It seams that V. T. Sanford, who
last October was elected tax collec
tor of Floyd county, is having more
than the usual amount of trouble
that falls to the lot of the success
ful oflice seeker. It seems that
Mr. Sanford made bond in the time
required by law, which was approv
ed by the Board of Roads and Rev
enues of Floyd county. Judge
Max Aleyerhart says that the bond
was duly forwarded to Atlanta, but
the authorities there claim that it
cannot be found, and at this time
Mr Sanford don’t know whether he
is tax collector or not.
Prof. Mcwhorter, of Trion, sug

the advisability of organizing a

and it will be as much to the in
terest of the teachers, as of the
pupi's, to try to perfect present
methods, and to adopt such im
provements as experience may sug
gest.

bad mistake. They should reduce the
average of their cotton crop. Stop
buying so much fertilizers and devote
more of their time in making their
fertilizers at home; by so doing we
think they would get more for their

To the Teachers of Chattooga
County,
Why is it we cannot have a Teach
ers’ Association in our county? Let
ns make an effort. Let us resolve to
i push Chattooga county to the front in
i educational matters. Georgia has giv
'en to the public school fund a large
; increase for 1898. With this extra
taxation the people will expect and
demand an improvement in the schools.
And this is right. “Better
is now the cry everywhere in our state
and if we cannot meet the demand
( we will be compelled to give way to
i others who can.
Now to the point. All who wish to
! attend and take an interest in a
! Teachers’ Association for Chattooga
, county, to meet, say montly, at Sum
merville, will please send his or her
name and address to the undersigned
’ at Trion, Ga.
Not only teachers but everybody in
terested in educational matters in our
county is invited to respond. 1 am
sure we can count on the co-opera
tion of our County Commissioner.
Very Respectfully,
J. W. McWhorter.

Mr Charles Adamson has just re

the outlook for the future. Mr Adam-

especially for Cedartown. From as
surances received while in the north,
Mr. Adamson feels confident that we
shall see some railroad and factory de
velopement in this section before
many months have rolled around. Mr
Adamson is an untiring worker, and
our people should appreciate highly h is
efforts to bring in foreign capital to de
velop our resources.—Cedartown Ad

Wild Roses.
There is a tender pathos about
the delicate gypsy blossoms of the
hedgerow that appeals to me deep
ly. Without the more finished
charms f their haughty sisters,
reared in luxury and watered and
tended by hands that are only a
little less dainty than their own
fragile petals, they still possess the
rare charm of naturalness and are
just as they came from the hand
of a loving God who gives to us
earthlings so many beautiful
things from the store houses of Na
ture
Fair pink wild roses! The pain
ter must have divined some of my
dreams of green fields and bab
bling brooks in far distant Arcady,
a land of which I am doomed to
ever dream and never realize. She
must have known that often and
again, when weary of the world and
all its hollow ambition, and vain
desires, my spirit turns to that
realm which my fancy has painted
where all is light and love and
where Time’s farthest reaching bil
low never disturbs the serenity of
those peaceful scenes.
There was a time when I wan
dered in a day dream where the
pink wild roses flaunted their dewy
cluster in the freedom and abandon
of their seclusion. In each fragrant
heart I saw reflected a hope that
with the songful summer bloomed
and died. It was a little romance
that never interfered with the hap
piness of the outside world and on
ly two aching hearts when the sun
went down. I suppose that the
world is filled with just sucn pas
sages.
There is a sanctify about them
that precluded the possibility of
sin. Men and woman are purified
and ennobled by such sentiments
that are not merely of the earth,
but are for all time and all eterni
ty. It disgusts me when I meet
with people whose natures are so
gross that they cannot appreciate
the purity and beauty of such
sentiments. But I set out to talk
about the wild roses and I will not
desecrate them by intruding such
worldly thoughts.
I know that if the humming
birds that used to greet me every
morning last summer before the
old hag November robbed me of
my morning glories could get a
glimps of my sweet wild roses that
they would hover around them in
an ecstacy of delight. I know that
they would have to poke their tiny
noses close to the painting before
they would be convinced that they
were not real products of some val
ley where the ivy grows green and
the waters glide so sweetly.
Long will I cherish them as gen
tle reminders of the saddest sweet
est summer that my heart has ever
known. They will recall memo
ries that are sacred to dreams that
were more than mortal. When I
look upon them in all their luxu
riant beauty visions shall arise of
distant mountains bathed in sun
shine and of winding streams that
flash back the silvery iridescence
of leafy branches, and I shall hear
the sighs of the summer wind and
the music of flowing waters.
But the pink wild roses will be
companions of mine and they will
remind me of the fair face illum
ined by the light of genius and foi
the gentle hand of the painter
whose white soul delights to dwFli
among such exalted themes. Ah
me! Words are so cold and com
mon place when it comes to try
ing to express my appreciation ot
the dainty gift. But she will know
in the days to come how much
brightness and beauty she hat
thrown into the life of one who
has not time to wander among the
hedge rows to inhale the dewy fra
grance of the wild roses.

Among the pupils is Miss Min

cured Miss Cleghorn was in the city
s hopping.
The fire originated in the ward
robe where Miss Cleghorn kept all
I her fine dresses and bats. The\
were all destroyed or totaly ruined.
It entitled a loss of probably S3OO.
Miss Cleghorn is not known to

One of the most charming affairs
of the season was the reception,
given by Miss Eugenia Bitting at
her home on Rentz street, last
Tuesday evening, in compliment
to her guest, Miss Kate Peek, of
Cedartown. The entire lower floor
was thrown open for the entertain
ment of the guests, and the rooms
presented a beautiful picture, with
the groups of pretty girls in their
airy evening dresses.
Miss Bitting wor<> a most becom
ing toilet of dainty white organdie
and lace, and received her guests
witl her usual grace and dignity.
Among the most attractive guests
present was Nliss Peek, whose
charming personality won for her
many admirers. She wore a beau

gauze, while a crush belt of cerese
velvet gave the desired touch of
color. —Dalton Argus-

An Old Hymn.
A pathotic and yec charming sto
ry is told of the origin of the well,
known hymn, “Blest be the Tie
t lat Binds,” which was written by
Rev. John Fawcett, an English
Baptist, who died in 1817, hav
ing spent nearly GO years in the
ministry.
It was in 1772, after a few years
spent in pastoral work, that he was
called to London to succeed the
Rev. Dr. Gill. His farewell sermon
preached near Moins
gate in Yorkshire. Six or seven
wagons stood loaded with his fur
niture and books, and all was ready
for departure.
But his loving people were heart
broken. Men, women, and children
gathered and clung about him and
his family with sad and tearful
faces. Finally, overwhelmed with
the sorrow of those they wore
leaving Dr. Fawcett and his wife
sat down on one of the packing
cases and gave way to grief.
“Oh, John,” cried Mrs. Fawcett
at last, “I cannot bear this! I know
not how to go.”
“Nor 1 either,” returned her hus
band, “and wo will not go. The
wagons shall bo unloaded and
everything shall be put in its old
place.”
His people wore filled with in
tense joy and gratitude at this de
termination. Dr. Fawcett at once
sent a letter to London explain
ing the case, and then resolutely
returned to his work on a salary of
less than S2OO a year.
This hymn was written to com
memorate the events. When Mr.
Coding, a missionary at Aintab, in
Armenia, set out in lEGO to t xplore
the Taurus Mountains, he was to
penetrate an entirely new and dan
gerous field. This fact was fully
realized by the inhabitants of Ain
tab, and they gathered tothenum
ber of 1,500 at the roadsides and
bade farewell to the missionary
and his family in the Armenian
words of this hymn, written nearly
a century before by the devoted
Yorkshire preacher.— Youth’s
Companion.
