!o'l\ A.\l) COLYFV. o SQUIBS GATHERED HERE AND THERE. — Rain and mild. Camp meeting on the mountain. Mr. J. A. Curetou is quite pick. Riley Crabtree was at home last Sunday. J. B. McCollum was in town Tuesday. James Blevins, of Rising Pawn was in town to-day. Crawford Stovall returned from the Furnace Monday. Dr. L. Case, of K&tchall Tenn., was in town this week. Calvin Castleberry says his plow boy will soon be ready for duty. Mr. John L. Case who has been very sick for some time is improv ing. Mr. Wm, Tatum, of Cartersville, Is visiting relatives in Trenton and Rising Fawn. Bob Thurman and John Pitman attended camp meeting several days this week. It has been raining every day fhis week. Hard on fodder nulling and sorghum making Col. E. D. Graham, of Carters ville, was in.* last Thurs day. lie was looking well A hard rain was nor sufficient to deter the attendance of a ‘‘goodly number” at the Tuesday’s sale. Mrs. and Miss Hickman of Chat tanooga. have been spending sev eral days at the residence of J. P. Bonds. The town ordnances should be obeyed, and judging from last Friday’s actions of the bodrd we believe they wiii be executed. The yellow fever at Jacksonville, Fla. , seems to be on the incroas -j. Chattanooga has established a perfect system of quarantine. All accounts owning to this con cern we shall expect to be paid court week. Don’t console yourself with the idea that we do not need it. Mr. James A. Case is the member of the Exeutivo Committee of the 7th District from this county, and Col. J. A. McKaney, of Murray, is chairman of the committee. Most all the candidates are en joying a few days needed rest with their families and at the same time desiring some means by which they can defeat the oth t fellow. The Dade Normal roll of stu dents are increasing, and the school progressing finely under the supervision of the Messrs. Watson, assisted by our own efficient towns lady. Miss Mary Case. Tom Gray, of Dalton, is disper sing his wit ,-to an eager crowd this week. To draw a crowd or foreea laugh we would take Tom in preference to a hand organ or a ring-tailed monkey, Some of our citizens should con tribute for the erection of a free lunch house for the especial bene fit of ail the tramps who may care to visit, our town. We have no sympathy for the fraternity, but believe some action should be taken for the protection of our home against their depredations. CROPS. The protective yield of this crop is two points lower than the prospect one month ago. The dry weather severely injured the late coru in North Georgia. The other sectionf show no change other than may be chargded to a slight reduc tion estimates after the fodder was pulled, The average for the State 98, is still higher thnn esti mates of July 1, when it was thought that the crop promised to yield enough for all homo demand. COTTON. The general average condition and psospect of this cropt has fal len from 89 on the first of Augusr to 85 on Jthe first of September, a loss of four points. In North Georgia the reduction was from 92 to 87; Middle Georgia 87 to 86; South-west Georgia, 93 to 83: East Georgia 80 to 79, and m South' s‘ Georgia from 92 to 91. This shows that the condition of the crop in Southwest Georgia has declined more than the aggregate reduetioh of the other four sections This woi due h j the more general pre valence of lust and at the same time the depredations of caterpil lars. A MELANCHOLY DEATH ‘‘Miss Virgie Killian is dead.’ 1 passed from lip to Up all day yes terday, and no words more express ive could bo. spoken or carry with, them a greater sorrow, or form a better line for a dirge. Hm death was as sudden and unexpected as it was sad. Young, beautiful and gifted—a combination of all the virtues that tend to form a woman of the most perfect ar.d lo\reli»st type — 3110 had just launched her self out on the world to mould and shape the youthful lives and less informed minds of those around her. And hero it might bo said to the pride of the people, and as a testimonial of her gifts and knovr lede anu worth, that in the exami nation before the ph’olic school commissioners for license as a com petent instructress, she attained the highest possible average, and her papers, whit h were forwarded to the head State official of educa tion for inspection, wore highly commented on by that gentleman for' 'heir completeness, their ac curacy ana general fund of inform ation. We would not attempt to speak of her many virtues. No -words of our vocalbury could add to their lustre, which sparkles in deeds and acts, although, true indeed, it is, that they whom death has hidden j from our eight are worthiest ot the j minds regard. Though her radiant j soul had taken its spiritual flight ; i though the voice, which, but a few days ago in the school-room brought day-spring with its tone, is now silent; though the music of her life is broken and changed in every chord, arid & happy home bereft of the light and sunshine of her presence, we cannot say that she is dead but rather a treasure removed, a bright spirit parted for clearer day, although reaped in the fuii-tide of melody and joy. We cannot comprehend nor realize tne papgs of lyss qow, but when the distant bell peals out in silvery notes, calling ali to spiritual wor ship, then we will miss with a double loss,Bhe;so steadfast in faith, in meek devotion pure, and where beamed the true and tender light of her face benignant ly around. So pure, so true, so earnest, so filled to overflowing with Christian love and duty was her life, death alone is all that could crown it with perfect happiness. The dear and precious record of her life she has left will be cherished and revered the treasured gem of sorrowing hearts till Heaven gives the idol back to loving parents, broth ers and sisters,.who, if there is a coaolejng sympathy in words for so deep a sorrow, can rejoice in the sweet thought, her epul has gained its want—lmmortality, and she is blest. THE FACTS. We understand a report is being circulated to the effect that M. A. B. Tatum and G. W Tatum sold out to the Rising Fawn Iron Co. the right to bring and work con victs upon their property, and re alizing that the truth of such a re port would be a strong card against G. W. M. Tamm’s election to the legislature, we determined -to in vestigate the matter, and if possi ble. arrive at the true facts of the whole transaction. We find the records of the Dade county lands upon which the Ris ing Fawn Furnace is located, and adjacent lands formerly belonging to Col. C. H Tatum, was sold at a sheriff sale, and bought by H. H. Havron, guardian for the Lind sey heirs, and afterward deeded by him directly to the furnace com pany, as then organized. The right of way for the railroad being deeded to the present company. How G. W. M. Tatum could have conveyed any interest in the land, or givin any re Ruse irom anv obligation Laving r. feion- e thereto we are unable to two, yet if the proof-art put it. • ands 01 a.i; such \ l : n action we wiii be glad to fasten upon Mr Tatum ?h ■ :e --.sponsibiiity of selling for a ;on viet camp in one county. While wo arc neutral a.; b«tv«een all candidate 1 ? running a strict.y honest race, when an imposition or h. falsehood is to bo.idai.-ed. upon any one, wo then fore-. , on? neu tral it; , and get in i< r the . tica tion of the right let it hurt whom it may. Whenever M Tatum .an he implicated by proof in any such a transaction as the above, vn are ready to expose that gen tleman. What we say is not in the interest of a candidate, but in the name of justice. A dERIOIJS ACCIDENT Mr. Bam Allison received inju ries )tsf Saturday in a rather pecu liar accident, and although the in juries are not such as would likely to produce fatal results, yet they are of a mob painful natuae and will coniine him to hie bod for sev eral days. On the day anovo men tioned Mr. Allison was driving some cattle, and it being necessary for him to dismount from hie horse m a de nee wood, his horse became eh tangled in a bush and getting brightened ran against Mr. Allison, knocking him down, trampling upon him, and kicking him and bruising him up consid erably. Three of Ins ribs were broken in addition to other inju ries. He was carried home and Dr Ruesey was sent for, under whose treatment, he now is The many friends of the injured man have for him the warm est sympathy and ho,-e Vue recovery will bo speedy and complete. Mr. Allison announced his aarno as a candidate for C'erk of supo nor Court, which announcement ap peared in oar issue'of last week. LIVES OF THE CANDIDATES- A Timely and Dignified Work by W, U. Hensel and George P. Parker An agreeable variation from the hackneyed nulogiee of campaign literature is furnished in trie “Liven and Public Bov vices of Grover Cleveland and Allen G, Thurman” by William Uhler Heasol, ex Chair man of the Democratic Slate Com mittee ct Pa., and George F. Parker managing editor of the New York Press. From the first •to the last it may truthfully t*e Raid that of fice ha? sought Grover iCieveiacd, at first, indeed, in vain* as when, iu 1867, he declined the U. 8. Aa risting District Attorneyship ior the Northern New York district. But on January 1, 1882, when ho j became Mayor of PorC io, :t was with the approval of. the hugest majority the city had over given. The kind of poi.C a! ‘C,varia bility” which consistsin official in tegrity for which Mr. Cleveland is known. Hie career as Mayor, the acta which have ju&t boon recited and which ch&ract reize the whole of his official life, were of the sort which rendered him "available” for thecaddidacy of Governor. 1882, the year of political change and upheavel, favored the man of destiny. • Of the book before us it may bo said that it is valuable and excel lent work, and in which great com pass and variety have not lead to the sacrifice of literary grace and and interest. It ffs, indeed, almost a library of reference. Bpace for bids any such extended comment upon the excellent review of the life of Allen G Thurman, as has boon given to that of the President In addition to these leading topics will lie found a record of the Deru ocratical National Convention of 1888, including platform fluid reso lutions, a statement of the princi ples of the leaders of Democracy from Washington d wd, the Prem- • dents famous message of Decem ber. 1887, on tar ill reform, the Citizens Hand-book, (a large refer ence in itself) and many portraits. Pp, 587, Cio r h. The work is is sued by the well known house of Hubbard Bros., of Phildelphia, of Chicago, and Kansas City, and is beautifully illustrated. We are not surprised to hear it is having a wonderfully rapid sale through i agents. Here is a chance for euer- j getic young ineu to make mouey, | as every family in the land should J be afforded a chance to procure j remarkable ' interesting and j important work and that right speedily.
