Official Oku vx or Pickkxs Cos A PLEA FOR ELUJA T. A town wil! not, within itself prosper or build up. Ttie secret of every town's prosp.r.iy lies in the progressiveness ami public spirit of its citizens. Wlial make* Atlanta what she is, the most thorjughlj enterprising town, the town of push and business of Georgia? It is because her citi zens are public-spirited, ami art willing to spend their money fm the upbuilding of their city. Jus’ so it must be with K'lijay or any other town, ilere the railroad lias been with us for oyer two years, and no lucre ise or impiove ment worthy ol mention, com pared with what should have be>-i. the result. We can't expect a towu to spontaneously spring U]; they are not built that way. i we ever expect to have a town o any sifd we must offer people at a distance some imlu ements, 01 those seeking homes will pass on iu search of other places where terms more reasonablo can be ob tained. What is wanted is, that our real estate men sltould put on the market their land, and do all they can lo induce people to set tle among as. We want Ellijay to build up, to Increase her population and ex tend her borders. We want lo see her now worthless and vacant lots filled up with handsome res idences and cottages, and business establishments. We want a town worthy of old Gilmer's resources, and one of which North (Jeorgia would he proud to boast, one whose power and inflnem e would be felt amt whose prestige would be recognised. Let us all work for Ellijay and endeavor to build apthetown. What is your inter est is our interest, and the same Is true of every citizen, —what benefits him does also his neigh bor. Let us look to our Interests as a town, lor if Ellijay enlarges her foundation, augments her wealth and increases her indus tries, it necessarily enhances the value of every man’s property within her bounds. None ol us will ever get rich with no town to back our enterprise, but if the town increases our respective businesses will of necessity thrive and prosper correspondingly. Lei us all make a move toward build ing up.EDijay and adding to her wealth and variety of enterprises. The depot will soon build up as aoon as lots are offered lor sale, lor the road authorities don't wait to let the demands of business stir them lo action, but they will absorbe all the 'industries and trades possible. Blue Ridge and other towns a long the road are making a start, and by the tplemlid inducements the property holders offer, we predict that Hvey will rapidly ad vance in business ami increase t-heir number of houses. Lol us not permit oilier towns around us to cut off all our avenues ut wealth, and by their efforts alone outstrip us in point ol business inducements, town pride and progressiveness. Jasper has erected several nice residences and business houses, ami her enterprising citizens speak ol building a 110000 hotel, besides other improvements. Are we going to submit to this advance ment in our sister towns and uot make *n effort to outstrip their strides? We believe not. A TLANTATHE PL A CE. The recent action of the Com missioners of the location of ihe Technological school in placing it in Atlanta is one of the most sensible tilings wo have had I lie pleasure of chronicling for some time Atlanta is the best place in Georgia for such an institution. Wan y other places bid lor it but the Commissioners thought the capitol city the most appropri ate place for it, amt wo think 6<> too. Many of the other places were 100 proud and aristocratic to do any thing with such a school if they had one, other places were not suited on ac count of location or lack of push, but Atlanta has just enough modern progressivetiess, and city pride and energy to make this scheme of the Georgia Legislat ure a success if any town iit Georgia could or woulJ. We say hurrah for Atlanta, for she downed her rival cities with that determination and enterprise so shatacleiislic of her citizens. WASHINGTON LETTER. fra mi rrfo'sr ronwfnstist It is probable that the Govern ment has taken final action in Gemnimo's cate. Ilia fate is close con flu enip nt in Fort Pickens F.a.J with Natch* z and thirteen of his male adult companions. The wc* men ami children and two scouts go to Fort Marion. The Presi dent, Secretaries E-idicnll and Lamar, Attorney General Garland ar.d Genera!

Their family affec tions are very strong. Once more all ol Mr.Cleveland ••fficial lainiiv may be seen at their desks Secretary Manning goes lo I lie Treasury Department every day. Uo is really looking better now ihin when lie firs' enmo to Washington, for tlie 11 lie had not recovered from the ex iiaustion of the campaign. Il is Ids hope to be able to remain in ihe Cabinet throughout President Cleveland's term. He is anxious, of course, lo carry out his finan cial policy. Mr. Manning lia* many of the traits of Secretary Whitney. Upsides being a steady, method cnl worker, lie lias great capacity lor work and lie always is pleasant to those about him. He sits at his desk now with a black skull cap on the back ot his head. H in. Samuel Randall called on Mr Manning at the depart tnenl yesterday and as they sat talking Mr. Randall would liaye been called ilin sicker looking man ol Urn two. lie looks as if lie had suffered a great dial physically, and Ins usually pale lace is pnltr than ever. 11 * now uses a pair ol crutches. Ue would not laik pol itics when approached on the subject. 11 j came to Washington this time only on domestic busi ness; that was to place his daugh ter hi the Academy of Visitation in Georgetown. A number of corpulont states men amt stout men in public life who live in fear of apoplexy, pa ralysis ami oilier troubles, are thinking of adopting some means of reducing tlteir flesh. It is said the President is a con veil to mas snge through Secretary Manning's improved condition, and that he has decided lo lake a full course of the treatment when he can find lime to begin. He will not be likely to find lime, however, du ring his presidential term. Secretary Lamar recently gave evidence oi a very strict construe lion of the President’s orders. An officer of his department who is going home to vote in Noveiubu asked him if il would be improp er for bint to make a political ad dress to Ihe people of lira hom' 1 on tlio eve of the election. “It would,” he replied,‘‘You should keep entirely aloof from politics with ihe exception of casting your vote.” Wnile the President was the guest ol the Old Dominion for a few hours on Thursday, there was considerable comment i.i political and social circles as lo the cause of a change of progeant which ex cluded Mrs. Cleveland and the ladies of (lie Cabinet who had in tended to go lo Richmond. To some extent the impression pre vailed tiiat the daughter of Jeffei son Davis, who wa* to have as sifted in receiving tt>e Presiden tial party, was the trouble in tlie way; that the President and Iris wife put politics and society to gether and concluded il was po- litical ami social recognition the Administration could not permit. At the While House all such ideas were scouted as preposterous. The 1 rip to R'chmond was to be a Very hurried, fatiguing one, and as 1 lie party bad to return ’a c that night it was decided at I lie Cabinet meeting that the ladies should remain at home. S >me of Mrs. Cleveland’s friends were much annoyed that the matt-er should have given rise to so much gossip. Thousands of people suffer with tiack ache, uot knowing that iu most cases U is a symptom of diseased kidneys and liver, which plasters and lotions ranuot beat, the best and safest remedy is Dr. J.

W* im in Ilia latl issue of the Dsblonega Signal ■ ridiculous tale based on informal ion receiv ed from a tramp, we sjppose, in which Judge Brown ia said to have been duped by a wily rev enue reporter. It stales that n dealer in crooked spirits It>l.l Judge Brown be had tnms good corn whiskey out of low-i neat Klltjay a i-1 that lie would sell li:m a jug lull if he w anted it The Judge, as the story goes, se cretly went alo ie with the ven der of spirits and procured hit jug of crooked whiskey, lor which he offered pay tint the sa gaeious dec*-i*er politely refused to accept any coiupeiisa I >n, and in a f-w minutes swore out a wart mil lor Judge Brown for re moving amt concealing illicit whiskey. Tins Munchaspn fete is, of ci u sc, abu e laiseliood. Judge Brown is too shrew-.! a man lo be entrapped in so patent a pillalJ, besides Jus prohibition procliv ities would not allow such on I.i, part. A few moments attention lo his lectures in Ihe court room to violators of this law, would convince the most. incredulous of Ins stoic belief against such practices.
