The vain the past week extended over a wide territory in the southern, northern amt western states It pour¬ ed down in torrents; in places clouds bursted, and water spouts broke,flood- ing cities and farms, doing immense damage to crops, buildings and other property. Poor Johnstown and other places on the Conemaugh suffered the terrors of another threatened flood. The waters rushed from the hills fill- ing first floors of houses, and ing furniture that had been saved froin the great flood. Tho commissioners to the Sioux In- >linns are in trouble. They arc una. bleu, induce all the ml skins to sign the treaty. The wily warrior, Sitting Bull, opposes the treaty and influences the braves not to sign it. Mrs. C. W. Wilder, of Newark, X.

In the local columns, the News contains an interview of some of our prominent citizens on the subject of a school house in Toccoa. Usually, on this, or any subject where the question of taxation is involved, there is a great diversity of opinion. here there is a remarkable unanimity, All agree as to the importance of hav- ing a good school building; the chief differences being as to the cost of the building, and the time it should be erected ; some thinking this should beTe erred a few years, M a j Crawford, in a letter, expresses his views at length.

Holbrook, Treasurer, G. W. Carroll; Chaplain. On motion of R. A. Naves, a eom- mitt e was appointed to make a list of premiums for the best acre of corn, wheat, oats and potatoes. The report of the committee is as follows: For the best acre of corn £25; for wheat £ 10 ; for oats £5, and for potatoes £5. ATHENS ON A BOOM. The boom spirit is stirring Athens from center to circumference. The Banner brings out his biggest rooster and crows so loud as to startle At- lanta. Athens is to have four rails roads and divert trade even from the capital city. The G. C. & Northern is assured. The Augusta A Chatta- nooga is certain to come. A road from Athens through Gainesville, Dahlonega, to the Marietta & N. G. road, soon to Knoxville is only a question of time. Judge Thomas’ road when completed will be a great feeder to the city; a large hotel is to be built, and so the Banner seems justified in its enthusiasm at the bright prospects, THE NEW CAPITOL. The Legislature of Georgia con- veiled at the new capital, July 4th, t( ie anniversary day of our nation, j„ q ie presence of both legislative bodies, and a large concourse of peo- p] e> t j )e manificent capitcd was for¬ nin Jiy dedicated and made over to the stat0 The venerable chaplain of the senate? the Kev . j ohn Jones, made the dedicatory prayer; dedica¬ ting the house to God first: “Unless God build the house, they labor in vain who build it.” Capt. Evan P. Ilowell, represen- t! ng the capitol commission, in a neat speech, made over the building delivered the keys into the hands °f Governor Gordon. In an address reploto with eloquence and beauty of language, the Governor, in behalf of the state,accepted “Georgia’s new and superb capitol.” A general out- burst of applause followed the close of the eloquent oration; tho people retired, and the legislature opened its session. It is a building worthy to bo called theCapitol of the Empire State of the South. GARNECUE TUiTrICH MAN. Carnegie the great iron and steel man is very rich; twenty four hun- dred of his laborers are very poor. The other day he reduced their wages per cent, thus making them grow poorer that he may grow richer; for their hard earnings add to his mil- lions every year. Now the shrewd Carnegie writes an article for a mag¬ azine, in which he shows it is better tor people to die poor, thinking per- chance to make his workmen contcn- ted with small wages. Dot they don’t seem to appreciate the moral the pious Carnegie seeks to inculcate. The twenty tour hundred are so rod foolish as to strike against the reduction . .• ; w „ ith -,r them it •. • not riches but daily bread. It Carnegie in stead of keeping back some of their hard earnings, would divide a hundred thousand or two with these poor people, he would practice what he preaches and people would believe him sincere. His motto seems to be: “It is better for people genei’- ally to die poor; but as for me let me death of the rich man and let my last end be like his.” RED HILL. GABOON. Crops are looking very promising, Mr. IT. F. Holly who is selling fruit trees is now in Red Hill. Mr. J. W, Crump’s traction engine is out of repair. Red Hill for the last week has been well blessed w ith thrashers. Isbell & Baily offer to haul up the wheat, and then to pen the straw, and if the parties are not satisfied them the toll.

CARNES CREEK. FARMER. Carnes Creek Alliance, of this county, has passed a resolution to not use anything hut cotton bagging to cover cotton tho coming season, and have already ordered enough to cover 100 bales. The County Alliance meets this month, and will elect delegates to the State Alliance. The report from the department of agriculture of Georgia for the month of May, shews a decrease of 3 per cent, in the area devoted to cotton as compared with last year, exactly corresponding in the increase in corn area. It is gratifying to see that the farmers of Georgia are at last realiz- ing that they must first make their supplies at home, and then make cot¬ ton as a surplus crop. We have had good weather for the last week, and cotton and corn are progressing finely; so is the grass. The probability is that the largest fruit i rop will be harvested ever known in the history of the State. One young fanner’s wife in this neio-hborhood has sold £35 worth of butter, eggs and produce this spring. ---- <1 ■ «T« -- Ifyou spit up phlegm, and are troubled with a hacking cough, use Dr. J.

Crops are looking very promising Some fields are somewhat grassy but that is owing to the magnitude of the crop in proportion to the number of lab irers. S rghuin cane is becoming tho sta¬ ple of Red Hill. A serious accident happened in this precinct last week, the injuries of which were received by Wesley, son of Felix LeOroy. The father was reaping oats,while the son was sheaf¬ ing; neither one noticing the other; the point of the scythe struck the boy’s eyebrow. He suffered intense pain for several days, but we are glad to hear of his convalescence. Rev. \V. T. Hur.nicutt preached an eloquent sermon in Allen’s church last Sunday.

Copious rains have fallen through¬ out this portion of the county for the past several days, and is greatly ben- efiting the growing crops, especially new grounds, of which a larger area has been put into cultivation this year than for many years previously, and now our fanners have put on their best smiles and look hopeful for ■ a good crop. There is some sickness in our sec- tion, but none of a serious character, we hope, Mr. G. Stonecypher has the finest looking corn we have seen this sea- s. N. Camp has the best cotton that the writer has seen. Mr. Camp is not only the champion cotton grower of this vicinity, but he also is the chain- pion marksman, as he killed a very large hoo hooowl one day Inst week with his double barrel shot gun, a long distance. He also is the happiest and proudest man in the county upon the recent arrival of a new boarder at his house; if you can’t guess the banc e ask Dr. Underwood. Miss S. A. Farrow spent some time in Toccoa last week visiting relatives. Prof. Vaughn, of Elberton, will sing at Liberty Hill the second Sun¬ day in this month. One D. S.

We regret to say that there is no school going on hero on account of there being nc suitable house and no teacher. We would urge upon our citizens to unite and build a school this fall, and mako preparations to commence school in the winter some time. If something is not done in the way of education, we will be sad¬ ly left. July 3J, 1889. MUNICIPAL TAX NOTICE.

FARM NOTES. More fertilizers were analized last year in Georgia than ever before, This would seen to indicate that the amount of fertilizers used was increas- ing. Lime applied broadcast to the soil aids to render plantfood already in the soil available, and it is an exception to find a soil but that can be more or less benefited. How to Make Farming Pay’.— “Does {arming pay?” I emphaticaK ly say it does, I was born and rear¬ ed in a city, learned a useful trr.de, and always commanded the highest wages ; can now leave the farm and get steady employment at three dol¬ lars a day, but that does not pay near so well as the farm. “Use of House Slops.— It is a very profitable use of house slops,and the water used on washday to put them on the garden.

A great many of our girls of the present day suffer from inconvenien¬ ces that by a little knowledge and careful attention can bo remedied. Breaking out upon the face can be corrected by abstaining from the use of butter for awhile or too greasy food, and taking inwardly a table-spoonful of equal parts of sulphur and molas scs mixed with half the quanity of cream of tartar, every morning for three mornings, and then discontinue it for awhile. Eating a lemon every morning before breakfast during the eailv spring months will correct many impurities of the blood. PERSPIRATION Sometimes even wearing shields is not sufEeent protection to dresses, but the prime cause of profuse per¬ spiration under the arms is nervous¬ ness, and a tonic for the nerves will hell) allay Urs to some extent. Those rubber shields are the best which are covered with stockinet, as when soil- ^ they can be easily’ washed. Baste them all round the edge to keep them in place and wash them in cold water, so as not to destroy the rubber. Plac¬ ing a layer of cotton between the out¬ side liniug of the dress will often pre¬ vent it from coming through. Pro¬ tectors of white flannel worn next to the skin will act as an absorbent. These should be basted inside the un¬ der-vest. Frequent bathing is a good corrective. 30APS. The face should not be washed with soap. A little ammonia added to the water will do the work better and leave the skin purer and less glossy. Pat the the face dry, and while it is a little damp you may even use a little face power to keep off the shiny : ppearance. As much as possible keep the hands away from the face. Wear a veil in all windy weathers, also when going long distances through the very hot sun, as the re¬ flection of the sun from the path burns almost as badly as its direct rays . OUR EXCHA NGES.

A PLEASANT RESORT IN TZZE MOUNTAINS. Athens Batin";-. A party of gentlemen from Lhis dir. CAV*B^Gina”'Oaptj” ’ E.’ Cox, have arranged to erect a sum- mer home on tho Chattooga river, a- bout six miles distant from Tallulah Falls, to which they can repair during the sully summer months and hunt, fish and while away their idle hours. A little rural Arcadia has been se- lected for this resort. On a rolling strip of ground near the banks of the Chattooga, they will erect a three- room club house. At the door is ahold spring of the purest freestone water;a beautiful little mountain towers at the rear, while on the right is a rip- pling brook. By laying a pipe 150 yards spring water can be placed all through the building, witli a fall 30 feet. The river abounds iu the finest fish, and for a distance cf ten miles can he navigated with sail boats. The woods are full of game, while the surroundiug country wil 1 sudply the tourists with produce for the table. The fish caught here are very fine, and a cat makes as nice a meal as a trout caught in the south¬ ern waters. The land is owned by an old man named Pitts Vandiver, who has kindly consented to let these gentlemen have full use of tins property for 09 years, without any remuneration, and also grants them preserves over the neigh¬ boring mountains and streams.
