There are plenty of peaches this
year, but experience teaches us that
this is also a good year for worms.
When Sanford C. Smith visits
Trenton something new and won
derful always follows—an eclipse of
the moon is the latest.
The hot July sun is warming the
boys up, and little guns are being
fired at a distance which will event
ually lead to a face to face combat
Trenton, at present is enjoying a
mo.st unenviable reputation. There
are no places where such a ?ontin
ual criticism gmd cutting up of
character goes on.
Miss Hattie Pace has opened her
school at Morrison. Miss Hattie
has a very large attendance which
is a clear indication of her suc
cess as a teacher.

pleasant as ever.

Byrd’s Chapel by Rev. J. L. Prater
closed last Tuesday night. While
the meeting resulted in a great deal
of good, still no conversions were
made. Brother Prater will begin a
series of meetings in Trenton Sat
urday night. Let all who can at
tend.
Generally speaking, if you are
troubled with the“blues”«nd cannot
tell why,you may be sure it springs
from physical weakness. Instead
of lying on a sofa and courting
>painful ideas, if you are a despond
ing lover, a hypochondriac or a
valetudinarian, you should be up
and stirihg yourself.
We are requested to announce
that G. W. M. Tatum, candidate for
Representative, will speak at C.'lov

The senior editor was the recipi

It took a sheriff’s posse to quell a
little disturbance in our office to
day, and after all the News force
had to succumb to superior forces-
Freedom of the press is not what it
should be or what it has been.
Probably, but few teachers enjoy
such great love and esteem of
the pupils as Miss Eula Austelle,
who recently taught music in the
Dade Normal. Every week the lit

our office with the exclamation:
“I have a letter from Miss Eula.”
Bishop Pace: Boys I enjoyed

off my sore toe;” won’t you.
“Bye-bye, my honey, I am. gone.”
Dr. Jus. R. Brock, left last Wednes
day for Rising Fawn to practice
medicine with Dr. J. W. Russey.
His departing is a great loss to our
community and will be felt by all.
While we envy Rising Fawn in se
curing his services still we feel that
Trenton has his heart sufficiently
Pierced to bring him back again.
Cupid got his work last Sunday
night. The eclipse was a success

knoll and hill could be heard mel
low voices “talking velvet” to list

influence of soft moon light, twink

3 o’clock in the morning, and if the
world could all be, and remain as

ATTENTION THIRTY-NINTH !
• The annual re-union of the 39th
Georgia Regiment will take place
in Dalton Aug. l~th, 1888. All
survivors are urgently requested to
be present, it has been thought
best to give upon this occasion a
regular basket spread in our beau
tiful city park, instead of a barbe
cue as heretofore. All who live
near enough will he expected to
bring with them their baskets well
tilled. The ladies of Dalton, to
gether with the wives and daugh
ters of our survivors, will be pres
ent to superintend affairs and see
that none go away uncared for.
The survivors of Phillip’s Legion
as well as of Cumming’s Brigade,
will meet with us. Those of the
39th who intend 'mining will
please confer at once with

jOR BITS OF NOTH! NO CON
TAINING SOMETHIN i.
When a young man sneers at the
back-woods town a which he was
; born, and the people and their old
-1 fashioned ways, he has Inst the best
j part of his man-hood. Let theehil
| dren of farmers feel that theirde
scent is from the nobility of our
land. In tb<‘ homes where tie
were nurture'! are the strong-hold
of the (virtue and independence of
their country.
Brilliant talents, graces of per
son, confirmed intrepidity, and a
continual habit of displaying these
advantages, seem all that is aimed
at in the education of girls. The
parents first error, in the preference
of accomplishments to virtues nat
urally leads their miscducated
daughters to prefer sentiment to
principle and make it the guide of
their life. Thus they even become
| willing to appear to others what in
reality thev are not. The love of
• »
display is often j ermitted to enter !
to much into the tissue of female
education. Girls, 1 wouldn’t do it. j
it is so eaisly detected.
Some of the young ladies did not:
agree with our Hints last week in |
regard to effects of unisons ou
health. While in conversation j
with one. of our young local physi
cians, he said, few circumstances j
are more injurious to beauty, then!
the constrained movement,suffused
complexion and labored respire-j
tion that betray tight lacing. The 1
play of intelligence and varied i
emotions which throw such a charm !
over the brow of youth, are im-j
peded by whatever obstructs the j
flow of the blood from th< heart. .
In Greece, where the elements ( f
beauty and grace were earliest, com
prehended, and most happily illus- ;
trated the line symmetry of the;
form was left untortured.
Protracted meet : ngs are now the
; forces employed to stir up some
thing likaanimation in the super
annuated condition of Christian af
; fairs.
Dade lias long since been con
domned by many as the hardest hole
to make conversions known to the
ministers of the gospel. The cause
I of this is eaisly discerned. While it
would not hold water from a theo
logical or Biblical stand-point, it
certainly is harbored in human
nature, and acts as a soothing an
i tidote for the conscience. There
are many active members of the
church, whose religion is merely
! a matter of words, and used onlv
*
on meeting house occassions. but
| rarely illustrated actively on the
outside. If one be untrue, and
trie key with men, he cannot win
the confidence of the poor sinner
who knows him, by any amount of
praying, pasalm-singingor church
going. Praying will not cancel
cheating, nor attending church, ly
ing; and many a soul turns away,
because he is to rebellious by na
ture, to be lead into the ‘tender
Shepherd’s fold” by a man who just
last week done him up in a “hoss
trade,”
The young people are the souls
| that the great majority of the
churches are endeavoring to con
vert. And it is a painful fact that
' they a.ie getting further and further
from their reach through the argu
ments and illustrations used to
picture to them the hideousness of
| some sins. The lint's are drawn
to tight, and the rules of the church
I to strict for the young people of the
‘ present day, and should i>e altered
on the account of the great diver
sity opinions as to what consti
tutes innocent amusements. And j
we are'of the opinion if this was
| done, there would be a great in
| crease of young, live and working!
| church members, that, as it is, arc
held out. To rebuke some sins,
# i
; under certain eircumtsances, sim
ply awakens all the combativeness
of their nature, and "makes them
more determined in wrong-doing.

By the Blood-thirsty .
But: on
j On last Friday morning (Jharlm
: Sutton, colored, stabbed Bub t’r
in the left side between the third
and fourth ribs, leaving a gash 2;
inches long.
Hearing of the cutting of Robert
Dross caused much regret and sur
j pris r o the citizens who knew Ms
Dm:-:- *o be a quiet and orderly
yeu:,g w in. But Charley Sutton’s
name hrihg given as the principal
a-or- n the tragedy was no surprise
wit.cover, • ineo this is not his first
affair of the kind.
THE FACTS.
(. has. Sutton came into the Mor
ganvilie depot Friday morning m.-
j dor the influence of whisky, m.ik i-. r
: hiuisoif at home by laying d wt,
j upon the benches arranged fo:
passengers. The young; men, in
! charge of the office requested him
1
to g“t out of the office as some young
lad.'is would soon be in. Refusing
to go out. Charley called for a ticket,
and was ordered out of the room
until tine to g"t a ticket. This'so
enrageTl '.lie negro that he declared
he would not go. The agent with an
oath again ord'*red him out, Sut
ton still refusing, and ail the tin; -
talking-very boisterous and usin
considerable profanity.
It was just as .Sutton put his
hand in his pocket and was ap
-1 preaching th ■ agent Bint Robert
j Cross seized a chair and ran him
j out of the house, when he stopped
i and again put his lmud in his poek
j et, and was ordered by Cross to
j leave fireplace; and then the chair
i was thrown, but missed Surtom
j who now drew his knife and pur
: sued Cross into the ’nous , out of it
; thmugn a window, and again in and
j out, and some distance from the de -
j pot, Cross saying all the time “don’t
throw that' rock,” until Charley.
i now within ten foot of‘his victim,
threw the rock which did not strike
i Cross, who new turned in defense
j with a stick, which he made no
j effort to use, not knowing t hat Chur
! ley had the knife. The stick being
grasped in Charley’s left hand and
his victim difencles;-, tiie cruet
thrust was given in JW manor and
with the result Wove" stated.
After being cut Cross released him
self from Button’s grasp and fled
followed some distant • by the would
be murderer who in giving up pur- ‘
suit threw the stick he had taken!
from Cross as a parting salute.
After cutting Cross the now;
thoroughly enraged brute returned
to the depot with knife in hand and
seized the agent by the collar, and
in spite of the frightened agents j
begging, v< uld have kilied him had j
il not boon for the entreaty of Mr.}
Win. Tittle.
It was not until Tuesday that the
authorities succeeded in bringing |
Sutton to Trenton, where he was i
lodged in jail, waving examination. I
The time intervening between the
committing of the act and arrestor
the criminal alone saved our county
the disgrace of a lynching. Cooler
thoughts now prevail, and the good
sense and propriety of the people
will not admit of any rash act.
A crime has been committed, and
be that crime great or small, the law
! should take its course, and mete
out whatever justice to the crimi
nal is due.
Mr. Cross, although still in a
very critical condition, is rapidly
improving, and indications point ’
to a speedy * recover, which will be
very gratifying to his many friends,
who watch for everyday’s report,
with manifest interest,
—
One of Trenton’s gayest young
men went to sleep last night with
some rather pleasant thoughts rack
ing his brain—in fact fancy had
held high revel with the young
man’s mind, and after dropping oil
to sleep, he was heard to exclaim
in a voice denoting much confi- j
deuce in himself : “i’ll hitch lip the
black mare to my new buggy to- t
morrow and go down and see that 1
one hundred thousand dollar girl.” j
Jim Bond says he will vouch fori
the above, and see us safe in the j
matter.
