Over the C. R. & C.
Tuesday of last week at 3:20 p.
in. n party consisting of P. I’. Hen
ry, John W. Cain, li. 11. Edmondson,
\V. D. Taylor, Joe Cooper and Will
Hawkins started for Chattanooga
overtiieC. R. & C. railroad. It
was the lirst trip any of t.iem ever
made over the new road and a num
ber of the party went for the sole
purpose of riding on the cars
through Chattooga county.
The first Incident of interest oc
curred two miles above town, where
Joe Henry’s remaining dog (one of
them was killed three weeks ago by
a train) made a determined effort
to stop the train. It was too swift
and he had to allow it to pass.
Then on it sped until within half a
mile of Prion, when it stopped to
allow Mrs. A. H. Hamilton, of Rome
and Mr. and Airs. L. C. Cain, re
cently of Waycross, Ga., to get of!.
Then on to Trion, where A1 Hughs,
Mr. and A[rs. A. G. Bryan, J. < .
Penn, B. F. Flournoy, Fred Page
and Mr. Williams hoarded the train.
After starting the conductor came
j around to collect fare. Mr. I'lonr
| noy asked him what it was. “Are j
j you going to New York; asked
I the conductor. “No,
1 ga,” was the reply, and then the
conductor was enabled to tell him
I what the fare was.
From Trion to LaFayettc the
! roughest part of the road is to lie
| found. At the Wilson hill the road
; reaches the highest point of the en
! tire line. Here it was tile train
showed a disposition to turn over.
Tom Henry was on the lowest side
and he promptly got on the other
side to establish an equilibrium.
Here also Capt. Rossiter had trou
ble. The cuts and fills arc deep
and numerous and probably a great
er amount of work was done here
than at any place on the entire
line except at Dugdown mountain
in Polk county.
Bv some means qv other the citi
zens of La Fayette found out that
: the cars v ■■re going to bo in town
and Capt. Napier, Robert Dougher-
I ty, Frank Copeland, Jesse Hunt
and a number of others were on
hand to see it. S. P. Tomlinson
and J 11. Webb boarded the train
here and went on to Chattanooga.
At a point above LaFayettc the
train had to stop until a stock gap
could be fixed. Then the next
place is Rock Springs. The track
of the road runs directly through
Rock Springs, following the wagon
road for some little distance. This
place looks about like it did before
the railroad was built.
The last field of cotton to be seen
going north is at Crawfish Springs.
The crops along the road are in fine
condition and present a beautiful
appearance.
Chattanooga is reached at f!
o’clock. After winding through a
labyrinth of cars, all puffing and
blowing, the train stops, and every
one makes a break for town.
Somehow every one wants to see
Sam Hawkins. After seeing him
and becoming satisfied that lie is
; well, the party scatters, each one to
find a stopping place. Several put
up at the European Hotel, while
some had kinfolks in the city and
availed themselves of this opportu
, nity to visit them.
The next day was the ga-lorious
- 4th of July. Everybody and the
small boy were exceedingly happy j
over the opportunity of celebrating •
the anniversary of Miss Liberty's j
birth. Miss Liberty, we believe, is j
about 112 years old, but she is still
altogether lovely, and still receives
a great "deal of attention. On this
da}' in honor of her the smail-'-boy
popped crackers, the large man
popped beer corks and the band
played. In the evening horse ra
ces were indulged in and large
amounts of money changed hands.
The writer saw a large number of
i persons who said they were w inners
but not one volunteered the infor
mation that he had lost. This is a
- curious way people have of doing.
During the day most of the party
visited Lookout point. They had a
most enjoyable time, especially Mr.
Taylor, who was accompanied by
those lovely young ladies, Miss
Carrie Ilill, Miss Ives and Miss A!-
lie Moore, of Dalton.
In the evening several went to
Shoppie "s G. rd'-n. It was van
. tiful. T-vouty fur Jap :e lan-
terns anti two large electric lights
played upon a fountain and flowers
of many hues, forming a scene of
beauty and lovliness it is impossi
ble to describe. At regular inter
vals on either side of the fountain
were vine-covered arbors, and into
these couple after couple disappear
ed. If the arbors could talk they
could repeat many loving words
and describe many love scenes, no
doubt. It would be a very hard
hearted woman who could say “No”
in one of these arbours. The
plashing fountain, the rainbow
hued lights and lovely flowers form
a scene of beauty that would soften
the heart of a sphinx, while the hum
of the busy city,the clang of its bells
and clatter of its vehicles, softened
by distance, brings a feeling of
rest and content that makes the
heart susceptible of impressions,
and forgetful of all but the present.
The next place the Times build
ing, tfnd half an hour's talk with
I)r. Tucker, genial and clever as al
ways. The doctor was a little out
of sorts, for his clerks were all out
celebrating the 4th, and he was left
alone to do all the work.
The next day the party started
for home. The train was delayed
by an accident which happened be
low La Fayette the day before, and
it was 1) o’clock before it started.
On the train we met Mr. Worthin
the clever representative of the
Messenger, and John G. Taylor, of
! the Tribune.
| All of Chattooga's contingent at
Chattanooga are moving on. W. J
C. Johnson, "Mack Henley, Sam j
Hawkins, Archie and Jim Ilill, Dr
Tucker, Messrs. Hunt and others
are all well. ('apt. O. B. Johnson
is serving on the police force.
All the colored people who leave
Chattooga go to Chattanooga. We j
saw fully fifteen of them.
Chattanooga? Yes, she is grow
ing. One hundred brick stores are |
going up. The various denomina-'
tions have fine churches and the
Catholics arc erecting a .SIOO,OOO j
cathedral. Yes, she is growing. |
Some day it will be a very large
place, and away oil' at some distant |
day it may hope to become as nice
a place as Summerville.
Uxoricide and Suicide.
Ixm.vxAroMS, Ixn., July 3.—At!
Trafalgar, Johnson county, this
I morning Samuel M. Henderson
shot and killed bis divorced wife,
Sarah, and then killed himself.
Mrs. Henderson obtained a divorce
last September. Henderson went
to Illinois, where lie was arraigned
before the United States court for;
sending the divorced woman an ob- j
scene letter through the mails. lie!
then returned to Johnson county;
and married t he lady with whom he j
was living at the time of his death, j
Henderson was about sixty and i
Mrs. Henderson about fifty years of
age. A family of grown children j
survive their parents.
Montana Mines.
Ilki.esa, Most., July 4.—Devel
opments are progressing on the
Crotstis mining company’s mines in
the Ilomestake district. The mines
arc working 100 feet in a tunnel on
j the Infallible and a shaft thirty
! feet on the Silver Bell. One thou
j sand dollars worth of ore was struck
I at this depth on the Silver Bell at
j water level last Friday and the oivn-
I ers are correspondingly jubilant.
I Forty-five thousand shares of the
j Crocesus stock changed hands last
| Saturday at good figures within
! three hours and the officers of the
j company are thinking of withdraw
ing the treasury stock from the
I market.

WESTWARD.
Ozakk, Auk., June 26th, 1888.
Having sent my name to you as a
subscriber to your worthy paper,
and receiving a copy, I feel that I
should let you know it has come
duly to hand and was gladly receiv
ed. Having been formerly a sub
scriber to your paper and a resident
of Chattooga county, I prize it
more. It is somewhat like I had
met an old friend when I have pe
rused its columns and learn of the
marriages, deaths, births, etc.
Well, I’ll try to tell you some
thing about our little town, Ozark.
It has a population of about 1,200,
is centrally located in the county
on the bank of the Arkansas. Ozark
is steadily improving, having at
present not less than thirty busi
ness houses, two hotels, seven at
torneys, live physicians, two black
smith and wagon shops, schools,
newspapers, and not a single whisky
store. Us secret and religious so
cieties are in a flourishing condi
tion. The Methodist, Baptist, and
Presbyterians have elegant church
es, which add very largely to the
general appearance of the place.
Three finer Sunday schools are not
to be found in the state than at
Ozark. The average attendance
for the year is said to be about 300.
Ozark should also be proud of her
magnificent brick school house. Its
cost was about SB,OOO. It is a free
school building. The people of
Ozark are moral, cultivated and
public spirited.
A canning factory is in operation
on a large scale. It will be the
best thing for the upbuilding of our
town. There is one steam flouring
and grist mill, a first-class planing
mill, a wool-carding machine, and
two cotton gins.
A female college under the auspi
ces of the C, P. Church is being
I agitated and $5,000 have already
j been subscribed in that direction.
Wat r tolerably good, air brae
ling, scenery picturesque; sloping
j hill sides; mount:,ins here and
j there, with broad, fertile valleys
I between, delight the eye upon every
hand.
Men and capital to develop our
county are all we want to soon
place us among the first in the
West. Both are invited to come
and stay. Respectfully,
Mbs. J. T. Greek.
Murderer Moody.
Moi i.ton. Ala., July 3.—This lit
tle village’s neighborhood was the
scene of a wife murder, which is al
most a parallel to the Carnegie
I horror that came to light some ten
! davs ago, except that the murderer
j paid the penalty in short order,
j whereas Doc Carnegie, after all the
threats of lynching, rests secure in
! jail. The parties in the case, as in
the other, were negroes. Last Fri
day the wife of Calvin Moody was
her home and Calvin,
having quarrelled with her shortly
before, was arrested and jailed at
Moulton on suspicion of having!
made away with her.
Tl e negroes of the neighborhood i
instituted a search for her next day
and finally found her dead body in
the woods a mile and a half away
from her home, lying beside a log
covered with leaves; the throat was
cut and the head bruised as with a|
club. Sunday night a mob of ne
groes took the Moulton jail, and,
overpowering the sheriff, dragged
Moody away to the woods, where he
was swung to a limb.
Clinttoou-avill!'.
Hot weather is here and it is hot
enough to count. The farmers are
taking advantage of the grass sin'ce
the sun began to shine so hot, anil
if they have good weather a few
| more days I think the old general
will be defeated or cheesed at any
| rate in his advance upon the grow
i ing crops. The outlook is very fair
for good crops, but it is too early to
make any estimate upon the yield.
The people in the southern states
depend too touch on cotton and if it
fails they are ruined. It, looks as
if it no use to attempt to grow
wheat in this country: it is so un
certain that a man don’t know when
to sow. Last year the wheat was
■ fair: this year it is too sorry to give
it any trade at all. It lo >ked ine
. in the >prin:;, but about the time i|
NO. 23.
got in full head and bloom it took
the rust and then a sort of scabby
looking substance appeared on the
head and the result is no wheat made
that is any account; at least I have
not heard of any.
J. S. Doster A Co. started their
steam thresher last Saturday. They
are doing good work. Mr. Doster
is a good thresher man.
Rev. W. A. Milner preached at
Walnut Grove last Saturday and
night and Sunday at 11 a. m., also
at night. He preached some able
sermons, as all know he can do, be
ing directed by the Holy Spirit. We
were glad to welcome him to Wal
nut Grove again and would he glad
to have him at any time come and
break the bread of life to a never
dying and yet ever dying people.
John Millican took the mumps
and fever about the first of June
and lie is not able to be at work
vet. He has a large crop. He had
it in good fix and by the aid of
some others has kept it so. 1 hope
lie will get all right in a few days.
The W. G. H. S. will commence
the 16th inst. I hope there will lie
a good attendance.
Health is very good at this time
except a few eases of dysentery
among the small children. None
have proved fatal yet.

Pinckney's Kids.
Up near Raccoon, on the Chattan
ooga, Rome and Columbus, lives a
farmer by the name of Pink Dan
iels, while who tilling the soil, is also
engaged in the diverting and pleas
ant, work of raising olive plants.
These scions of Daniels, “pere,”
i living in the seclTtsion of the coun
try, and having never seen a snort
ing, locomotive, until the Cliattap
ooga, Rome and Columbus was fit
Hied, are just filled with amaze
incut every time a train of cars go
whizzing by their oak embowed
home, and their childish curiosity
pries in vain to solve the mystery
of these moving wagons without aid
of horse, mule or ox. But childish
wit to work and now the engineers
have to keep a constant lookout as
they pass the Daniel domicil, for
zig zag rail fences which the Dan
iels kids build across the track in
order to stop the trains that their
desire for knowledge may find am
ple time for gratification. Who
says the railroad is not a promoter
of civilization and a mighty factor
