.NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
Gathered From All Sources.
There are now fuu: colored men
on the Chattanooga police force.
Dalton wants an agricultural j
and industrial fair.
The passenger travel on the W. &
A. railroad, for the past few weets,
has been immense.
Married.— On the 20ih, by Rev.
J. M. Robertson, at the residence
of the bride’s father, Rev. VV. C. !
Luther, of Spring Place, and Miss
Mollie T. Ford, of Whitfield coun
ty.
The cotton trade of Dalton is as
suming large proportions. Up to i
the present writing the receipts of
cotton have been ohout three thoup- '
and bales, which is considerably
inexcesßof the previous year—Dil
ls n Cilisen.
Chattanooga Times: One of the
largest Indian Pots ever found in
these parts, was found a few days
ago in a ca“e in Racoon Mountain.
It was purchased by Mr. Juo. Nick
lin. It holds a gallon. It is earth
ern ware, and is valuable to Arch
aeologists, as a relic of the aborig
ines, who dwelled.in these climes.
It is said the State Road author
ities will dispute the right of the S.
R. & D. R. R., to cross its tracks at
Dalton. If this is a success it will
be forced to make Dalton its ter
minus again.
Nearly all the cotton in North
Georgia haß been gathered.
Cotton fritn Alabama is being
carried to Rome in large quanities.
The Legislature meets to-day,
(Wednesday.)
The question of a new capitol
will probably be discussed by the
Legislature.
Dr. J. M. Dt-Friese, a well known
citizen of Chattanooga, died Tues
day Oct, 26th, of heart disease. He
held a number of mail contracts,
among them, the one from Chatta
nooga to this place. We hear it
stated that his wife will turn over
the contracts to his bondsmen.
A sharper in Rome defrauded Mr.
Speigelberg, of that place, o{ sever
al hundred dollars in goods, and
made his escape to New York, mid
Governor Colquitt made legal req
usition on Governor Cornell for
his arrest and return to Georgia.—
Last Thursday Deputy Sheriff
Moore, of Rome, who had gone al
ter him, returned with out his man,
Governor Cornell having refused to
respect Governor Colquitts requisi
tion.
Chattanooga is bidding for the
cotton in North Georgia and North
Alabama.
The three richest men in Georgia
are Joseph E. Brown of Atlanta,
and Ferdinand Phinizy, amt John
A. White of Athens.
Who is"the New York Cotton
talking about ? It says : "A Geor
gia gentleman ten years ago came
to New York with 8200.000 and
started in the cotton business. He j
had prepared himself for ten years
o? work, and made an elaborate
system, by reason of which he
thought he could estimate the crop
to within a few thousand hales.—
lu six months he returned to Geor
gia, having borrowed the money to
buy his ticket borne.”
A young merchant in Carroll,
county, Virginia, killed his wife and
her paramour, who was his partner
in business. After committing tin
deed he surrendered himself to the j
authorities.
A white man in jail at Morgan, j
Calhoun county, attempted t<> burn i
out last Friday night, hut when the
smoke began to slide him he called
for help, and was rescued in time j
to prevent his being smothered. —
He was in for stealing a mule.
There is a man in Cherokee
county, Ala., who offers a reward ;
often dollars for a runaway wi'e. j
The extravagance of some poeple |
is unaccountable.
The North Georgia Methodist |
Conference will meet in Rome tl ••
first week in December.
The Romo Tribune complains
that every once in a while wagie.s j
and agriculture implements are
brought in large numbers to that
city from the North. It informs
( its readers that there is an abund- j
a rice of tinker and iron in that, see
tion from which all such articles j
might well be made.
The New York Tribune has been
scared nearly out of its hoots he
causejMr. B. W. Wrenn, of Atlanta,
has been a railroad
time-table containing portraits of
cx-President Davis and hi.- Cabin -t.
Tire Tribune imagines, when it Juoks
m
at the mute pictures, it can hear
the old rebel yell once more. Mr.
W., however, has written the Trib
une not to he scared. He has no idea
I of re-establishing the Confederate
; Government. He only wanted to j
I get his route well advertised free in
the big Northen dailies, and he has j
fully accomplished his purpose.
A newly elected justice of the
peaee who had been used to draw- ;
ing deeds and wills and little else,
I was called upon as Ms first official ;
! act to marry a couple who came ,
into his office very hurriedly and j
told him their purpose. He lost ■
no time in removing his hat, and '
j remarked. “Hats off in the presence
iof the Court.” All being uncover
ed. he said : “Hold up your right
I hands. You, John Marvin do
| solemnly swear that to the best of
| your knowledge an’ belief you take
this yer woman ter have an’ ter
1 hold for youself, ver he'rs, exekver-
I ters, administrators and assigns,
j for your an’their use an’behoof
forever?”
“I do,” arswered the groom.
“You. Alice Ewer, take this yer
man f>r your husband, ter hev an’
ter hold forever; and you do ftrther
swear that you are lawfully seized
in fee-simple, are free frojn all in
cumheranoe, and hev good right to
sell, bargain and convey to the
! said guarantee yerself, yer heirs,
I administrators and assigns?”
“I do,” said the bride, rather
doubtfully.
“Well John, that’ll bo about a
dollar ’n’ fifty cents.”
“Are we married ?” asked the
bride.
“Yes, when the fee comes in.”
After some fumbling it was produc
ed and handed to the ‘court,’ who
| pocketed it and continued : “Know
| all men by these presents that I.
| being in good health and of sound
and disposin’ mind, in considera
tion of a dollar’n fifty cents to me
in hand paid, the receipt whereof
is hereby acknowledged, do and
i by these presents have declared
you man and wife during good be
havior and until otherwise ordered
by the court.”
Chattanooga.
A correspondent of the Lexing
ton (Ky.) Press, speaking of Chat
tanooga, says:
“It is true that commerce and
| manufacture are two factors that
! always insure success and prosperi
ty to a city. Chattanooga posses
ses itself the means of future great
ness, for besides its manu
facturing interests it is already
a great railroad cen'er, and is it
self in a position to have a potent
influence in the futuer development
of commercial relations.”
We learr. from a gentleman who
was in Haralson county the first of
the week, that a man by the name
of Green was killed in that county.
on last Monday night, near Mc-
Bride’s bridge on the Tallapoosa
river, in the neighborhood ofTalla
pnosa post-o‘lice. Our informant
did not learn the particulars of tlie
! killing,hut said that he understood
| it was at a lewd house and that the
shooting was done by a woman. —
Carroll County Times.
A gentlemen who attended the
fair in Atlanta says the exhibition
consisted e.f a hub and a pumpkin,
and that the hull eat the pumpkin
Wednesday night, and jumped out
nl the grounds anu broke up the
fair. — Pike County News.
i A prominent planter of Madison
•■.minty lias, fur f «* hi«t three years
j discontinued the use of commercial
j fertilizers. lie uses his homemade
j manure, hut it will not go overone-
I eighth of his crop. He plantsclov--
er and does not have to work so
. fast in the spring as when he used
! guano. His yield for the past three
| year has been greater in proportion
! than tie: eight, years previous. He
j will make 160 bales of cotton on
! 320 acres — Oglethorpe Echo.
On the place, in Laruce county,
; ealid the Griinsley place, belonging
' to the late Hayden Hughes, there
is » hole of water in which a" chool
'■r herd" of alligators live. Last
Saturday Mr. David Davis took bis
gun and walked down to the place
to try to kill an alligator. He was
gone about an hour and succeeded
in killing seven. We don’t know
that Mr. D ivis is related in any
way *othe Divid Davis of "tvnrdu
posie fame. ’or to the ex president
of the confederacy, yet ‘tie is entilt
led to he called a “whale.” — Cochran
