Miss Neta Bingham and Miss Emma Hindsman are two of our must graceful 1 equestriennes. Mr. .T. T. Mayfield has whooping- cough at his house. Mr. M. knows how to sympathize with the little ones himself. Mr. .John H. Hendrix was with us Sunday. It is a treat to have Mr. .John witli us on preaching days. Myrtie, the little daughterof Dr. and Mrs. G. E. Cam a, has been very sick, hut we are glad to know is now about well. Dr. J. M. Couch still has some very sick patients at Air. T. H. Gilbert’s. Col. W. II. Bingham was at home a few days ago on a visit. Miss Susie Pitts and Miss McGinty, from Alabama, are visiting Mrs. W. H. Dodds and others. Air. Robt. F. Hunter went to the Ex position yesterday. Said he was de lighted with everything he saw, but felt ashamed of Coweta because she was not represented. Prof. F. A. Qulllian is smilling among his old friends and former patrons. You know how a teacher can smile in the fall of the year! The plan of our new church building has been sent in and accepted. Hur rah fol‘ Puckett’s ! She will soon have a new church that would be an orna ment to any town. Air. Alorgan Hopsbn, of Grantville, was seen at church last Sunday. Ah, Morgan !—you Neta be coming up here. Mrs. L. C. Reynolds, of Birmingham, accompanied by her charming daugh ter, Afiss Lily, arrived yesterday on a visit to relatives.

The little fellow' had been playing in the seed-pile and got too near the gin. Zubetus. Oct. 12th. Turin. 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. Oet. 10th. Riffles. Panther Creek. 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. All's. Alice Cochran, of Palmetto, paid a visit to her sister. Airs. J. H. Gibson, last Sunday. Air. W. R. Wilkinson, of Palmetto, gave ns a call last Sunday. . Cols. Barnes ami Newnan attended Court in this district last week. Fleas are laying eggs now at 2‘V. per dozen, strictly. Col. J. R. Thunn.iu had an old-fash ioned eorn-shuekiiiirlast Friday night — the only tiling lacking being the old- familiar com songs. Luther3 villa. 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 sorter short-winded before he reached his destination. The infant child of Mr. and Airs. S. N. Laws died at Grantville last Sunday night. The remains were brought here and interred in our city cemetery. Prof. J. A. Quillian, of LaGrange, was here on business yesterday. Col. F. A. Pierce, of Hongansville, attended Court here yesterday. “Cherry Bitters” is on a boom in our town. El'do. Oct. 12th. 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. Frank Street is now engaged doing a job of painting for Mr. Jas. L. Carmical, of Turin. Mr. Street knows how to use a paint brash and does his work in a thoroughly satisfactory man ner. Alisses Webb and Huff, of the Fourth district, visited friends in this district last Saturday and Sunday. Miss Ad- die Lee Webb leaves for Arkansas soon. We have some sickness in our vicini ty. Among those ill are Misses Alary Cruse and Ella Gilbert. We hope to see them up again soon. Dr. I’. R. Bingham has returned from a trip to the Lone Star State. He gives a glowing description of that country and speaks of moving out there this fall. 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. Kirby’s Store, Oet. 5tli. 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.

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.
