Our streets wore a pleasing aspect
last Sunday evening, quite a number of
young people being out in twos enjoy
ing the delightful features of an even
ing promenade under a breezy atmos*
plicre.
The little elms the Town Council had
set out on Wall street the spring before
last are now in their beautiful summer
foliage giving attraction to that thor
oughfare, while recent architectural im
provements are beginning to make it
look generally respectable.
Crops all over the county have been
suffering much for want of a good rain.
Some portions of the county have
had slight showers, but a good rain
would be generally welcomed by our
farmiug community.
The following were elected as officers
of llobinson Lodge, I. 0. G. * TANARUS., for
the ensuing quarter, at a regular meet

Remarkable Religion* meeting*.
We don’t know that in the history of
Gordon county there has ever been such
a general religious feeling as
has been witnessed in some revivals re
cently held in the different churches at
and near this place. Rev. A. 0. Thom
as, of the Calhoun Circuit, instituted
the first of this season’s meetings in the
Methodist Church in this place on the
first Sunday in May, and his assiduous
efforts were crowned with golden laurels
in the conversion of score* of the worst
sinners; and after the meeting had
been carried to the Baptist Church the
firo was not extinguished, but a contin
uous blessing rested upon the work to
its close. As the fruits of this meeting
more than one hundred and twenty-five
industrious members were added to the
churches, our Sabbath Schools increased
nearly one hundred per cent,, a young
men’s prayer meeting grew up and flour
ished, and piety and morality have been
noticed to an inCrea k sed degree. Among
other of Mr. Thomas’ meetings may be
mentioned the one at Poplar Springs,
m Bartow county, where there were
thirty or more conversions. The quar
terly meeting held at Mount Pleasant,
Mother of his churches, in the upper
P a rt of the county, on Sunday the 25th
July, and protracted through last
"eek, was blest with a gracious out
pouring of the Spirit, there being in
-he one week near forty conversions.—
-Another of the most interesting meet
in o 8 waa held for one week in Black*
Spring Baptist Church, closing
'unday night. The meeting was
Revs. Tatum and Blau*
w h° baptized over forty into the
I llc h during the week. Besides these,
- I(j re are two meetings just commenced
umler fine prospects —one being at Mr.
lord’s Church, near McDaniel’s Mill,
ahJ the other in the Methodist Church
!? 1 u s ar V alley. The ministers all la-

Sunday School Convocation at
Rush’s Chapel.
PlalnVille, Ga., July 31, 1875.
Mr. Editor: This morning open
bright and clear, the dense clouds that
darkened the horizon yesterday evening
having all disappeared, we mounted our
buggy en route for Rush’s Chapel. This
church is situated in the centre of Ridge
Valley, about nine miles above Rome.
We arrived aftei a pleasant drive of
two hours, at our destination, where we
found a large concourse of people, some
of the best of the country having come
in their carriages and buggies for miles
around to attend the Sunday School
Convocation.
On entering the church, which was a
large one, we found it full to its utmost
capacity with blight-faced little boys
and girls representing some half a doz
en schools, or more, all wearing the
badge of their respective schools.
Rev. David Weems, pastor in charge
of the circuit, acted as chairman of the
meeting. The services were opened by
singing, after which Rev. Mr. Oliver
was introduced. He read a passage of
Scripture and commented briefly on it.
Pointing to the banner that waved in
centre of the church, on which was in
scribed the words, “Feed my lambs,”
remarked that our Savior in saying to
Peter, “Feed my sheep,” had made that
a direct test of his love.
After prayer and another song by the
children, Rev. J. 11. McCool delivered
a short address on music, portraying in
beautiful language its importance in
the worship of God, and relating in
stances of the sweet songs of Zion hav
ing; carried conviction to the hearts of
sinners without the presence of a
preacher at all. His address showed
that he had given the subject deep
thought, and if he had had time, only
ten minntes being allowed to each speak
er, he would have made a masterly ef
fort. We were next entertained by ap
propriate addresses by Messrs. M. L.
Troutman,ll. C. Pope and Wm. Barney.
Rev. Mr. Clements had prepared a
lengthy address, but in consequence of
the time being limited had to condense it
very much. The congregation was now
dismissed until two o’clock, when all
repaired to the cool grove around the
church, ajid partook heartily of a has*
ket dinner. After dinner addresses
were delivered by the Rev. gentlemen :
William Hickey, Mr. Wateis and Ru
fus Hickey. Without any disarrange
ment, of those who preceded him, the
last speaker made the crowning effort of
the day. It was well worth our ride to
hear his speech alone. By his eloquence
and pathos he frequently caused the
eyes of bis hearer to moisten percepti
bly.
Mr. Editor,you doubtless would have
had a much more interesting and cor
rect account of the proceedings had it
not been that a pair of black eyes beam
ing from a pew near your repopter had
the effect of charming him ; and in try
ing to steal a furtive glance occasional
ly, without gazing too boldly, his mind
was considerably diverted from the pro
ceedings of the day.
The day certainly passed off very
pleasantly and profitably to all present,
and we hope we may witness many
more such occasions. J.
The Constitution on a Spread.
—Since we have become acquainted
with their enterprise generally, we are
not at all startled at witnessing any new
feature these fellows may get up. The
Atlanta Constitution came to us Satur
day a mammoth paper, containing forty
long columns, which, besides the accus
tomed amount of reading matter
were filled with a lengthy review
of leading business enterprises of the
Gate City. A great amount of Atlan
ta’s prospericy is due to its being one
of the best advertised cities in the
South, and so long as her excellent
journals bring her many good features
to notice, she will continue to make her
mark. She is now a small whale.
J. W. Swain and W. S. Walker are
delegates to represent Gordon County
Agricultural Society in the State Agri
cultural Convention, which meets in
Dalton next Tuesday.
ADAIRS VILLE.
Mr. Editor: The past week has
been uncommonly dull in the way of
news. Several of our townsmen spent
the week at Cartersville attending C iurt,
returning home on Friday evening, hav
ing beeu released from further duty on
the jury. They seemed as happy as
uncaged birds.
The dance given by E. 11. Lowraan,
of the Central Hotel, on last Thursday
evening, was quite an enjoyable affair,
notwithstanding the oppressive heat.
Every one that participated in the dance
seemed to enjoy themselves well. We
were glad to welcome so many smiling
faces from Rome. I have on several
occasions heard our Times Editor speak
of the Rome beauties, and I begin to
think he knows something about beauty.
Can’t we have another party soon ?
Several refreshing showers of rain
during the past week have done great
good to the growing crops, although
one farmer in the vicinity did not seem
to appreciate quite so much wind and
hail, as the former did great damage to
his ccrn crop.
The Cumberland Presbyterians began
their meeting on Saturday, and will con

UAUTKBNVILLE.
On the night of the 28th a burglar
entered the sleeping apartment of R.
W. Satterfield, and cabbaged his vest
and parts which contained his store and
safe keys, and a gold watch worth one
hundred and twenty dollars. Mr. Sat
terfield is one of our largest dry goods
merchants, and had a good deal of mon
ey in his safe, but the thief did not en
ter it. Mr. Satterfield*had to cut into
his safe, aud to his happy surpsise
found his money all right. We have
a good crop of burglars on hand and
would like to dispose of a few of them >
even if it had to be done at the end of
the rope.
Court is still going on.
- Our crops are now beginning to need
rain.
A protracted meeting is now in pro
gress at the Baptist Church ; we trust
much good may be done
Business is getting better in our city,
and our merchants are looking more
cheerfuh
Schools are opening up again.
Mr. Samuel Galaway and Miss Char
