A subscriber in Tennessee writes
that some weeks he does not
the News. The fault is not here in
the mailing, but somewhere in the
mails. A general complaint goes up
on all sides of carelessness in handling
mail matter on the trains. The News
joins the outcry and calls for better
service.

success. Great crowds lined the prin¬
cipal st reets; the large procession ex-
t< nded ten blocks; it included milita-

TOCCOA’S NEEDS.
The late tire _ loudly
-
the necessity . of an organized . fire
•
partment. dlic *ouncil should,without
ilclav, , , appoint . T .. Chief with the
a r ire
full - „ . .
powers pertaining to that , ofhee.
When a fire happens, the citizens will
have a commander to look to and to
obey. If a building is to be torn down
it can lawfully be done under the prop¬
er authority. The Chief can be di¬
rected to organize immediately a hook
and ladder company, which can be
supplied with buckets, hooks and lad¬
ders at small expense, til! the city gets
able to buy an engine. The members
can lie drilled weekly, so that when
there is an alarm of tiro, every man
can be quickly at his j*ost and know
l.is duty. 1 in: News but echoes the
Aoice of every citizen in earnestly
ing this work to ' c put in operation
without delay.
The destruction of the Daven-
] oi*t house especially emphasizes the
necessity of a new hotel. It is true
the Roberts house is doing
in accomodating the traveling
: ml the Mauldin house affords an at-
tractive place for our farmer friends
for half a dozen counties, yet all see
and feel the importance of another ho-
tel in Toccoa. In some res >eets it will
1 e better if a few capitalists
build it as a private enterprise. Hie re
are men interested in l oecoa who are
abundantly able, and there is no doubt
it 'would be a paying investment, ii
these gentlemen are not disposed to
t o t is, a stock tompanj should be
immediately formed. Several citizens
*>ay they will take $1,000 stock each.
If some competent, reliable person
will take hold of .the matter, a sufifl-
eicnt amount of stock can doubtless
be raised in a short time.
•* * * *
It is well known that some poo-
ple have prejudices against stock
panies,and object to investing in them,
It is true those companies sometimes
lose money and fail, just as individu-
als and enterprises under all forms of
management fail. It is not
however to show that, as a rule,
campanies, properly managed, are
cessful, their failures, 1
Nearly all the important enterprises .

of . the . ,
country are carried on by , stock
companies, especially * where consider-

* e c. pi a is
faotories, insurance, railroads, mines,
steamboats, ships; except for joint
stock companies, there would be no
great enterprises in existence; destroy
them, and the commerce of Ihc entire
world would be purged. .,v ...e,,
of these organizations cities grow and
become populous and wealthy. Mam
persons united can furnish
possible for two or three. AH ant a is
a fair example. The citizens are eon-
stantly forming joint-stock companies
for all conceivable enterprises in which
«he y see money, and which wi., con-
tribute to the prosperity of the city.
If a new enterprise is presented, they
say practically: “Come boys, let’s go
in; I can’t give much, but I will do a
little to help the thing along.” How¬
ever this they may differ on other maters,
on ful business they unite. The most success¬
men, are interested in the
largest number of companies. Citi¬
zens of Toccoa, come, unite; rally a-
round the hotel enterprise; hav e * one
erected and ready for tourists the
coining summer.
TOCCOA. GA., SATURDAY, FEBRUAEY 188).
LAVONIA,
About 18 miles from Toccoa, on the
and slopes affording mrny fine build¬
ing sites for dwellings, and making a
varied scenery of subdue J, but pict-
uresque beauty. For miles
stretches out a countryof gently roll-j
i n <, magnificent farming lands; the
little hills, the winding vallies,
woo ds, the cleared fields, the creeks,
t he rivulets, present an exceedingly
attractive landscape of rural lovliness.
About six miles to the west flows the
Broad river; nearly the same distance
to ,he east is the T U gelo ; I.avoniais on

face drainage in all directions almost
perfect.
The bracing atmosphere wafted by
gentle breezes from tlie Blue Ridge
mountains, the pure water, the mild
climate, the excellent surface drain-
age make*this place rank among the
healthiest of this healthy Piedmont
belt.
Little less than a decade ago,
a cultivated farm was here. The rail-
road came established a station, built
a depot, , , and , now there is a lively ,
1Vl little , city . of . 400 lfu ^ people,doing , • a busi- , •

Sitaated only a few miles from the

ter For considerable portion of Hart
and Franklin counties, and through
the energy and activity of its mer-
chants > and "i citizens • • the , business is •
fast increasing, and tlie town is'rap

"
wealth
Th er c £ re two churches, Baptist
and Methodist; a good school with
over 100 pupils; churches and schools
in the country around; liquor saloons
are not allowed, so that in town and
country the citizens|comprise moral,
intelligent, church going coinmuni-
t es.
MERCHANDISE.
There are five stores carrying stocks
of general merchandise, two drug
tlireo fancy grocers and con-
feet loners. Some of these carry
large stocks of goods and do an 1,11 •
mens business. About 5,000 bales of
cotton tre bought here, amounting to
$250,000 annually, in addition to the
amount of merchandise handled here.
There are three hotels, two black-
smith shops, two livery stables, also
two cotton gins, saw and shingle
m iH s ; n t h e neighborhood. A few
m q es distant are a cotton and woolen
factoryj anJ two grist mills. In th s
region ‘ there is considerable water
power,-of sufficient capacity to run
machinery to turn out a large
lity of many kinds of products, par-
ioularly those things made of wood,
FARMING.
The soil bf this region is fertile,
capable of producing in great abun-
dance, grass, grain and root crops of
all kinds, and fruit of many varieties.
Cotton is the principal crop raised,
but by no means the most profitable;
yet people continue its cultivation,
partly from habit, and partly because
q brings cash at the station in Lavo-
n j a
n i ,. Ins . is . a fine « country .f.i- for stock rais-
. and ... dairying. -Grasses , ,
mg of many
varieties will grow all over the coun-
. abundance. , 1 ho soil,the
trv m great
the water are ftU favorable to
this business- horses ^rVcan rattlo and mules
with u the 1 e rioht r 1 care ^ can reach reacli thelr
h^ iest: perfection here, and the
P ense wintering is far less than in
stock ^ raising and dairying can here ™
! >c made exceedingly profitable.
The advantages for marketing
manufactured and farm products are
ample. The railroad passing through
Lavoma, connects with a great trunk
line at Toccoa, over which road and
i* connections,cities north anti
the best markets in tba world, can
reached in a few hours. Good land
can be bought at low prices, and per¬
sons wishing to engage in the stock
business will find in the region of
Lavonia, many attractions and advan¬
tages, not the least among which are
fine laying farms, good soil, pure wa¬
ter, healthy climate, a lovely home in
the sunny south land,and a profitable,
money making occupation.

to acknowledge that Secretary

Department has been all that could
be asked. The latest Republicans to

this effect were Senator Plumb and

ed Secretary Whitney in speeches
madeon Naval appropriation bills.
Mr. Randoll’s Approprition Com¬
mittee having finished its regular
work is now considering the Cowles
bill, repealing the tobacco tax. What
will be done with it depends upon
what the House will do with kite Sen¬
ate tariff bill which has been adverse
ly reported by the Ways and Means
Committee, and whether if the Sen¬
ate bill is defeated as now seems
probable, the latter Committee will
report any other tariff or revenue
measure.
A strong lobby Is working on the
Senate Committee on Territories en¬
deavoring to get an unfavorable re¬
port. from that committee cn tile Ok¬
