At Dalton Jan. lst 1854.

There are many men in Giles
county, readers of the CITIZEN, who
wildly remember the blizzard on
Dee. 31st 1863, and Jan. 1st, 1864
The present cold spell is reminder
of that terrible spell. The Confed-
crate army was In quarters at Dial
ton somewhat comfortable. The
writer of this, in company with
some 30 others of Browns brigade,
was detailed to go to Tilton, nino
miles from Dalton, to repair a saw
mill and build some bridges. We
walked in the rain and snow all the
forenoon of the 3Ist, making only
about two miles an hour-mud and
water two feet deep in the load and
all the little streams swollen, which
we had to wade. Just before night
fall we reached some cabins by the
roadside in which we camped for
the night, and just as we got in
quarters the snow began falling in
Dakota style, the wind blowing from
the north in a perfect gale. By |
keeping up huge fires all night we
managed to keep from freezing, but
many smen were trost-bitten and |
suffering. When new years day
came the cold was intense. A citi-
zen Of the village of Tilton told the
writer that it was the coolest day
ever seen in the state of Georgia.
The stream that runs by Tilton was
frozen dry. Our saw mill was
ruined, the pipes all burst and the
boiler rendered useless. We went
to the woods to get logs but it was
so intensely cold that we could not
work, but built log heaps and how
cred around them. On that night
the citizens were kind enough 10 let
us sleep in their houses, or we
would have frozen. On the same
day Browns brigade broke camps
and were ordered out to work the
road, and after marching out sever
al miles went into bivouac, and they
only kept from freezing by
building up logs heaps in squares
and sleeping, or trying to sleep, in
between the fires, some watching
the fire while others rested. Mules
froze to death standing up tied to
the wagons, and many of the men
were.sseverely frost-bitten.
The clothing of the army then
was thin cotton underwear and
thin cotton jeans roundabout and
pants, cotton socks and scarcely
any shoes. Taking this cold spell
we cannot see how they stood it.
1t was the manly spirit in them
that carried them through. A we'll
known cashier of one ef our banks
burned his boots eff trying to warm
his feet and it is said that the only
,ussin' hesever did was::this winter.
To the living who were with us
5hen, the writer bids a happy new
year; and to the dead-may the
Great Spirit be kind to them in
eternity, for he who without pay or
nope of reward gives his life for his
country the gods will reward. s

Neither One Was the One She Was.

The following true incident illus
trates the unmistakeable unreality
of the ideal as applied to the uni
IDENTICAL whichness of the unex-
pected:
Mr.. Watkins lived in Pulaski
with his wife before the war and he
came back on a visit recently with
another wife. DR.. William lived
here also with his wife before the
war, and still resides here, but with
another wife. OF course these are
assumed names. Mr.. Watkins put
up with his friend Mr.. Wood, and
in day or so Mrs. William called
on Mrs. Watkins. Mrs. Watkins
before she went in the parlor said
to Mrs. Wood:
"She's mistaken; she'll expect to
see the Mrs. Watkins she used to
know. Please go in and tell her
that if she is expecting to see the
Mrs. Watkins she expected to see
that you expect she'll be disap-
pointed In her expections."
Mrs. Wood went in and delivered
the information in due time, and
Mrs. William at once sent word
back:
"Tell Mrs. Watkins that this is
not the Mrs. William that was ex-
pecting to see the other Mrs. Wat
kins either"
And thus it appeared that nei-
Their one was the other nor the one
expected to be somebody else.
When they met the righteousness Of
the affair convulsed them all.

Death of Mrs. sherrell.

After lingering illness of puer-
peral fever, Mrs. Sallie V, Sherrell,
wife of Mr.. E. NJ. Sherrell, died at the
family residence on lst street last
Saturday morning at S:I5 o'clock,
aged % years. Hers was Pecu-
liarly sad death. She was. the only
daughter of widowed mother and
was her idol, a young wife and
leaves motherless infant. In the
fultnes of health and with bright
hopes of living and much to live tor,
her death seems unusually untime-
ly. The young husband and the
broken hearted mother have the
tenderest sympathy of the comnu-
nity.

is striving to do our farming inter

There are no other men who pay SO

ry. Giles farmers ought to give
this association a universal, liberal,
enthusiastic support. Come next

THEELEoTIoN.
A Bitter Gold Day and Almost Full Vote
Last Saturday.

Interest was wrought to highest
pitch last Saturday over the mar
shalrs election. 1t was understood
that one board of aldermen was for
free schools and the other opposed.
though that Occasioned very little
interest, and it was generally conce-
ded that the election of the school
board was foregone. The new can
didate for mayor, Mr.. Boyd, was
not known to half the voters and
hence his vote was small. Mr..
declined to run last
Thursday. In the marshalrs cleo
tion as soon as it was seen that the
contest was between Pinkerton and
the friends of the other
candidates began to desert the hope
less fortunes of their men and take
sides with the two foremost men.
The following is the vote.

rELEPHoNEp YESTERDAY.

TELEPHONED YESTERDAY.
Our denizens were frightened
nearly out of their overshoes at a
supposed earthquake that jostled
things up last Sunday. We we're
relieved when the boys passed with
the inamimate form of Mr.. w. S.
McLaurine and reported that he
had set down both ends at once on
2. +. Hollon's ice pond with a dull
thud. He seemed to be going some
where. The pond is 200 feet across
and he went the whole distance
with al impetus that carried him
so yards out over the cruel frozen
ground. His Sunday paAts were
a sad wreck.
We are having delightful
weather. At least, so says Com
fort Watson, who came down this
morning with a linen suit, picnic
gloves and duck-legged socks.
There was a report Of an as
Segment this week but we believe
the difficulty is frozen over. Mr..
COwron Smith furnished the 40
cents that brIdged the break.
The boys had sham fight last
night and j. @. King is missing.
The police in Pulaski are warned to
look out.
Mrs. Mary Alternately of Blu
fords returned to-day after a pleas
ant visit to Mrs. j. G. King.
Miss Beulah Davis is visiting
Fayetteville at Mr.. Thornton's.
j. w. Davis undertook to give
his mare a skating lesson yester-
day but she declined the instruc-
lion and lay down to wait for him
70 recover consciousness.

The School Tax Sustained.

The supreme court last Saturday,
Judge Cooper delivering the opin-
ion, sustained the judgment of the
chancellor in the case of VIM. F.
Ballentine, ct al VS.. Mayor and AL
dermen of Pulaski, known as the
school bill. The mayor and alder
men, the reader remen bers, under
the act of 1885, levied a tax FOR the
support of a system of graded pub-
lie schools, the collection of the tax
was enjoined by w. F. Ballentine
and others, demurrer filed to the
bill and sustained by the chancellor.
The supreme court aftirms the chan
cellor's decree except as to the poll
tax, which it says cannot be collect
ed twice for the same purpose, the
poll-tax already going into the pub
lie school fund. The question was
ably argued, going deep Int consti-
tutional questions not necessary
here to recapitulate. 1t sustains
fully the power of the board to es-
tablish schools as proposed. The
board is at liberty to perfect its
plans if it desires, and the new
board being elected on that basis,
we suppose they will 60 right into
the matter at once.

FOR MAYOR.

N' ~ 4OWuSouu Dig DAHL DuTu6ut
About noon Tuesday the quiet OF
the town was changed suddenly to
excitement and confusion by the
Omineus cry of Fire" Persons on
the square could only see dense
cloud of black smoke ascending
near the gas works. Almost in a
moment after the alarm several hun
bred people had reached the south
east, corner Of the square where
they could see the flames bursting
through the roof of Mr.. Town
sends big barn, stable and cattle
shed. The building was a large
one, made entirely of wood and
contained several tons of dry hay,
besides a quantity of fodder, shucks,
corn and other light and infamma-
Bile stuff, which of course carried
the flames with lightning rapidity
to every part of the main building.
Mr.. Arch Notgrass was one of the
first to discover the fire, and know
ing that a large number eff cattle
were kept in the building, hurried
to their rescue. He succeeded in
cutting their rope halters, and
nearly all dashed out uninjured.
One or two were burned to death
and the last two that escaped pre-
sented pitiable spectacle, the
hair of their heads and backs being
an ugly charred mass, with red
spots here and there, where flakes
of hide had either dropped off from
intense heat or been knocked off in
the desperate scramble to escape.
The heat vas intense and the fire
was soon communicated to the
small residence next south of the
stable, owned and occupied by
Richard Paine, cold. Several
small dwelling houses were situa-
ted dangerously near the building
on all sides and were only saved by
desperate work. The stable. was in
sured for $3.50 and the hay, ETC.,
burned, amounting to about $500,
was uninsured. The building was
a dangerous fire-trap and had it
burned on a windy night would al
most inevitable have burned the
gas works and several small resi-
dences and might easily have
reached the business part of the
city.

The appropriations made at the
last term Of the quarterly court
amounted to $2903 90. The only
expenditures for public works were
$685. to repair the Elkton bridge,
$48 to repair the bridge over Weak

bridge. The circuit court costs
amounted to $921.75 and the jail
expenses we're 1855. So. Outside OF
$1,000 given to the poor house, and
the salaries of officers and the ex
penses Of the court, little else was
spent. The chairman's report pub
