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. Reuben Haney, an old time citi zen of Dade, but now of Sequachee Valley, was in town this week visi ting friends. Mr. Haney kept hotel here ten years ago. The candidates are feeling their way cautiously. Just when and where they will open their batteries is not known,but the announcement is awaited with interest. We forgot to say in our last is sue that Mr. Mike Fahey gave us 50 cent s and three cigars to state that he did not attend the perfor mance given by Prof Teal. Payton Hendrex, after a pleas ant visit among friends and rela tives fox about two weeks or more, waved all a fond adieu last Monday, and started on iiis journey to the Lone Star State. Mike, the Magician, has return ed, the show having stranded at Fort Payne, Ala., compelling Mike to count the cross ties back home. Mike, although looking a little weather-beaten, was as genial and pleasant as ever. The protracted meeting held at 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 erdale on the first Saturday in Au- Igust, and at Morganville the ‘2dSat [urday in August. All other can- Ididates for Representative or State [Senate are invited to be present and ■address the people.

These anticipatory ■<>vs increase during the whole life, Bud it is hoped will so encase him B 1 fire-proof arms that the devil find him to hard a case for his Business. I luist Saturday night quite a num i |W r the young people assembled residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. ■ Rodgers and gazed with wonder B'l admiration at the eclipse of A very pleasant time B ls *uul, and many theories were B'auced as to the cause of the “< - i;p wii • h '.<<W‘ d the■ oui young people were capable ot shoot ing their minds into the distance and solving great problems. W illie Jacoway, son of W. U. Jacoway is quite sick with l'ever. Miss Delia Fahey, of Rising Fawn, has gone to Gadsden for a few days. Mrs. W. U.

The senior editor was the recipi tent of a twelve pound cabbage bead, donated by N. W. Cole. “The. Lord loveth a cheerful giver,” and so does the editor. 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 tle and big ones come running into our office with the exclamation: “I have a letter from Miss Eula.” Bishop Pace: Boys I enjoyed that ride better than any ride I ever took in my life. I just threw that, back, touched that little horse and she glided to Morgan villo in great shape, 1 tell you ! The wind just fanned our cheeks. “Get 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 draw-card, and from every little knoll and hill could be heard mel low voices “talking velvet” to list ening ears under tlie inspiring influence of soft moon light, twink ling stars, and bright eyes till about 3 o’clock in the morning, and if the world could all be, and remain as happy as that party of (Mirth’s hap py children were, there would be no more wars and a little use for a better hereafter.

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 JOHN BLACK. Bec y 39th Ga. liegt. Hi.Uid., a lib!*, 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. ■-•TAB.', ‘ <i; 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.
