TALLAPOOSA.
We visited Tallapoosa last Saturday
foi the first time in some months. We
were agreeably and wonderfully surprised
at the improvements that have taken
place there since our last visit.
The Spring Park Hotel and the graded
street and street car lines leading to this
hotel were first to attract our attention.
'Phis hotel is nearing completion, and is
a magnificent building. But as we en
tured the business portions of the town,
we only found this grand hotel, graded
streets and car lines in keeping with the
rapid strides of this progressive little city,
As a manufacturing town, Tallapoosa
is bound to be the Low oil of Georgia $t
least; and the center of a great traffic bus¬
iness. She has already commenced to
.whip iron to Michigan City, Inch, Chicago,
Ill., and other large cities. It is simply
astonishing to see so many
iug establishments of such immense pro
portions going up at this place. Tell us
such things are only temporary? Away
with such talk. Go and see for yourself,
and be convinced that it all means busi¬
ness, and that upon such a foundation it
is possible to build a city. Why not have a
little city, or a big city as to that, built
viglit here m our own Haralson county!
.Should other towns envy Tallapoosa? Is
she nota Haralson county town? j
Tallapoosa, in a nutshell is, electric |
lights, graded streets, street ear lines, j
waterworks, public schools, good church- raann-!
cs, magnificent hotels, extensive
factories, and an enterprising and bnsi-,
ncss citizenship pulling together for their
mutual interest.
DEATH.
In the bright morning of girlhood,—
aged 14 years and 10 months—Miss Katie j
Jane Latham, died of Typhoid fever at i
her homo' in Buchanan, Ga., on Aug. 20
ult.
“The cold hand of death has unlocked
for her the portals of eternal life,” and the
Master has chosen our precious jewel to ■
fill a place in His casket.
Katie was a sweet, loving and obedient
child. What more could be said iu praise
of the young life that has fled!
Grand parents, parents, brothers, sis¬
ters and schoolmates in, mourning for
Katie have the consolation that her pure
and loving soul is evermore safe from the
storms and temptations ot life.
A loving sister, a kind and pleasant
schoolmate and diligent pupil lias gone to
a brighter reward than earth can supply.
The. family tenders Rev. Mr. Hollis and
Dr. Hutcheson their most sincere thanks
for services rendered during Katie’s ill¬
ness and at her death.
The blow seems to fall doubly hard,
coining as it did so soon after her return
home. She had been for the past year
. with her aunt and grand parents in Con¬
yers, Ga., attending school and after a
pleasant visit to relatives and friends in
Atlanta, left them in the richest bloom of
health.
A few short weeks within the homc
circle and sweet Katie passed through the |
dark valley of the shadow into the light of
Eternity.
I lovely bud too fair for earth,
Transplanted in a home ab uve;
Exquisite life so short and dear,
Forever rest in God’s own love.

Mu. Emtoii:— This is my first attempt
to try to write a letter for your valuable
paper. 1 like to read it so well, thought I
would help it all 1 could. It’s the most
interesting paper I ever read.
Crops are the best you ever saw. The
people are done pulling fodder and are
j is picking bringing cotton ten to boat cents the in world. Attalla Cotton and
twelve in Gadsden. Very good for the
first, but I am afraid that there will be a
plenty sold at seven cents, and I tell you
the fanners had better quit raising cotton
and raise more corn. Farmers, raise
more corn and hogs and let cotton alone,
Mr. Editor, we had the best and most
interesting Alliance speeches delivered
hist Thursday night at what is known as
the Jordon school house 1 ever heard by
Mi’. Bloodsnw and Mr. McEbee. I never
had the opportunity of hearing an Alii -
[ ance speech before, but I tell you they
j did extremely well. The Alliance is very
strong out here. lam notamember, but
my father is. The Farmers’ Alliance is a
good thing if they carry it through and
don’t break. Though if they fail, take
care then.
Some few cases of fever here.
Not very many marriages—only one to
1 . e p or t. Mr. Tabe Waid and Miss Annie
Harris were united together the 51st of
August. Much joy and a long life to the
happy couple,
Mr-. Editor, recon what has
corao of Oscar Wild? That wild team
must have killed him this time sure
enough. Ah, I guess lie is studdy
ing about his best girl who went back on
him. Oscar, come again. There are
more gir’s in tho world than one. You i
are in no worse fix than I. My fellow lias |
S ons back on me, but let s not give up.
I Would like for more of the Georgia
friends to write for the Bakneu-Mkssbn
geu, for there is nothing more interest¬
ing to me than to get the paper and to
read the news from Georgia.
Success to the Bannfii-Messkngeb,

TEMPLE.
I desire to report the result of four
meetings held in Carroll and Haralson
counties during the month of August.
The members were greatly revived and
the unconverted made to feel a great in¬
terest in the salvation of their souls.
Rev. M. F. Waddell, pastor of Abi¬
lene chnreli, Carroll county, closed a
meeting of eight days. There were six¬
teen by baptism, restored two, received
by letter three. He went from there to
Mt. Olive and preached eight days and
nights, receiving four by baptism, re¬
stored one and received two by letter,
and the church was greatly revived.
Next to Corinth. Received seven by bnp
tism and five by letter. From there to
Drakotown meeting of five clays; receiv
ing two by baptism. Bacjc to Abilene
q rs j y lln( j a y in Sept, and received three"
by baptism and tw0 by letter. Rev. M.
F. Waddell, pastor of the above churches.

Erysi pelas.—I. L. Irvin, of Tliomasville,
Ga., says he was afflicted -with with Ery¬
sipelas for ten years and was only cured
when P. P. P. was used.
Randall Pope, the retired druggist of
Madison, Fla., says P. P. P. is tho best al¬
terative in the market, and he has lian
died and sold all the sarsaparillas and
qlood medicines that were advertised.
IN KKI’T.V TO "X»
I see that “X” lias discharged his other
barrel, and I suppose hit the “bull’s eye,”
I as he may think. .
Now, as to certain members of the
| school board being guilty of “malprac
j tice,” 1 will leave for a disinterested pub
lie to decide, This man X is as well pos
jted on this school question as I am and
j better. I am satisfied the question is de
batable, and has two sides to it, and if
Tallapoosa was the only town in the conn
ty that held long terra schools and all the
rest of the county, was rural districts,
then X would be right. But such is not
the ease. The proposed bill is to pay
Tallapoosa on the basis of population and
| the balance of the county on average at
tendance, which would operate against
Tallapoosa in favor of other towns where
they have long term schools.
Will illustrate the matter this way:
Say the school population of eutirc coun¬
ty is 4000 children, and that Tallapoosa
has S00 of them. Say there are four oth
i or towns in tho county with a population
of 200 each, making 800 more, and the
other 2400 live in the rural districts, and,
for illustration, we will say the school
fund is 85000, that would be $1.25 per |
capita. The proposed bill would fix Tal¬
lapoosa’s share of the fund at $1000, which
would leave $4000 for those other four
towns and the rural districts, Well, we
will say, for illustration, they all go to
school in the towns, and in the rural dis
triets two-thirds of them, whiqh is 1000,
go half tho time. 800 children, which
live in these four towns and going to
school all the time for five months, which
the public provides for, would receive as
much as 1000 going 2 1-2 months or
half the time. That would give tho foui
towns outside of Tallapoosa that have a j
long term school $2000 or $2.50 per capi¬
ta, provided they all receive instructions
from teachers getting the same pay.
The towns have teachers holding a high¬
er grade license, which gives them still
a larger per cent, of the funds, and I will
say right here, that I am opposed to this
grading of teachers that gives one com¬
munity more of the public funds than an
other, according to average attendance.
Now, whatT have done in the matter
has been in good faith ancl not ■•malprac¬
tice.” Though X may think to the con
trary, and so far as being a member of
the school board is concerned, the grand
jury recommended the appointment ur
solicited by me. I know there are men
more competent for tho position than
myself, and I am willing to have-it, but I
haveootcommited a single act since I
have been a member of the board that
would justify X or any other man to say
that I was guilty of “malpractice.”

L ttle Girl’s Experience In a Lighthouse
Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keep¬
ers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand
Beach, Mich., and are blesssed with a
daughter, four years old. Last April
she was taken down with Measles, fol¬
lowed with a dreadful Cough turning into
a Fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit
treated her, but in vain, she grew worse
rapidly, until she was a mere handful of
bones.—Then she tried Dr. King's New
Discovery and after tho use of two and a
half bottles, was completely cured. They
say Dr. King’s New Discovery is worth
its weight in gold, yet you may get a ti ial
bottle free at Neill & Alraon’s drugstore.

Gkxtlemen—I had Rluunatism for
over six years, and last May was taken
dovui and confined to my bed. My legs
and feet were badly swollen ancl tbe color
of a red apple, and I was in a fearful
condition. I heard of P. P. P. (Prickly
Ash, Pook Root and Potassium), and af¬
ter seeing vvliat the ingredients were—as
the formula on the bottle—I conduce! hot-j to |
try it, and after taking three small
ties was able to go down town and .Rend I
to my business, and 1 must say that I fed j
like another man. Am now taking the
large size,-and to-day I believe that I will
soon be as likely as any man of sixty-one
I years of age can expect to be.
