—We have never copied the state¬
ment, which has been going the
rounds of the press, that Larry Gantt
has retired from the editorial control
ofthe Banner-Watchman. We have
never believed that he had done so
in f&ct we have thought that the
management could not easily dupli¬
cate him as a strong, vigorous,
aggressive and spicj 7 writer.
The Sunday school picnic at Garnet
Springs, on last Wednesday, was a
very pleasant affair. A large pro¬
portion of our citizens, both o’d and

weather was delightful and the
grounds are very fine for out-door
sports, which were generally patron¬
ized and enjq} r cd by those present.
—Grading on the Aorth Eastern
extension pear Tallulali Falls is being
vigorously prosecuted, but it is the
opinion of many persons that it wijl
be impossible to finish up the work
within the time prescribed iti the
contract, on account of the unusual
amount of rock work and blasting
that, is required for the grade near the
Falls.
—T. J. Gastley, Esq , the popular
sheriff of the epunty. wasin Toccoa
last Wednesday, looking after official
business. During the day he sold at
public auction some two hundred
bushels corn, to be delivered at or
near the Currahec farm, some five
miles from town. The corn was sold
at this place under an order of the
Superior court, having bc'-o
levied upon as the property of a
Mr. Roberts.
Last Tuesday was one qf the
dullest days we remember to have
ever seen in Toccoa, fewer people
from the country being in town than
we have at any time befpre noticed.
In speaAing of the circumstance to a
townsman he suggested that in one
of the best and most populous
neighborhoods near Toccoa. the report
prevailed that the smallpox had made
its appearance here, and that this
report-, perhaps, had something to do
wth keeping the people away from
town. JFe have no smallpox here—
have had none heretofore and hope to
have none at any time in the future.
- On Sunday night last an attempt
was made to enter the store of Bryant
& Nowell in this place by the aid of
a f a i se fc e y Yhe proprietors had
become satisfied that their store had
been entered on oqe or more ocea-
sions before that time, as several
art , c i e s had been missed from the
store, which could be accounted for
in no other way On last Sunday
night Mr. Nowell and Mr. Bryant
repaired to their store room deter,
mined to spend the night inside with
the expectation that the thief would
more likely select a Sunday night than
any othet to male his raid, as fewer
persons are on the streets and less
g^irring around among the citizens,
anc | therefore less danger of being
caught up with, on Sunday night
than any other night of the week.
After entering the store and lighting
a lamp, which was placed in a oo*
so as to prevent the light from being
seen from the outside, they took their
position to aw^it developments : but
upon reflection, they concluded it
would be best to first gq out and as-
certain if the light could be seen from
the outside. This being done
and finding that the light could
not be seen from the outside, they
returned to their positions inside the
store room. In looking the door
inside on their return they nnfortu-
nately forgot to take the key out of
the lock; and wbeo the thief came,
which he did r.t a later h«tr of the
nitlht, and attempted to insert his
f*lse key, he was unable to do so.
Messrs Brt/ant & Nowell, finding that
the rogue could not enter, made tor
the door themselves and suddenly
opening it saw a negro running off
with all possible speed. The services
of Marshal Rainey and his track
hounds were called into requisition
as quickly as possible, and the hounds
put upon the track ofthe fleeing thief.
The chase was kept up till near
daylight on Monday morning, but the
pursued party, whoever he was
succeeded in making good his escape.
Carr’s Station, Ga.,
May 2, 188*2.
Mr. Editor: .______ a
__
I will again send you a few lines
from old Hancock. The most of our
farmers are busy chopping cotton and
plowing corn. The grain crops in thisf
and adjoining counties are very good ;
farmers say far superior to an}* raised
in many years. 7f no disaster comes
biscuit will be plentiful. The big
rains through this and other sections
washed the lands considerably, and
a few miles south of here, where the
cyclone passed through, did consider¬
able damage both to lives and pro¬
perty. Our community is blest with
peace and quietude, good schools and
churches, clever people and plenty
of hog and hominy. One thing
remarkable in our district is our
Bailiff, a man near seventy years of
age—he owls no horse, but attends
all law business, and says he cau
drink more bust-headed whisky and
chew meaner tobacco, and tell a
bigger } r arn than anybody ; and he
has neither shaved nor cut off his
! hair in twenty years.
Some weck§ ago a doctor in this
vicinity received from his mother,
who resides several miles away, a
nice basket full of cakes and sweet
meats, and among them was two
dozen boiled eggs, and the doctor not
knowing the eggs were coo&ed, sold
them to a merchant close by, and a
few days afterwards an old lady
called to buy some eggs to set her
hen, and the merchant told her lie
hdd some fresh ones just purchased
from the doctor. The old lady bought
the most of them, went home and set
*‘ er uen ’ an( * ^ ^ 1C light time lor her
to s * ie ( Utjn t come off, and the
l^dy waited several tla}s and then
went to examine the eggs and found
them all hard boiled. How is that
j doc toy for a close one?
j 7’he unbleached American seems
perfectly hapjn* as he sings his
j cheerful songs and keeps his peepers
1 on the blackberry patches.
Irish potatoes and,cabbage are the
favorite dishes now*, and the prospect
for a good crop is very promising.
