Dr. H. V. Hardwick has bought
the Baptist church lot adjoining
his home on Decatur street and it
is said that he will turn it into a
park. The old church will be torn
down at once, and though it will
seem odd without it, the looks of
the street in that vicinity will be
considerably improved.
Mr. Charlie Farrill would like

Farrill and his family were at
supper, The thief has made good
his escape.

worthily bestowed.

Judge A. M. Helms and Mr. J.
P. Tilley went out to Gee’s mill
Monday afternoon to see how the
new bridge was progressing and
indulged in a ride across the river
on the lumber car. A little negro
did the pushing, and as the car
turned down grade he missed bis
footing and fell through, leaving
the car to go as it pleased. The
car with its passengers, Judge
Helms, Mr. Tilley and a negro
j woman, soon gained considerable
speed an 1 left the track, coming
to a sudden stop against a walnut
tree and spilling its freight. Judge
Helms says the negro woman said
“Good Lord,” and left; what he
and Mr. Tilley said is not known
to us. Nobody hurt. See Mr.
Bill Sterling for further particu¬

had an appointment to preach at
10 o’clock, the celebration exer¬
cises proper were postponed till
12:30, p. m. Between Dr. Quigg’s
sermon and the singing a most
copious and delicious basket din¬
ner was served, and the large
crowd present, the appetite being
sharpened by the crisp, chilly air,
partook most liberally of the
abundant repast.
The first thing after dinner waB
a song by all the schools, followed
by prayer by Dr. Quigg.
Then came a song by Smyrna
school and speech by Prof. Otto
Clotfelter.
Next Rockdale School gave a
song and speech by W. H. Mc¬
Daniel.
Union then followed with q,song
and speech by Mr.Lemuel Bowen.
The songs and speeches were
one and all most excellent, and
every one deserves and should re
ceive special mention, if we only
had space.
