Mr. Editor;— Miss Maud Tompkins lias gone to Nashville, where she will again take up her studies at the Normal School. Misses Jessie Zellars and Jen nie Collinsworth have returned to La- Grange and re-entered the Southern Female College. These young ladies are very much missed from society here. Mr. Rob Brannon and Miss Sallie Reynolds, of Puckett Station, were) present at the Missionary meeting here last Sunday evening. A few of the ladies of Grant ville are arranging to make a display of fancy work at the Macon fair. Misses Nona Cotter and Gertie Post have been sick for several days. We are glad to report them very much bet ter. Mr. John Hendrix came down Sun day afternoon and assisted in the musk at the Missionary meeting Sunday eve ning. lie left Monday morning for At lanta, to help in a meeting at Paine’s Chapel. Willie was very much interested in some ice-cream his mother was making; asked a great runny questions in regard to it. His mother finally said: “Now, AVillie, 1 have told you all about it, so don’t say anything more; and when Mrs. Smith comes, don’t you tell her that we are going to have ice-cream for dinner. He said: “No, mamma, I won’t tell Mrs. Smif.” When all were seat ed at the table, Willie looked across the table and said: “Mrs. Smif, we arc goin’ to have somelin des as good and des as cold; I bet you can’t dess what it is!” Mrs. Smith said, “Well, Willie, I think it must be ice-cream.” With a twinkle in his bright eyes, Willie said, “Mamma, she dessed it,-didn’t she ? Horse-back riding is getting to be quite a pleasant pastime with some of our ladies and gentlemen. Amongst them are some very graceful equestri ans. R- N. Oct. 17th. Puckett’s. Mr. Editor:—Mr. John L. Morris has been suffering severely from a bone felon on one of his thumbs. Mr. Fred Hunter, from Turin, attend ed services here last Sunday. Mr. Hunter is a successful merchant, but we are inclined to believe that he’s partial to the Carpenters. Dr. L. B. Webb and Mr. J. E. Jack- son, from Corinth, visited relatives and friends here last Sunday. Mrs. J. T. Mayfield and children vis ited relatives at Palmetto last week. Mr. A. I*. Camp, from Meriwether, was here this week. Capt. T. E. Zellars, from Grantville, came up last Sunday eve to take the train for LaGrange. One of the disad vantages of living in a small town, all the trains do not stop there. ' Dr. Camp is still giving employment to the men who drive nails and saw wood. Miss Jennie Arnall was called to her home at Senoia very unexpectedly last week, on account of her sister’s illness. She has returned, however, leaving her sister much better. T.ast Saturday and Sunday was Rev. ,T. R. Parker’s appointment for this place. Quite an interesting service was Mr. I. M. Shell has returned from Carroll and bought land near Senoia. preferring to spend the remnant of hi- days in his native county. Your scribe attended church in Se noia last Sabbath, and listened to an interesting sermon from Bru. Culpep per. We regret to learn that he is in danger of losing the light of one of his eyes. This would be a severe affliction to him, and a source of regret to his many friends. Miss Mamie Rees and her grandfa ther arrived home on Monday last. Col. W. S. Bailey has raised a fine crop of apples for the market this sea son. Captain llicks, of Payette, paid Tu rin a vi-it ibis week. He speaks of lo cating near by. Some land recently sold in Turin at $100 per acre. Dr. Carmieal, of Roscoe, visited rela tives in these parts a few days since. Amos Fox is on the sick list. Miss Ragsdale has recovered from her late illness. Judge B. F. Cock says his Bible has the book of Ilezekiah iu it. Wonder how many more such Bibles there are in the country ? Reader, look up yours and see it it is like the Judge’s. Rev. Mr. Cornett has bought land in Paulding county, and will move there in a short time. No preaching at the Presbyterian church on last Sabbath, owing to the absence of the pastor. R. A. T. Oct. Kith. Haralson. Mr. Editor:—The quarterly meeting of the Senoia district was held in the Methodist church here yesterday and to-day, that grand old man, Rev. II. H. Parks, presiding. On yesterday the conference licensed two young men from Brooksville church to exercise the gift of exhortation. Their names are Messrs. Kelly and Sears—the latter be ing the son of a Baptist minister. A good delegation was in attendance on both days. Bro. Parks preached to-day to a large congregation— a grand ser mon from a grand old mas. God bless him! lie is full of the love of Christ. May lie live long to encourage Chris tians to work for Christ. “Bill Arp” lectured in Senoia last Friday night to a crowded house. I don’t know, whether he thought I had moved off, or simply forgot to send me a compline ntary ticket. Forgot it, I reckon. Everybody down here seems to be happy over the result of the election. If only the bagging, meat, sugar and coffee trusts would “bust,” and the late cotton bolls would “bust” a little fast er, so that we poor, broken-down, “bus ted” farmers could pay tlie interest on what we owe, we would be happier st ill. In a radius of four miles around Haralson there is the poorest cotton crop that I lur-e seen in fifteen years. Witli the short cotton crop, and with flour up to $7 per barrel and going higher; meat It ecu's, with an upward tendency; sugar and coffee also high, with the rascally trust monopolies punching u.s in the short ribs,—what will become of the poor farmer is an enigma that I can’t solve. Farmers and laborers, why can’t we form a trust among ourselves, and commence, on Panther Creek. If,-. Editor:—Am sorry to learn that Mrs. .T. W. Kelly, of the Seventh dis trict, is quite low and not expected to live. ’Squire .T. A. Byram was stricken with paralysis a few days ago, though he is improving at this writing. Mrs. Martha Carmieal is quite sick with typhoid fever. The church at Macedonia extended her annual pastoral call on Saturday last. Dr. E. B. Barrett was the unani mous choice of the church, making the ninth successive call that he has re ceived from this congregation. The funeral of Tin. T. Hyde was preached on Sunday last by Dr. Bar rett. Mr. M. N. Sewell smiles because it is another fine boy. Uncle Jerry Magsby, a good old color ed man, is lying quite low with typhoid fever. Then two widowers cnm\*ntrate their favor and attentions upon one young lady, it is enough to arouse the sympa thy <>f the «‘Titire community'. Our young folks enjoyed a nice candy pulling at Mr. Lewclling Smith’s last Monday night. Mr. Humphrey' Stamps, of Cedar Creek district, has an extraordinary nancy goat. She has dropped eight kids wit hiuelevcn months and had only two litters three the first time and five the last. They are all living and doing well. If a fellow could keep gnats and religion together I would engage in the goat industry on a small scale. I am half inclined to try a pair anyhow. Mr. D. A. Montgomery, of the Sev enth district, is tin* boss ’possum catch er of this section. He caught four fine ones in a single tree the other night. I!.* has I lie fim >! dog for the business in tire county. Rirri.ES. Oct. !7tli. * Queer People. This is the title of the latest, and by all odds the most charming book for little people we have ever seen. Its fa bles, or Tories, are delightful, hut the illustrations are simply immense. 'The am Inn-, I’aimer Cox, is a newstar in the juvenile firmament, but he shim s with unique brilliancy. Ilis charming fables rival those of the world famed YEsop, and he far out shines tli.it celebrated literary comet by "his inimitable illustrations. He dresses up his lti,ijs > animals, insects, giants, fairi“s, goblins, etc., in grotesque style ami make i hem reason, talk, dance, and cut up all so:ts of .the oddest pranks in a unable, affording infinite delight, as well a> excellent instruction to the young. 'I he issue of his book “Queer People” lias brought a perfect ovation of j.raise limn i lie brightest men ill the lam!. For instance, Gen. Clinton B. !-Vk says: “It basset my children wild a-nth delight,” and Col. Russell II. Con- weil, the Ninons lecturer, says: “Don’t semi me another such a book, lor I can’t get my children to bed.” The famous statesman, diplomat, and wit. bun Set Cox, says: “The Kweer Kapers are simply incomparable,” while the distinguished theologian, Dr. Howard Crosby, says: “They have the fascination that belongs to YEsop and Uncle Remus,” and the venerable poet, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, w rites: “1 am sorry I have not a nurse ry full of little folks to enjoy its bright pict ures and stories.” NTs op’s fables are enjoyed by old and young and are quoted by the greatest j orat ors,and surely these equally charm ’ ingstories, so profusely and exquisitely will charm young and old held before preaching on Sunday, con- j the 25th inst’"to sow oats, wheat,' rye j y ° Ung sisting of the baptism and reception of j antl p ar j e y plentifully; and every rainy !
