The picnic seems to be all that is contemplated by the young peo ple this week. Those who are con cerned in getting up the picnic seem to be determined to make a success of it, if to succeed is pos sible judging from the efforts that isjjeing put forth. Mr. R. L. Pursley has been quite sick this week, but says he is go ing to be at the picnic if he has to be carried there. Mrs. J. 11. Gilreath is convales cent. Miss Mollie, a fourteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Coulter, died last Sunday morning about seven o’clock. Miss Mollie had many friends who sincerely mourn her loss, for she was a good girl, and to know her was to love her. Just a few hours before she died, she exclaimed: “There is grandmama! Oh, I see Jesus! How pretty he is! Let me go, let me go,” Weep not dear parent. Your daughter is not dead, but sleepeth, and she has left you a strong as surance that when she awakes she will be clothed in Righteousness to live in the “Glory World” and see Jesus as he is. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, Mr. Timmons did not fill his appointment at Macedonia last Sunday night. Prof. Grogan lias quite a flour ishing school, and it keeps increas ing. Mr. Grogan has good discip line in his school and therefore it moves on smoothly. He is the right man in the right place. Meg. FROM ALPINE. Our crops are in a growing con dition and a fine prospect for good crops. But the rust has taken hold on the cotton in some places, sup posed to be caused by the wet weather, but we hope it will be dry enough to stop this Leaded des truction. We have some c.,s ■ , of measles below us in Alabama. Several parties went to the burial lofan Alliance member, Mr. Merk Miller, a very esteemed citizen of Alabama. He was buried with Alli ance honors and a very large crowd attended the funeral. We have a stood school at Alpine academy now; teacher Miss N. C. Agnew. Mr. M. M. Agnew made seventy- j three and a half bushels of wheat | from four bushels sowing, and Dr. J. 11. Freeman made 60 bushels on less than two acres of land and on the same peace of land he mowed last year 22 wagon loads of clover. We hear some new railroad talk almost every day, but we don’t hear the locomotive. A good many land owners in our neighborhood have given mineral options on their land while others will not sell their mineral separate from the land. Most people are done laying by and arc ready to go to see their kin folks and take a rest. Protracted meeting begins at Mt. Harmony next. Sunday. Cai.. TRION NEWS ITEMS. o Dr. J. M. Fulmer has recoverd and is in the saddle again. To the delight of his many friends, the doctor is getting considerable prac tice which he well deserves. Mr. A. J. Smith, who has been sick several days is reported better and on the 20th inst., bis little daughter fell from the door break ing both bones of her arm between the wrist and elbow. Drs. Myers and Fulmer set the broken limb and at last accounts she was doing very well. Mr. Smith’s wife is also sick. There are several cases of fever in town but none very serious. Quite a number of our citizens attended the confederate veterans reunion at Chattanooga on the 17th aud IBth inst. Would like to have attended myself but could not con veniently. The farming brethren in these parts are all about done work and wheat threshing is the order of the day. The growing crops are indeed promising and wheat is reported as being tolerable fair yield. We had the warmest weather of the season the past week. We also had good rains for which we should be thankful. The whites and blacks had a game of base ball on Saturday the 20th inst. After considerable play ing the game stood 8 to 7 the whites coming out victorious. The new factory buildings are nearing completion. The brick work of the main building is done and the work of flooring, covering, painting and penciling out side and white washing the inside is rapidly going on. The brick work of the large building which will be com posed of cloth room, slasher room and picking room is at present being pushed. When these build ings are all completed and the en gines and machinery put in motion, Trion will be one of the finest cot ton mills in the south. Improve ments are still going on in south Trion under the immediate super vision of Mr. Reynolds the contrac tor. Mr. S. R. Williams met with a painful accident Saturday 20 inst., getting the end of one of his fingers cut off in a planing machine. W. K. Moobe. FROM HALL’S MILL. o There is not much news this week. All the farmers are resting after the final charge. The little boys and girls have commenced their busy task of go ing to school now. How they long for recess time to come when they can lay their blue backed spellers down and run out and play. Miss Julia Dunn has a good school at Grove Level. Mr. E. 0. Gilreath has charge of the school at the Hall school house. Mrs. Mary Mills has been quite sick for some time. Mr. Joe Hollis is also on the sick list this week. He has the fever.

Messrs Hall, Hammonds, <fc Co., arc threshing wheat in this com I munity this,week. Eleve. FROM DRY VALLEY. o Several of our boys and girls went to the picnic last Saturday at Wil- ■ son’s <fc Yates' mill. All report a nice time. They say that well fill ed baskets were plentiful, and the dinner was nice. Mr. G. W. Bird has sold his farm in this valley to W. W. Hanson, I have not learned the price that was paid. Mr. Lee Wilson's school is in creasing in number. Lee is giving satisfaction as teacher. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Harper, of I Broomtown, spent Sunday in our I ■ valley’ the guest of Mr. and Mrs. | N. 11. Gilreath. I learn that those that visited i Chattanooga last Wednesday, with the view of meeting their old com i rades that fought and braved th" | bullets of the late war, were some i what disappointed, for there was no reunion there. Well the time is here for the peo ple to visit their wife's kinfolks, and every old vehicle will be brought out, and the old rusty ties tighten ed, for that eventful and long look ed for trip to see their dear kinnery. Ed-Win. This ought to be the time of year for a man to turn over a new leaf. He could stick to almost anything this weather. “I understand you are one of the ; fair graduates. Miss Pease.” - “More than fair, Mr. Fleecy. 1 stood 96 in all ray examinations.” When you see a dude hurrying along the street with a cane in his mouth you have no reason to sup pose that it is a hurricane. If the bride in a recent wedding in New Yord received $1,000,000 worth of presents, as stated, it seemes about time to bring to a ; close the discussion of the question : “Is Marriage a Failure?” TIDINGS GOSSIP.

Miss Edith Carver of Rome, is spending a few weeks in Tidings. Col. T. R. Jones and sons of Dal ton, are visiting relatives near Gore.

Mrs. Harrison • and Mies Lizzie Harrison, of Anderson, S. C., are ex pected on a visit to relatives in Dirttown valley this week. There are many friends in this community who regret to lose Dr. and Mrs. R. D. Jones. But what is our loss is Summerville’s gain. Sib Carlo. She Meant Another Mr. Jones. He had never seen a telephone— you can see how old the story is. He had never seen a telephone, and his friend was showing him how it worked. It was in his office. He called up his house and the wife came to the telebhone. “My dear, Mr. Jones is here, and I have asked him to come up to dinner.” Then he turned to Mr. Jones and said: “Put your ear to that and you’ll i hear the answer.” , He did and this was the answer: “Now, John, I told you I would never have that disagreeable wretch , in my house again.” “What was that?” spoke out Mr. Jones. Women are quick. A man simply would backed away from the telephone and said no more. She , took in the situation in a second - when she heard the strange voice, and quick as a flash came back the 1 sweetest kind of a voice : “Why, Mr. Jones, how do yon do? 1 I thought my husband meant anoth- ] er Mr. Jones. Do come up to din- ( ner. I shall be so glad to see you. —San Francisco Chronicle. ' Out of the .Ordinary, It, will require 60,000 cars to haul off the Kansas wheat.
