The Reunion at Sandy Springs of course
brought up sad memories of the long ago,
bat present epjoyments and the many
bright faces and the "reminiscences of that
which was good, and-oh, yes, politics,
seemed to prevent anything save mo-
mentary gloom from entering camp.
The Bruno political meeting was sue.
cess, and If the gentlemen feel proud in
giving the ladies pleasure at seeing nice
behavior and good conduct, and in honor
ING their fellowman, they should, indeed,
feel themselves acquitted. Bruno is as
large place as most any city. OF course
there are not as many people, nor as many
houses, nor no large water courses, or
fireworks, &C., but the place itself is a
whale, and it is pretty and level and sandy
and plenty of grand old oaks to shade the
future city. M1NNEHAHA.
The Church at this place has just closed
an interesting meeting Of eight days
length, which brought in six new mem

us.
We had a pleasant club meeting at San

Rev. Mr.. Odell is conducting meeting
this week in the Sandy Springs church.
The candidates were greeted by good
audience at Five Forks last Wednesday.
Several speeches were made. Josh open
ed and Norris closed the speaking. Some
the crowd had dinner with them, but
some who were not 80 fortunate went
home hungry. All ofthe candidates will
not be elected, but it will not be their
fault, for they are all working hard:
Hon. John Bolton Watson told the crowd
to mind how they voted. Belt. need not
mind. We will let him stay at homo and
look after his family, creditors, etc: Mr..
Latimer was not present, but he isjust as
sure to be elected if-Mr. Johnstone dies
and no one else comes out for Congress.
Our crops are needing rain, and many
of our people are very despondent. Let
them put their trust in God, He will dot
what Is best.
