.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 Enterprise. a Blue Eyes.
