Mr. EditorRev. and Mrs. J. R.
Parker celebrated their china wedding,
at the Methodist parsonage, in Grant-

were elaborately and artistically ar
ranged by Mrs. Sadler and Misses Pye
and Webster. The front verandah was
prettily lighted with Chinese lanterns.
Hot In use plants and many-hued chrys
anthemums gave the hall quite an at
tractive appearance. The mantel and
tables in the parlor were banked with
pink, white and red chrysanthemums
and trailing vines. Soon after the ar

Mr. Editor .-—Richard Hunter, a son
of Mr. “Doc” Hunter, was shot and
painfully wounded last Friday by the
accidental discharge of a gun in the
hands of a negro boy. The negro boy
made a misstep and fell, and in falling
the gun was discharged, the load taking
effect in the ankle joint of young Hunt
er. Drs. North and Gay dressed the
wound, but were unable to extract the
shot. With careful attention it is hop
ed that the wound will heal without
producing any serious results.
Dr. Stacy filled his regular appoint
ment at this place on Saturday and
Sabbath last. Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt
filled his pulpit here on Sunday last,
also.
Several parties from Senoia were in
attendance upon church services here
la t Sunday. Also, Mrs. Glenn Scrog-
gin and Miss Maud Scroggin, of your

Mr. John Russell is offering hLs valu

most desirable piece of property, and
any one wishing to purchase a small
farm convenient to market, churches,

Mrs. “Doc” Gordon is quite sick.
Mrs. Nancy Sweatman, an inmate of
the County Poor Farm, is reported se
riously ill.

dence of the bride’s father in this dis

While at Moreland the other day we
were shown through the workshops of
Messrs. Camp & Cureton. This firm
gives employment to quite a number of
hands, and is the only establishment of
the kind in the State, the special line of
manufacture being fruit crates and
baskets. 1 noticed five or six little boys
engaged in putting baskets together,
and learned that each hand made from
seventy-five to one hundred baskets
per day. They receive for this work
one cent for each basket made. The
baskets are made of swamp wood, such
as could not be utilized for any other
purpose.
The Messrs. Camp also run a rub ie
grnnery at Moreland, and it is one of
the. most complete establishments of
the kind that I ever saw. The machin
ery ; s all first-class, and comprises ev
ery improvement needed to make a gin
nery outfit complete. They will gin
fully one thousand bales this season, if
not more. There is a steam grist mill
connected with the establishment also,
which turns out an excellent qua]it} - of
meal.
The fruit industry at this place is a
leading feature in the p press and de
velopment which have u. rked the in
dustrial growth of the community ii
recent years, and will be worth many
thousands of dollars annually to those
engaged in it. About one hundred arid
ten acres are now planted in grapes
and strawberries at this place, not in
cluding the large acreage devoted to
other fruits. As a result of the interest
manifested in this direction real estate
in and around Moreland has, within a
comparatively brief period, advanced
from $8 and MO to $30, $40, $50, and
even $100 per acre.
There are two churches in the town—
Methodist and Baptist—a fine academy,
and three first-class mercantile estab
lishments. I was told that either of
these firms sold as many goods as any
house in Newnan—save, perhaps, three
or four of your leading firms. They pay
Newnan prices for cotton, and I saw
wagon loads of the staple brought in
from Meriwether and surrounding
country even during my brief stay. The
railroad authorities are erecting a fine
depot here now, and there is already
a large warehouse near the railroad.
There are about three hundred inhabi
tants and many handsome residences.
There are five good physicians in the
place. The people can’t be excell
ed for enterprise, worth and cleverness
in the State. It was my good fortune
to share the hospitalities of Dr. L. S.
Young and lady while in Moreland, to
whose kindness and attention I am in
debted for a very pleasant visit, as well
as to other friends for courtesies ex
tended while in their midst.
"While on this line I must not forget
to acknowledge the kindness of Bro.
“Vanpelt” and lady for their generous
treatment of a poor wayfaring candi
date while on a recent visit to the
Fourth district; also, to Capt. Ander
son and lady.
Some appear anxious for the contro
versy between “Farmer” aud “Rip
ples” to be continued, while others
don’t seem to have much interest in
the discussion. I have no desire to ob
trude ray views upon the public. What
I have written concerning the Agricul
tural Department has been undertaken
in gi.od faith, with no other intention
drowned last Saturday evening in an
unusual way. A mule and the mare
were placed in a field beyond the creek,
and to prevent the mare from wander
ing about her head was tied downta^
her foot by means of a halter. Intkre
evening the mule was taken out to do
some hauling and about night the mare
attempted to cross the lord of the creek
to come home. The ford is not a great
distance from where the creek runs into
the river. The river was rising fast at
the time, and had backed up in the
creek until the water was about waist
deep at the ford. Her head being tied
down, when the mare entered the
stream of course her Iie.n-I was kept
under the water. Sliest niggled across,
but nussed a little t he coming-out place
and turned upstream and vrasdrowned.
This is mentioned that ot hers may avoid
similar accidents.

for those in authority, and in one hun

the difference.

port being circulated by some one de
rogatory to the character of Mr. “Dick”

which he says is false and can be so
proven. I consider these false reports
a splendid advertisement. Mr. Ward
has lived among us several years and
we think we know him. We are going
to vote for him, and will not lie alone
either. Mr. W. is entirely worthy, a

one that he ought to receive the nomi
