THE war is over, and we have demonstrated
to the world that our country is the strong

zens are the best men on earth, and that
American soil is worth more than that of any
other portion of the face of the globe.

country, consisting of Farms, Stores. City Resi

short, every kind of Real Estate that a man or
woman may desire for a happy home or a com
fortable living. On account of the stagnation
of business during ’96 and ’97, and as a result Os
the war with Spain prices reached their lowest
notch. Prospects are now much brighter, bus
iness is looking up, and I believe now is a good
time to invest, t can still sell at lowest prices.
I have a large number of Building Lots that
I am selling at low prices and on small pay
ments, putting it in the reach of all to buy, I
have been in this business a long time, many
, of you have dealt with me, and I propose to
continue to act for the interests of beth buyers

have property they want to sell, to call on me
or write to me. I will benefit you either way.

Grandfather’s Dream.
Grandfather sat in his big arm chair
Fast asleep.
The wrinkles that ran o’er his wan obi
face
Were furrowed deep.
The tangled web of his beard hung from
His cheek and chin.
White as the falling snow the winds
Gambol in.
His hard, brown hands were crossed
above
His walking staff;
And we hushed to silence the talk in the
room,
And the laugh.
For we saw a smile from his parted lips
Spread o’er his face,
As a ripple runs over a tranquil lake
From its starting place.
We guessed some vision of the long ago,
Anchored deep
In the okl man’s soul, was drifting doxf
Through his sleep.
What was that dream? Did his child
hood come *
And leave a map
Os all his early playing grounds
There in is his lap?
Or was it a winding orchard path
In the twilight dim,
And his children’s mother, a girl again,
Walking with him?
Perhaps, through time’s long telephone,
He heard a coo
And felt a baby hand on his cheek,
As he used to do.
Sure we were some radiant joy
He had met somewhere
Had come to visit the old man there
Asleep in his chair.
But soon his hands dropped from his
staff,
And drooped his head;
And those who came and went that day
Talked of the dead.
Ae talked only of pearly paths
In a summer land,
Where his children’s mother walked with
him,
Hand in hand.
For now we knew her angel face,
Glad in the gleam
Os a golden city awaiting him,
Was grandfather’s dream.
Electric Road to Dawsonville.
Now that an electric railroad is to be
built from Gainesville to Dahlonega on
the “Price road,” just here is an oppor
tune time to mention the fact that there
is a survey and a railroad partly graded
from Dawsonville to Leathers’ Ford, con
necting with the Price road at that point,
a distance of about eleven miles, on
which an electric railroad could be read
ily and cheaply built.
Would it not be aavisable for our peo
ple to look into the matter and see if
there is not a chance for Dawson*, illo ri
get into the electric railroad swim?
Our agricultural, mineral and timbered
lands would be opened up by such a
road. Let’s look up the matter at once.
This road would make our county
“blossom as the rose,” as it were, and
now is no time for procrastination.

August Flower.
“It is a surprising fact,” says Prof.
Houtou, “that in my travels in all parts
of the world, for the last ten years, I
have met more people having used
Green’s August Flower than any other
remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged liver
and stomach, and for constipation. I
find for tourists and salesmen, or for
persons filling office positions, where
headaches and general bad feelings from
irregular habits exist, that Green’s Aug
ust Flower is a grand remedy. It
not injure the system by frequent use,
and is excellent for sour stomachs and
indigestion.” Sample bottles free at E.

by dealers in all civilized countries.
A $/oob Hall.
The bid for the building of the Bost
wick Hall at the college being considera
bly higher than the committee expected
last week it reported against its erection,
but the board of trustees met and de
cided to accept the lowest bid and go on
with the work as more room was needed
at the college in order to be able to
accommodate the increased number of
students which the institution is having
of late years. W. H. Summers of Deca
tur, Ga., put in the lowest
$6,856, who was notified that his would
be accepted.—Nugget.

j BITS OF THE LAW
_
i
, Doled Out to Many According to Their
Needs.
The superior court took a recess last
Saturday at noon until this morning.
This adjourned term will be short and
will probably not last through the week.
In the case of A. O. Smith vs. Van
Hoose & Pearce, Judge Reagan directed
a verdict in favor of the defendants. It
will now be carried to the supreme court
for a final decision.
Ex-Tax Collector T. L. Robinson, who
was on trial as we went to press last
Thursday, was convicted of embezzle
ment and recommended to the mercy of
the court. The jury was out from 4p.
m. Thursday until 9 a. ,m. Friday.
Mr. Robinson was sentenced to pay a
: fine of S3OO or serve twelve months in
the chaingang. A motion was made for
! a new trial, and if this is not granted the
case will be carried to the supreme court.
The case has attracted widespread atten
tention, and a report of the shortage,
which occurred during the years Mr.
Robinson was tax collector, has been
published.
Mr. Robinson does not look like a
criminal and many believe that he is not
a willful one, but that his neglect of
duty has wrought his ruin. His attor
neys claim that criminal prosecution is
barred by statute of limitation.
Bose Freeman, colored, charged with
an assault with attempt to rape on the
persons of Mrs. Elizabeth Potts and her
daughter, Miss Maggie, on the night of
the 17th of March last, was tried Thurs
day. After evidence was introduced it
was so evident that Freeman was guilty
that the case was submitted to the jury
without argument. A verdict of guilty
was reached in a few minutes after the
jury retired and the Judge sentenced
Freeman to serve 20 years in the peni
tentiary.
The colored population was consider
ably interested in the trial of Bill Wat
son, colored, who was charged with lar
ceny after trust, having, it was alleged,
appropriated funds belonging to the col
ored Odd Fellows’ lodge while treasurer
of that order. The jury found him not
guilty.
After the court took recess last Friday
afternoon the bar held a meeting and the
following resolutions were adopted:,
Whereas His Honor, E. J. Reagan, of
the Flint judicial circuit, has presided
during the present week in Hall superior
court; be it
Resolved by the members of the bar
of Gainesville, and of the Northeastern
circuit:
That we hereby desire to express our
high appreciation of Judge Reagan as a
jurist and a gentleman.
> That we congratulate the state that a
man of his force of character, clear and
analytical mind and legal acumen, has
been added to the judiciary.
That he has presided at our court with
the utmost dignity and yet has been
formly courteous to all having business
before him as counsel, parties, officers
or witnesses.
That he has disposed of business with
extraordinary dispatch, and yet without
the least hurry or confusion.
That the dignity of his bearing, his
clear and satisfactory rulings, clean cut,
helpful charges to the juries, and firm
but kind and impartial manner of dis
pensing justice, have impressed all in at
tendance with renewed respect for the
law and courts of justice.
That we extend to Judge Reagan, upon
his departure, our sincere well wishes
for his personal welfare, and trust that
his service upon the bench will prove as
pleasing to himself as we are satisfied it
will be beneficial to the country.
Judge Reaga. then addressed the bar
and said that he d never been treated
with a greater degt. of courtesy than
while here and that he 1 d not met with
a local bar anywheie v a possessed
greater legal ability than that possessed
by the members of this bar. Privately,
be said that we had a couit house which
we should feel proud of. He also said
that we had largest court room he had
entered in this state. He had been in
the magnificent court houses in the large
cities, but none was so commodious as
this one.
A Good Cough Medicine for Children.
“I have no hesitancy in recommending
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,” says F.
P. Moran, a well known and popular
baker of Petersburg, Va. “We have
given it to out children when troubled
with bad coughs, also whooping cough,
ri»nd it has always given perfect satisfac
i tion. It was recommended to me by a
druggist as the best cough medicine for
children as it contained no opium or
other harmful drugs.” Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy is for sale by M. C.
Brown & Co., druggists.
j Morgan Lawman Kills B. H. Anderson.
Benjamin H. Anderson was killed by
I Morgan Lawman, his brother-in-law, in
i the upper part of Dawson county last
Tuesday morning.
. Quite a number of men had met at a
certain point to work the roads. Morgan
Lawman, who was said to be drinking,
and without provocation, raised his
shovel and struck Anderson three licks
across his forehead, crushing his skull.
Anderson fell with a groan and soon ex
pired. Lawman escaped.
Sheriff Roper and a large posse have
gone in pursuit of Lawman. Several of
! Anderson’s sons are in the posse, and
should Lawman be arrested it is pre
■ dieted that Judge Lynch will take charge.
The parties were brothers-in-law.
Lawman is a violent man, while Mr.
Anderson was one of our very best citi
zens and leaves a large respectable family.
Late Thursday evening news was re-
I ceived that the sheriff and a posse of
i forty or fifty men thought they had Law
j man located and surrounded in a moun
i tain cave. Lawman is reported to be
well armed and will defy arrest to the
last, while the posse is well fixed for the
fray and will take Lawman at all hazards.
The people of that community have
offered a reward of some three or four
hundred dollars for the apprehension of
Lawman. —Advertiser.
From Dahlonega Nugget.
Onions are now retailing at one dollar
and twenty cents per bushel in Dahlon
ega.
J. At. Oliver, who owns all the tele
phones in Gainesville, was up to Dahlon
ega this week accompanied by his wife,
looking over the mines, who, like other
visitors, were surprised at the amount of
work being done here.
We understand the Dahlonega C. G.
M. Co. expects to erect about 20 cottages
on the lot recently purchased from W. P.
Price, Jr.
This week Joe Postell of Union
county brought over a ground hog and
sold it to a negro at Porter Springs for
$2. The negro failed to pay him and
legal proceedings were commenced
which resulted in the negro having to
pay $3.20 to get the case settled.
At this time more hands are coming to
Dahlonega than can get employment.
They are flocking from every direction.
Wait till they start grading the railroad.
Then you can get plenty to do.
Capt. Asbury of White county was in
Dahlonega a short while last Tuesoay.
He says that another mining boom will
strike the upper part of the county in a
few more days. In reference to the
smallpox in that county the Capt. says
there are no new cases, and the four
negroes who have it will soon be well.
Uncle Die k Anderson, an old time
negro, wears a little asafoetida and sul
phur tied up in a rag and swung to his
neck. He says this will prevent him
from catching the smallpox. This might
be a good way to keep the kissing bugs
off.
A telephone hne will be built from
Gainesville to Atlanta and it will not be
many more months before you can sit
here in Dahlonega and converse with
anyone you desire in Atlanta. Oh, what
a progressive age we are living in.
We asked a stockholder of the Dahlon
ega Telephone Co. last Saturday if he
believed the line from here to Gainesville
would pay. His reply was that he “had
rather own the telephone than any other
kind of business in Dahlonega.”
There is but one inmate at the paupers
home now, who is a female of 60 or 70
summers and she may not be there long
as it is said she wanted to marry. Any
single man desifing to wear the matri
monial robe and prefers his and another’s
heart to beat as one can now be accom
modated by letting it be known.
Capt. W. J. Worley exhibited to us
last Sunday a liye adder with two heads
and four eyes. It was captured by John
Skinner near New Bridge a few days ago.
He killed the old one and nineteen young
ones and was about to get in his deadly
work on this‘one when he discovered it
had two heads. It is between eight and
ten inches in length and was given to
Capt. Woriey to bring up and show what
strange things they had down that way.
Another belled buzzard was seen down
in the lower part of the county the other
day by Gus Hyden. This makes the
third or fourth one having been discov
ered in that neighborhood within the
past few weeks. The old mother buz
zard must have raised several of this
kind down there.
Prof. Joel Mann Martin, of Perry, Ga.,
has been elected principal of the Dahlon
ega graded school at a salary of SSO per
month, who has accepted and will be
here by the first of September to begin
the first session of this institution. The
Professor is highly educated, being a
graduate of the Peabody Normal School
of Nashville.
CUKE FOR CHOLERA INFANTUM.
Never Known to Fail.
During last May an infant child of our
neighbors was suffering from cholera
infantum. The doctors had given up all
hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhea Remedy to the house, telling them
I felt suie it would do good if used ac
cording to directions. In two days time
the child had fully recovered. The child
is now vigorous and healthy. I have
recommended the remedy frequently and
have never known it to fail.—Mrs. Burtis
Baker, Bookwaiter, Ohio. For sale by
M. C. Brown & Co., druggists.
From Dahlonega Signal.
Prof. B. M. Hall, Max and Warren
Hall, the civil engineers of the Dahlon
ega railroad, spent last Sunday in the
city. It is said the route these gentle
men are now surveying is a fine one.
Mr. M. D. Hudson received a check
recently from the “Consolidated Com
pany” to the amount of SSOO for one
hundred thousand bricks, to be used in
the erection of the smelting furnaces
here. About 200,000 bricks will be
required in the completion of the plant.
Mr. H. H. Brown, one of Gainesville’s
foremost carpenters who is at work for
the “Consolidated,’’ went down home on
Saturday last and spent the Sabbath most
pleasantly with his family.
Mr. Ratliff Palmour of Dawson county
was among friends here on Tuesday. Mr.
Palmour moved his sons and daughters
here about two years ago to educate
them at the N. G. A. College. He is
very much pleased with the progress his
children are making in school and will
have them remain until their education
is completed.

there was a jug carried along as baggage.
Well, what about that bridge at Coop
er’s Mills? We are tired of waiting.

Brave Men Fall
Victims to stomach, liver and kidney
troubles as well as women, and all feel
the results in loss of appetite, poisons in
the blood, backache, nervousness, head
ache and tired, listless, run-down feel
ing. But there’s no need to feel like
that. Listen to J. >V. Gardner, Idaville,
Ind. He says: “Electric Bitters are just
the thing for a man when be is all run
down, and don’t care whether he lives
or dies. It did more to give me new
strength and good appetite than anything
I could take. I can now eat anything
and have a new lease on life.” Only 50
cents at M. C. Brown A Co.’s drug store.
Every bottle guaranteed.

From Homer Journal.
It has been whispered to us that Hon.
H. W. Wooding of Maysville should
make the race for congress. The elec
tion is a long way off but the office bee is
buzzing in the bonnets of many. We do
not know Mr. Wooding’s sentiments but
he is a strong citizen and would make a
close race, and a valuable public servant.
Judge Hill went Monday into Poplar
Springs district, to Lula and Bellton on
a mission on investigation as to the pre
vention of the spread of smallpox in
those communities. He saw men going
about their daily avocations actually with
scars on them, others expecting to break
out at any time. There are a number
of cases in Banks county and on the line,
some in the Dodd settlement. And as
we understand, there is not now nor has
there been any effort made to prevent
the spread of this dreaded disease. It is
only a question of time when it will be
spread all over Banks county, unless
some steps are taken to prevent it.
The G. & D. Survey.
The railroad survey from Gainesville
to Dahlonega is not completed yet. The
Price survey was found to be all right as
far this way as New Bridge, but in en
deavoring to come via of Auraria so as
to come by the Barlow mine w* under
stand that the grade is heavier than they
desire at Martins, between New Bridge
and Auraria. So they went back from
Auraria to New Bridge Tuesday and will
run a survey up Mill Creek by Bony
Tank’s mill which is believed to be a
better route. —Nugget.
NUMBER 31.
From Alpharetta Free Press.
Tom McCleskey has a hog that can
beat the record when it comes to jump
ing. When first purchased, this shote
jumped out of a pen that was 8 feet high,
and Tom winked his eye off and
hinted that he believed the thing could
jump over the moon if it had a little
practice.
There is talk of having a fiddler’s con
vention at Alpharetta about the third
Saturday in August. All the common,
country fiddlers in the land are to be
invited, and prizes offered for the best
music. If the convention is to material
ize The Free Press will give the par
ticulars later on.
Tax Receiver P>ates has completed his
books for this year. There is a decrease
of about $27,000 in the returns. If th’’s
thing continues it won’t be long before
our taxes will be unbearable. The grand
jury should look into the matter. There
is at least half a million dollars worth of
property in this county which is not
returned for taxation. We noticed on
the digest that one fellow had returned
his farm at about $2 75 an acre, and it is
one of the best farms in the county.
There are scores of others who return
their property at less than half its value.
This thing ought to be righted by the
law.
City Cotton Crop—6,ooo Bales.
Hon. J. M. Kirk writes from Moravia,
Texas, to the Schulenberg Sticker under
date of Apiil 19th last: “My farmer
friends, look at every cotton ydatfornj as
you pass by and you will see the present
(square) bale standing on its head with
from two to four great gaping wounds at
the mercy of these who want to pilfer.
The number of bales in Texas taken from
the original runs up into the thousands.
I remember during the session of the last
legislature, when the bill known as the
Compress Bill was being discussed in the
committee room, a gentleman from Gal
veston, who was opposing the measure,
in answer to a question asked by me (one
of the committee), how many bales of
cotton were made by the compresses in
Galveston that were taken from the orig
inal bales compressed he an
swered, ‘About six thousand bales.’ ’*
And yet there are those who decry the
American Cotton Company’s Roundlap
bale, from which there is not one ounce
of waste and which reaches the mill ex
actly as it leaves the press.
Fine Corn.
Mr. I). P. Camp says be bas a piece of
corn that was planted the 18th of May
that stands about twenty two inches
apart in the drill and will average nine
feet high, with an occasional tassel
beginning to show. This corn was made
with eleven furrows to the row, after
planting, and with one hoeing to thin it
out. It has had only three little show
ers, the heaviest one not wetting the
ground more than one inch. Should you
like to see this corn, he informs us you
had better bring your lantern along with
you for there is such a thing as one get
ting lost when you get ir* it. I don’t
know that you will see stars in daylight
but very probably you may see lightning
bugs. He says the secret about this fine
piece of corn is the land was prepared
with a Tiger Disc plow and you will do
well to see him before purchasing.

To Cleanse the System
Effectually yet gently, when costive or
bilious, to permanently overcome habit
ual constipation, to awaken the kidneys
and liver to a healthy activity, without
irritating or weakening them, to dispel
headaches, colds, or fevers, use Syrup of
Figs, made by California Fig Syrup Co.
Would Do All Right
As the time approaches for the elec
tion of an ordininary for Jackson county,
the Democratic party is naturally look
ing for a man to occupy that responsible
position. It would gratify many Dem
ocrats here to see Mr. J. N. Ross filling
that office. His service to the party in
the past demands recognition, while
a better man, and one more competent
to fill the place, cannot be found in the
county. Being naturally a man of fine
common sense, and having been admitted
to the bar, he is doubly fitted for this
position of responsibility.—Herald.
At this Season of the year there are
always many deaths, particularly among
children, from summer complaint, diar
rhea, dysentery, cholera morbus, cramps,
etc., and every one ought to know that
a sure and speedy cure can easily be ob
tained by taking Perry Davis’ Pain-
Killer in sweetened water every half
hour. It never fails. Avoid substitutes;
there is but one Pain-Killer, Perry Davis’.
Price 25c. and 50c.
-■■ I I
Has Been Around Some.
Last Wednesday Uncle John Gam lin
brought in a 85-gallon copper vessel to
Col. Price which was used in the mint at
this place long before the war, which
has been in his settlement since the year
aftei the surrender. Hundreds of gal
lons of syrup have been made in it. Col.
Price paid five dollars in gold for it many
years ago, who loaned it to Uncle Johnnie
Seitz, who is now dead and the boiler has
been returned to its owner. Doubtless
some liquor has been made in it as it bas
been stolen several times. —Nugget.
