and
that was the thoughtless act of some
one in taking off the taps of the axles
of the wagon occupied by the Brass
Band. The result was that while this
wagon was on its return home, at a late
hour, on a road crowded with ve
hicles, the wheels ran off, letting the
wagon and cargo down into the street,
causing the team to become unruly and
frightening other teams, thereby en
dangering life and limb. There was
nothing smart, funny, clever or clean
in the act, but just the reverse. The
parties ave spotted and will be held ac-
j countable for their conduct

Mr. Editor:—We of this neighbor
hood have had, it seems to me, more
rains and harder ones since the third
Sunday in May, than I ever saw before.
Such grass as we farmers will have
will astonish the “natives” ! I suppose
we can gather a tine hay crop. Crops
look line, notwithstanding the excessive
rains. The oat crop was never better.
i mprove-
We are now prepared to do all kinds of Carriage,
Buggy and Wagon work, and in a style that cannot be
excelled in the State, or anywhere else. Our work
men are skillful and efficient; our material the best
that money will buy; our equipment thorough and
complete in every department. In fact, we have spar
ed neither pains nor expense in preparing for the bus
iness, and our facilities for doing work in this line are
first-fclass in every respect.
We have on hand the finest lot of material ever put into buggy or carriage work in this
section of the State, and workmen that know exactly how to put it together. We do not
get our vehicles “knocked down,” from the North, as many other manufacturing films do, but
make them out and out. This is our strongest recommendation. Y\ e manufacture

Mr. Editor:—The supper given by
the Helping Hand Society on Friday
evening last was a success in more res
pects than one. The supper itself was
superb and was well patronized, bring
ing in the handsome sum of ninety-dol-
lars, which will be appropriated to
church purposes. Too much praise
cannot be awarded the ladies for their
noble work. A church of such heroines
as compose Dr. Stacy’s parishioners hi
this place is bound to succeed.
Through this medium thanks are ten

tronage, and the aid given in support of

Mr. Henry Thompson . and Miss
Xolan were married on Sabbath morn-
g, Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt officiating.

berry crop. But this crop will soon be
out; then what?

Sharpsburg,
Mr. Editor.—Last Saturday, at 3 r. M.,
quite a number of our citizens assem
bled at the academy to hear Hon. W.
Y. Atkinson >pe.ik. After eLcting
Dr. D. II. Brown ehairma , Mr. Atkin
son was introduced. lie spoke about
an hour, lie took up the most impor
tant questions that are agitating the
public now—such questions as the State
road, public schools, prohibition, City
Court, the protection of labor, the
tariff, the election of a United States
Senator and a Railroad Commissioner,
the Agricultural Department, etc. He
discussed these subjects in an intelli
gent, statesmanlike manner, setting
forth his views in straightforward, em
phatic language. Coweta ought to be
proud of him. After Mr, Atkinson had
spoken, Col. John F. Methvin was in
troduced, followed by Mr. W. T. Ar
nall. Both spoke at some length and
made a favorable impression upon the
assembled voters. It was a real politi
cal feast, and we would be glad to have
them come among us oftener.
The ladies here have organized the
Ladies’ Aid Society, by electing Mrs.
Ella Brown president, and Mrs. Corrie

While your correspondent was at
the postoffice a few days ago some
readers of your excellent paper were
commenting on the Sharpsburg letter,
and said: “Who is B. CY? He misspells
his words. What does ‘B. C.’ stand
for?” “Before Christ,” remarked one;
“Bov Correspondent,” said another. I
suppose they did not know that the
type-setter 'made a misprint some
times. They “whispered” almost too
loud. I think they ought to speak
more favorably of me, for they might
want “B. C.” to puff them up a little
some time, and he might remember the
above. B. C.

Mr. J. B. Cole’s residence on “Broad

Mr. Lum Hardy, of Senoia, came

Mr. G. P. Hodnett informs us that he

Mr. Oscar Sibley has one and a half
acres of the flnest upland corn I ever

his prospects are good for 75 Jjushels
per acre.
Dr. Cousins, last Sunday, delivered
one of those eloquent sermons for which
his gifted mind seems so well qualified,
at the Haralson Baptist church.
Last Sunday, at the colored Baptist
church, two and a half miles from
Haralson, in Meriwether county, oc
curred a most disgraceful riot among
the “nation’s wards.” Spence Bishop,
one of the deacons, was compelled in
behalf of the church, peace and good
order to have eighteen warrants issued.
Among them was one against the good
deacon, George Alford, who at one
gulp swallowed down the whole bottle
of sacramental wine and then proposed
to whip the pastor, Bro. Gaston, and
all the church, The good deacon’s
nouth flew open, and the oaths de
scended alike upon the just and the un
just. Rocks, sticks and knives were
brought into action, and for awhile il
was thought that the Republican part)
would lose some valuable votes. Onl)
a few iieads'were cracked,^however. B

I learned yesterday that a compromis*
was effected by the miscreants payinj
the costs. Now, Mr. Editor, was tha'
compromise legal? Can a Justice Cour
compromise with rioters who disturi
public -worship and the public peace,
on the Sabbath day, and frighten wo
men and children by their drunken ca
rousals? I think, sir, a public indigua
tion meeting should be called by tin
white citizens, and let that compromls-
be condemned. If what I have heart
be true, I hope Meriwether’s next grarw
jury will investigate the conduct of tbt
Justice Court officials who releasee
these outrageous rioters with no other
punishment save costs of the Court.
Great Scott!—what are we coming to.
when these scoundrels are allowed t<
go free by merely paying the costs im
posed by a Justice Court! Give us t
City Court at every voting precinct ii
Georgia, that disturbers of the pnbli>
peace may receive justice and imruedi

pelled to take the law into their owi
hands. Uncle Blalock.

To that beautiful world above,
That hearts all crushed and broken
Might be healed by Heavenly love.
