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.

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.
