Grant ville.’ 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.” March 22d. Ardf.n. Hen? Clbpcrttsements. Order, to Perfect Service.

Danikl Swint, Prs. l'eo 34.11—oamiin. Clerk. Senoia _ 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. March 21st, It Gives Satisfaction. Orlanda, Fla., June 1st, 1887. We have been selling Botanic Blood Balm ever since it first came before tic public.
