Mr. Editor:—At a Sabbath-school
memorial service held last Sunday after
noon at the Methodist Church, the fol
lowing resolutions were read and
adopted as a tribute of respect to the
late Col. TV. W. Hardy:
Whereas, in the mysterious provi
dence of the all-wise Superintendent of
the Universe, our beloved friend and
Sunday-school companion, W. W. Har
dy, has been cut down like a flower in
the beauty and strength of manhood by
the relentless hand of the dread mon
ster who crouches beside the pathway
of the old aud young; and, while we
bow in humble submission to the decree
of Him whose ways are past finding
out and who doetli all things for the
best, we would express our sorrow in
the loss of one of our brightest and best
co-workers in the Sunday-school, the
memory of whose noble life will linger
to inspire us to deeds of charity and
duty, and we record the story of his
good deeds and the virtues of his life
that, though dead, his example may
yet speak in gentle tones to those with
whom he loved to associate. Therefore,
be it resolved—
1. That in the death of our brother
the Sunday-school loses one of its
brightest ornaments, and one of its
most efficient and zealous workers, the
church a consistent, faithful and exem
plary member, and society one of its
most useful and worthy young men.
That we mourn his loss to all the insti
tutions of which he was a member, as
irreparable.
2. That we extend to the bereaved
family our heartfelt sympathy and con
dolence, and pray that that God in
whom the dutiful son and affectionate
brother trusted, may guide them to
that home where the sorrows of mortal
life are not known and where parting
will be no more.
3. That these resolutions be spread on
the records of this school, and that a
copy be sent to the family of the de
ceased brother.

J. W. Shell,
Mrs. C. A. Green,
Miss Jennie Sims,
Committee.
Pending the adoption of these reso
lutions, very appropriatt remarks were
made by Prof. P. 1). Pollock, Walter
Mallory, Cols. J. TV. Shell and J. F.
Methvin, and Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt.
One of the speakers spoke very feel
ingly of the early Sabbath-school
training of Col. Hardy, and attributed
that as the means by which he had at
tained that high degree of moral excel-
lenee'accorded him; and while we would
not detract one iota from all that is
claimed for the Sabbath-school a3 an
instrumentality, yet in seeking the
cause we would go to a cause far be
yond and deeper than the Sabbath-
school. If permitted by the most sa
cred rules of propriety, we would un
lock the closet door, and there behold
the loving, pious, saintly mother in her
kneeling form, as she pleads with her
Savior for her darling boy. We can
never get our consent to award any
means, humanly speaking, a higher
place in forming human character than
that of mother. With us it is the first;
and we venture the assertion that had
Walter Hardy been questioned on that
subject his offering would have been
laid upon “mother s altar.”
As a bit of general information I will
say that the Feather Renovating Com
pany, which has been in operation here
over six weeks, have renovated eight
hundred and seventeen (SIT) beds, and,
as part of toll, have shipped to Nash
ville, Tenn., over two thousand pounds
of feathers; reducing the sleeping lux
ury to the extent of about sixty-five
beds.
Mrs. Deracken, of whose illness men
tion was made in our last letter, has
placed herself under the treatment of
Dr. Cowan, near Forest, Ga. Hope she
will be speedily restored.
Glad to note that Mrs. Culpepper is
much improved. Her husband, Rev. E.
Culpepper, left this morning for the
Georgia Baptist Convention, which
meets this week in Brunswick.
Mr. M. F. Delk had the misfortune a
short time ago to cut one of his feet
with an axe, and last Friday cut one of
his legs. He is now compelled to use
crutches.
Mr. Lon Gray, who went to Texas a
few weeks ago, has returned. He got
sick and decided that the necessary
restoratives were in Georgia.
The weather is delightful, and our
farming friends are making the very
best use of it.
Mr. M. H. Couch has been to Atlanta
for the purpose of replenishing his
stock of goods.
Mr. J. I). Goodman made a brief visit
in the same direction.
Mr. W. H. Ferguson is on a visit to
Macon.
Mrs. Emma Free is visiting Griffin.
Mr. S. O. Smith gave an ice cream
sociable at his house last night.
How guano agents do thrive!
April 18th. Vincent.
Turin.
Mr. Editor:—Mr. Ed. Smith and fam
ily moved into Turin on Monday last.
Our people extend them a cordial wel
come. For the present they will occu
py the new residence on Gay street.
An imprudent negro girl was butted
off the railroad track by the engine one
day last week. The girl was walking
the track in front of the approaching
train, and although signal after signal
was given, she paid no attention,
and seemed to say by her acts, “Run
over me, and I’ll get a lawyer and make
you pay damages. I want money, my
self.” Fortunately for the girl, she
was hurt but little. There are several
negro boys who hang around at train
time and who are constantly jumping
upon the steps of the cars, riding some
distance and jumping oil as the train
begins to get under good headway.
Some day there will be a dead negro
picked up, and there will be much la
mentation by parents who now stand
by and laugh at their daring acts. The
thing should be stopped, or one or two
of the silly creatures will be made ex
amples of as a warning to others.
At this penciling the ground is hard
and a cool east wind blowing, making it
still harder to plow. The farmers are
trying to plant their cotton seed, but
it is with considerable labor, owing to
the hardness of the ground. Some of
the early planting is up and will be
ready to chop in a few days.
If the peaches now on the trees
should mature, there will he plenty for
eating and drying purposes.
A number of Turin gentlemen went
on a fishing spree last Monday to Line
creek, and report good luck.
Miss Tallulah Page has returned from
Texas. She had a pleasant trip, and
her many friends here were glad to
have her return safely and to know
that her trip was one of pleasure and
enjoyment.
The third Sabbath in May the Bap
tist house of worship at Starr’s mill
will be dedicated to the service of God.
Dr. J. II. Hall ik requested to preach
the dedication sermon. The people
generally are invited to attend the ser
vice. The house is located in a beauti
ful grove; hence the name of the
church, “Glen Grove.” This church
lias a fine Sabbath-school, numbering
sixty-five pupils, with J. M. Arnall as
superintendent.
The writer intended to visit t he Bap
tist Convention at Brunswick, but was
prevented by feebleness.
Rust is covering the briars, but has
not appeared upon the wheat as yet.
The hawks were never more trouble
some than now. The hens are heard
from on all sides, and the roosters are
generally in the lead making the run.
“So much like men,” the ladies would
say.
That dead-lock in Congrass looked
simple—indeed it did. R. A. T.

Puckett’s.
Mr. Editor:—Prof. TV. S. Featherston
and his estimable lady visited relatives
in your town last week. They returned
Monday.
Miss Mary Andrews, from Newnan,
visited one of our fairest this week,
Miss Neta Bingham.
Fishing tackle is of ready sale these
days.
Uncle Josiah Couch has the best
prospect for strawberries that we have
seen—if the blooms have anything to
do with the crop of berries.
The fish had better be going to the
Chattahoochee as fast as they can swim,
for we are going seining. Will report
our success next week.
The majority of the farmers are
through planting cotton, and have be
gun to cry “dry, hard ground,” already.
Alvin Couch has been sick for several
days. Glad to see him out again.
Mr. Leonard McWilliams, who has
been working on the church building,
left Wednesday for Atlanta, Texas.
Len says his work is worth $2.50 a day
there.
Our clever townsman, Mr. W. H.
Dodds, can get about a little, with the
aid of crutches. His fractured limb is
healing as fast as could be expected.
Messrs. J. K. Cotton and W. H. Couch,
of Grantville, spent Wednesday night
on Mr. Albert Martin’s mill pond-
fishing.
Dr. Geo. E. Camp, our most enter
prising citizen and merchant, expects
to build a warehouse this summer.
Messrs. (Camp & Cureton are con
stantly shipping peach crates and
strawberry boxes.
J. C. Brannon has a two-year-old colt
that he thinks “can’t be beat.”
Accompanied by Robert Moore from
Newnan, Jas. P. Camp and sister, Miss
Berta, “Zubetus” enjoyed a visit to
LaGrange last Sunday.
Mt. Zion church building has been
sold to the Baptist denomination. We
will now have two churches in our
town. There will be some repairing
done on the church, which will make it
very comfortable. This is a more con
venient point for the church for a great
many people who have been going to
White Oak. We don’t see why this
shouldn’t grow to be a strong church.
Hurrah for a picnic by the Sunday-
school members. Zubetus.
April 19th.
Panther Creek.
Mr. Editor:—The other day I came
in contact with a coach-whip snake.
He switched his tail twicer at me,
and I just let him alone; for a switch
ing snake will kick the third time hr
switches his tail.
Mr. F. M. Beavers had a big log
rolling one day last week, and I got be
hind one of the best dinners I ever
confronted—consisting of cabbage, peas,
pickles, baked sliote, two-story chicken
pies, sliced potato pies, pound cake,
(I don’t mean any of your three-quar
ter cakes, but an old-fashioned cake,
pound of sugar, pound of eggs, pound
of flour, etc.,) sugar custards mixed
with potato batter, coffee with sugar in
it, etc. I never saw as many logs to the
ground. Any one could have walked
over fifteen acres of land and never pul
their feet on the soil.
1 understand there is a varmint in
the Cedar Creek district that is catch
ing chickens, pigs, lambs, and calves.
It is larger than a common size cur.
Elder Dodson filled his regular ap
pointment at Liberty church on last
Saturday and Sunday, and at 3 o’clock
Sunday evening he addressed the Sun
day-school at Roscoe. Mrs. Dodson ac
companied her husband. Mr. Dodson
is a fine speaker and all denominations
like to hear him preach.
I made a trip to the village of Roscoe
last Monday evening, and spent the
night with Mr. J. C. Sewell and family.
Mr. Sewell has a very nice dwelling, a
fine barn and all other out-buildings
necessary to a well-regulated farm. Ib
is oue of Panther Creek’s best farmers,
and has planted for 100 bales of cotton
and 1500 bushels of corn this year. He
has, also, fifteen acres of the finest
wheat in the county.
The other citizens around Roscoe are
doing well.
Roscoe has three doctors. Dr. John
Starr, formerly of Franklin, has recent
ly located there and will practice his
profession. He is said to be one of the
finest physicians in the country.
Mrs. Coates, near Roscoe, is quite
sick.
Col. G. H. Sanders has so far recov
ered as to be able to ride out to his
farm.
Owing to the busy season, ,'Professor
.J. B. Allen’s school has dwindled down
to forty or fifty students.
The hens around Roscoe are laying
ten cent eggs.
Misses Della and Rena Ilesse have
been heard from. They made the trip
all right; but were delayed 14 hours a-
Chattanooga and 10 hours at Sandy.
They give a glowing’ account of the
West and of the Texas people.
April 18th. Ripples.
Corinth.
Mr. Editor:—Things are getting vert
drv in this community. I reckon it is the
right season of the year to put on dus-
te’-s. I saw a fellow fagging under one
Sunday.
Fishing is now in order on New river,
and the boys are gigging the lively
sucker right along I went the other
evening, and found that it was a good
evening for bites—but they came iron;
mosquitoes. My same old luck.
Corinth lias a well organized debating
club now. This is the place for you.
boys. Great benefit is to be derived
front good debating clubs. Here you
can cultivate your reasoning faculties,
and lay the foundation for oratorical
power. The school boys are especi
ally invited to attend.
Picnics are in order. The first t<-
take partin this social necessity will be
the clever and generous people of
Capt. Sims’ neighborhood. They will

When will Corinth Sunday-school
ive their picnic? We must have it.
think we will get it if we tickle Su
perintendent Spearman a little more.

April 17th.
Eureka Mills.
Mr. Editor:—Yesterday our little
town was enlivened with a lot of the
sweetest loveliness, fishing on dry land
as well as the pond. I heard one young
lady howdyingto “Cousin Dixie” of the
Mews. Ah, “Cousin Dixie,” look out!
Mr. A. H. Rawls failing to get the
amount of guano he wanted, has decid
ed to use his own make, prepared from
ground cotton seed and stable manure.
He ought to be an Alliance man.
“L. L. II.” is mashed on Griffin. »So
is “S. A. A.”
In company with our friend, J. TV.
Brakefield, we wended our way to old
Fairview Baptist church yesterday, to
hear the venerable pastor, Rev. R. TV.
Hamrick, of your city. The text wa-
St. John, xvi.: 13—“The Spirit of Trutl
is come subject to human redemption.”
The subject was handled witn that
power that always characterizes Mr.
Hamrick. The Sunday-school here is on
a boom. By special invitation, in com
pany with Rev. Mr. Hamrick, we took
dinner with Mr. H. C. Putman, who i-
accumulating money very rapidly b\
