The Marietta Journal June 28, 1894
POWDER SPRINGS

One of the twin babies of W M McTYRE near here died and was buried here last week.

The famous belled buzzard was seen near here last week feasting upon the carcass
of a hog.  Mr William HILL Jr heard the bell a half a mile away and thought that
cows were in his crop and went to investigate.  He was completely non-plused
when he found no cows and no signs where any had been.  He went back to the
house and in a short time was more astounded to hear the bell again in the
direction of his corn field.  He went back to the field quietly and found the
old buzzard tugging away at a dead hog, making as much noise as an old belled cow.

Tuesday morning a little daughter of Mr James ALLEY while playing about
Florence's mill on Sweetwater got caught in the running gear of the mill and
narrowly escaped being killed.  One leg was broken and her body was otherwise
frightfully bruised.  She was doing very well when last heard from.

Candidate AWTREY from Acworth was down to see us last week, shaking hands with
an unusually hard grip.  He made quite a good impression.

Dr COOPER from Fort Worth, Texas, spent a few days last week with his aunt, Mrs
Lizzie COOPER, near here.

Mrs Dr Chas A BUTNER of Jackson and her little son, Master Harry, are visiting
the family of Mr J C BUTNER this week.

A Mr MATHIS from Newnan is here visiting his aunt, Mrs J B BENNETT.

Don't forget the picnic next Saturday at this place.  The boys say for everybody
to come.

Rev Mr SMITH and family are here visiting his brother-in-law, Rev Mr WINTER.  Mr
SMITH is an evangelist and came from Eastman to this place.
