Ere loDg, however, her wiles will be
effectual, and thcc she will reign.
The m >i cuvy was considerably be¬
low freezing point here on Saturday
and Sunday mornings last. One
pcntleman informed us that his ther-
mometir registered 17 degrees on

The Richmond <$• Danville railroad

Reports from the section of the state

thing to their relief?
A stroll over town will reveal the
fact that a good many improvements

5\ e desire correspondents, but we
don't care for those who send in ar-
tides of the “t>uess who” style, of
who write of things that are not of
public interest. There is much
neighborhood gossip that is not
suitable for publication, and all such
we propose to hive out.

Mr. Kiigo has just r?eeived a big lot

of this size, and lus prices speak

Ir. Hartwell last Sunday Mr. J.
W. Brown, a former member of ‘he
North Georgia conference who was
recently baptized by Rev. E. A.
Veese, was ordained as a Baptist

the ordination service by Revs. J. T.

The ear-splitting shrieks of the
freight engines of the R. & D. road
area nuisance to those ofour citi¬
zens who live near the depot. When
these engines blow for a flagman, al¬
though he may be distant only a bun-
1 dred yards or two, they may be heard
tenor twelve miles. In some towns
engineer# are not allowed to blow
their whistles,
At the furniture factory a new
building has just been erected which
will be used as an office and a sample
.
i room . Tlie office has been nicely
fitted up, and is most conveniently
arranged. The sample room will soon
be beautifully furnished and will con-
tain some fine specimens of the fac
tory’a work. The Toccoa Furniture
and Lumber company is a buminer,
anyway.
'1 here have been several transfers
of real estate in town recently. Drs.
icJunkin and Davis have purchased
of Mr. Alfred Price fifteen acres of
land on the western ed^e of town
near the cemetery. Rev. E. a. Keese
was presented by Mr. G. A. Cooper

recently owned bv J. VV. Stott. E.
ilendrix has bought a lot neai the
furniture factory for the purpose of
building a dwelling thereon.
COURT.
Habersham Superior court is in
session in Clarksville this week. The
attendance is unusually large, many
people from a distance being present.
At this writing only one impor¬
tant case has been decided—that of
- Dodd vs. the R. & D. railroad.
Dodd was put off the train two of
three years ago {or being intoxica¬
ted and disorderly, and was injured
by falling down an embankment.
After remaining out until 12 o’clock
Tuesday night the jury awarded a
verdict of $ 120C to the plaintiff
The business is being disposed of
slowly and it is likely that court
will be in session all next week.

A Necessity.
SVc have been saying a goo Ideal
about Tbccoa’s nee 1 of a new and
larger school building. We have
so because we consider that
another school house is as much a
necessity here as are policemen, or
town laws.
Recently we have been making
some inquiries as to the educational
condition ami facilities of our town,
We learn that the white snliool here
usually contains from 100 to 150 pu-
pils. 1 he school house will accommo¬
date one hundred very nicely, and one
hundred and forty can be seated, with
sonic difficulty. This building is
small and ugly, and when erected
corresponded to the rest of the town.
Toicoa has outgrown this school
house, which, when compared to the
size of our place; reminds as of an 18
-year-old boy clad in high water
pants and a brief coat that strikes him
about the small of his back, the
sleeves of which terminate just below
his elbow. There’s nothing wrong
with the boy but his clothes.
Toccoa’s population is nearly 2,000
and our white school should contain
200 pupils. The*) could
oot i Je accommodated now. e bear
there are children in town who
are out u f school simply because of
the lack of room tn the school house.
An< j ve t we claim to have public
8c j loo l s .
\V(» need a school house that will
comfortably seat three or four hun¬
dred children. With such a building
here many country pupils and board-
ere might be secured, and these pay
tuition. Sehool boarders afe worth
much to a town. Such a school
bdildicg could be used until our pop-
ulation increased to 6 000 or 7,000,
which will not be likely to occur un-
der four of five years, although Toc-
coa 18 gfbwing like a plowboy.
Anew school house is a necessity.
An addition to the old one would look
like a new patch in the faded hind
I gate of an old pair of breeches. The
expense is a matter for future refer¬
ence. Let’s realize that something
must be done, then go to work.

Miss Pearl Ballanger, a pretty
young lady of Riehland, S. C., is
spending sometime in Toccoa, the

We were pleased to receive a visit

terest, the children” and “Methods of
Bible study.”—Raleigh [N. 0.] News
& Observer.
It has been reported that Mr. C. P
Jarrett, of the Tugalo community,

This is a mistake. Mr. Jarrett

of morirg to Atlisns or elsewhere, as
be is contented to spend the remain¬

A MAMNIOTHPROJCCT.
Two Northern capitalists have been
looking around at Tallulah Falls for
some time, with an eye to business,
an have signified their intention of
putting into execution an immense
scheme.
It is their intention, so they say,
to build a mighty dam across the
Tallulah river a mile above the falls,
which will cause the water to back
for miles.
With this great water power elec¬ they
propose to which operate a powerful supply
tric plant, section can pi fhe to every
place in this state, at
moderate cost, ei6'6tric motive power.
They will run also by water power
several manufactories that will turn
out spokes, felloes, wagons, turni-
♦ nre and perhaps other things. The
timber needed at these factories can
be obtained on Tallulah river and
floated down .to the pond. said,
Receiver Lauraine will, it is
aid the capitalists as much as possible. extend
Already he has promised'o
the Blue Ridge & Atlantic road to
the manufacturing sites, about o e
mile from its present terminus. The
building of this road to Knoxville,
Tenn., is regarded simply as a ques¬
tion of time. ,
If these projects are carried out a
vast amouHt of money will be in¬
vested in this section and an
given to inexhaustible enterprise.
Georgia has resources, il-
many of which have never been u
ized. The time is not fa* distant,
hope, wlien this section will be one
of the most prosperous in the
We trust that Tallulah Falls
secure these manufactories.!
A Confession.
Written fob The News.
Oh, Violet, shy Violet,
Biue as the heavens above you.
To you a secret I’ll impart:
Sweet Violet, I love you.
I love your maiden modesty;
I love your dainty beauty;
I lore your fragrance exquisite;
And yet, through sense of duty,
f own I love you most because
Of mem' ries, sad but tender,
That thrill me, as I stoop to break
Your stem, so frail and slender.
We lored you then, Psyche and I,
In times that now seem olden,
And liked to wear you next our hearts.
Ob, Lours, ot a'l most golden,
When lips were dumb but eyes spake
much!
1 cannot tell the story
Soa! told to soul, nor e’er forget
Her clear eyes and their glory.
A great gulf yawns betwixt us two;
I cannot reach my Psyche;
And black-winged Sorrow follows me
Is this but test to try me?
8eme happy time—I know not when—
Our souls will be united,
And then we’ll smile to think we feared
Our lives had both been blighted.
Now, keep this secret, Violet,
Blue as the heavens above you :
For her with eyes blue, like your own—
For her dear sake, I love you.
SKETCHED.
It’s rather late in the season for
cold weather stories, but we have
just passed through a pretty chilly
snap, so they are not entirely out of
order.
The senior “Satanic majesty” of
this office tells the following;
Last Monday morning wl en he
went to put out the switch lights, on
the inside of the glass globe next to
the light there was ice. He accounts
for the ice m this way: When the
wick was first lighted it warmed up
the globe and caused it to sweat. Be¬
fore morning the weather turned so
cold that the perspiration froze on
the glass. Our “devil” vouches for
the truth of this statement, and goes
armed with a very heavy metal cut
which he thinks will carrv convie—
tion to doubting Thomases. He
bids fair to make a first-class editor.

Paid one of our citizens: “That
cold spell last January was the sever-
est weather I ever felt. The coldest
night I had a candle to light me to
bed. It sat on a table right by my
bedside. After I had pulled the
cover up I turned to blow out the
candle. I blew and blew until my
eyet* bulged so you could hang
your hat on Vni, but that blamed
candle never fllokefeJ. After I gor
entirely out of breath I examined
that Handle, and what do you think?
That flame had solidly frozen.”
And as he Walked out one of the
crowd inquired, “What kin did you
say he was to George WashingtonV”

We are haviHg cold weather for the season
and the farmers are getting badly behind
with their work.
Cannon’s Academy was burned to the
