YOU. XVI. The Alliance Exchange has elected Mr. J. O.Wynn as its business agent. Alliance county trustee stock hold- ers will receive from him trade bulle¬ tins; if goods can be purchased of home merchants at the prices speci¬ fied, allianccmcn will buy at home; if not they will purchase of the ex¬ change in Atlanta. *** AdventLts in Virginia l ave left their farms and stock to take care of themselves, and are living in tents, u- waiting the coming of the King of Kings and the end of the world Their prophets, having proclaimed that this will take place during the present month of October, begin to tremble in their boots, for the month is nearly gone and Gabriel’s trump has not yet been heard. Crrnks and their dupes have existed in all ages, and they doubtless will continue the end of tin e . «**%* For tricks that arc dark, but by no means vain, commend us to the “bet- tennent” grabbers of the Western and Allantic railroad. First they enlist prominent newspapers to ad¬ vocate their side, who emphasize dismantling the arguments by threats of the road and rendering it valueless, unless the state accede to the dc- mands. Then appear Senator Brown’s let¬ ters published at heavy cost m the most prominent papers of the state. Next the demand of about $800,- 000, accompanied by arguments of attorneys before the legislative com¬ mittee, clinched with the direst threats; also more editorials in news papers with more threats' Next appear petitions numerously signed by citizens along the line of the road, who are frightened at the direful prospect of destruction and ruin to to the road,unless the legisla- tore pays the sums demanded. The Savannah News ^ees in all this the work of a master mind. Sen- ritor Brown may be weak physically, but mentally he is as strong as ever, ris evinced in thus controlling the presfe,managing legislators,a wakening sympathy; exciting fears, manipula- ling public sentiment, in a wfty im— possible except to ttfdn possessing the ability and force of Senator Brown, A COTTON FACTORY That is what th« farmers in the vicinity of Toccoa are talking about. The advantages of manufacturing the cotton here at home are so ilu- mcrous and import ant, that it would seem the neecessary capital ought to be oa-il v raised. With such a factory here, higher prices will he obtained for cotton, and thus the planters who ate share holdeis will make double profits. 1st. What they get for the lint cotton. 2nd. The profits on the manufact¬ ured goods. Other advantages are: Steady employment will he given to a large number of men, women iu\d children. This will make a home market for other farm pro¬ ducts to feed these operatives. Mon¬ ey will be put in circulation, and be plenty constantly throughout the year; the population will increase; property will enhance m value: other factories will he established, and Toccoa and the country for jnaftiy miles around will rapidly in¬ crease in prosperity and wealth. To establish such a factory and make it a success, will require activi¬ ty,-energy, and the right manage¬ ment. First and foremost, the necessary capital must be raise,!. This less can be done by all our jxmple uni¬ ting in the work. The stock might be placed as low as $10 a share, and thus every farmer might become the owner of owe or more shares,and per- baps they may be able to own the ma- jority of the stock, and become the practical managers of the enterprise , as thev,arc chiefly interested. The*N ews suggests that it may be well to call a public meeting, and a- dopt measures to sot the “ball a • " mr Some jiersons should lead off an d call the meeting; perhaps some the sub-alliances will take the ini- tiatory steps. The columns of News are open for any tions or suggestions concerning this important enterprise. AND PIEDMONT i-iiLi R IT JIOUMMA^n i TOCCOA, GA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1889 LOCAL ITEMS.

McAllister and Miss Repperd The Toccoa News. accompanied them. The wedding was one of the most brilliant ever seen in Atlanta. It took nearly twelve weeks to obtain a jury in the Cronin case ; a- bout eleven hundred special venire¬ men were summoned. This trial is attracting wide attention i.i Europe, and startling revelations, involving a large number of persons are looked for. • It is not generally known that there is a Normal School and Theo¬ logical Seminary in Toccoa, yet such is the fact. Prof. John 13. Neal in¬ forms the News the North East Ga. Academy, colored, embraces both of the above departments. Teachers are instructed in methods, and trained for their work as teachers of common schools, and ministers are taught Greek, Theology and other studies connected with pastoral duties. Prof. Neal is a graduate of the Atlanta Baptist Seminary. A huic?' but brilliant wedding took place Thursday evening at the resi¬ dence of VV. J. Hayes. His beauti¬ ful daughter, Miss Etta Hayes was united in marriage to Mr. R. A Ramsey, the Rev. L. A. Simpson of¬ ficiating. The happy couple are a- mong the most attractive and popu¬ lar of Toccoa’s young people. Im¬ mediately after the ceremony they took the train for Atlanta.

AN EXCELLENT MAGAZINE The complete novel in Lippincott’s Magazine for November is entitled ‘,A Belated Revenge.” It is a pows erful story, full of stirring adven¬ tures, the scene of which is laid in Virginia in pre-revolutionary limes. The late Dr. Robert' Montgomery Bird, known to fame as the author of “The Gladiator,” ‘Nick of the Woods.” and other well known tale- dramas, was engaged upon this novel at the tirbe of his death. The manuscript fell into the hands of his son, Frederic M. Bird, who has re^ vised and completed the story in a manner which shows that has inlierb ted his famous father’s literary skill. Dr. Bird’s wide and ripe knowledge of colonial history and colonial manners and customs lias borne fruit in “A Belated Rt?iCrfge : ,” and the outcome is a story which is not only highly enterti r.ing in itself, but als gives a graphic picture of the times closely proceeding the Revolutionary War, and brings that epoch before us 111 » way which no history can. Such novels do for America what Walter Scott did for his own country. EAS'l ON*ALLEItk A nice time to pick cotton, gather corn, and dig potatoes . The o d lady Chet'It is very ill at her son's Air.

Doubtless many of the readers of the News are familiar with the case ° f Jacobl,B of South Carolif,a kil!i "‘4 John Hughes who once lived i.i this coulll 3 • John Hughes came to this coun iy about JO years ago. Soon a ^ ter ’ ke married Melvina Stewart,the widow of Racy Stewart who was mor- wounded on the battlefield of Gharlolsville and soon afterwards died. I never saw a braver soldier than Mr. Stewart face tlm enemies’ lines. John Hughes got into a difficulty in Rabun county and a warrant was issued for his arrest for which skipetl the country. He was then lost sight of until Dec. 25th 1880 when Jacobs shot him in South Carolina and on the 28th he died. 13 years prior to the killing, he married a South Caro¬ lina lady and lived with her till his death. The South Carolina widow sued Jacobs for damages, and recov- ered $750 as administrator of the es¬ tate of John Hughes. The Georgia widow now came and filed her claim; the case was tried be¬ fore probate judge on the 10th, ult. The Georgia widow’s counsel was G. L. Calaway; the South Carolina wid¬ ow’s counsel was B. M. Showman. The Georgia widow makes proof of the death of her.first husband, and a legal marriage to Hughes, which will doubtless give her the money. We think the South Carolina lady was acting in good faith, but it was her misfortune that she was living with another womans husband though en¬ tirely ignorant of the fact. The case is not decided at this writing, 1 Greenville is a live city: business is on a boom. The town is wet, but the discipline is so good that proper, order is kept. We see that more jute is being used in our sister state than in Georgia. Use cotton bagging, it is hard on the farmers now,but farmers will ultimate¬ ly succeed.

Prof. Leadford is expected to come to the Providence High School as one of its teachers in a few weeks, in the meantime the school 18 progressing under the excellent management of Profs, Morgan and Foster. Mr. .John C. Wilson living in the upper part of the county on the cast fork of the Soque has marketed 70 bushels of apples this season and will hate about 100 more to sell.

M. Franklin have been getting up an excursion for a better country, soliciting poor mortals to secure tickets for a glorious ride to the celestial city; a glorious rest be¬ yond, and we love to hear such men preach the gospel of Christ, who are not afraid to tell the truth, hurt who it may, regardless of pay or popular¬ ity. Men who preach the truth, let them tell me if I am a sinner;tell me I am a liar and tattler and hypocrite, a drunkard; tell me plainly 1 am;beg me to reform; but dont fail to be plain; because it is unpopular,*or be¬ cause the pa} is or will not bo good. These men of God for the last ten days at a protracted meeting here, have been going for me ; as well as others, with gloves off. God speed the day when we all can see the moat in our own eyes, sweep around our own doors, hear what others say of us as well as what w3 can say of others. Six souls were made £happy, joined the church and Baptised, enlisted for the excursion this life. In addition to the revival at Mt. Zion there have been four more souls made happy. Mr. A. M. Queen of Rabun, and Miss M. I. Wheeler of Habersham were joined in the holy bands of w© Ucck, Justice N. A. De- more officiating; this is the first party our new J. P. welded together and we learn lie did a first class job. On tlie same day,Rev. M, Franklin join¬ ed in the bands of wedlock 3/r. Thos. Ivester and Miss Mag Gribreals, all happy. May the good Lord make their pathway smooth through this unfriendly world. Major VValton went to Atlanta last week to the bedside of his sick wife and has not returned; you will hear the Iron war whoop when he gets back. Jake Wheeler has gone to Tray mountain to lay in his winter supply of chestnuts, and as his cow has gone dry I guess he will get a barrel of mountain dew to make up the milk deficiency. Jake is a dear lover of milk and mountain sap. Mitchell Franklin has his house framed; the first floor will be for a general store room, the second floor for a Masonic Lodge room and an Alliance Hall. Cobb Ellerds Hotel is up and cov¬ ered; contractors Anderson and Dool¬ ey aie putting on the finishing touch. W. N. Garrett lias just finished painting Capt. Kenards residence.

We cached home next day in time for dinner, where I was permitted to share the joys of a good mother, and protecting her from the ravages of a band of raiders and out’aws who en— terod he house and attempted to take from her what she had saved over from the war, as well as two « 2 [ood horses. Thus ended our career of the war; I have no regrets for being a Confeder¬ ate soldier, and pouring out much blood on the various battlefields, hav¬ ing been wounded six different times My success and protection are attrib¬ uted to the influences of a praying mother, who has,since the war,thrown off the mantel of her earthly career and gone up higher, at the bidding of the Master, to await the coming of her children she labored and prayed for so earnestly. CLARKSVILLE. Col.Derbec has made arrangements to complete his hotel in the near fu¬ ture. We note with pleasure the fact that Capt. W. S.
