MARIETTA. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 8. iS.H
A terrible accident occurred in our
city last Saturday which shocked the
whole community and will not die
out of remembrance for years to come.
Mr. 9. A. G. Anderson accompanied by
Mr. A. S. Anderson., better known a
mong his friends as tins, were driving
a very spirited horse when the animal
became frightened and ran away.—
Crossing the railroad near the Livery ;
Stable be made a sudden turn throwing
both gentlemen from the buggy. Mr.
tins Anderson was nearly doubled a
round a tree and almost instantly killed.
Mr. ('buck Anderson’s arm was broken
in two places. Ids shoulder knocked! out
ofjointand it was at fir-t feared that
he had received internal injury. The
relatives of Mr. Gits Anderson living at
a distance were immediately telegraph
ed and a sister and brother arrived
Sunday evening. The funeral ser
vice was conducted at the Presbyterian
church at 9 o’clock Monday morning by
Rev. D. L. Buttolph, after which
the. precession headed by the Marietta
Fire Company, moved slowly to the I
cemetery to consign to their last rest
ing-place the remains of a beloved
friend and relative. As the clods fell
with a dull thud upon Ids collin few
eyes there were not moist with tears of
sincere regret. On few occasions has
so much respect, been tendered a tie
parted citizen. Many of our business
houses were closed and every one
seemed anxious to bear an humble part,
in bidding a last adieu toohe of Mariet
ta’s best, young men. He leaves a fath
er, mother, brothers and a sister be
sides a host of near relatives, broken
hearted and despondent, knowing not
in what way to turn for comfort- in
this their dark hour of sorrow. All
that is good and pleasant of life seems
suddenly and under the most harrow
ing circumstance* to be taken from
them. May the merciful God, comfort
and restore them to perfect peace, be
lieving that though a dearly loved one
is taken from them, In* is removed to a
sphere where the trials an sorrows of
this life can not effect and entrance.
After a week of constant labor, we
concluded on last Saturday to lay aside
all care and spend a day as others be
lare us had done, in fishing. Having
read of the numerous seven-pound trout
to he caught and even shot from the
banks of Owen’s Pond, in Paulding
county, we decided to visit that portion
of Jonah-whatedem. The road as far
its the line of Paulding, some twelve
miles from this place, was as good as
could be desired, but after crossing the
line, hills, yea, mountains loomed up
before our timorous and unaccustomed
gaze. The question was, if we get up
them, how the deuce will we get down?
Nerved however with the remembrance
that whole armies had tumbled from
these same heights, we mustered
courage to proceed. Our team was
pretty well jaded and we made slow
progress the remaimlt ** of the journey.
In the course of the A die passed thpj

the bodies after the war were taken up
and interred in the respective cemeter

events we reached Pumpkinvine where
we were kindly tendered, by Mr. Fre
mantle-miller, the u<e nfa stable for
our horse and a boat io tase us up the
pond. We took to water a> naturally a*
ducks in a boat) and fished a- though
our existence depended upon an ex
pansion of our patience. After many
wettings and splashing*, caused by the
management o 4 'paddles plied by hands
unused to anything broader than a
stt'i'k, we gave up the job as * bad one,
crawled out oh the bank and gave our
selves up to cold grub and drowsy
musing* until time to return.
>u our way home we think our time
was employed more profitably than du
ring tlie foregoing hours of the day.—
We jogged along leisurly and gave our
attention entirely to viewing the sur
rounding country and the agricultural
outlook along the distance traveled.—
We -aw some very fine fields of wheat,
indeed the crop is more forward than
in < obb, but liow they ever got it
plowed in on tie* side* of those afore
mentioned hills, is a mystery ton*. Of
fine building rock the whole country is
covered and were it near to market;
would prove a source of inexhaustible
wealth. Paulding is noted for its fine
mules many specimens of w hich we saw
at work in tlu* field*. Settlements are
becoming more frequent, in fact the
entire country is being rapidly cleared
up and neat houses are to be found at
short intervals from each other. No
doubt we have tired our readers with
this rudely related adventure but it
may be of interest to those who pro
pose an exploring expedition. As for
an exclusive hunt for a fishing ground
we would sav go to Frorida—go to the
sea coast, in fact anywhere but to Paul

•WILD HORSE*’ RIPPLES.
Tin* late showers have brought rip a
good stand of cotton generally. We had
a little frost <ui Saturday morning, lint
as it did little or no injury to flic cotton
a happy smile illuminated the counte
nance of the fanners. Our darkies are
spending their night* in fishing and a
good portion of rheday in sleepy idleness
dreaming of the good times they will
have catching the varmint! in the ‘Ter
rito's' as some call it. Some ask are the
‘Territo’ a* far as Green < 'ouuty Georgia
and how big do “Possums’grow there.
Our friends will find it to their advan
tage to patronise Perkinson A Simon
■ ton's mill on Sweet water if they want
good flour amj plenty of it. you will
find them courteous and obliging gen
tlemen.
If the jericho’s are not drinker- they
are inveterate smokers, at least we
judge them bv the way they puff as they
pass our door going to and from their
meetings; far he it from us to censure
them in this their innocent pleasure, for
we fully appreciate the benefit tbei r or
der has been to our neighborhood gen
erally.
Mr. T. M. Brag and lady have return
ed to their home in Griffin, after spend
ing a few days with their relatives on
wild hor*e. Mr. DuPree of Campbel
ton was visiting in our neighltorhood
on Sunday last.
Some pronounced the picnic on Oley’a
Creek last week rather- dull, while
others seemed to enjoy it hugely.

LOST MOUNTAIN.
The farmers have worked with vigor
the past week, plowing and replanting
corn SO a- to lie ready to make an attack
on General Green in its infancy in the
cotton patch. Cotton is coming up very
well and some seed left over from plant
ing. We had a white frost on the
morning of the fird which caused every
t hing to look pale but did hot material
ly damage anything.
There are petitions out among our
people to sign praying the Ordinary to
grant an order to make anew mili
| tai’y district by cutting a portion of
Oregon and the twentieth district so as
to make it more convenient for a good
1 many who live near the Paulding line
of the two old districts. We hope the
Ordinary will grant the order as it does
i not create any offices but those self sus
tain ing.
We wen* at new Shiloah church last
Sunday and saw four worthless dogs in
the house at one time, that were allowed
to follow their owners and now we
are in favor of a tax on dog*.
We did not know how to value the
accommodation Mr. Jackson’s store af
forded this neighborhood until it was
burned. He has laid in a small stock
of family groceries [in his old store
house.
