The sufferers from , the flood in

«Last Thursdsy’s issue of the
North Georgia Citizen dazzles
the world with the following par-
agraph:
“At 1:30 o’clock this morning
the Cunard line steamship Aa-
rania had not been heard from.
She was due here last Saturday.
“Dalton is a great town and
we are glad to learn that its wa
ter ways are open to seargoing
steamers, and trust that its whis
key and water ways are equally
up-to-date.—Brunswick Times.
The Citizen claims to be a
dazzler, but if a telegraphic “tick”
got mixed up with the locals it
was on account of the schooners
the foreman had previously shov
eled snow from.
suspicion is pointing up the road
with one hand and down the road
with the other. '

FAESIEKS IN GOOD CONDITION.
The Citizen plays no favorites,
news is news and our motto is
“ Fearless and Free.”
Of course Atlanta has to be
up-to-date. She had a “Seeley
Dinner” Tuesday night.
Fitzsimmons the champion
heavy-weight pugilist of the world
says he will fight no more.
Fitz has quit drinking, but
through force of habit tries to
blow the foam off of a glass of
soda water.
The spirited discussion of the
romantic tariff bill is unavoidably
crowded out of this issue as it will
be in all future Citizens.
Princess Chimay came near
being mobbed at the Scala music
hall in Paris Monday night. Po
lice protection alone saved her.
Clyde Shropshire says, he
didn’t, but the newspapers say he
did and Paris continues to talk
about the gay ypung American.
It was Fitzsimmons, but it is
Corbett who now has fits.—Way-
cross Herald.
Yes, Fitz gave Jimmie a fit.
The Hennessey & Basque show
that has been doing Dalton for the
past week would have played to
larger houses had they had a few
local blind tigers in the cage. See?
Prof. Dille, of Dayton, who
lead everything in church and so
cial affairs in the Tennessee city,
is now leading the officers of the
law a merry chase. He is badly
wanted.
Mayor Collier of Atlanta,
will possibly recommend, as a mat

caught and used for lighting the
streets of the Gate City. He is a
great economist.

In other words all capable men

expire.
A cyclone at Arlington, Ga.,
destroyed the schoolhouse. Eight
pupils and the two teachers were
killed, besides a dozen other schol
ars were fatally injured. The
same cyclone caused several
deaths at Blakely.
Gov. Pingree, of Michigan,
is a hog. He is chief executive
of the state and continues mayor
of the city of Detroit; but the su
preme court has decided the snap
is off, .and the eity-by-Belle-Isle
will have a new mayor after
April 5.
It was announced that Sam
Jones expected to preach for a
month in Atlanta. At the end of
two weeks he closed his meeting.
It is claimed the financial part of
the program was not satisfactory
to Mr. Sam.. The four hundred
stayed away and the . collections
were limited. “Money makes the
mare go,’’✓and money makes some
men preach.
McKinley had an eye to busi
ness when he appointed Gary
postmaster-general. Mr. Gary has
eight daughters of a marriageable
age and they will necessarily be
liberal patrons of the postoffice de
partment.

Brief Notes From BUlvUle.
We hear that Brother Sam
Jones has been waking up the sin
ners in Atlanta. A church mem
ber can’t get much sleep when
Sam’s around.
Brother Jones should come to
Billville. We are building a tab
ernacle here that, like charity, will
cover a multitude of sinners.
Some folks don’t place much
trust in providence. As soon as
spring comes and they hear it
thunder they hunt up a lightning
rod agent.
Billville didn’t lose anything
on the prize fight. There was
once a man around here who had
a dollar, but he hasn’t been seen
in six months.
We are sure now that spring is
with us, for there’s a towhead at
the gate, and his mammy’s rubbin’,
scrubbing while his daddy’s dig-
gin’ bait, and from the fields and
meadows you’re hearin’ of this
song: “ Gee-haw, thar—git along,
sir! Gee-haw, thar—git along!”
—Frank Stanton in Atlanta Con
stitution.
THE NEW RAILROAD.
Will Make Fashion Enterprising; as Well
as Stylish.
Fashion, March 24.—Well, the
rain came and just kept coming.
Rivers and creeks have not been
so high for ten years, so say close
observers. During the wet
weather many of us became dis
pirited, but the clouds having been
driven away, we now appreciate
the exhilarating rays of the sun
more than before.
Rev. Gary filled his regular ap
pointment at'Center Valley Sun

built through Murray.
Na late marriages to report, but
Christian Endeavor Officers Elected—Other
Dawnville Events.
Dawnvtlle, Ga.. March 22.—
The continued rains have made
the roads almost impassable, there
fore everything is very dull in the
country as there is little traveling
done.
The farmers are terribly ‘behind
with their work. But very little
oats have been sown up to the
present date, and no plowing done
to amount to anything for the
present crop. But it is said that
there is a time for everything, so
the farmers will fry to look on the
bright side, as most everyone has
plenty to eat and some to spare. I
believe most of the farmers in this
community are in a better condi
tion financially than they have
been for years. But they have
heard the old complaint hard times
so much, until it has become almost
an everyday conversation.
Rev. S. M. Bennett preached a
special sermon to the Endeavor
Society last Sabbath which was
greatly enjoyed by the members.

S. Ray, vice-president; Miss Mary
Jones, secretary, and Frank Hair,
treasurer.

Cedar Ridge Above the Water—Ben Keith
and Wife at Home.
Cedar Ridge, March 24.—The
subject of bad roads, continual
rains and high waters has become
monotonous. If the people of this
section could realize the terrible
suffering and distress the inhabi
tants of the Arkansas bottoms are
now undergoing from the Missis
sippi river overflow, they would
likely be glad they are among the
hills.
By attending church at Har
mony Sunday I heard an excellent
sermon, by Rev. Mr. Foster.
There was quite a good number
present notwithstanding bad
roads and high water.
We were sorry to learn from Mr.
Billy Smith that he thought his
wheat in the Tibbs bottom was
ruined from the river overflow.
J. B. Randolph was at Har
mony Sunday circulating among
the ladies. Joe has so many “ best
girls ” he is hard to locate.
Mr. Ben Keith an<L his beauti
ful young bride passed the Ridge
Sunday morning on the way to
their Murray County home, in
sight of the blue Cohuttas. Suc
cess to you Benny, may your fu
ture be a long life of happiness and
prosperity.
