Address, The Toccoa News, Toccon, Ga Clayton Edition If. //. HUGHE S EDITOR. 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 quite a serious attack of fever, was out riding on Tuesday last.

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. George Peg wood. S’ Z. a s. 9» cr C P. 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.
