Mr. Editor:—This community, in
common with every other section of
the State, is in great commotion about
the Piedmont Exposition. When
ever Atlanta wants to stir up the
masses she generally succeeds, whether
she has anything of real merit to pre
sent or not. These conglomerate
gatherings not only beguile the peo
ple’s money, but are very demoralizing
to the youth of the country. But such
is the way of the world, and will con
tinue to be so as long as time shall last.
Capt. J. D. Hunter has been retro-
specting the past and finds very few
things in the present day that compare
with those of his early life. For in
stance, debts of every character—notes,
accounts and promises to pay—were
not considered due or collectable
thirty-five years ago except on the
25th of December Or the 1st of March.
But now, by the time the first cotton
bolls begin to open debtors are fre
quently reminded that their obligations
are due, etc.
The family of Prof. A. S. Jones have
returned to Newnan.
At the next meeting of the Sharps-
burg Baptist church Mr. J. J. Farmer
will be ordained to the office of dea-
•on. Dr. Hall, of your city, and other
ministers will be present and partici
pate in the ordination services.
Several marriages are expected to
come off in this vicinity before and
during the Christmas holidays.
A negro child came near being
burned to death on the farm of Col.
Ingram a few days since.
Mr. George Cagle was badly hurt on
Thursday last by one of the pulleys
flying off from a steam engine, which
struck him on the head in several
places. No fracture resulted, however,
and while the wound is severe it is
hoped that no serious effects will en
sue.
Tour correspondent had the pleasure
to-day of attending the marriage of Mr.
Neal Moses, formerly of this place, to
Miss Annie Fitts, of Carrollton, daugh
ter of. Dr. Fitts. The bride is a most lov
able and accomplished lady, and a prize
of which any man might feel proud.
The groom is a son of the late Hon.
A. Moses and stands deservedly
high in the community. The affair
was one of the nicest of its kind that
we ever witnessed. The ceremony was
performed by Dr. Barrett, in his own
felicitous manner. The happy young
couple have our very best wishes.
Oct. 20th. R. A. T.

store, Newnan.
The conference was entirely harmoni
ous and the proceedings full of interest.
Elijah Gamer, an inmate of the coun
ty poor farm, died last Friday and was
buried at Macedonia the day following.
Mrs. J. B. Newton-is quite sick.
Mr. John Dixon and wife, of Temple,
Texas, are visiting relatives and friends

Springs, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Jane

Glad to learn that Mr. Richard Smith,
who has been confined to his bed for
some time with an attack of rheuma
tism, is much improved.
Farmer’s Alliance clubs have been
organized in Cedar Creek and Panther*
Creek districts; but as I know nothing
about the objects of the organization
can’t say what will be accomplished.
Hope much good will result-, though.
The old Macedonia agricultural club
was reorganized last Saturday night by
the election of the following officers:
T. F. Jones, president;.!. J. Reese, vice-
president; J. P. Reese, secretary; A,
B. Hyde, assistant secretary.
The colored farmers of this district
have organized a “reliance club” at
Jones Chapel. They have also formed
a joint stock company and opened up a
store, which will be conducted on the
co-operative plan. Rev. Harvey Jones
is salesman. - Ripples.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hubbard is suffering
terribly from a carbuncle on the back
of her neck.
Mrs. W. J. Moore, who has been
visiting her mother, Mrs. Martha
Houston, and other relativesy will re
turn home in a few days, accompanied
by her mother.
A short time ago a young lady in our
vicinity went out to milk the family
cow. Near the pasture gate lay a small
male beast, the property of a neighbor,
which the young lady attempted to
drive out of her way—whereupon he
showed fight. Tossing her up into the
air, she fell upon his neck; but realizing
her peril, she gathered hold of the
brute’s neck and clung to it with mar
velous strength. Her cries attracted
the attention of the family, but before
any one could reach her she had suc
ceeded in choking- the beast to the
ground, and while it lay exhausted she
made her escape. A brother came up
about that time - and jsaid he was not
afraid of the gentleman cow, and at
tempted to drive it away; but the
young man was himself put to flight.
At length it was agreed to send for the
owner of the obstreperous bovine, who
mounted his horse and rode down to
see what the trouble was. As he ap
proached, the bull curled his tail and
made a lunge at the horse, running un
der it as a shark would run under a bat-
teau, which caused the rider to lay
whip and spur to his faithful steed,
yelling back as he ran—“Shoot him !—
shoot him I” A trusty old fusee was
brought into requisition and the little
monster soon lay stretched out upon
the ground—dead. Vanpelt.

Mr. Editor:—Accepting a kind invi
tation from Judge Jasper X. Sewell to
a seat behind his fine nag, “Sallie
Clay,” I attended the quarterly meet
ing at Emory Chapel on Saturday last.
Arriving at the church we found a
small congregation already assembled,
which was largely increased by the
time services commenced. Johnnie
Hendrix presided at the organ and
discoursed some sweet music. Presid
ing Elder Mixon preached, delivering
an excellent discourse from the text—
“We are the children of God.” Rev.
Mr. Foote followed with a feeling and
impressive exhortation. Services over,
the large crowd in attendance partook
of a splendid basket dinner. After an
intermission of one hour the delegates
and ministers convened in the church
for the purpose of organizing the con
ference, Dr. Mixon presiding. Hon. A.
Leigh was elected clerk. The follow
ing order of business was gone through
with:
Names of delegates enrolled.
Reports of stewards called for.
Report on Sabbath-schools. (The
work not very encouraging.)
Spiritual interest of the church dis
cussed.
Amounts raised for the support of
the ministry since last quarterly meet
ing: Mt. Carmel, $30; Andrew Chapel,
$10; J cites Chapel, *15; Emory Chapel,
$58.90.
Fourth District.
Mr. Editor:—I forgot to state in my
last that Mr. W. L. Stallings had gone
to Athens to complete his education.
Also, that Messrs. W. H. Walker and
M. D. Millians have gone to Birming
ham.
I learn that Mr. Luther Burnham
has returned home from Birmingham,
and has come to stay. We are glad to
welcome him back.
Messrs. Ike and Zack Stephens, of
Texas, are visiting their brother, Mr.
Jess Stephens, and other relatives in
this vicinity. I am informed that their
niece, Miss Susie Favor, is arranging to
return with them when they go.
On Saturday morning, 8th inst., Mr.
Newt Houston had his left arm caught
in one of Crowder & Boynton’s gins
and very badly lacerated, from the
wrist to the elbow, though the bone
was not broken. Doctors Starr, Jack-
son and Peddy were called in to dress
the wound, and at last accounts the
sufferer was doing as well as could be
expected. It is believed now that his
arm will be saved.
It becomes my painful duty to
chronicle, the death of Mrs. Frances
Lovelady, consort of Mr. Green Love-
lady and daughter of Mr. Wm. W ood,
which occurred at her father’s home on
the 12th inst., after along and painful
illness. She was married in the early
part of the year and was taken sick
shortly afterwards, from which illness
she never recovered. Deceased was
not personally known to the writer,
but from a long acquaintance with her
family he feels justified in saying that
a good woman is gone. We tender to
the bereaved husband, parents and
other relatives our deepest sympathies.
Rev. F. J. Amis preached a strong
temperance sermon last Sunday that I
think was rather hard for some of the
congregation to swallow, for I never
heard so much coughing among the
male portion of a congregation in my
life. The context of his subject was—
“Who hath woe ? who hath sorrow ?
who hath contentions V who hath bab
bling? who hath wounds without
cause ? who hath redness of eyes ?
They that tarry long at the wine; they
that go to seek mixed wine. Look not
thou upon the wine when it is red,
when it giveth his color in the cup,
when it movetli itself aright. [Now
comes the text.] At the last it bitteth
like a serpent, and stingetli like an ad
der.” Prow, xxiii.: 29-32. The sermon
was well received, especially by the
ladies of the congregation.
Luthers ville.

tomary good ;luck managed to get ex
cused. ‘
We reget to learn of the sudden
death of Mr. A. B. O’Hara, of Green

Closing Scenes and Incidents
the Exposition.
Atlanta Journal, 26th inst.
Early yesterday afternoon thousands
of people began to gather at the Union
depot, and the trains left so crowded
that ladies were forced to stand upon
the platforr&s. All during the night
the now of human beings continued to
pour into the depot, and by daylight
the watchmen decided to admit no
one. This enraged the crowd on the
outside and they began to push and
shove until the stand across the inside
door gave way, and the watchmen
found themselves powerlesss to keep
the crowd back. The depot was so full
of people that it was difficult to move
the trains.
All the roads carried off thousands
this morning, but they could not be
missed. Ladies, men and children
camped out in the depot, sitting upon
boxes and trunks, eating cold lunches.
This was kept up all day and at the
hour of going to press the depot is still
crowded with people.
This morning about 8 o’clock, above
the noise and the tumult in the depot,
a piercing shriek was heard. Mrs.
George Bryson, of South Carolina, was
in the depot with her husband, and
mistaking the exposition train for one
going to Augusta, they attempted to
board it as it moved through the car
shed. The man got on all right, but
the woman missed her footing and fell.
Her dress was caught by a portion of
the car and she was dragged fifteen or
twenty yards. Her left foot in some
way was thrown across the track and
two of her toes were mashed off. She
was rescued from her perilous position
bv patrolman Newt Holland and
Watchman Flynn. Her husband had
her placed in a" carriage and driven to
tli6 house of a friend where the proper
medical attention was secure*?.
Watchman Porter stated to a Jour
nal reporter that as many as eighty
persons had asked him about lost
children.
A young man, who gave his name as
John Hildreth, was standing on the
rear platform of the Central train
when it pulled out this morning at ii:50,
and his coat was caught by the gate.
He was jerked off the ear and thrown
violently backward. A sprained wrist
was the only injury received.

Gordon Will Support Colquitt.
Atlanta, *Ga., Oct. 14.—The follow
ing correspondence, given out to-day,
disposes of the rumor that Gov. Gordon
would antagonize Senator Colquitt for
the Senatorship. Mr. Olive is the
member from Oglethorpe county:
House or Representatives, )
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12,1887. j
To His Excellency, Gov. J. B. Gordon;
Dear Sir:—I have heard it rumored
for some time that there had been an
estrangement between you and Senator
Colquitt, and that you were personally
inimical to him and disagreed with lmii
in his views touching a reform of our
tariff laws, and that you would share
in the opposition to nis re-election to
the Senate. I am a friend to both of

J. T. Olive, House of Representatives:
My Dear Sir:—I had heard with
surprise and regret the rumor to which
you refer and am glad to have the op
portunity of making the authoritative
statement which you request. The re
port that there is an estrangement be
tween Senator Colquitt ana myself i*
without any foundation whatever am!
I am sure that no one who knows tin-
character of my friendship forlymwoulc!
give circulation or credence to such a
rumor. Senator Colquitt is and ha>
long been my close personal friend, and
our relations were never more thor
oughly cordial than now. Our long
personal intimacy would forbid any
estrangement even if we differed as ti>
public policies. As to the wisdom and
necessity for reform in our tariff laws,
however, we do not differ, but arc
ih perfect accord. My opinions on th>>
subject were formed many years agi >
and have long since ripened intb pro
found convictions. I am sincerely and
faithfully yours, J. B. Gordon.
An Honored Senator.
Atlanta Journal.
Hon. R. H. Jackson, the Senator
from the Thirty-seventh district, com
posed of Carroll, Heard and Troup
counties, is one of the most useful a>-
well as one of the most distinguished
members of the present General Assem
bly. As chairman of the committee on
education he has had charge of som»-
of the most important bills that have
been introduced, among others the fa
mous Denny bill to amend and codify
all the laws relating to the popular ov
common schools of the State. He ha:-
borne himself well in these import?^
places. He is chairman of the sub-j^
mittee of the Senate and Hou^
thoroughly investigate the working^
the lunatic asylum at Milledgeville.
Mr. Jackson Is so conservative
some might call him too cautious, i<j
it is the part of wisdom to be prude*-
and it is well to have such men as Se.
at or Jackson in all legislatures. He i
a speaker of much force and has mad»
a fine impression on his fellow-senators.
He has frequently been called upon to
preside over the Senat^, temporarily,
and does so with grace, dignity and
ability.
Senator Jackson is an extensive plan
ter, and is successful in that pursuit as
in other matters to which he nas turned
his attention. He is a minister of the
gospel (Baptist) who preaches, without
regard to salary, for the good that he
may do his fellow-men.
The Thirty-seventh district has hon
ored itself in sending Mr. Jackson to
represent it.
A Relic of the War.
Smith ville. Ga., News.
Mr. O. P. Brown, of Smithville, has
in his possession one-third of a Con
federate bill which was given him un
der peculiar circumstances. He was ;t
member of the Fifth Georgia regiment,
and was at Greensboro, N. C., when
the war ended. Colonel C. P. Daniel,
of Griffin, Ga., was in command of the
regiment. On parting with them, In-
took from his pocket a five dollar bill,
and, cutting it into three parts, gave
one to Brown, one to A. R. Clark, ami
the other to Thomas White, saying:
“Well, boys, this is all I can give you to
remember me by. Take it, and keej *
it till we meet again.” They then
went their several ways; not, however,
before making a compact with each
other that, in the event of their meet
ing again, the man who failed to pro
duce nis third should stand the treats.
Last year Brown and White met in
Macon'. Brown showed up, but White
didn’t and had to stand treat. Brown
lives in .Smithville, White in Macon,
and Clark in Augusta.
The com crop turned out better than
was expected in Henry county.
