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 Eureka Mills. 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.

July 4th. Turin. 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 dered the public for their liberal pa tronage, and the aid given in support of The fall term of the school here will open next Monday, the 9tli, and con tinue three months. Another addition to the Cleveland ranks at Prof. C. L. Moses’; for he’s that other boy. Mr. Henry Thompson . and Miss Xolan were married on Sabbath morn- g, Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt officiating. Don’t know why so many are marry ing at this season of the year, unless it is because there is such a large black berry crop. But this crop will soon be out; then what? Old Aunt Nelly Arnall, colored, died on Friday last, aged about ninety years. Thus the old-time race is passing away, and what will follow? Shall we ever witness a true type of the race again? No, never. Miss Myrtice Scroggin and her clever father were mingling with their Turin friends last week. Miss Ophelia Dominick visited friends in Turin on her return from school. Col.

T. . July 3d. 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 Ham secretary and treasurer. Success to them. Mrs. Mollie Camp and daughter, of Jonesboro, Ga., are the guests of Mr. Miles Jones. Mr. W. F. Waldrop, of New Edin burgh, Ark., is now living with Mr. Pat Carmical near here. He is an ex cellent young gentleman. Prof. A. S. Jones is getting along nicely with his singing school. The Sharpsburg Brass Band played for the Turin entertainment last Friday evening. The Turin ladies sent them a card of thanks to-day. The boys al ways play well. Mrs. Angelina Lumpkin is very sick to-day. Mr. Thomas Bohannon and his son, Robert, went to Atlanta last week on a business trip. 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. July 3d. ! There might have been some ! ment in the wheat crop. Two of our most charming young la- div s, Misses Sallie Reeves and Rose Addy, paid a visit to relatives in tin J “Belt” Monday, returning Tuesday, j Judge A., of the Lime Kiln Club.de ; sires to know why Capt. John Carmi ■ chael, from between the “Oaks.” goes j to Brooks Station so often these Sun , days. Miss Mattie Hutchinson, one of Eu reka’ s most lovely young ladies, is vis iting relatives at Ilollonville. Two of Lutherville’s most charming young ladies, Misses Jessie Albright and Jennie Sewell, accompanied by Capt. Jack K. Strickland, paid Haralson a visit last second Sunday. 1 saw Barney R. coming from a north easterly direction last Sunday. Mr. J. B. Cole’s residence on “Broad way” looks charming since painted. Mr. Lum Hardy, of Senoia, came south on the third Sunday. Mr. G. P. Hodnett informs us that he lias “oodles” of cotton blooms. Mr. Oscar Sibley has one and a half acres of the flnest upland corn I ever saw in June. If the seasons hold out 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 is .-aid by some of the white neighbor! that these fusses at Pine Grove are oi frequent occurrence. Monday was de voted by Constable Lankford (of tin upper Ninth,) in making arrests am summoning witnesses. Tuesday wa- spent at Warnerville trying the rioters 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 ate punishment. It strikes me that r is about tjme for the guardians of Mer iwether to disband the Pine Grove col ored church, or the people may be con. pelled to take the law into their owi hands. Uncle Blalock. June 29th. Asleep in Jesus. Charley Hill, infant son of Mr. am Mrs. T. H. Gilbert, of Meriwether county, after an illness of four day.-, died on the 22d ult.—aged two yearr and four days. Asleep in Jesus! O, how sweet! To wake on that beautiful shore; Where in happiness we all shall meet; Where sickness and sorrow is no more. God called him, as a token, To that beautiful world above, That hearts all crushed and broken Might be healed by Heavenly love. On the 9th inst., God saw fit to tak< from us and his beloved family, Mu 1 H. Gilbert, the father of little Charley. What a happy meeting it will be, whet they meet on tlie eternal shore. Mj Gilbert died in his forty-eighth yeai He leaves a wife and a large fannb of children. He was a go« ; neighbor, a kind and affectionate hue band and a devoted father. He had f« a number of years been a citizen £> Coweta county, and had been living -iv. Meriwether only a few months. Happy spirit, peaceful sleep, Calmly resting beneath tne sod; Thou hast past the shining portals, Thou hast gazed upon thy God. June 29th. W.1L ii-
