SMYRNA SHOTS

-CoRREcTIoN.-Mr. II. B. Reed inform:
me that the Concord Singing Convention will
hold their next meeting Friday and Saturday
before the first Sunday in September next, a;
Lost Mountain.
Miss Maggie Caldwell of Atlanta is on a
visit to John G. Moores.
ON Thursday If last week considerable
number of the members of Concord Lodge X.
OF D. went TO Ollie's creek picncing They
were met there by some of the members OF
Stonewall Lodge and several young ladies and
gentlemen from the other side of the creek,
We hadplenty ofgooG things to eat and the
boys and girls paired off and went fishing up
and down the creek 1t lis quite amusing to see
ladies fish. When they catch one, they all
scream at the top oftheir voices and if the little
creature is about to get back in the water, they
scream still louder. One young lady caught a
very large sucker but the rest were quite small
Some of the young ladies and gentlemen were
engaged in playing humble peg. 1t was funny
to see fellow roofing the peg out Of the ground
with his nose. Everybody, seemed to enjoy
themselves, and nighlhll found us again in
Smyrna. We expect that day made matr-
monal, match or prepared the way for one to
be made very soon.
Our Sunday School picnic last Saturday
was well attended Most all of Winnings, Con.
cord and Liberty Hill Sunday schools were
present and some from Bald Springs. The ex
srcises were opened with prayer by Rev. j. d
Malone NJ. w. Legg delivered the first
speech and won several compliments. Thomas
F. Jeflries made the second speech. He said
"you have heard it said that people can make a
trip around the world in 50 days, but God has
given us boat (the mnd) and ifyou will go
with me will take you all a trip around the
world in Is mil utes." He done so and his
speech was both Interesting and profitable. The
third and last address was delivered by Rev
John A. Reynolds of Atlanta. He discussed
his subject under three heads, viz The proper
relation of children to food-to fun--and to
faith 1t was an eloquent able and remarkable
speech. Afterwards sumptuous dinner was
spread for all. This afternoon was spent in
playing cloquet, base ball and drilling by the
Mullgan guards. We had guitar music by
Samuel Yarbrough Of Winnings. One of our
cid bachelors seemed to be smitten with a
young lady who suppose was from Mari
eta. We observed present the Chairman of
the Democratic Executive Committee of Cobb

We learn from James G. Lester, Esq OF
Cumming, Forsyth county. that two white men
named respectfully Tumin and Tillerson were
arrested in that place last Tuesday, the former
for attempting to commit a rape upon little
six years old white girl, the daughter of a high
" respectable farmer living in seven miles of
Cumming. These men were passing from Mll
ton to Jackson county and Tuesday morning
about II o'clock they met the little six year old
girl and a younger sister in the public road
about one yaids from her home and Tumlin
deliberately attempted to outrage helpless in
uoceuce. while Tillerson Looked on and refused
t, protect the girl fro III the brutal assault of his
depraved companion, AS soon as the father
of the little girl learned Of the deed, he went IN
pursuit and came up with them in Cumming.
They were arrested and denied guilt but finally
confessed the crime with marked indifference
Justice J. w. James bound them over and they
were committed to Jail. The citizens were
highly indignant and the villains may congrat-
ulate themselves that they escaped lynching.

THE CHANGE IN SOUTH CARROLL
NA.-The Cincinnati Commercial
has correspondent in Columbia, s.
c., the we'll known II. V. Redfeld,
who appears to be watching events
there under Democratic rule. This
veteran Republican reports the State
more quiet and peaceable than he has
known it before since reconstruction.
The Legislature is making thorough
Investigations, and twill find enough
fraud to sicken the nation" What
must be the character and extent Of
rascaities which will make the ma.
ton sick after such experiences as it
had under the late administration |!
One of the illustrative robberies 10
South Carolina was the appropriation
of five thousand dollars for pictures
Of Lincoln and Sumner, which was
drawn from the treasury to build
new house for the chairman appoint
ed to get the paintings. While Mr..
Redfeld finds the Democrats resolved
never to allow the Republicans in
power again, he confesses that this
fierce an'agouism is not without
cause" "The career of the Repub-
lican party here" he says, "has been
a libel upon civilization. Its rule
has been imbecilty and robbery
Offices and public trusts were bought
and sold without shame. The Leg
islature was little less than a den of
thieves" This is the testimony Of
an old~time Republican and John
Brown Abolitionist.

Don't Feed Corn to Your Fowl:

In forty-five out of fifty flocks of
poultry you will find the feeding box
es supplied with Indian corn.
This grain is the lazy mans bless
ing. No work is required in feeding
it out; it keeps clean; the fowls like
it; and nothing is wasted.
Now, for laying hens it is worse
than useless; there is so much fatten-
ing material in its composition, and
so little albuminous. that eggs can
not be manufactured from it. Your
hens will eat it when they will eat
anything, but the only result will be
an increase of fat on their bodies and
decrease of vitality and productive
ness.
The grains which abound in albu-
minoids, only should be fed to poul-
try,
Our experience has been that for
their breakfast a dry dough of shorts
is sufficient-if you have some skim
milk to mix it with. all the better
A good supper of oats and barley
should be kept in the feeding boxes
through the day, and at night feed
of whole wheat should be given them.
Wheat screenings are'not econom-
icical, and the weed seeds they con-
tain are enough to "disqualify" Them
even if they are otherwise desirable.
Many poultry keepers have discover
ed the pernicious effects of corn on
their poultry, and have tried to
change the food, but as the birds
steadily refuse to change their diet
the owners have finally yielded and
acknowledged the corn"
In such cases the only plan is to
starve the fowls into eating some
other food; they will come to terms
when when they get sufficiently hum
CRY, and after they have become ac-
customcd to a less attractive diet they
will improve in every way.
Corn should be fed only in the cold
weather, and then sparingly and for
the last meal Of the day.-MassacAa-
sets Ploughman.

Utilizing a Stuffed Cat.
From the Detroit Free Press.

fEcut tIe IctIOII EFee IESsS.
The other day when Detroit boy
of fourteen bought stuffed cat at
auction the crowd derided him and
had great deal of fun at his expense.
They didn't know that the boy had a
heap of genius and mountain of
bright ideas, and he didn't tell them.
Yesterday morning the lad opened
out in vacant lot on Cass avenue,
having the help of several other gen.
fuses. A clothes line was stretched
from a peg driven at the sidewalk to
fence fifty or sixty feet away, and
not over a foot from the ground. By
means of straps around the body and
two iron rings, with stout fishlinc to
pull on, the cat could be drawn along
the rope like flash and hauled thro'
hole in the fence. When things
were in working order, The stuffed
feline was placed at the stake, the
boys got behind the fence, and the
number of dogs which tried to give
that cat a cold shaking up was almost
beyond count. They strained every
nerve to catch her as she was drawn
along the rope, and as they followed
her through the fence, believing they
had a dead sure thing, two boys or
either side of the hole let fall two
stout clubs with military precision
Each dog seemed to realize the Who'll,
joke in a minute, and the way h,
started for home nearly killed tn

also be opened in day or two. We
hope the old friends of the house will

that it has been unfortunate, and we

duccd to call. Goods will be sold very
low. The very best Of bargains can

This thriving inland city, which
claims to be Ottumwa's closest rival
in the interior Of Iowa, cast l27a
votes for Mayor at their city election
last Monday, whereas Ottumwa cast
the same day 1lSi votes for the same
Office. This would seem to indicate
that we have about 1000 more peo-
pie than they have at Cedar Rapids.

ed there by ll57 to GO, and our friend
Col Leach elected Superior Court
Judge, there being scrub race for

In that city the multiplicity of can
didates brought out a full vote and
adopted the measure, which is a pref
ty good post mortem hint to our at
torneys, who quite likely killed i
here by making it a little too eyclu
sivc an affair.
We say this with due respect to Mr.
Burton, who would have made
good Judge, and for the measure
which we still think would hay'
tended to economy and the facilita
ton Of Justice.
