Mr. Editor:—The surrounding section
of country has been blessed with line
seasons, though in town the showers
have been light; yet they have done
much good and the crops are putting
on a healthy look. The stand of cotton
is not perfect, but no doubt will be
good after a few days of warm sun
shine.
A meeting of some interest has been
going on for several days at the Meth
odist church, conducted by the pastor,
Rev. .T. W. Stipe. He preached a ser
mon last Sunday night from the text:
“Re not deceived; evil communications
corrupt good manners.” His discourse
was directed mainly against dancing,
and that the practice was one of lust.
Divest it of that propensity and there
would be no dancing. While we are
opposed to dancing from principle, yet
there are those who practice it, and see
no harm in it, who are as chaste and
virtuous as-those who oppose it; and
a charge of lust against such is, we think,
pushing an opinion beyond proper
bounds. The discourse formed the
basis of street talk on Monday,
and the extremes went so far as
to involve some parties in trouble. Our
opinion is that, knowing a large por
tion of our good people to he opposed
to public balls, or dances, a proper re
gard for their feelings should deter any
gentleman from imposing on their feel
ings or desires in that respect. A pri
vate affair of the kind would he their
privilege and right, though we could
not give it our personal indorsement.
It, is to he hoped, however, that the
good sense and judgmeut of our people
will not allow these things to interfere
with the pleasant social relations here
tofore existing.
Several cases of ice-cream poisoning
have occurred in our town recently.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Dennis prepared
some ice-cream for tlieir family and in
vited three of Mr. J. K. Brantly’s
hildren to partake, and it was not long
before all the parties became very sick.
Mr. Dennis and his youngest child were
fearfully ill, hut by promptly calling in
medical aid all were relieved, though
serious fears were entertained for the
recovery of the youngest child for some
time. Reading of so many similar
cases, with occasional fatal results, we
would urge the greatest caution in the
use of vessels for that purpose. The
greatest safety would he in the aban
donment of the luxury.
There will he a union picnic of the
Sabbath-schools of this place at Park
ers’ pull next Friday. A gala-day for
the young people.
We regret to announce the serious
illness of Mr. W. F. Sibley. He has
been declining for some time. We hope
for a favorable change soon.
Mr. J. T. Smith’s eldest son, Gates,
had a serious attack of cramp-colic
Tuesday morning. He is better now.
Another son, Freddie, is laid up wit h
a stone-bruise. A good many hoys
know what that is.
Miss Della Peck is spending some
days among friends in Griffin.
Mrs. Flem Arnall is visiting kindred
and friends in Atlanta this iveek.
Mr. S. O. Smith is off to the Gate
City this w r eek, to take in the cavalry
parade, the Democratic State Conven
tion and well, not the artillery
punch.

.Mr. Editor:—Ho! for the nice rains!
Mr. James P. Camp made a business
trip to LaGfange hist week.
Prof. W. S. Featherston and lady vis
ited relatives at Decatur last week.
Miss Minnie Moore, from the La
Grange Female College, Yvas taken sick
at school and has been at home all the
week. We are glad to hear that she is
improving and will, perhaps, resume
her studies this iveek.
Mr. F. S. Cureton has been out on the
road this week, traveling in behalf of
Camp & Cureton’s veneering estab
lishment. Mr. Cureton sold a car-load
of grape boxes while gone. Tlieir bus
iness is all they could ask for, seeming
ly. They run, with one engine, a grist
mill, saw mill, planing and dressing
machine, and veneering machinery,
composed of different parts.
Twenty-four hundred quarts of straw
berries have been sold and shipped from
this point the past week. They were
picked from three acres instead of six,
as was stated in your last issue. The
price of berries has been considerably
reduced, compared to the way the mar
ket opened, but even now, at 10c. per
quart, the shippers realize a handsome
profit.
Messrs. Benson Camp and John H.
Hendrix attended the picnic at Haral
son on last Saturday.
Prof. Jos. Quillian and his estimable
lady, from LaGrange, visited the fami
ly of Mr. H. W. Camp last w-eek.
‘ We are glad, indeed, to hear that Mr.
W. D. Dennie is improving. He has
been at his mother’s, near Lutherville,
for some time, and is now under the
treatment of Dr. John Taylor.
The outside work of the new church
is complete, painted, etc. A prettier
church, made of wood, cannot he found
an v where.
Mr. B. M. Couch has been plowing
some cotton for the second time. He
can’t heat “Zube” on a melon-patch or
garden, though.
The largest and seemingly the hap
piest crowd that lias been at Puckett’s
for some time was assembled here on
last Friday, 4th inst. The Sunday-
school from Palmetto met us here in a
union picnic, besides many others from
every direction. An address of wel
come was delivered to the visitors by
Col. F. A. Quillian, of Atlanta. Col.
R. M. Holley, representing the Pal
metto Sunday-school, replied in a Y'ery
short but most appropriate manner.
Mr. John Hendrix then sang a song of
his own selection, which no one else
could render and produce the same
effect. Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt, of Turin,
then entertained the audience for an
hour or more in his usual interesting
way. The announcement for dinner
was then made, and a prettier table,
laden with everything likely to tempt
the appetite of man, we never saw. The
afternoon was spent in social conversa
tion by the older people, and enjoyable
games hY' the young folks. The “La
dies’ Aid and Church Society’ are to
he congratulated upon having furnished
refreshments to the crowd, and we are
glad to know the .result was profitable
to their society. Zl’BETUS-

Turin.
Mr. Editor:—A small child of Mr.
Drewry Summers had the misfortune
to get an arm broke on Friday of last
week, by falling from an elevated
flooring. Mr. Summers has been hav
ing considerable sickness in his family
this spring, and now this painful acci
dent befalling them makes the case one
of deep sympathy.
Turin picnicked at Line Creek last
Saturday, and had a large fry of fish
and many other tine appetizing things
for the inner man. The Turin ladies
know just how to do things nicely and
are never excelled in what they pro
pose. The children and young people
enjoyed the occasion splendidly. One
casualty to report, which was caused
by a gentleman dropping his artificial
teeth in a deep slough of water, and
having to dive for them. The little
boys laughed hugely at this perl'ornt-
ance, hut the lost members were re
covered in time for the gentleman to
keep his corner around the pan.
Mr. Fd. Bridges has sold his home
place to Messrs. Martin and Stewart.
Mr. Sanford Gay and family, of
White Water, were mingling among
their Turin friends this week.
The rains set in Friday evening, giv
ing us daily showers for several days
and causing vegetation to hound forth
with renewed life.
Mr. J. D. Arnold is going the rounds
on his commission as school enumera
tor. He also states that he finds the
citizens in favor of repealing the City
Court of Newnan, so far as it applies
to those not within the corporate limits
of the city. If the city of Newnan
needs a City Court, and is willing to
bear the expenses of the same, by all
means let her have it. If it is of no
use to the county, let that part of the
law he stricken out. Let’s not have
courts multiplied just to keep up work
for the lawyers.
Mr. Thomas Hunnicutt visited ms
father’s family last week, hut has re
turned to college.
Capt. Pinckard Smith and liey. J. B.
Hunnicutt attended the picnic last
Friday at Puckett’s.
There was a waste of wool in a te-ff
of manhood between two of the “bret li
re li in black” on the farm of Prof.
Moses a l'ew r days since. No other dam

Mr. Editor, if the spirit of gaming,
racing, base-bailing, ete., continues,
what will become of the riotous youth
of the country? How much precious
time is thus iost ! Who can tell the
amount of money thus spent, and
what of the hearing upon the morals
of the country? From all such there
will spring a crop of evil that will tell
some day, either to society or individu
als. A reaping time must come. Ilap-

Mr. Editor:—The farmers of thi*

The singing at the Baptist church
last Sunday was a success. Messrs.
Williams and Burdette scored another
success. We had some as fine organ
music as we have ever heard. The or
ganists for the day were Miss Gustne

At 11 o’clock Dr. Cousins ascended
the sacred desk and delivered one o:
the soundest discourses 1 ever heard.
The subject of discussion was “The
Way of Salvation.” The Doctor’s el

audience. The house was too small to
