Bring them along. —W. ft. Coleman, of the Courier, will ■visit the commencement exercises of the N. 0. A. College. Our tanners are a little behind with their crops, but the pretty weather of the last few clays enabled most of them to get up with their work. —An article or two from correspond ents, and an obituary of Mr. W. A. Ran dell are crowded out for lack of space, but will appear in next issue, —Key. R. 11. Robb, on a visit to Ten nessee, attended the dedication of the M. £. church at Clmttauooga. It is a very fine building, costing about $46,000. —The new mail coach on the M. & N. G. Railroad came up, for the first time, last Monday. It is a beauty, and will com pare with the coaches on any of our roads. —Mr. J. A. Smith, agent for the world lenowned Frick Company, was in town last Friday. lie i6 a live, energetic young man and has been successful in a trip to the ouuntains. Mr. W. It. Alien, of Bartow county, delivered a very interesting address at the Seminary last Fiiday evening on the sub ject of prohibition. We are sorry that it was not more generally known. Ellijay is the banner town in Georgia for check and croquet players, as nearly all play. It is the pride of the urchin, the ambitiou of the middle aged, and the joy of the aged yeterans—all claiming excel sior. —Our old ftiend and acquaintance, Mr. John Beck, made Ellijay a short visit Fri day evening. Mr. Beck is store keeper at the Teetn’s distillery, and is liked very much for his business qualities by all who know hint. —The junior hereof is just in receipt of a beautiful and artistically designed invi tation to the commencement of Mary ttharp College.

It aB a very en joyable occasion. Some passed their time in various amusements, while others with fantastic foot chased the halcyon hours away. — l The walls of Mr. Bishop’s new brick store are finished; and it will soon be covered a> and prepared for use, It is a nice building and will add much to the appear ance of that part of town. This is a right step in the right way. Let some more ot our enterprising people follow the exam ple of Mr Bishop. Any person wishing to purchase sueh machinery as syrup mills, saw mills, vi brating threshers, separators, steam engines mounted or standing, can get a bargain by calling at the Courier office and examin ing the different styles for sale. We are agents for the world renowned Frick com pany. whose machines are known all over the uuion as being the best in the market. Call and see us befoie you purchase, —Rev. R. H. Robb has beeu attending the commencemen exercises of the E. T. W. University. This Institution is situ ated m a very beautiful aud wealthy sec tion of Tennessee, and the recent building improvements have added much to the suc cess of this noted Institution. The com mencement sermon was preached by Bishop Walden. The exercises of the lit erary societies, the speaking and recitations were excellent. The senior class numbers thirteen; and Miss Lizzie J. McMahan, for the first time in the history of the institu tion, carried off the first honor. Mr. Bramlctt, who is well known to the citi zens of this place, acquitted himself with honor. Gartecay Scribblings. , Summer has come in earnest. Mr. J. C. Pellit lias lettuce heads fifteen inches in diameter. Mr. I. N. Walker has a brood of yonng wild turkeys. Heavy rain again last Saturday. The Messrs. Odem & Wood practical gold miners, who have been working lor 6umetime on the Leak property, have discover ed probably the richest gold vein in Georgia. One p<und of the ore beat ten up and washed out produced ten pennyweights and eleven grams ofcoid. A number of prommei citizens, who have v.siied the mines, sav that ii would be diffi cult io describe it greater than and is as the gold can be seen gliiiei iig In the"rocks a distance oi fif teen feet. Mrs Smlinger Says: Thai Lester Stui'b walk* just like lie Ual swallowed the ram rod. I'liat she recently overheard a beautiful young lady compli menting “Mr. Colonel Sessions.” That if she were a bettin’ man she and bet 30 cents that she could beat Land Lord Hightower a play in coqaent. That her head is while with the frosts ol ntsny winters, and she neqer heard as many locust bugs in all her “boru davs.” That she wants Elgals and Lcribbler to slmc their mouths about our friend Collin Smith and let him go to Scroiigetown if he wants to, unmolested. That she wishes the new Edit ors abundant success, and that subscribers may pour in from eyerv conceivable quarter until ibe Courier will be equalled by few, and excelled by uo weely pfper in the stale. That she dislikes to own that there is anything she does not know, but for the life her, she can’t tell what makes Prof. Per ry look so smiley here of late. That times and cuslomes and everything else have changed from what they were in the days of her raisin’: the girls used to when they’d meet, they’d howdy like sensible folks,but now the old lime howdy lias given place to kisses, and she’d be glad to see ’em quit that abominable kissin’ business and howdy and goodbye as in day 6 of yore. That site will be glad when the time comes that Gilmer will get to vote for prohibition, (hat it has been her good fortune to visit one or two counties where the sale of liquor is prohibited, and she found that grogshops are numbered with the past, drutik eness and crimes are rapidly de creasing, peace and goo.l order reign supreme, and just so will it be iu Gilmer when she votes for prohibition. Georgia Mica. We had the pleasure ot meeting Maj. P. F. Crook from near Nox ville, Tenn. He is on his way to Fa mini county where lie expects to develop a rich mica mine on the While properly on Rock Creek. From his account of I lie mine, we have no doubt bill (hat it will prove to be an extra fine mate rial, and will yield a handsome dividend on the money invested. He thinks we have untold mill ions ol wealth lying buried in our hills Maj. Crook lives in the marble belt of east Tennessee, and lias traveled over the iron section of that state; and he says no where has he found so fine mar ble, iron, mica and oilier minerals as lie finds in North Georgia. He says also that tin’s is (lie finest tim bered country in the world. The timber of the mountain section through which the Cincinnati Southern railroad runs,has proven to be a source of great wealth, and Northern capitalists have made fortunes on lumber, staves and tanbaik; but the mountains of north Georgia far excell east Ten nessee for variety, and healthy, vigorous growth. The durability ot our mountain timber is plainly demonstrated by the wagons our people use. They are exposed to the rain and run almost inces sently, but they seldom break or wear eut. We have always believed this to be a healthy, rich and desirable section, if it could be properly developed; and the Marietta & North Georgia Railroad, the tiling for which our people have been Imping and praying for several years, has at last pushed its way up, and is showing the outside world what we have. We wel come su h enterprising aud bus iness men as Maj. Crook; and we hope and expect his example will be followed by other capiialists. r ■% l eaa bo made TUfiISOH'S MAPS & GHAUTS For 36 page catalogue, free, address, 11. C. TI'MSOV. Cincinnati, 0., N.

Stand around the above named properly baa been a acene of ex citement for tereral day* past. Tnree experienced miners, taro by the name of Olein and one by the name of Wood of Lumpkin county, have discovered tbs long talked of gold vein. We think that the most doubtful would be made to believe if theycould only seethe specimens that were ex. hibited to us yesterday at the I mine. We were shown eleven pennyweights ol gold that we e btaiucd by healing about one pound of the rock. We saw on* rock that weighed about fifty pounds that was estimated to be worth at least one bundled dol lars* U almost glistened, being so completely covered with the precious metal. Any one can stand on the pit over the vein and see the gold shining in the rocks at a distance ol ten feet. This is no hearsay nor exageratinn, but are plain facts that any one can see by going to the miues. Something valuable has certainly been discovered. This is an old mine, one that has been worked for about forty years as a surface mine and found in various places to be very rich. It was first owned and worked by a man by the name of Nicholson. After making a vast quantity of gold he sold to a Mr. Leak who resides in Bartow county and is the pres ent owner of the properly. Mr_ Leak lias spent no little lime and money in lesting and hunting for the vein, but was unsuccessful and abandoned it a few years ago, since winch time a great worked the deposits very successfully. At various times during the last lorty years this gold injiie bas been a scene of much sensation. Men who claimed to be experts have tested tiie property, repoited discoveries and caused some of the citizens who owned adjoining land to clad themselves in their best costumes talk and feel like they were rich. Always after a lime the excite ment would subside, Hie citizens disrobe themselves, fall back to their respective vocations to a wait the appearance of another expert. Last 'March the men whom we hayo already men tioned, commenced operation on the mine. They are indeed ex perienced miners, and have been working at the business every since they were boys. It is said of them that their mother at one time worked in the mines and made money. We never heard them say so but learned it Irora a reliable source. We hope that this discovery will coulintie good and believe that it will. It will undoubtedly be a great advant age to the country. Elqals. Tiokanet'ey. Locusts till you can’t rest. Come right here, Bud, and sit down by me. We heard an excellent sermon preached at Mt. Pisgah, last Sat urday, by Rev. James K. Garrett. Messrs. Elgals and Clayton must excuse as for getting out of soap, for it is very confining to a person to stand behind the counter and hold a yardstick in one hand and point it at a girl on the opposite side, whose name might be Anna. We are gratified to hear of W. S. C’s. retirement from the cab bage seed agency, for we think lie has fallen on the right plan of informing the people through the columns of the Courier as he did at the close of his bible agency. We would like to have him ap point us his reporter during his hunting; but we fear he will be like a wolf, go out of bis own settlement into Amicolola. Cottoneyed Job.
