A Miss Lumpkin, of North Dalton,
who is inclined towards “trances,”
went off into one Sunday night at the
meeting in the North Dalton church.
Her soul was rapt in visions, and her
body seemed lifeless for forty-eight
i hours, when she regained conscious
ness. It caused a great deal of ex
ciitement among the people there.
The meeting at Hamilton street
church closed Wednesday night
with very good congregations. The
meeting did not reach a revival
point, but it created more than com
mon interest. The congregations
increased, many strangers attended
which was quite encouraging. We
trust much good was done.
Card of Thanks.—We wish to
thank our many friends who so
kindly ministered to us in our recent
bereavement. Especially do we wish
to thank Dr. Tom Smith, of Dawn
ville, for his kindness to us. These
friends will ever be cherished in our
hearts and we hope that when trou
ble comes to them, they will meet
with similar friends. Mr. and Mrs.
L. B. Ray.
The festival on the Presbyterian
church lawn Tuesday night for the
benefit of the church, was a most
gratifying success. The place was
brilliantly lighted on one side of the
church, while the other side was
softly illuminated by moonbeams
alone. A large crowd was present,
•njoying the fun, ices, and moon
light until a late hour. The results
of the effort were a most delightful
evening and $37 cleared.

Interest in the poultry show at the
State fair in Atlanta this fall, con
tinues to grow, and the outlook now
is for the largest and finest exhibi
tion of this kind that the South has
ever seen. Inquiries about the ex
hibition are coming from far and
near, and there will be not less than
four or five thousand fine birds on
exhibition. In conjunction with the
poultry show, the Executive Com
mittee has authorized the holding of
a dog show, and appropriated five
hundred dollars for premiums. This
additional feature has met with wide
approval, and will be one of the
sights of the fair.
Mrs. C. P. Gordon gave a most
enjoyable entertainment to the little
folks who attend her Mission Sun
day school in West Dalton, Saturday
night. Every thing was prepared
to make them enjoy the evening.
Swings were on the lawn and all pres
ent enjoyed the time very much.
Cream and cake was served. About
60 little children were present, many
of whom had never attended any
thing similar before, and whose
hearts were filled to the brim with
gladness. It was a noble thought
which prompted Mrs. Gordon to do
this and we trust the Mission spirit
will spread.
The entertainment given by Miss
Annie Pruden, Thursday evening,
in honor of Misses Elsie Garlington
and Frankie King was a decided
success, thoroughly original in all
methods of entertainment. They
played a game of Belles and Beaux.
Bells and bows cut of cardboard and
tied with dainty ribbons were given
as souvenirs. The game was rather
one of “Progressive Old Maid.” Mr.
E. L. Jordon won a prize, a hand
some picture frame and Miss Margie
Huff a spoon, to console her in her
old maidhood. The number present
was very large, and all enjoyed the
evening greatly.
Rev. J. E. Jones D. D., pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of
Maridian Miss., will spend the month
of August with Col. T. R. Jones of
of this place and will fill the pulpit
of the First Presbyterian church of
this city during that month. Dr.
Jones, during his seminary course
at Columbia, S. C., filled this pulpit
during the summer vacation of Mr.
Gaston many years ago, and is
pleasantly remembered by many
of the membership of this church.
Rev. Lingle, during that month, will
occupy the pulpit of the Second
Presbyterian church at Charlotte, N.
C. This method of taking a sum
mer vacation, is growing in popular
ity with tbe ministers of that church
and but few of its pulpits are vacant
at any time.
Cartersville, July 18.—This
morning the trial of a negro charged
with stealing a diamond pin at the
wedding of Miss Louise Munford
last December, came up before Judge
Fite. Col. A. S. Johnson was attor
ney for the negro. Mr. L. S. Mun
ford was put on the stand and John
son asked the question: “How do
you know your wife did not give
away that pin?” “I know she did
not.” “How do you know she did
not?” Munford hesitated. Johnson
repeated his question, and Munford
said: “No gentleman would ask
that question.” Johnson made an
effort to strike Munford, but before he
could hit him, Munford gave him a
lick which knocked him on the floor.
They were immediately separated.
Judge Fite fined Munford SSO. and
Johnson $lO for contempt of court.
The case proceeded. Johnson asked
Munford a few more questions.
Some of the attractive visiting
young ladies in Dalton now are Miss
Elsie Garlington, of Ragland, Ala.,
and Miss Frankie King, of Newnan,
Ga., who are adding to the happiness
of the home of J. C. H. King, and
Miss Mary McGaughey, the guest of
Miss Lucy Maddox, who has about
all the Dalton hearts she can man
age. Miss Hattie Eldridge, of Chat
tanooga, is a great attraction to the
Prater home. Cartersville has con
tributed to Dalton’s pleasure by lend
ing Miss Eula White, who is visiting
at the home of J. A. Crawford.
Quite soon Misses Lucy Freeman, of
Atlanta, and Mattie Flemister, of
Tunnel Hill, will add to the gayety.
Dalton never had a more attractive
set of visitors, though we would like
the number to be larger.
