Mm. ( Inis, K. Henderson, of New-
nan, is visiting the family of her fath
er, Hon. I.. C. Mandeville.
[ was introduced to a hoarded youth I
of some ixtv winters a day or two ago. i
Fie seemed to know ms, and called me j
hy familiar name. I said: “Mister
Man, you have the Inline on me; ifj
I’ve ever seen you before it was when
I was asleep.” lie knew better, and
called to me: “Don't von know John
Fullerton, who used to train with you
when we were both colts?” He didn’t
favor the John Fullerton I used to
know, hut I admitted it might he him,
seeing as how it had been thirty-six
years since I’d laid my lamps on him.
Knowing the trouncinga one gets in
that, length of time when run through
Life’s rolling mill, I concluded Time
had put the ’possum hairs among his
chestnut locks, and had put his private
crow’.-i-feet, at the corners of Ins eyes.
These reflections reconciled me to the
situation, and through his time-worn
features discerned the lineaments of
the handsome, agile lad I had known in
the long ago. I was glad to see him, j
and encompassed his good stringy neck
with my only pair of tentacles, which
loving embrace caused the crowd of;
spectators to shed seven or eight silent J
tears to witness a reunited and devoted
c pluribiin union which would discount |
any carryings on ever indulged in by j
Damon and Pythias. This affecting
meeting took me back to the bright,
gladsome days of youth, ere the can
kering linger of Time had written its
inelfaceable marks of decay on me, or
the blight of disappointment had ob
scured and destroyed the glorious hopes
that lure the ambitious youth onward.
I descend from my metaphorical flight
to announce that John’s linos have fall
en in pleasant places of recent years.
He is now at Tallapoosa, lie wears a
round-about suit of ermine that is, |
he is a Justice of the Peace, and his 1
toga is therefore only half as long as
that of a Supreme Court Judge. He has
his people hoodooed. He makes them
believe his is a court of unlimited ju
risdiction. lie lias his grand juries, |
petit juries, and whenever business j
gets a little dull in court circles he ar-1
raigns a negro for some supposed capi- j
tal offense, tries and finds him guilty, j
and the following Friday the nigger is
hanged to make a Tallapoosan holiday.
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Fleming, of
Howdon, were guests Wednesday of
Mr. and Ms. Cl. W. Fleming.
Miss Mary Lizzie Radford enter
tained Miss Ethel Adamson, of line
men, Monday.
—When you arrive away up in G in
those delectable esoteric orders, then
you may hope to got a delegate’s job to
some “furrin” town. Since tiis promo
tion you can't keep Joe Croft at home
any more than you can keep a breachy
cow in a poorly fenced woods lot. The
last we heard of him he was attending
the Grand Chapter in Macon. Guess
it’s all right, since Joe has been serv
ing in the ranks for lo, these many
years.
—Dr. W. H. Malone, of Mt. Zion,
took advantage of cheap rates and ex-
eurted into the city Tuesday.
Mr. J. Z. Beddingfield and family
will make Atlanta their home in the
future.
—The 1. O. 0. F. from the four
points of the compass met here on the
528th ult. It seldom comes to pass that
so notable a gathering comes to our
town. The local brethren made exten
sive preparations for their entertain
ment, which was greatly enjoyed by
all. Speeches were made by Judge W.
C. Adamson, Hon. W. J. Millican, and
John H. Fullerton, of Tallapoosa. A
lack of data unables me to give any
thing like a full report of the proceed
ings.
—1 am always for my home team
against all comers, but can’t say I’m
always proud of their achievements.
I am just a little bit disappointed in
our high school baseball team. They
are chock-a-block with good batters,
good battery and excellent out-fielders,
and why the dickens they laid down on
their reputation and let Douglasville
heat them Friday makes me still
champ the bit. Hoys, we can do better
than that. Let’s eat ’em up !
—The beautiful prog-samme for Me
morial Day, on which the faithful
hands and loving hearts of the U. D.
C. had given more than ordinary care,
was carried out to the minutest detail.
The exercises, in which the whole pop
ulace took part, were held in Carroll’s
spacious court-house. The large build
ing was filled to its utmost capacity by
the people. The address was made by
Hon. W. J. Millican, which proved one
of his best oratorical efforts. The
gifted speaker’s remarks were along
historical lines, which indicated the
remote causes that produced the war.
The many tributes paid the valor and
patriotism of the Confederate soldier
were loudly applauded, lie was com
pared with Xenophon’s 10,000 Greeks,
who upheld the Persian standards; to
the immortal .100, who, lighting, fell de
fending Thermopylae — to Caesar’s
Tenth Legion to the Ostragoths of
Charles Xil. to Cromwell’s Ironsides—
to the Grenadiers of the Old Guard,
(and we know him to he the peer of the
best of them.) A glowing tribute was
also paid the women of the South—those
devoted mothers, wives and sweet
hearts who did so much for the cause.
Wreaths and flowers were banked
around the rostrum. These flowers
were brought by children as a tribute
to their honored heroes, After the
speech the immense throng debouched
from the court-house, headed by little
girls dressed in white and bearing
handsful of flowers. Following these
were hoys, and next came the multi
tude of grown-up people, followed by
the veterans a hundred or so, each
bearing a wreath to lay upon the grave
of some departed comrade. The head
of the column, those hundreds of pret
ty little flower-bearers, and all others
of the vast throng, opened ranks along
the walks of the cemetery, through
which the grim-visaged remnant of
Lee’s and Johnston’s veterans marched.
It was a glorious spectacle. The hun
dreds of people, young and old, saluted
the veterans as they passed, and in
grateful acknowledgment they returned
the salute. This beautiful lesson
teaches that, the people cherish in their
hearts the traditions of the sixties,
and that long after the last of the old
heroes have been called to the bosom
of their fathers the sons and daughters
of the South will keep their memory
green in their hearts. It would he dif
ficult to describe the many kindnesses
shown the veterans on Memorial Day
by the excellent ladies who compose
our local chapter of U. D. C.: but, in
grateful remembrance, I am commis
sioned by the veterans to return thanks
to those patriotic ladies for the splen
did dinner given them, which embraced
in its menu all the delicacies of the
season. Long may the ladies compos
ing the present chapter of the U. D. C.
live to direct its affairs. May there
rise under their guiding hands a monu
ment to the Confederate soldiers of
Carroll county, and may it he a lasting
monument to their chivalric deeds,
and an abiding honor to its builders.
—Cupid, the guileless lad, shoots
straight from the shoulder. His de
crees, like those of the Modes and Per
sians, are unalterable. It had been
known for some tipie, to the most cas
ual observer, that he had piereed the
hearts of two of our young people
with one dart. It culminated in a mar
riage license for two. They married
on the 28th ult.—Miss Helen West to
Mr. Benjamin Mandeville Long. Mr.
and Mrs. Long left on the noon train

— It’s mighty hard to keep Carrollton-
ians from doing things any other per
son can do. The man who owned the
flea team with the Bakoot show
thought he was the only flea driver,
Lloyd Aycock yoked his cat up and
gathered a crowd of the nimble hop
pers. In a week’s time he had them
rolling a wheelbarrow and chewing to
bacco. He next yoked a flea and a
housefly to a cart, and he may be seen
any bright day hauling a couple of
bales of cotton around the square. The
flea and the fly are stabled at Ham

—Though Carrollton is accustomed
to handling large crowds, and to the
ceaseless influx of commercial commod
ities, the recent meeting of the Bank
ers’ Association was by far the most
important gathering ever assembled in
her hustling precincts. In a genera)
way it may be said the 28th ult. (the
day of the bankers’ meeting) was a
red-letter day for our people; for, at
the same time, the town was overflow
ing with a big I. O. O. F. convention,
and two “bung tung” weddings were
also pulled off. All of these being in
progress at one time would cause even
a casual observer to note that there
was “something doing.” Group Three
of tlie Georgia Bankers' Association
represents something like a fourth of
Georgia’s banking capital. It was a fine
opportunity for those eminent gentle
men to become acquainted with our
town, and they were pronounced in the
opinion that Carrollton is a fine busi
ness center. The association was dined
by the girls of the A. Jk M. College.
The toastmaster of the occasion, Mr.
A. K. Snead, paid a glowing tribute to
the elegant collation furnished by the
ladies. He also pointed proudly to the
A. & M. School as being an institution
destined to raise the agricultural
classes to their proper sphere in the
scientific production of croDs. His re
marks were especially felicitous in the
easy and suave manner of introducing
the post-prandial orators. The able
gentlemen who essayed to “have their
say.” flung many sapient, scintillating
gems of thought among and to their
appreciative auditors. The first to ad
dress that eminent aggregation was
the multi-presidential head of many
sprightly Georgia banking institutions,
known as the Witham system—Hon.
W. S. Witham. In a few well-directed
remarks this gentleman shed consider
able light on the running of an agricul
tural college; likewise released a flood
of information on banking. The next
speaker was Hon. Thos. M. Goodrum,
of Newnan. The speaker expressed
both surprise and pleasure to know that
the A. & M. School had gained such an
excellent footing. He declared it was
an institution of which the citizens of
the Fourth Congressional district were
justly proud, and that the people of
Carrollton and Carroll county deserved
the support and best wishes of their
fellow-citizens for the handsome gift
they had bestowed. Prof. Melson, su
perintendent of the school, was next
called upon for an expression of his
views, and in a few well-chosen re
marks said: “Gentlemen, I am trying
just now to tote my own skillet ; and
that it has had a very warm handle has
been abundantly attested by the many
trials and tribulations we have had
with a recalcitrant public. But for
the warm and hearty support given us
by our wide-awake business men, I fear
the affairs of the school would have
suffered greatly. By their generous
co-operation the school has accom
plished much in two years; but much
yet remains to be done. The institution
is just now entering upon the thres
hold of its usefulness. With our faces
and hearts turned to a future full of
promise and hope, we feel that the
school will move onward and upward in
j its glorious and beneficent mission, and
J that its high aims will be accomplished
I have not the least doubt. We know
; the people of Carroll are proud of
their school, it is destined to give the
| youths of the rural districts a scientific
j knowledge of farming, which knowl
edge, properly applied, will prove of
incalculable benefit to them. A long,
and a strong pull, and a pull altogether
j "'ill pull us through. Let us pull for
it.” A business meeting of the asso
ciation was held in the Commercial
Club rooms in the forenoon. Mr. A. K.
Snead, cashier of the Citizens Bank
of Carrollton, was elected chairman of
the association, and Mr. E. L. Hender
son, of Cedartown, was elected secre
tary. A banquet by the local bankers

The toastmaster, Mr. W. S. Witham,
introduced a number of distinguished
speakers, whose remarks were received
with applause. Hon. L. C. Mandeville,
in response to the toastmaster, said:
“Mr. Toastmaster and gentlemen of
the convention: Under the guiding
star of Destiny I was born in Carroll
county, right here in Carrollton; and,
having been about some. I shall make
free to declare that I have never yet
seen a place where I’d rather reside.
Our people are as good as the best, and
I’ve always found them to be my
friends. Were it not for the fact you’d
think me verging on to the patriarchal
age, I’d tell you I’ve been here fifty-
seven years. Have known the town
since it was a straggling village of a
few hundred souls. Have watched its
growth with the solicitude of a loyal
son, and I’m proud to tell you that in
point of commercial importance there
is no town of equal population in the
South that does more business. We
have all the public utilities necessary
for the comfort and advancement of
our little city. She enjoys the proud
distinction of receiving more cotton
than any town in Western Georgia—
from 26,000 to 30,000 bales per annum
—the sale of which turns loose through
the avenues of trade upwards of $1,-
500,000. If, under these conditions, our
people are not prosperous, who’s to
blame? No one; for they have all
availed themselves of this fine oppor
tunity, and enjoy life.” The next an
nual meeting of the association will be
held in Cedartown.
