TOW \ AM) IMILYiT, o SQUIBS GATHERED HERE AND THERE. o A General Melange of all the Local Happenings of the Week, . G Miss Katie Biese of Chattanooga is visiting Miss Lizzie McLean. Mr. J. P. Jaeoway left for Bir mingham Wednesday morning on business. Clayton Tatum, of Clovordale,is ‘‘hooping things up” for tax collec tor. Election for town commission ers will he held at the court-house on the first Saturday in July. Brown Williams returned from Chattanooga, and is now confined to his bed with an attack of fever. Mr. J. W. Blevins was in town Tuesday looking after his interests in the Representative race. Notice his announcement elsewhere. We did not attend the Cloverdalo pic-nic last Saturday. Natures genial showers “bluffed” off both candidates and newspapermen. The hot season is hero and young and old have begun to shuffle off and don their summer gowns. Mother “hubs” seem to be the fav orite. We acknowledge the receipt of three very fine and lucious peaches grown in th» yard of Mr. J. P. Jaeoway,and return thanks for the same. The Trenton base ballists are arranging a match game with some foreign club to be played at Trenton on the day of the bar becue. We have received several com munications after each of our two last issues, most all of which arriv ed too late. Please send in if you can, by Thursday morning of each week. R. P. Tatum of Rising Fawn was in town Wednesday, and assured us of his appreciation of the pa per by depositing $1.25 with us. A few more like Mr. Tatum would boom our paper to sixteen pages. A scrub cow of our town has sold three times in the past three months for S6O, $65 and $66 respectfully. Mr. Cole, who has the cow, says lie will sell her for one hundred dollars before the 4th of July. Mrs. McFarland, little son and daughter, of Chattanooga, will spend the summer in Trenton. They are stopping at the Bell House. Mrs. McFarland will tie a valuable acquisition to Trenton's social circles. We cannot afford to be “bored” by loafers on Friday, which is the day we print: neither can we allow papers taken from our office by regular subscribers. Get. your pa pers at the post office. Our doors are open at all times to parties on business, especially when credi tors may choose to call. The editors of the Jasper Se qnatchee Herald, judging from the column headed “Bits of Flat tery,” are suffering from the same, malady we have suffered from for sometime, and we can sympathize with them in their po sition. We despise it, and think their course in showing it up in its true light very wise. Col I. E. Shumate of Dalton was “feeling his way” among our citizens this week. Col. Shumate is a candidate for Congress from the 7th Dist. and if elected would reflect honor upon his constituen cy. As an an able lawyer and a thorougly educated gentleman. North Georgia lias not his superior. Capt. W. O. Reese, Jas. L. Hig don, Geo. Penley.and Geo. Renuoe, of Cole City, were in town Wed nesday. We are always glad to see our Cole City friends, and are proud of them; not because they always leave a dollar with us and have the cleanest subscription list, on our books, hut because that is our home. We hope no one will get a mistaken idea here and think we have reference to the peniten tiary. It is too serious a humor. Mr. J. H. Corput has a piece of the flag of the 10th Ala. Regt. to which lie belonged, and which sur rendered at Appomottox C. H. 1 remedial ly before the surrender the survivors of the regiment tore up and divided the old tatered Hag, around which had clustered ail their fair hopes of a saved con federacy. Mr Corput treasurers the small memento as the last link which connected him to a lost cause. The watermelon lias made its appearance,—colic will soon follow. Messrs. John and Dave Kiser have returned from Memphis on a few days visit. We want a good live correspon dent in every locality throughout the county. Dog days. How we wish we were a dog, and did not have to wear clothes. Lets have a boom and call it “per manent Improvements”. Booms don’t last, you know. A boss minstrel troop—Payton Pace, Jim Kines and Jim Brock. “By by, my honey, i am gone.” We suggest that the candidates open the county campaign on July 4th, and fire the first cannon in Trenton. Georgia presented <Ho St. I m convention an array of talent un surpassed by any do; j.nion f.-onri any State. Mr. Thos. Cummings who has been quite sick for the past week, we are glad to state is out on our streets again. Miss Laura Nethery who has been quite sick for the past two months, does act seem to improve in health. Our genial Frenchman gets so hot every day about 1 o'clock, he talks of going to a pond and drowning himself. C. J. Hall, son of Dr. Hall, of the Jackson coal and coke company, was in town Thursday paying off options on coal lands. The recent work in front of the store rooms of Messrs.Lumpkin and Majors adds considerable to the ap peal rence of our town. Miss Zenie Sitton has returned from a several months visit to her grand mothers. Her many friends are happy to note her return. Marion Tatum says he’ll never ex’tend courtesies by voting for an opponent as long as he lives. He done it once and beat himself one vote. A party of our over charitable citizens are organizing, to work out Uncle Marion Tatum’s crop. He should give it his strict attention hereafter. Elder E. G. Sewell will begin a series of meeting at the G. P. church house on the fourth Sun day in June, 1888, and Saturday night before. The girls have announced their intention of organizing an anti kissing society. To counteract the move the boys are organizing a ,‘bachelors club.” Dr. Davis says Solomon recieved the name of being the wisest man, from the fact that he had seven hundred wives to keep him posted on all gossip of the day. Byron Tatum is spending a few days in town. Byron is on the sick list. He says Chattanooga’s asphalt pavement doesn’t keep the mud out of the river water. We introduce this week the first eight page paper ever put out in this county; and by doing so we hope to satisfy the most exacting of our subscribers from any source. A prominent citizen of our town suggests the following ticket for Town Commissioners at the July election, J. P. Bond, B. P. Majors B. T..Brock,R. S.llodgers and T.H. B. Cole. ,T. B. Williams has returned from Manchester Tennessee, where he has been negotiating to sell State rights on a patent corn plan ter, which is the neatest contri vance we have seen. There is a certain class of “sore heads” whose grumbling we shall not. attempt to appease; and as far as their subscription is concerned. We are like Mark Twain —Ding ’em we don’t want ’em. Monday was the day set by Judge Fain for hearing of several motion relative to some of the most important cases on Superor Court Docket, but on account of sickness in the Judge’s family he did not arrive. There were in attendance the le gal fraternity. Judge McCutchen, Col. T. E. Shumate an l McKamy ; also Col. Shumate of Chattanooga. In enumerating the advantages of Dade county the estimate can not he placed too high. Take this county just as it is, with its range production and conditions of rffimate, its abundance of wood and | water power, the present evidences of still greater development in the near future, all these point to Dade county as a good place for the immigrant, and in all Georgia, there is no section better than tnis. HEAD! DEAD! DEAD! o TOLL THE BELL FOR THOSE WHO FELL. . o Quietly and Easily Did They Die, Without a Murmur, Scarcely a Sigh. o Pursuant to a call of Chairman Evans, the Democratic executive committee of Dade county assem bled at the court house m Trenton, at 11 o’clock, a m., June 6tu, 1888. The permanent chairman being absent, Marion Tatum was culleu to the chair as temporary chair man, and Ed. C. Griscom was cho sen secretary. Ail "ho im-mber, answering to in.:: names in person or by proxy, iho cominiVT.ee proceeded to busi- LI l oib. A motion was made by B. T. Brock to recall the order lor a pri mary election to be held on the second Saturday in Juiy, for the purpose of selecting a candidal the State Senate from the Senatorial district. motion was pending, and itfuow being 12 o’clock m, the coni?art tee adjourned until 1 o'clock F. M. At the time set by adjournment the committee resembled and took up the motion to recall the ordoJ for a primary. On motion ot B. T. Brock the Sec retary read abstracts from Walker County Messenger * iii,i<f v '<?a*fcosa Courier relative to the fiction \ of the committee in calling a. pri mary. The question being called upon the original motion, said question was put before the committa • and carried by a vote of 5 io 4. J. W. Blevins was chosen, per manent chairman, vice ThoS? R. Evans, resigned. Geo. Peniy was chosen to fill the vacancy in the Colo City District. A resolution was passed order ing that the proceedings of said meeting be published in Dade County News., and that a copy of the same be sent to the Catoosa Courier and Walker County Mes senger. There being no further business before the committee an adjournment was taken sine die. NOTES. The political pot boils to a won derful heat. The primary was only primary, you know. The opponents of the primary rather had the upper hand, al though the-committee was equally divided. Marion Tatum is the most impar tial chairman we ever knew. He recognized everybody, and if they desired, all at once. “Gentlemen, I would rather have my right arm split in shreds and cast from my body than swallow it.” He gulped it down, though, without a sign of choking, Dave Tatum says he is going to make it hot for the anti-primary men. Wait till July and August, Dave, and you can get in your work without exerting yourself or the horse you so generously offered to lend us. “Shut up. or I’ll knock you do\vn with an ink stand,” and the young speaker turned his eyes, blazing with fury, in the direction of a very noisy disturber, with his hand in position to back his asser tion-—he shut. sheriff" SALES. The calendar clock advertised for sale was bought by J. A. Cu ret or. for $11.05 The G. M. Crablieo house and lot was sold to W.Rri ffa's tree for $195.00. On account of a restraining oru<sr from Judge Fain the S. B. Austin property did not sell. A small crowd in attendance. BARBECUE. The Barbecue spoken of for the 4th of July is now a certainty. All the candidates for the Legisla ture,(so far ar we can learn) agree to furnish a sheep or a goat for the occasion. John McMahan, Hado Payne and Pay ton Pace are to bar becue the meats. With such expe rienced hands to “turn the mutton’’ added to all the dainties the young ladies of Trenton and vicinity know so well how to prepare, we may ex pect a feast worthy to grace a Kings table. On this day of all days in American history, will the candidate spout forth wisdom to his expectant constituency. We may expect some regular spread eagle oratory A procession of “Horribles”are to lend mirth to the occasion. The grounds will be decided upon some time next week, when a com mittee of arrangements wall be ap pointed. BRIEFS. We will publish free to our sub scribers all estray notices. Mr. Brown reports that the wheat crop this year will not make a half one at his place. The wheat is terribly eaten up by rust. Dave Tatum says it is of no use plough to the air or try to con vince a man in inalt»r« of no con sequence, he is a primary man. Mr. C’has. Hall paid out to our citizens over SISOO dollars for min eral interests this week. Looks as if the company meant business. Let the good Work go on. All the women go into ecstaeies when they see Mrs. Cleveland’s new spring walking suit The suit is described as'being of gray cloth trimmed with broad white braid, and a very'tall gray hat, trimmed with stone-color velvet, and snow balls. Trenton is in need of a drug store Mr. J. l’i. Williams,to-day, endeav ored to get some medicine for his child who is seriously ill. One physician wouldn’t let him have it i'or fear he would need it for his own patients, and others had none. This is a deplorable state of affairs. May the God of special blessings deliver us from that, half educated egotistic, self-conceited, affected, all tongue, rich (in their mind) class of people, who imagine that in their own precious carcas blooms every beauty, dwells every virtue, ‘sparkles every gem. springs every fountain of art, genius and learn ing; rises every planet of the first magnitude, and sets every sun — every body poverty stricken fools but themselves, and they angels of unspoiled type. MYk TEE iOF 8 RUN AW/ Y A young lady representing her self to be an orphan secured a po sition as cook for Mrs. Robertson last Wednesday. All went well un til an. aged father appeared Thurs day morning and claimed the young Miss as bis daughter, who had run away from his home, near Atlanta, in company with her elder sister,who had gotten a position in a Chattanooga dry goods house. The gentleman refused to give any name and put the same prohi bition upon his daugter who had give her name as Callie Smith. Nevertheless Mrs. Robertson se cured the card of ihe young ad venturess, which read Miss A. L. Hardin. The young ladies refused to give any reasons for their very comical little escapade. DIED. Russel Havron, aged 14, at Jas per, Tcnn. last Tuesday, after a painful illness £ three months. His remains were brought to Tren ton Wednesday evening, and laid to rest Thursday in the fam ily graveyard. To the father, brothers and sister, we extend our heart-felt sympathy. Little infant of Mr. and Mrs. Petitt of Rising Fawn, last Mon day. Mrs. Petitt had just stepped into the garden to get some vegetables, leaving the baby in the cradle apparently in sound health. When sho returned, the baby was dead. The grief-striehen parents have the sympathy of all in this their sad hour. IN MEMORIAM. In the midst of life we are in death. Standing at thethreshhold of great Eternity. In less than one short week the subject of this memoir passed from perfect health and childish joys in time to the Heavenly Lord. The little bud that began to bloom here is but transplanted into a sweeter crime, to burst forth the full blossom rare, in the presence of God and holy Angels, aud where Jesus is,to live forever and forever in that grand and glorious home of the Soul. Father, Mother, Relatives, and Friends, let us uot weep for the absence of little Nellie, because she has just gone on to Glory —too sweet to be permitted to remain longer here. Heavenly Father hail need for her up higher. There to stand out as one of the beaken-lights, to guide us (who survive her) ou to our Heavenly Home. Little Nellie iu fact is uot dead, but has just began to live, and to be a little angel amongst the grand company of angels and the Heavenly lights. Let us then remember that she can’t come back to us, but that if we will seek an interest in the Blood of Christ live, for God, and his course, striving all the while to enter in at the straight gate —we all may, and it is ours if we but will so —go and live with little Nel lie and all the happy throng who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, there to be blessed forever more.
