Having had occasion to go to Ellijay on a little business —what I saw—what They said and what I snrmised, got me to thinking, and at last to writing. I saw for the first time a good looking young la¬ dy acting as depot, express and ticket agent. They said she was the depot agent and of course I only know what they said, and I thought that it might bo well, for those who can to give their girls a business education for there are many positions and places that|hey hoo<Hn could fill for a lively case they get left, and I thr that there are a great manyyoung men who could and might be ornaments in church and society instead are not fit for buzzards bait. They said Jule Picket, sold three tidtes as much liquor to the Murray people, as he did to Gilmer; and I thought that if everybo<^ thought as much of parson Picket and his liquor as I, he Would mighty lonesome th<flnan ovm: there. They said that who keeps the Poplar Log grocery, don't drink a drop, and I thought, sensible man, in that particular he knows it isn't will®ill fit tor a hog and that it a horse when drenched with if. They said some would hitch u^ and walk through the toll gate and I thought that the J| Devil ought to have his dues. the road is rough and hard tosskeep up and the gate keeper a $ .....I saw only one drun fellow while on 3aid trip JED d he looked like he was from ,ur ary, and I thought tha ‘be he had got mighty dr . Then I thought about; Some of the clever young men of my own neighborhood—how they wil go or send—worll than to throw their money away with the ruau who can do without drinking the stuff he sefis. Gorge themselves, run people off from around like so many jerseys and keep decent people awake. “Men and brethren what shall we to be saved?” One poet broke loose and saict: This world is what we make it.” I tear away and say Murray county will be what the people make it. Young ladies you may do much in iuppressing these great evils and need I say, keep a skinned eye tor yourselves. Gray¬ headed, bald-headed, sensible men, old and young, where do you stand on the liquor qifi® tion? let all good people £do what they can against it and may the good Lord help us out with a cyclone or an earth¬ quake or something else, where it will do the most good. Now who says I din't see what I saw, heard what I heard and thought what I thought. Gosh Rakins. Items from Alaculsa.

HOLLY CREEK RIPPLES April 1, ‘90:— Everything seems to indi cate that Spring-time has coma Birds are singing their spring songs; buds and blooms are bursting foTtb; Easter has come - and gone, and the children have eaten their Easter egg a Peach* es are not all killed. Farmers are preparing for planting their cropa Rev. R B Brooks, of Oostanaullie Association^ is visiting at Rev. J A Phillips’ and preached at New Prospest yesterday. He will remain in the neighborhood yet a few days, and probably have other appointments for preaching. Following is a fair sample of calf sense: last night, while rub¬ bing, a calf of the writer got the bell collar hung over a small stubby hickory bush and kept winding around until the bush twisted almost to a kink and fifially choked the calf to death. Mr. Charley Ridley and wife, who were married last Christ¬ mas are Mr. Mm. H Trollinger and Miss Elizabeth Helton, were married last Thursday at 6:30 p m at the residence of Mr. A B Trollinger by Rev. B F Bright. So you see, while some “part'’ others “marry.” Parties to the “marriage con¬ tract” ought to “premeditate’ more “seriously.” Singing a + Caseys yesterday a week ago. The time is here to reorganize Sunday schools and singing societies. Eff. Gyphum Texas, Apr. 7th. 1890. Mms. Editors: I seat myself once more to write your paper, and hope you will Rive this article space, and I will fell yon something about the “far west“ as we use to call it. We have been having some dry windy weather for the past six months. On the 27th of March we had a big sand storm.the worst one ever known. I tell you it made folks hustle to "their dug-outs. I think a dug out is the whole idea anyway. One could write his name on the pillows or anything white, so you see it was dusty. The game was, eves and mouth shut, or see and eat no more. Wheat is hurting for rain. W'heat, melons and sorghum can do well here when it rains. Sorg< hum is raised for feed; corn dosn't grow well here. Game has been plentiful, but is getting scarce now. We have some of the following species yet: antelope, deer, turkey, wolves, wild cats and pole cats. Before I forget, I would like to ask the Editors it they will give space in the Ti«es for children's let ters (say like the Constitution) I always like to read children's let¬ ters. It does a child a great deal of good to see a letter of his own pro¬ duction in print. I know by myself it makes me feel like I was doable ointed. Another question; which is the worst to have plenty to eat and be sick and can't eat, or be well and eat everything you can get hands on? I wish you all could see the prais rie dogs ratile snakes and tarantulas The prairies are full of them. There is not a great deal of farm¬ ing going on in this country. Nothing much but stock herding. Good wishes to all. Tom Cain. If you are going West or Southwest and want Cheap Tickets and Qnick Time, ad dress or call on T. C.
