Great crowds lined the prin¬ cipal st reets; the large procession ex- t< nded ten blocks; it included milita- ly companies, secret societies, Grand Army soldiers, Confederate veterans, tne companies; citizens and distin- guished visitors in carriages. The ex- hibits surprise and delight with their extent and attractions. 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 . * 1 of . the . , country are carried on by , stock companies, especially * where consider- a , , . , . required.—as . . banns, , , * 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.

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- , • 1 1 ness equal , to that , of f many towns sev- eral , times . . its size, Sitaated only a few miles from the ,, Hart , countv . ,• line, it •. is • the trade j cen- 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 idly orowintr _ in prosperity and " 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 ,.

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.

The latest Republicans to publicly put themselves on record to this effect were Senator Plumb and Senator Hale, both of whom eulogiz¬ 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¬ lahoma bill.
