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 for their home in Cordova, amid a shower of rice and old shoes.

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 rick’s jewelry store. See them. —The infant of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Gammon is much improved in health, which fact will be gratifying to their many friends. —After spending several days in La- Grange with friends, Mrs. G. A. Huck- aby returned home Thursday. —Mrs. Samuel Copeland, of Bremen, was the recent guest of Mr. and. Mrs. W. W. Loop. —Miss Irma Montgomery accompa nied her friend, Miss Radford, home from Agnes Scott and spent several days of this week. Dr. H. J. Goodwyn, of Roopville, visited the city Wednesday. —Mr. W. G. Warlick, of LaGrange, was in the city Monday in attendance at the funeral of his grandson, the in fant of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Worthy. —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.

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. —The Harris - Kennebrew wedding was one of the events of Carrollton on the 2Sth ult.
