Rain on Saturday last.
The Rev. T'lly is the champion
jumpisCof Clayton.
A'reception was given on the night
of Oct. 30th at the residence of Mrs.
B. W. Bell,in honor of the 26th birth
day of Dr. W. J. Greene. All pres¬
ent report a most delightful evening.
On Saturday last the Farmers’ Al¬
liance of Rabun county, was address¬
ed by Maj. Thos. E. Wynn, of Gwin¬
nett county. His address was a mas¬
terly effort in behalf of the prin -
ciplos of the Alliance. It was sound,
logical and conclusive.
lion. W. S. Uong, Ordinary of Ra¬
bun county is moving right along in
the matter of building those new
bridges. The Judge is not a man to
let the grass grow under his feet when
it comes to tho performance of a pub¬
lic or private duty.
W. L. Arrendale of Burton, paid
the News a visit on Saturday. He
reports milling business as good.
The News regrets to learn of the
continued illness of J. C. Cannon, of
Tallulah. It seems that his disease is
a mystery to the most skillful physi¬
cians.
John Godfrey was in town on Fri¬
day with such an intent and thought¬
ful seriousness and preoccupied air
on his usually radient phiz, that we
wero moved to inquire if any of his
fnenls wero dead, or if his off steer
had fallen in the ditch, or if ho had
cut the coon tree,or been setting hen’s
nests. He informed us that none of
these things had occurred, but that
he was troubled to know whether ho
could obtain a seed of the big pump¬
kin that the News said was raised at
Pine Mountain. He said his reason
for wanting the seed is because he
knows it was the one he throwed at
that fellow during court week.
A. J. York seems to be a successful
agent for the feather renovators.
Jesse II. Rickman, of Tennessee
Valley, died at 0.30 p. m.on Tuesday
Oct. 20th, aged 66 years and 5 months
lie was one of the oldest and most
respected citizens of this county. lie
was born in Buncombe county N, C.
and moved to tins county about thirty
years since In Ins death Rahun
county has lost a valued Citizen.
It is estimated that Rabun county
will have 20,000 bushels of corn for
sale, from the present crop and large
quantities of blade fodder, probably
100,000 pounds. We think the best
way for the farmers to dispose of their
surplus, and the most economical way
to get them to market would lie to
shi p< itin the form of live stock, and
ijacon *
Capt. F. A. Bleckly paid the News
a visit on Monday last. He has just
returned from the Grand Lodge of
Masons, the State fair at Macon, and
the Exposition at Atlanta. He is
perfectly enthusiastic over Georgia
and her immense resources/
John Godfrey says if Rube Bur¬
rows and his pal, Jackson, will just
come to Rabun and lie can get a fair
chance at them with that Pine Mount¬
ain pumpkin, he will stop them in
their wild career.
Tuesday last the County Board of
Education met to receive
the report of the Teach¬
ers for the last term of the Free
Schools of this county. Mr.
School Commissioner reports a much
less number of school* this year than
last, but the general average is some¬
what greater than last year.
Mr. W. T. York, of Tennessee
Valley intends moving to An¬
derson county, S. C. for the purpose
of cultivating cotlon.
Bartow Whitmire and J. Q. Dot-
son, who have been ill with typhoid
fever are reported to be recovering.
Miss Nora Dover, who has had

TURNERVILLE.
Maj. Walton the Iron King,has re-
turned from Atlanta and says he will
resume work in a few days and will
pay for all the land upon which i, e
h is taken options inside of 30 days,
w together • with less t! an lo , }
e,
others, took in the Exposition last
week and saw lots of things ” too tre-
mendous to mention. \V e saw n Den.
Custer whom oldSittingBu 1 wo p
in the Black Hills. We saw the lit-
tie world, the big world; we saw the
seaL dancing, singing, p a y ,n g to
harp, smoking and s lootin^.
saw the half man,and at least f >rty
thousand Colonels, Captains and Ma¬
jors, all bern in the last 20y ears. I T t
would take at least 10 forty horse
power presses 10 years,to print blank
commissions for half the officers born
since the war.
We had a long talk with Coman¬
che Bill, of the Wild West Show; he
tells us that he first saw the light in
Habersham county; helped to cut the
hacks on chopped oak in Habersham; '
saw the two Indians jump off the rock
at-Lovers leap at Tallulah; saw the
devil fixing up the Devil’s Pulpit at
the Falls;helped to build the mounds
ir. Nacoochee Valley; and talks of
spending next summer at the sinking
mountain at Mrs. Smith s.
People in Atlanta are veiy proud
and dress fine; but the fashion has
changed very much since we were [
there last; especially in ladies wear;
bustles have had their day and are
, , ... ,. . \Ve saw
upgmmmn 1 {o of them; they
J^ be small, only about J 8
bstwee| , the eyes; some
seemed to have horns from the way
it gtuck f while others seemed to
be flop ea Q(] Two largQ bustle fac-
tQries failed in Atlanta last week.
The men aR seemed to be driven i i
theip t legs>and very much choked
wkh linen collars. They seemed to
, )e wearin „ corsets from their appear-
anC0 p le ^ ty of dudes in Atlanta,and
they smelt strong of cologne and
, nU gk. Some smelt strong of rifle
whiskey; some smelt strong of Plan-
tation bitters; some smelt strong of a
me dicine called Spirit of Niter and
Q C p a iba; most all seemed to be in a
hurry.
We were on the grand stand
the exposition where Gen. Gordon
and Speaker Clay,Gen. Johnston and
Grady and all the big bugs stood, but
it was after they all had left. They
all treated us very kindly down there;
we had many pressing invitations to
dine with them at 50 cents and «5cts
and &1 a meal. We called at the
Kimball house, but they did not ask
us in, so we went on to the car shed
to get our tickets punched. Before
we could get oilman officer punched
our ticket and let us out through a
little gate in the car shed; then an-
other feller had lo punch it before lie
would let us in the car; then another
feller had to punch it before we sat
down; then after the car started, an-
other feller with big gold buttons and
a gold band round his cap. punched
it till we o-ot to to Cornelia, when we
left his train and £-ot on Judge Thom-
as’s Blue Ridge and Atlantic train and
Will Thomas the conductor, took our
ticket and was punching it when we
got off at Turnerville, and I guess
he is punching the darn thing yet.
I guess we will be invited to the
Athens exposition as I see they hare
commenced asking big men from all
sections. If they do we will tell you
all about the show down there.

LETTER FROM AERIAL.
Mr. Editor: I lie writer of the
Clarksville Items in your last issue,
seems to have a desire to to mislead
the minds of the pubHc by a wrong
misstatement, in the West and Burch
arbitration, as everything he says is
P os,t, ' el i ) FATsT * ALsEand . and without vv,thout founrla- fou lda
’
Uo ”f
His position ... may . be to . . the
poison
mindg of the pubHc aga ; nst the awarJ
declared by the arbitrators,or against
^ Burch pers0 nally, preparatory to
the Maroh term of the3uperlor court ,
no t know which, all we ask of
him is the truth, as submitted to the
We will give him some of the facts
. evidence, . for his
as given as special
benefit, and to satisfy the minds of the
public that he has the wrong sow by
the snoot.
There was no evidence before the
arbitrators that Mr. Burch ever rent-
ed any land from Dr. West, nor did
counsels for plaintiff read any i„w to
the court in retrard to rent.
The evidence ,v»s that Mr. Burelt
had purchased a tract of land from
Mr. Crane for §600,and gave his sev¬
eral notes for the same and took a
bond for titles; had paid some, and
had sold the land to another party for
§900, in ordor to finish the payments.
When he was served with a distress
warrant by one Oscar Mauldin as
agent for Crane, for rent. Then ah-
other by J. B. Jones as agent for F.
P. West.
Mr. Burch, not satisfied to be
wronged by Dr. West or Mr. Crane,
entered a plea against their proceed¬
ings, hence the litigation. These are
some of the facts in the case.
There are other facts connected
with the purchase of the land that we
will not give at present, unless the
writer wishes us to. If so, we will
gladly state all of the evidence as
given into the court.
It did not take 24 hours to digest
the law given by Jones and Erwin,but
it did take some time to digest what
they thought to be a fraud, as they
were in large pieces.
Now we think if the writer had been
real bright he would not
have tried to censure the actions of
men who were sworn as to their duty,
without first ascertaining the facts,
and the truth. Respectfully,
Aerial? Ga Nov 4th> Rex.
