.
Wonder how the Atlanta folks found
out that we were dealing in ’possums ?
We have received orders for several
this season. Atlanta is a great* town.

Mr. Editor:—Mr. Jasper Lang’s lit
tle boy was bitten in the hollow of his
foot a few days ago by a ground-rattle-
snake. I)r. Starr made an incision with
his lancet between the abrasions
left by the fangs of the viper, and
by the application of other remedies
succeeded in extracting the virus. The
little fellow was quite sick for about
eight hours from the effect of the bite,
but is now up and doing well. I am
no doctor, but in cases like this believe
if cupping were resorted to much of the
poison could be extracted when ap
plied to the wounds.
I learn that there were four or five
mad-dogs in theneighborhood of Coun
ty-Line church, Carroll county, last
week, and that one of the dogs bit Air.
Ben Head on the leg. Air. Head is re
ported to be quite uneasy about the
bite, and much anxiety is felt by his
friends.
The whooping-cough is almost epi
demic in this vicinity. Even the dogs
are taking it.
Dr. J. B. Sanders left last week to
attend medical lectures at the South
ern Medic?,! College, Atlanta. Dr. Lee
Boynton will leave this week for the
same college.
The shortness of the cotton crop has
resulted in a reduction of the price of
ginning. Air. J. M. Glass, I under
stand, is ginning for 75 cents per bale.
I suppose all cotton prepared for
market must weigh 4QQ pounds per bale,
or a reduction is made by the buyer of
about one-fourth of a cent per pound.
I am told this is the latest cotton law.
Well, it is a poor rule that can’t he
worked from both ends. The farmer
carries his cotton to market, and if his
bale weighs less than 400 pounds he
lacks 25 cents per hundred of getting
the market price; but if he buys 10
pounds of meat, sugar, coffee, salt,
nails, or a 25-lb. sack of flour he has to
pay from one to two per cent, higher
than if he bought by the 100 pounds.
Messrs. Henry Dyer and G. L. War
ren are rejoicing at the thought of
there being two more grandsons of
William and Joseph.
On the 6th inst., at the residence of
Mr. J. C. Sewell, J. P. Reese, Esq., offi
ciating, Mr. J. S. Edwards was united
in marriage to Miss Sarah Lang. No
nicer couple ever graced the hymeneal
altar, and their hosts of friends will
join us in wishing for them a long life
of prosperity and happiness. The bri
dal couple, with a few relatives and
friends, were tendered a pleasant re
ception by Afr. and Mrs. A. J. Sewell,
which was enjoyed by every one pres
ent. The supper was duly investigated
by your vigilant correspondent.
Thanks to Air. C. H. Newton for a
jug of nice syrup, of his own make.
Dr. Barrett has consented to serve
the Baptist church at Macedonia for
the ensuing associational year.
Dr. Barrett preached the funeral of
Afiss Ninie Davis at Macedonia last
Sunday. Quite a large crowd of rela
tives and friends attended and the ser
vices were unusually impressive.
Air. B. P. Cook has gone to Atlanta
to engage in the mercantile business
with his brother-in-law, Mr. W. C.
Leigh. We wish these gentlemen the
fullest success in their undertaking.
They are both worthy and clever, and
deserve all the good luck that is going.

Mr. Editor:—A very serious accident
occurred in our town last Saturday.
Air. II. W. Vaughn mounted his mule
and started fer home, carrying in his
hands a can of oil and an empty shoe
box. He had proceeded but a short
distance when the mule caught a
glimpse of the oil can and, making a
plunge, threw Air. Vaughn violently to
the ground. He lay in this position
quite a while, apparently lifeless, but
was finally discovered by some one
passing and carried to the Martin
House. After a careful examination
his attending physician expressed the
fear that his injuries would result fa
tally.
Air. C. J. Alathews, of Hogansville,
spent Sunday in Luthersville.
Dr. Jas. W. Taylor made a short busi
ness trip to Atlanta one day last week.
We regret to announce the death of
Airs. Allen, which occurred last Friday
at the residence of her son, Mr. L. A.
Allen.
Air. C. F. AlcWilliams is quite sick
at this writing.
Air. Eugene F. Stroziermade a flying
trip to Macon yesterday. Guess he got

Second District.
Mr. Editor:—Everybody busy pick
ing cotton, and it is now ab(£t all
open. I think it will be nearly an av
erage with last year’s crop. I can
name several farmers who will make
ten bales to the plow, and some even
more.
Air. B. Boswell and Miss Sallie Cald
well were married recently. Best
wishes.

Air. Will Camp, of this district, is
buying cotton in Turin. He is giving
the top of the market.
The Farmers’ Alliance speak of
building a warehouse at Turin for the
storage of their cotton. Uncle Jim.
Oct. 10th.
An Old-Time Stag-Hunt.
Mr. Editor:—Our town became much
excited last Friday morning by the ap
pearance- in the neighborhood of a large
buck. The facts, as related by an eye
witness, are about as follows:
It was seen about 10 o’clock by some
hands picking cotton on Mr. W. S.
Baraett's farm. Wm. Smith, colored,
says When he saw it he (William) got
up and got, for he had never seen any
thing like it before. So did the buck.
Mr. L. W. Bohannon had been over to
Kirby’s store, and in returning passed
where the hands were at work. Upon
being told of the appearance of the
deer he went back to the store in great
haste. After reporting the facts us
above stated, Genie Kirby mounted
his horse and returned with Bohan
non, with five hounds and a large
shepherd dof. They were soon joined
by Mr. Barnett, Uncle Billy Redding
and son, Wm. Broadwater and Jas.
Beavers, who also brought their
hounds. They then commenced look
ing for the tracks, during which time
the dogs were exercising themselves
trailing a rabbit. The excited hunters
had not followed the tracks very far
when the buck sprang out from a dense
cluster of bushes and darted rfi with
the speed of the wine. The yi.-ej. herd
sprang after it and came near catching
it. They say Mr. Barnett .-o ex
cited he couldn’t holler, and could <>nh
give expression to his fe< lings by jump
ing up and down and chipping his
bawls. Uncle Billy Bedding also made
the welkin ring, as in days of yore.
The other boys whooped and yelled
and the dogs added their chorus to the
general hullabaloo. Wm. Broadwater
and Jim Beavers smiled all over them
selves and their eyes looked like fni
moons. Genie Kirby and Billy Re<
♦ling let out their horses and followed
the deer through Bohannon’s, Kirby’s
and Arnold’s farms and pushed it so
close that it jumped into New river
and either swam down stream or to the
opposite shore. The dogs could not
scent it any farther. At Arnold’s farm
the party were joined by Mr. Pitman.
They examined the banks of the creek
on both sides, almost to the bridge,
and could see no signs where it emerged
from the stream. It was nearly sun
down before the boys finally abandoned
the chase; but the dogs soon got up «
young buck'and it was taken in by th»>
boys and dogs in the beginning of the
chase. All the dogs retired but thre •
or four. Genie returned home about
Hark with his meat, hut Billy kept up
the chase until about day next morn
ing.
The strangest thing of all is that
there was not a gun in the party. Any
of them could have had a good shot at
it when it first jumped. If Bill Beaver*
had been with the boys they might
have done better, as he is an old hun
ter and understands how to track deer,
and no doubt would have had his gun.
I understand that a crowd went out
from Corinth next morning and ran
the buck back up the creek some dis
tance. Neab-hy.

Reunion of the 1st Oa. Regiment an4
12th Oa. Battalion.
The surviving members of Company
A, 1st Georgia Regiment and 12th
Georgia Battalion, (most of whom r- -
side in Coweta county,) are all making
preparations to attend the reunion i *
Atlanta on Tuesday next, and tl> •
indications are that the attendance wi I
be the largest yet known since these
reunions were inaugurated. The sec
retary is daily in receipt of letU *
from members residing at a distanc .
and with few exceptions all haw-
promised to be present. About on**
hundred elegant badges have been

satin, about two and a half inches ii
width by six in length, and in addition
to the name and rank of the wearer

imi»ortant engagements participated in
by the 1st Georgia Regiment and 121 u
Georgia Battalion during the late wa*.
They were printed by AIcClendon c;
Co., of this city, and could not haiv
been executed more handsomely in
Atlanta or anywhere. John Robinson
was so much pleased with the badge*
that he sent one to President Cleveland,
and if that august personage desires to
make himself solid with the “old vets,”
he will wear it in a conspicuous place
when he is presented to them on Tues
day next.
