The decorations 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.

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 city. White Oak Grove church has called Rev. R. C. Rhodes to the pastorate of that church for the incoming year. Mr. Wilbur Jones, of Turin, has sold his Fayette county farm to Mr. Joseph Delk, and it is understood will locate in the vicinity of Concord, Pike coun ty. Mr. John Russell is offering hLs valu able farm near town for stile. This is a most desirable piece of property, and any one wishing to purchase a small farm convenient to market, churches, schools, mills, etc., will do well to con sult Mr. Rus~ell. an af- a kind and obliging friend. We tender our condolence to the sorrowing relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. J. Morgan. Mrs. “Doc” Gordon is quite sick. Mrs. Nancy Sweatman, an inmate of the County Poor Farm, is reported se riously ill. Married, on the 9th inst., at the resi dence of the bride’s father in this dis trict, ’Squire J. T. Henderson officia ting, Mr. David Brimer and Miss Ida Moore. 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. D d I u ever know a mart to put his fish basket on dry lain! and catch fish? A siiui’L lime ago, when the river was rising, "d «t Houston took his basket oui oi tin liver ami put, it on the bank, t he ' > r emit inued to rise and covered the basket, and there being bait in It, when the water recoded it was found t© be nearly lull of fish, haring nearly thir ty ooqnds in it, VlDETTE. Nov. 15th, Haralson. Mr. E< 7 <tor:—All quiet along the line. Th u w h s' o tr Grover we’ve got as good a .President as the Rads; and I reckon we can stand it if they can. Now let us all rally around the Demo- cra' ie standard and refrain from abus ing tlie administration, but pray rather for those in authority, and in one hun dred years from to-day we will not know the difference. Next conies our county canvass, which is waxing warm. There is a re port being circulated by some one de rogatory to the character of Mr. “Dick” Wa rd (< ur candidate for Tax Collector,) 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 simple look at whom should convince one that he ought to receive the nomi nation. Mr. Jesse Rawls, of Eureka Mills, has been sick several days, but is convales cent at this writing. Misses Jessie Albright and Nannie Martin, two of Lutherville’s most charming young ladies, will spend next week .it the “Magnolia.” Mrs. Mary Taylor and son, Benjamin, visited Troup county last week. Not. 12th. Blalock. LuthersTille. Mr. Editor:—Miss Lily Williams, of Ellaville, is the guest of her cousin, Miss Mary Lou Williams. Miss Carrie Taylor, of Haralson, came up Saturday and returned home Sun day, accompanied by her friend, Miss Jessie Albright. Mr. Emmett Sewell is taking good care of a pet carbuncle on his face this week. Misses Jennie Sewell and Jennie Tea- gle spent several days in GrantTille last week. Miss Yonie Summers is visiting her sister, Miss Bessie, at Mr. F. M. Mar tin’s. We learn that Messrs. Eugene Lati mer, Warren Culpepper and Hamp Braswell left yesterdav for Texas. Nov. 14th. M. Geo.

George Augustus Sala, the well- known English writer, on his la<t Aus tralian trip wrote as follows to the Lon don Doily Telegraph: “I especially have a pleasant remem brance of the ship’s doctor—a very ex perienced maritime medico indeed, who tended me most kindly during a horrible spell of bronchitis and spas modic asthma, provoked by the sea fog which had swooped down on us just af ter we left San Francisco.
