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. Hurrah for Cleveland and Thur man. Reporter. Political Pot.

Whitfield, of Baldwin; in the twenty-fourth, Hon. George Johnston, of Muscogee. Richmond county will seek to vary the rotation rule, so that lien. John S. Davidson can be returned to the senate, over which body he presided so successfully during the sessions of ’B(i and 'B7. To have him returned would really he a boon to the state. Ilis ability and his experience as a legislator ren der his services well-nigh invalua ble. 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 in the work of spreading knowledge. 1 —Rome Tribune. A laughable incident happened ■ not long ago. One of our highly ) respected farmers in going home . from town, found a wire bustle on - Roswell road, that some female had t lost from her “make up.” The s farmer, in his unsophisticated inn<>- v eence, thought it was a new fash ioned rat trap and carried it home, n baited it and placed it on the creek v bank to catch minks. But it didn't e eatrli. If lie had baited it with a e p tty girl, he would have caught a i d le.—-Marietta Journal.
