Mr. Editor:—Messrs. Wilbur Trem
ble and J. Henry Smith, of Hogansville,
were in our town on Sunday last. Wil-
bjr became so infatuated that he came
twice the same day.
Miss Estelle Delbridge, of Atlanta,
lias been on a visit to Mrs. J. D. More
land recently.
Prof. E. C. Mobley, principal of Ivy
Street High School, of Atlanta, was on
a visit to our town last Sabbath.
“Chap” came down to see his “cous
in."
Mr. Delbridge, of Atlanta, was in our
town recently. These Atlanta boys
had better be on the watch; our boys
keep something explosive for trespass
ers, and mean “b-i-z !”
Up to noon Monday last there were
about fifty wagons in town after the
odoriferous fertilizer.
Some of our citizens anticipate a fly
ing trip to the Gate City this week, and
while there propose to see “Old Rip”
awake from his little nap.
Mr. S. H. Hill has a pair of the pret
tiest ponies in the State—Georgia-rais
ed and black as coals.
Mr. J. F. Lovejoy went up to New-
nan last Monday to attend a meeting
of Hie stockholders of the Newnan Cot-
tofi Mills.
Ask “Zubetus” what was the matter
with his tongue while trying to order
the two burglars to “s-sur-render.”
A true friend is like an hour of time;
once lost, is hard to regain.
Tuesday night our citizens were
awakened by a heavy wind and rain
storm. Several families sought their
storm-pits forsafety. The lightning for
awhile was almost incessant. Have
heard of no damage more serious than
uprooting of trees and blowing down
of fences.
I had a dream at midday.
’Twas at night. I saw a large, spacious
hall; gorgeous chandeliers; festoons of
evergreen about the four walls; tables
laden with tempting viands, luscious
fruits, and ornamented with beds oi
flowers of the richest hue; the beaut’,
and chivalry of the town were there.
I heard the popping of corks, intermix
gled with toasts and happy responses.
Overhead I saw suspended from the
ceiling these letters: “C. C. B. A.”
At the farther end of the table, occu
pying the seat of honor, I saw a hap
py, -cheery old gentleman of alderman-
ic proportions. He arose (with what
dignity !) tomake response to this toast:
•The Coweta County Bar Associa
tion;”—and just as he raised his right
hand alof^ and turned his eyes heaven
ward, as if to pronounce a benediction
upon the' assembly, some miscreani
“turned out the gas”—and I awoke.
_ I dreamed again.
. A dim spectre crossed my path. In
voluntarily I followed. I saw it hov
er over a 4 tomb. It was of sad counte
nance. Woebegone in every look and
gesture, it seemed to point its long fin
gers toward something on the tomb;
but just then I heard a locomotive
whistle and the spectre vanished,
approached the spot; saw the tomb,
and inscribed upon it were these words:
‘Sacred to the memory of the C. C.
B. A. Thte deceased came to an un
timely end 1 by a railroad accident.”

_ Mr. Editor:—Our section was visited
Tuesday night by one of the heaviest
wind and rail, storms that we have wit
nessed in many years. For fifteen or
twenty minutes the rain fell in torrents,
the lightning was vivid and the thun
der continuous, and our estimate of the
velocity of the wind was at least, fifty
miles an hour. So far, we have heard
of no serieus damage. Parson Hicks,
of- St. Louis, in his weather prognosti
cations this year has been much better
sustained by results, than was Prof.
Wiggins a few years ago. At-this writ
ing there is quite a change in the tem
perature of the atmosphere.
We can assure “Cousin Dixie” that
his amende, copied in The Herald
and Advertiser, is quite satisfactory.
The forgiving of trespasses is, we hope,
one of our best traits of character, ex
tending even to “seventy times seven.”
Sometimes we have been almost
tempted to try to put, if possible, our
views of the acts of some people while
attending church service on paper. We
confess the task is rather difficult for
one of our nervous temperament. We
cite an instance of this kind. In pass
ing along the
side, between the pews, great puddles
of tobacco spittle—unadulterated nas
tiness—genuine filth. Can such vile
uncleanness pass through the lips of a
gentleman? He does it not at home,
nor in the house of a friend. If he can
be a gentleman at home, or at the house
of a friend, can he afford to be less in
the house of God? Ladies are never
guilty of such breaches of propriety.
So, you see at once the difference be
tween ladies in this respect, and—and
—well, we wish we could call the thing
rjenV.evw.ri. To indulge in further ex
pressions at this time, on this subject,
might produce nausea, so, by way of di
version, we have invested a pittance of
our surplus in rat traps, (no reference
to the one “Round About Turin”) and
it begins to divert already.
During the high winds last Saturday
the colored Methodist church here was
blown down.
Judge Harris, Solicitor-General Reid,
and others, came down last Monday
morning, and, with some of the local
bar here, took up the line of march for
Fayetteville, where Court is being held
this week.
The white man captured at Puckett
Station last week proved to be one of
the burglars who robbed Norton’s store
at Creswell. He has quarters in the
Griffin jail. His name is Smith. Sup
pose he belongs to the family of Lock-
Smiths.
Mr. Albert G. Rawls has taken a
clerkship with Mr. John Keely, of At
lanta. Success to you, Albert.
We regret that we can report no im
provement in the condition of Col. W.
W. Hardy. He has the sympathy of
his many friends here and elsewhere.
March 22d. Vincent.
Palmetto.
Mr. Editor:—Palmetto was visited
on Tuesday night by a brief but rat her
violent storm of wind, rain, thunder
and lightning. No particular damage
was done beyond the blowing down of
a few already shaky fences, and the
rousing up of a few families, who
thought a cyclone was coming. It is
said that one of our citizens arose, put
his Sunday clothes, blacked his
shoes and sat down to await, develop
ments. The storm lasted about one
hour.
The remains of Mrs. Hilliard Mc
Laren, who died suddenly at Whites-
burg on Friday last, were brought to
Palmetto on Sunday. She was buried
at Antioch Church on Sunday morning.
She left a husband, several children
and a large circle of relatives am
friends. Nemo.
March 22d. _
Sharpsburg.
Mr. Editor:— Although planting tinw
* at hand, blizzards have been ruling
he hour, and the weather resembles
oidwinter rather than spring. Last
▼eek’s cold spell induced a number ol
as to laid aside our dusters and hunt uj
uur discarded overcoats.
Our farmers are preparing their lands
for cotton. Corn-planting has already
begun. W heat and oats do not. look st
promising as we could wish.
The recent cold weather killed a good
leal of the fruit in this sectiou, but not
*11.
Our sc hool is largely attended. The
atest addition is Mr. Gler.n R. Wynn,
of Kedron, who entered a few day?
ago.
Mr. Andrew J. Mills is suffering
greatly from an attack of neuralgia.
Mrs. J. J. North has been afflicted for
several days with rheumatism.
Miss Annie Wynn, of Kedron, is tak
ing a special course in music, under the
direction of Mrs. A. Lumpkin.
Messrs. Paul Pitman, J. O. Vance,
Eddie Pitman and J. D. Norris went
to Newnan last Saturday on business.
Our city fathers are having a well dug
on the public square for the benefit of
the village and pnblic.
Rev. R. D. Mallory, of Griffin, filled
his appointment here last Saturday and
Sunday. He is an excellent Christian
gentleman and a good preacher.
Mrs. Angelina Lumpkin spent a few
days in Newnan last week, and while
there attended the marriage of her son,
Mr. Joe H. Lumpkin.
Prof. J. B. Bohannon, who is teach
ing a fine ichool near Palmetto, paid us
is flying visit last week. 'Success to
him.
Messrs. R. A. Farmer and M. H.
Norris will have a public debate on the
7th of April, at 7 A. M. Public invited.
’Squire H. H. Harrison is rejoicing
over a recent acquisition to his house
hold, in the person of a jolly girl baby.
March 20tb. B. C.
Puckatt Station.
Mr. Editor:—Please ask your "devil”
to be a little more careful in setting
type. Gordon Brannon, instead of
Bennett, is fast improving.
The little folks who had in their pos
session a card from the Ladies’ Aid
and Church Society, soliciting small
amounts for the benefit of the church,
were given a candy pulling at Mrs. Mat-
tie Camp’s last Saturday eve. ’Tis use-
aisle we see on either | less to attempt to tell how well the>
enjoyed the evening, and the candy
was delicious.
Mr. J. L. Wood, from North Caroli
na, was visiting the family of Mr. T. N.
Bingham last week.
Last week Mrs. H. L. Brannon visited
her daughter, Mrs. J. P. Bohannon,
who has been quite sick.
Mrs. Weaver, from Lagrange, is with
her daughter, Mrs. T. O. Dunn, who is
very sick.
Sorry to hear Walter Bingham is
quite sick.
A (supposed-to-be) mad-dog was Jkill-
ed in our town last week. We have
since learned that the dog belonged to
Mr. T. M. Lester of Grantville. It was
a fine setter, and Mr. Lester thinks he
was poisoned.
Mr. Robert. Lee, of Meriwether coun
ty. is now with Dr. G. E. Camp, as
salesman.
Mrs. W. A. Brannon has been quite
sick this week, but is thought to be im
proving. **
I)r. J. M. Couch reports more sick
ness generally than he ever knew in
this section before.
The first spring min brings with it
hail and wind in abundance. Good
deal of damage done round about. One
farmer’s barn was unroofed and a quan
tity of fodder and hay scattered to the
“four winds.” ZUBETUS.
March 22d.
Pantta r Creek.
Mr. Fditor.-—One or two errors oc
curred in my last letter. 1. Joe Burns
lacked 4 inches of being 7 feet high, in
stead of 4 feet to make 7 feet. 2.
Instead of Bob Brown’s steer plowing
like a mule, should read “steer plows
like a steer.”
Miss Percie Palmer has a fine school
at the Farmers’ Academy in this dis
trict.
I will ask a legal, if not a righteous
question, and one that I hope will be
answered in equity. Is it right for the
State of Georgia to summons aud com
pel witnesses to attend Court day after
day, and week after week, without any
compensation whatever, and board
themselves besides, while the officer*
of the Court receive pay for what little
they may do in the same eases?
Last year there was sold about 80
tons of guano at Powell’s Station.
This year there has been sold up to
date 200 tons. This is only a fair sam
ple of the increased sales at other
points all over the county. What is to
become of the country, I don’t know.
Mr. Eddie Jenkins, son of J. W. Jen
kins at Powell’s Station, while hand
ing an old pistol accidentally shot him-
elf through the left thigh, on last
.iturday. "While the wound is not
iangerous, it is very painful. The
young man is getting along very well
ud will be out in a few days.
Miss Mary Cook, daughter of ex-
freasurer Cook, is quite sick.
Candidates f< r the Legislature, House
uid Senate, are cautiously but surely
"eeling their way.
Last Tuesday night was a scarey and
stormy one, and I’ll venture that more
prayers were said than have been pul
up in six months before. Mrs.“Ripples”
s a “hard shell,” hut she is afraid to
crust to the Almighty in a storm like the
»ne we had last night. It thundered,
iglitened, blowed; hailed and mined.
She had all the children to get up and
dress, and she sat by the window and
watched the storm. I am one of those
who believe that what has been will be
again, and that what is to be will be
anyhow, and that there is nothing new
under the sun—unless I was to get kill
ed in a storm.- That would be Provi
dential. A fellow ain’t got but one
time to die, but he wants to have his
own way in that. I notice that an old
preacher in Butts county, in this State,
is going to preach his own funeral on
the third Sunday in April next. He is
going to have his coffin carried into the
church, and his wife and children are to
be dressed in mourning and seated
around the coffin. I guess he knows
more about himself than anybody else,
and wants no mistakes made.
1 made me a ton of guano after read
ing your notes on the subject in the
last Herald and Advertiser. It
will cost enly about half as much as a
manipulated ton would, and all it lack-
of being as good is one of Commissioner
Henderson's fifty cent tags.
Winter returned Wednesday morn
ing and everything looks chilly.
Wheat ia looking very well, but oatv
are somewhat damaged by the cold.
I got to another good dinner Iasi
Monday, Eli. A congregation of ladies
had met to consider the styles, ant!
about dinner time I met with them-
not in the discussion, however, but be
hind one of those precious dinners thai
keep me a-going. Yours, with good
appetite. RlPPLES.
