in Georgia.

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.

Oartecaj Gold Mine.
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.

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.
