TO THE FARMERS
—of—
Gilmer and Ad joining Counties.
I have now at my store hi Ellijay the celebrated t
CLIMAX SEPARATOR AND WIND MILL
The thing that that every farmer needs to separate every particle of rye
cockle, cheat and in fact everything from wheat, making it perfectly clean fo r
seed or grinding purposes. The Separator has griddles of different sizes to clean
Rye, Peas, Grass and Clover Seed- It is just the thing you need and at a price
to suit the times. C6tne and see it for yourself. It is far superior to the most
of our average smutters, and will pay our mill men to buy one for their mill,
as it cleans wheat of all smut and cheat and will enab'e them to make first
class flour out of a very inferior grade of wheat. Gl6 3m.

! ,be meeting, which was to take steps to
; * ,,r, 1 erecting a building for the eluea
| lino of the y.iipb nl the laud, and intio
j tiuced Dr. S. M. Merrill, the chosen ora
| *oi of the day. This distinguished gentle- J
man spoke at some length under very un-
I favorable circumstances. A severe sore 1
throat and hoarseness rendered hi* talk '
I very stramiog and under ddii.Mtli i fT,irt. ;
j Despite Ins physical indisposition, the •
(doctor held the closest attention of
crowded hall for mi hour. He spoke of j
ins nativity in New York, hut said his de- i
termination to relinquish his citizenship in
the Empiie State of the North for tin
hills of the Empire State of the South,
lie spoke of the hill countries of the
world, the devotion of the people to liberty
and their turu ot generous hospitality;
they were always a chiyulrous people ami
took a bold stand by what they deemed
the right. Blue Ridge was the'place for
an institution to develop all these virtues
that adorn human character and manhood.
The advancements of tin age received his
passing notice; the facilities with which
the great tiausactions of today were per
formed, how and with what ense one
could distance Space with the touch of
electricity, how iron monsters sped over
continents, and invention and machinery
caught mankind in*its thrilling buzz.
1 liese strides of human progress were not
attained by accident or Indolence, but some
body bad been to school, some body had
built bcliool houses. What are you going
lo do here ? lie referred lo the financial
march of the coming town, he lauded every
movemeut that aided its commercial rela
tions, but a city built without due regard
to the moral and educational training of
its youth was erected on a shifting fabric.
W e must have churches and school houses.
The speech was interwoven with spicy
anecdotes, and when flights of eloquence
hurst forth they were greeted with respon
sive applause.
Colonel It T. Pickens, of Ellijay, was
called upon, and responded in a beautiful
extemporaneous speech of some fifteen
minutes. He spoko of tlie necessity of a
nation’s being cultured and learned before
it could he power! ul, and tne same holds
true of neighborhoods. The speech was
replete witli apt and curt remarks, and
forcible citations to substantiate liis asser
tions of facts. Hearty applause followed
the conclusion of Ins remarks.
W. 'B. Coleman was called for and re
spouded iu a brief hut weil tinied talk.
He spoke of tlie outlook of this region—
its possibilities and its pi/ibabJe future—
and urged tlie importance of keeping pace
with the onward march of Chilstim civili
zation and progress.
Rev. Louis Ellington was next cnlled
on and replied in a few timely words of
counsel aud direction iu the details of the
work before them. Ho spoke as one of
experience as a trustee of educational in
stitutions, ami urged the importance of
seiectiug capable and suitable men for po
sitions of trust in the enterprise.
Mr. Adam Davenport, the affable and
efficient school commissioner of Fannin
county, was next called for, aud after ex
cusing himself from a speech, expressed a
warm sympathy for, and a hearty co-op
oration iu, tlie movement just started.
This elosed the order of speech-making,
which was received with most respectful
and interested attention by tlie audience.
The chairman, Mr. Cox, thereupon laid
the question of the manner and means of i
erecting tlie building before tlie house, and
asked tlie assembly lo take such steps as
seemed most expeditious and wise in ac
complishing Hie work. Many plans and
suggestions were offered, and discussed by
the body. After a thorough investigation
of the best methods of proeecdure, it was
decided by unanimous vote that the eliair
appoint a committee of five to select the
site, estimate the probable cost, and report
the plan that in their judgement would
most surely and speedily expedite the
work. The chair appointed Mr. Win. A.
Peai'cy, Capt. F. H. Walton, Col. L. B.
Crawfmd Mr. John 11. Wilzcl and ex-
Sberifl John \V. Gray to constitute this
committee. The appointment of this ac
tive, thorough-going and determined corps
of mep insures its ultimate success. A
better se.ection us a whole could not have
been made by the chair, and the wisdom of
the choice is verified iu the personality of
the men.
At the suggestion of Col. Mike McKin
ney, one of tlic prime movers and most
enthusiastic suppoitere of tins movement,
eight of the leading men in thecommunity
proposed to stand good for SBOO o! the
money.
Colonel McKinney and Captain Walton,
two of Blue Ridge’s most energetic and
public spirited citizens, have donated a
beautiful and magnificent site for the new
Academy. This gift is independent of
their suh. cription to the building, and so i
it is with other things, nothing scene* to j
stand in the way of their generosity when !
the welfare of Blue Ridge is involved. In
fact the whole town pulls together, the
citizens are harmonious, and work togeth
er for whatever advances the town. For
the remaining S2OO they will trust to pop
ular subscription, which will he promptly
met by the community. This insures the

A Certain Cure for Catarrh.
Tiumhe, Tenn., Feb. 23, 1887.
Gentlemen—For seven years I have
hud catarrh. Three years of that time I
was unable to work . Unfortunately,
sarly in my affliction my breath became
very offemiye. For seven years I c >ukl
smell nothing, and I bad no t ieto. Ilow
offensiye my breath was all those seven
years I need not tell. What wire my
sufferings of mind at not being able to
taste or smell anything, can be easily
imagined. I was treated by dhyiicians
a'l during that time, and I tried numer
ous medicines advertised. I bought on
cour e of treatment I saw advertised for
$lO that was not worth fiye cents. Last
spring a year ago a pampbet f om the 1
-wilt Specific Company came under my !
notice, and I determined to try the Spe
cific- fourteen small bottles complete
ly cur:d me that spring and summer.
Worked in the crops for the first time in
four years, and I have been working
I right along shice without having the
slightest return of cataih. The wonder
J fu! cure of me has been -the means of
1 bringing S. S. S. to the successful no*
: tice of many neighbors. 1 regard it ns

When I began to raise money by sub
scription to fense and otherwise improve
the l-Jlij iy cemetery, I (lid not anticipate
any trouble about locating its boundaries
as tiie deed was made to tlie county for
academic purposes and should be on reo
ord, but it seems ilmt the old settlers
were not very careful about recording
deeds, as this lot does not appear on the
public records. The original deed must
lie among the papers of some of the old
settlers, academy trustees, or church
trustees. It was nude to three acres by
Lewis Ellington ns administrator of Wm
Ellington, a gilt to tlie state or county
for academic purposes.
1 will givo live dollars roward for the
oiiginul deed to the above property, and
trust every body will look for it among
their old deeds and papers. BelovrwHl
