FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Grantville.
Mr. EditorOur town lias been vis
ited by members of the Farmers’ Alli
ance Clubs, inviting bids for the vari
ous articles of merchandise needed by
tlie members. I am informed that the
firm of Messrs. Banks & Arnold have
been selected by the clubs of north
Meriwether as an “Alliance house;”
and yet one of the firm told me that
they had not been officially notified of
the fact. 1 heard, while in LaGrange
last week, that the Alliance Club of
Ilogansville and vicinity had made se
lection of a house in Grantville, but
that rumor also lacks confirmation.
For some reason, unknown to me,
there has been no club formed in our
town, though there is material suffi
cient. Every laudable effort on the
part of farmers to add to their mate
rial prosperity should be very heartily
encouraged by all classes of our citi
zens, the initiated as well as the
profane. I cannot give credence to
many rumors which are afloat concern
ing the Alliance men and their purpo
ses, for among them are many of our
best and most intelligent citizens;
therefore, T am loth to believe that
they will endeavor to do harm to any
Miss Emmie Stafford returned home
several days since from a long visit to

event of large proportions, had its at

that Mr. Davis was the central figure.

Events of a sorrowful character have
also occurred within the brief period
mentioned. Many households have
been made sad by reason of afflict ion and
bereavement; and many are even suf
fering from a lack of the ordinary com
forts of life. Yet thousands make sac
rifices of money and time annually to
visit these great State occasions, (we
are not condemning the practice,) and
yet, alas ! how little of either is sacri

Capt. John Alorris, a pleasant night
was spent with him and his charming
family. Air. Alorris is quite a thrifty
fanner. He also runs a public gin, hav
ing ginned to date over two hundred
bales of cotton. He stated to the
writer that on Friday last he bought
his first pound of lard since he began
housekeeping—some twenty years ago.
I noticed hanging upon the wall, in a
large frame, the likeness of the father
of my friend, dressed in Confederate
uniform—the same, doubtless, in which
he was mortally wounded while en
gaged in battle with the enemy. All
honor to the ioble man who died in
the cause which his conviction led him
to believe was right.
Resuming my travels, I halted a mo
ment by the way at the home of Dea

family in smiles over the late arrival of
a young Cleveland.
After church services at Ilolly
Springs I visited the' family of Air. D.
Brassell. Found his good lady in de
clining health, which filled my heart
with sadness.
Saturday night was spent with the
family of Air. Edward Shaw, whom we
found lamenting the loss of a quantity
of cotton that had been stolen by some
sneak thief. In the same vicinity young
Mr. Ilindsman lost an entire bale only
a day or so before.
The people of Holly Springs and vi

The farmers are almost through
picking cotton, and a good many have
gathered corn.
Air. A. P. Camp has sold his house
and lot to Air. B. A£. Couch and will
probably move from Puckett’s. We
hope he will make it to his interest to
stay with us.
The passenger depot, recently built
by the Atlanta and West Point Rail
road, has been painted and is quite an
attractive little building for our town.
Air. J. D. Collins, the high sheriff of
Campbell county, was in our town this
week in search of a witness wanted in a

Mr. Editor:—Another week has
passed and brought but little news to
chronicle. Among other items of in
terest collected, however, I can state
that ’Squire “Ripples” married on the
wing last Sabbath, near Alaeedonia
church, just as the congregation was
dispersing, Mr. Robert AYinkles and
Aliss Alollie Hartley, who went on then-
way rejoicing.
Mr. J. L. Attaway and family, of
Cedar Creek district, moved last week
to Northwest Alabama. AVe regret
very much to lose this excellent family
from our neighborhood.
Another real estate transaction has
taken place in this community since
my last letter. Air. C. II. Newton has
sold fifty acres of land, known as the
old AVaits place, to Air. N. S. Hyde for
$400 cash.
Dr. Barrett preached a most excel

man himself officiating. Such a ”rq>-

see again in the log book of her “rip

the event occurred at midday—high
noon !—on the public highway !—on
the consecrated road to Alaeedonia
church!—Sunday, 1:1th November, 1SS7!
—in the presence of how many wit
nesses this deponent saith not. But
just as the large congregation of Mace
donia church was in transit for its noon
day meal, the “Rev. Justice” was seen
escaping by one route—the contracting
parties with their bridal cortege by an
other. Two hands were joined, two
hearts united. High heaven had heard
the solemn vow; and may the current
of their lives glide peacefully on, with
out another “ripple.”
Having disposed of this “rippling” epi
sode I will continue my moralizing; for
its pathos has tinged my very soul, al
though it may not be effective enough
to influence yours. For ten months I
have labored with as diligent, intelli
gent and controllable a set of pupils as
ever falls to the lot of a country peda
gogue. AVhen I say labored, I mean it
emphatically. The true teacher la
bors; but it is labor of love, for we are
stewards of this great mental store
house which is to move the world; and
it is also a labor of prayer and hope.
“The sheaves will surely appear, albeit
with weeping we sow the precious
seeds.” AVhat a pleasure, and yet an
anxiety, even akin to pain, a faithful
teacher feels in the progress, the de
velopment, the expansion of the mind
and brain. Aye, I have often wished I
could take out the very pia and dura
mater of my own dull brains and ham
mer it into the brains of those whom I
have toiled to instruct, to elevate, to
energize—nay, even to recreate. AVhile
I endeavored to instruct them concern
ing the physical, the mathematical and
the scientific world they are preparing
to enter, still farther on, higher yet,
have I essayed to guide their thoughts,
to that world which “eye hath not
seen, nor ear hath heard”—to that Su

youth conspicuous among the youth?
of that day for comeliness of form and
scholarly attainments. He emigrated
to the AVest early in life, and after
many vicissitudes in fortune he has
prospered beyond his most sanguine
expectations. Located in one of the
best sections of country on earth, good
water, rich, productive lands, refined
and cultured society, his grown chil
dren married and settled near by, with
peace, plenty and prosperity all around
—an earthly paradise surely. But
amidst it all the love for old Georgia ha?
never grown col dand he writes back
to an old school-mate asking about tin
friends of our youth and a description
of the old homesteads. AVhat sad and
pleasant recollections of the long ago
the task will awaken ! Memory un
folds her rosy wings and we float back
to “the halcyon days of joyous youth;”
but, alas! where are our boyhood
friends? Time, with its sickle, Death,
has garnered a rich harvest of them in
the tomb. Many, very many, of them
went down in that great maelstrom oi
destruction—the late war. Others have
wandered off into strange lands, and
not a few abide in the old land yet. If
the country, as he knew it then, was
photographed on his memory, how
changed the picture now ! Some of
the pleasant homes then have long
since passed away, and the corn or cot
ton grows luxuriantly on the very spo<
they occupied. All show abundant evi
dences of dilapidation, and with rare ex
ceptions the fate of one is the common
fate of all—“the stranger’s foot is on
the sill.”

is now a dense pine thicket; but tin 1

“base” in “town ball” is still stand

springat the foot of the hill still boils u;
its water as cold and pure as then, and
how merrily starts off through limpid
