Mr. Editor:—Our friend, Mr. A. G.
Couth, will establish a school of teleg
raphy here, September 1st. Mr. Couch
lia> attended the best electrical schools
in the United States, and has spared
neither time nor money in preparing

confident he will attain great success.
A better teacher of telegraphy cannot
be found in the State.
Messrs. Hutcheson A Roberts have
let the contract for building a large
brick store on Main street. The build
ing will be 100x20 feet and will be well
furnished. When completed it will
add greatly to the appearance of Mam

Mr. G. R. Kooks and will be completed
by October 1st, next.
A party composed* of Messrs. John
H. Jones, Geo. D. Pollock, Will Glass,

on a picnicking expedition.
Prof. P. D. Pollock left last Thursday
for a visit to his parents, near Rome,
Ga. He will visit the Piedmont Chau
tauqua during his vacation. He was
accompanied by three of the sweetest
little girls in Senoia, Misses Mary
Towns, Eva Jones and Annie Carlton,
and his friend, Mr. Otis Jones.
Dr. A. Q. Young will leave in a few
da vs to take charge of his father’s drug
business at Puckett’s. Dr. *Toung has

ing that time he has made many friends

Mr. Editor:—Rains have been fre
quent and apparently general for the
past two or three weeks. (Tops that
have been kept clean are doing lineiy.
We hear of some farms whose crops
are in a few* -'•■onoitioD, and such crops
-_viVi snstavii more injury. It is,
in our opinion, a serious flusifiKc ^
many farmers fall into in planting all
that they can cultivate under the m >st
favorable conditions, and when exces
sive rains fall or sickness or other un
avoidable circumstances intervene, tney
are placed at a disadvantage which thev
are unable to overcome the balance of
the year. Our judgment is, the greater
profit lies in the smaller crop
" We regret to learn that Mr. Robert
Iverson is quite sick. Hope for im
provement soon.
Mrs. J. O. Towns received a telegram

mence the manufacture of brick for
that purpose at au early day.
A rather serious accident occurred
near the outskirts of our town last Sun
day evening. A Mr. Thompson and
Miss Nolan were buggy riding, when
the animal took fright at a dog, ran
away, broke the buggy, and threw out
the young lady, who was painfully,
though we hope not seriously, injured.
Much to our regret, we feei it a duty
we owe to ourselt to notice, briefly as
possible, some strictures of “Veritas”
in his rejoinder of June 2d. He says:
“I have seen no unusual excitement
except that produced by “Vincent”
and Mr. Smith, and the general opinion
seems to be that but for them there
would have been no bitter words, no
fracas.” The cause of the trouble here
tofore mentioned by us is, by implica
tion at least, laid at our own door. We
here take occasion to say we have no
partnership with Mr. Smith in this
matter, nor with any one else. We are
running our own schedule. In noticing
other points in his rejoinder, we sav
our informants were not inattentive
hearers, nor were we misinformed. We
stated facts; and how one professing
to obey the Scriptural injuction, “take
heed how ye hear,” utterly ignores its
claims when applied to speech, is a
mystery to us.
We have been a citizen of this town
over seventeen years, and our life has
been an open book, and this is the first
time that we have been stigmatized as a
disorderly person, or inciting riotous
conduct in others. But, as “Veritas”
has only been here about seventeen
months, he may claim privileges which
we dare not take. Again, we have not
deemed it necessary to poll the ayes
and nays of the town on this question;
the verdict is with the people. It is
almost painfully evident that “Veritas”
will receive none of our evidence. He
will not believe, though we could call
up one from the dead. That being im
possible, we will do tlie next thing to
it—we wili call up “Veritas”; will put
him upon the stand, and, with all his
artful dodging, surely he will not refuse
to paternize his own offspring. In 1 he
Herald and Advertiser of May
IStb, he says:
“Mr. Stipe preached strongly against
modern dancing on account of its cor
rupt tendencies, but took particular
pains to state that there were chaste
people that danced. In reply to the
argument that dancing was 'in itself’
harmless, he said that such dancing
would not last long.”
Now. what is the legitimate inference
from the two sentences quoted above?
There can be but one conclusion: A
chaste lady may dance, but if she per
sists in it, she cannot be chaste long; a
virtuous lady may dance, but when she
does so she is compromising that jewel
which is above all price, and just so
long as she practices it she is the abet
tor of prostitution. Our mind runs
back into the long ago, and we remem
ber the little girls that danced; we
have known them since they were
married and became mothers, and we
have known them to dance; we know
them as grandmothers; and yet, ac
cording to this unchristian assault, they
have long since become, as the infamous
Beast Butler said of the ladies of New
Orleans, the “common women of the
town.” We cannot help but feel a sort
of pity for a good man who will use
his pen in defense of a position of
very questionable propriety, and lay
himself liable to the charge of trying
to discount the virtue and chastity ot
the motherhood of this country.

Mr. Editor:—W\u\e our people are
content to go on unapplauded in their
progress and prosperity’, still we will
not object if you say to our sister towns
and villages that we are indust rious and
prosperous and are striving to augment
our present prosperity, and that while
thus striving we are very happy. We
already see some of the pleasing and
cheerful results of the renewed energy
which seemed to inspire our people at
rhe beginning of the year. Our people
are employing wonderful efforts to
make and save. They seem to have re
alized the fact that there is a wide dif
ference between their real and ima
ary wants, and are only supplying them
selves with the former; so, the proba
ble result is smaller notes and bills and
accounts with the merchant, and a bet-
ler and happier people. We think ii
can be truthfully asserted that our
(immunity is the most moral in the
county.

Mr. Editor:—'The remains of Mr.
Stephen Martin were brought to this
? lace, (his home,) on Monday morning.
lie circumstances of his tragic death
are as follows: He had gone over to
Carroll, and was engaged in cleaning
out a w’ell which contained gas; finding
that he was about to be overcome, he
ordered the rope lowered, which he
seized and was drawn near the top,
when he gave way and fell a distance
of fortv feet, striking on his head. The
bones of his head and shoulders were
crushed and he was otherwise mangled.
Although no time was lost in raising
him, he only brought a few respirations,
which proved to be his last. Deceased
leaves a widow to mourn his sad mis
fortune. Kind neighbors took the re
mains from the train and buried them
in the cemetery. Thus ends the life of
a faithful and honest well-digger. Con
dolence to the widow.
Your reporter mingled with the good
people of Puckett’s on Saturday and
Sabbath last. The people are both
good and clever, and know full well
how to make a visitor feel that he is
welcome to their midst. Kind enter
tainment was accepted and highly ap
preciated with the following tamilies:
A pleasant night with the family of Dr.
L. loung, a night with Mr. John Cot
ton and family, also a night spent with
Mr. Walker Camp and family, and din
ings with the families of Dr. Couch and
Maj. Bingham. Drs. Young and Couch
stand high in their profession and are
kept active day and night. From the
number of vineyards in and around the
town, theirs will soon be the land for
the faint and weary. Fruit culture has
been undertaken in earnest and under
large investments. With a cannery at
this place there is no reason why fruit
raising might not be quite remunera
tive to those engaging in the business.
Messrs. Camp & Cureton are engaged
in manufacturing fruit baskets and
other vessels for shipping purposes,
amounting to several hundred per day.
The amount of business and extent of
shipping at this point requires a depot.
Why the railroad authorities do nol
give" them a depot is something rather
strange. If railroads wish to build up
manufacturing and shipping along their
lines, it would be wise to give encour
agement in that direction by furnishing
such conveniences as the people really
need and the times demand.
The patrons of Prof. Featherston’s
school speak in high terms of his meth
ods of teaching.
Last Sabbath was a lucky day foi
marriage. Mr. Glenn Arnall and Miss
Emma Summers were married; also
Mr. Starr, of Griffin, and Miss Emma
Edmunson, of Starr’s mills. May pros
perity attend the happy couples.
