FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Senola.
Mr. Editor:—Albert Rawls is dead.
A noble young man, ill the fullest sense,
has fallen. We hazard nothing in say
ing he was most dutiful to his parents,
kind and courteous to friends, honora
ble and upright in all his intercourse
and dealings with his fellows, quiet and
unobtrusive among his associates, and
was esteemed and loved by all. A fath
er’s and mother’s heart bleed over the
loss of a kind, loving and obedient son;
but in this dark, sad hour, light springs
up—he was a Christian young man-
ami God grant that the hope of meet
ing beyond the “smiling and the weep
ing” may give them strength to endure
and submit to this, the saddest afflic
tion of their lives, and find comfort in
the precious promises of divine truth.
Deceased was 22 years of age, and died
of typhoid fever. To the parents and
bereaved relatives our own heartfelt
sympathies are extended.
Since our last, much feeling has
been excited in regard to the burning of
the Alliance cotton warehouse here.
Certain matters have come to light
which bear strongly against the propri
etor, Mr. Rodgers—so much so that he
was arrested to-day (Wednesday) in
Griffin, and an officer has been sent to
bring him here to-morrow for an inves
tigation, or trial. At this writing we
forbear entering into any of the details,
as they are currently reported, prefer
ring to await future developments. A
gentle hint here might not be out of
place, and that is, never be in too great
a hurry to embrace or set up strangers
in business, unless they come well rec
ommended and vouched for by well-
known, responsible parties.
We learn that our friend and fellow-
citizen, Mr. W. II. Lankford, is a candi
date for County Treasurer. As is well-
known, he is an afflicted man and la
bors hard to make a living. We believe
him to be constitutionally honest and
capable, and if the good people of the
county' should see proper to confer this
responsible position of trust upon him
that he will perform its duties faithful
ly, and they will never have cause to re
gret the kindness conferred upon him.
He is a poor man, (and there are
lots of us in the same fix,) but he is hon
orable and high-toned, and if honored
with this position the county’s financial
interests will be just as safe as if he were
a millionaire.
Well, our feelings to-day have been
changeable—blue, streaked, spotted,
and various other hues, grades, condi
tions, etc., until late this afternoon
some news reached us which rendered
us more hopeful that the newspaper
majorities of Mr. Harrison might be so
reduced as to give Mr. Cleveland an
other four years’ lease on the White
House. So mote it be.
Mr. J. T. Jones has been on a visit to
Southwest Georgia. He returned yes
terday, accompanied by Mrs. Forth,
Mrs. Jones’ mother.
Dr. Brantly visited the city of Griffin
yesterday. Dr. J. M. Couch paid his
respects to the village to-day, also.
Mr. Elam Deracken is taking in Ma
con and the State Fair this week.
Mr. J. Y. Xolan visited his brother,
Mr. J. H; Nolan, at Knoxville, Ga.,
last week.
Mrs. David Nolan and Miss Willie
Nolan, daughter of Rev. James Nolan,
have been very sick, but at this writing
we are glad to know they are improv
ing.
Mr. J. R. Brantly spent last Sunday ;
with his family here. He has been lo- j
cated at Culloden some time, buying '
cotton for S. M. Inman & Co.

other obligations must be met. At this
season of the year, while so many claims
are being presented for collection, the
farmers are pushed to their utmost ca
pacity in meeting them. Too much gu
ano is used. If there were less, there
would be more money in the hands of
the farmer at the end of the year. He
should use the same spectacles in the
spring that give him such a clear vision
in the fall of the year.
When will the “Farmer”-“Ripples”
controversy end? Seems like it is a stale
subject for the general reader, and
might be boiled down a little.
Mr. Neal Moses, of Carrollton, came
down Sunday afternoon on a visit. His
family returned with him Monday
morning.
Mrs. Martha Summers, widow of
Henry Summers, was sent from this
place to the asylum at Milledgeville on
Tuesday last, this being the second
time that she has been sent to that in
stitution for treatment. We sincerely
trust that she will be benefited by the
treatment ami restored to her family
and friends sound and well.
Messrs. J. A. Hunter and II. C. Ar-
nall, of your city, wore here on hist
Monday. Mr. Joe Wynn was also
among us, selling cotton. As a cotton
market Turin is ahead this season.
Mrs. Frances North, of Sharpsburg,
is quite unwelT.

Mr. Editor:— The most important
election since the war has come and
gone, and ere this reaches your readers
the result will be widely known. At
this precinct everything passed off
quietly, with only one vote for the Pro
hibition candidate, and that was cast
by a colored minister living in Turin.
The balance of the negroes voted for
Harrison and high tariff, just as though
they understood the meaning of the is
sue. I am truly glad that the contest
is over, and hope for a time that rest
and tranquility will reign throughout
the land.
Mr. Ed Smith has gone to North
Georgia for the purpose of buyingland.
The result of his trip is not yet known,
as he has not returned. The same gen
tleman has invented a churning ma
chine that seems to be a decided im
provement upon other patents of that
character.
This week has been one of unusual
activity in the cotton market. A large
amount of guano cotton has been de
livered.
It occurs to the writer that too many
debts fail due at the same time. Would
it not be better for the farmer to ar
range his contracts in future so that he
will not be pressed so closely in meet
ing his obligations? November is the
critical month of the year, for it is then
that bank notes, guano notes, and all
Haralson.
Editor:—l had the pleasure of
entertaining a mighty nice candidate
last Wednesday at dinner—Mr. J. II.
Summers—who wishes to collect our
taxes next year. I find him a clever,
honest, Christian gentleman, worthy, I
think, of the suffrage of the people. I
hope he may receive enough votes to
elect him. Georgia, you know, has pro
vided for her maimed soldiery, and why
not change the schedule a little and
give an office occasionally to those who
have ever stood in the front ranks of
the true Democracy?
That grand old man of God, Rev. R.
W. Hamrick, of your city, was on our
streets also last Wednesday, the guest
of Rev. B. W. Williams. Our people
are .always glad when Uncle Hamrick
comes among us.
Mrs. Nannie Harrison, of the “Belt,”
spent this week with her sister, Mrs. B.
W. Williams.
Mrs. Dr. James Taylor, of Luther
ville, was the guest of Uncle Billy and
Aunt Mary Taylor at the “Magnolia”
last Tuesday. Also, Miss Julia Hod-
nett, a charming young lady from Se-
noia.
Miss Eula Braketield, a charmin',
young lady of Harris county, and niece
of our fellow-townsman, Mr. .J. W.
Braketield, Is visiting her uncle this
week.
Mr. G. M. Roberts, of the “Belt,” has
been quite sick, but is better at this
writing.
Mr. J. J. TIerndon, of the “Belt,” has
purchased the Tom Garrison property,
near the Baptist church.
Mr. Albert Bawls, of Eureka Mills,
who left home last March and engaged
in business with Messrs. Silvey & Co.,
Atlanta, returned home three weeks
since on a visit to his parents. The day
following his arrival he was taken vio
lently ill with typhoid fever, and
breathed his last on Sunday a. m., 4th
inst., at 3 o’clock. All that medical
skill and tender nursing could do was
rendered, but to no avail. Albert was
22 years of age, and until his last fatal
illness was the picture of health. He
was a strict member of the Evangelical
Lutheran church here, and one of those
noble types of young manhood whom
everybod5 r —young and old, white and
colored—love to honor. He was uni
versally popular, and his untimely
death has cast a gloom over the entire
community. The Lime Kiln Club loses
its brilliant organizer; the Masonic
lodge one of its brightest members; the
church a faithful communiaant; society
one of its most polished and genial mem
bers. Hosts of friends mourn his loss.
May the comforting influence of the
Holy Spirit give to the stricken family
the consolation of the gospel.
Nov. 4th. Bradley.
• Panther Creek.
Mr. Editor:—In my last letter I sta
ted that we had no serious cases of sick
ness in the community at the time of
writing. I had not been advised then
of the illness of Miss Dallas Gordon, or
of Mrs. Elizabeth Lipham, and it is
with deep sorrow that I am called upon
to chronicle the death of both. For
one who had just arrived at the age of
young womanhood and entered upon
the pleasures of life— one who was the
pride of a loving mother, an affection
ate father, and devoted brothers and
sisters—to be cut down in the bloom of
youth, ie a sad blow to her family and
friends; but that Gcd who ga^e her
being has called her hence, to that
“mansion not made with Llhuc, eter
nal in the heavens.” At 11 o’clock test
Saturday night, Sti inst., her sweet spir
it took its flight, and the lovely form
was stilled forever in death. While
heaven dawned upon her enraptured
eyes and ears with sights and sounds of
seraphic glory, angels wafted her im
mortal spirit away, to return no more
forever. Macedonia church has lost a
bright jewel, the broken-hearted father
and mother an affectionate and dutiful
daughter. Deceased lacked only a few
days of being 15 years old. Rev. W. W.
Carmical conducted the funeral ser
vices. Our entire community sympa-
iiizes with the stricken family.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lipham, whose death
occurred on Saturday also, wuis 73 years
of age, and was an inmate of the Coun
ty Foor Farm. She was a good woman
and has gone to that happy bourne
whence no traveler returns.
Miss Lula House has been quite sick,
but I learn is better at this writing.
Mrs. J. L. Doster is very low with an
attack of fever.
Prof. C. P. Sanders has been chosen
principal of the school at Macedonia.
Several good citizens of Panther Creek
district will shortly remove to north
west Alabama. We dislike to lose such
families as Messrs. W. ,J. Miller, Elder
Willis Jordan, Cousin John’s family,
and perhaps others.
In announcing the name of Mr. W.
W. Pearson in your paper last week you
stated that he was a candidate for Tax
Receiver. This is a mistake. He is a
candidate for the office of Tax Collect
or, and requests that the correction be
made promptly. Riffles,

Mr. Editor:—Married, near Oakland,
on the 6th inst., at the residence of the
bride, Mrs. Eliza Keith to Mr. Jona
than Albright, of Lutherville. May
peace and happiness atteud them.
Miss Mattie Hines, after a pleasant
visit to friends and relatives here, re
turned to her home in Carroll Monday.
Miss Effie Reeves is visiting her
cousin, Miss Loretta Hines.
Col-. F. A. Pierce and W. C. Kinnard,
of Uogiin.sville, were in town one day
last week looking after some legal busi
ness.
Saturday and Sunday the fourth quar
terly meeting was held at this place.
The presiding elder, Rev. T. F. Pierce,
preached two very able and eloquent
sermons while here.

In Memory of Little Fred and H. M.
Little children, evt r.going—ever going;
J-sus rail* for them to go;
All tli- wint'-r time they’re pussing,
.Softly is th<- fallen sr.ow.
When tiie violets in the spring-!line
Dutch the azure of the sky,
They’re curried out to slumber,
Sweetly, where the violets lie.
They are going ever going,
When the summer earth is dressed,
In their cold hands holding roses,
Folded to each silent breast;
When the autumn hangs red banners
• »ut above the harvest sheaves,
They are g'-iug, ever going,
Thick and last like falling leaves.
Two more bright jewels have been
added to the kingdom of heaven—Fred,
son of Dr. and Mrs. T. B. DavLs, aged
four years, and II. M., son of Mr. and
Mrs. II. M. Arnold, aged three years.
They died September 28th and 29tli,
18S8. They were both great sufferers,
and it was hard to stand by, unable to
aid them, with their bright eyes plead
ing for relief when their tongues refused
to speak. Everything possible was done
to alleviate the sufferings of these sweet
children, but to no avail. They were
needed to complete the jewels of the
Master’s crown. Both were bright and
loving children, winning the hearts of
old and young. At home they were in
deed the joy of the households. Long
shall we remember all their winning
ways—their pretty, playful smiles-
their tricks, their mimicry and all their
little wiles.
It was well-nigh heartbreaking to
their parents. Oh, how they will miss
the little arms to clasp them, the inno
cent lips they have kissed so often. But
it will be consoling to know that little
Fred and H. M. were made cherubs of
the sky while their souls were still
stainless and pure.
They have gone—only gone,
Out of pain into bliss;
Out of sad and sinful weakness
Into perfect holiness.
Snowy brows, no cares shall shade them:
Bright eyes, tears shall never dim;
Rosy lips, no time shall fade them —
Jesus calls them unto Him.
Little hearts forever stainless,
Little hands as pure as they,
Little feet by angels guided
Never a forbidden way.
They an cone—only §ms-
Leuvins many a lovely spot;
But 'tis Jesus who has called them—
“Sutler, and forbid them not."
