<%' Cottoa $ttfos. FRIDAY, March 10, 1893. LOCAL HAPPENINGS. And Other Timely Topics Briefly Chronicled. Farmers are not likely to plant much cotton, or anything else, soon. A good many ofour citizens are attending court at Clarkesville this WL ' <; k. Between showers some ofour cit¬ izens have managed to do a little gardening The Presbyterian choir will meet at Miss McLaury’s Friday afternoon ut 4 o’clock. Cyclones' furnish news, hut xve : rc hot needing any items of this kind in Habersham countv. Wanted a good milch cow. Apply iit The News oilice. Sample copies of the American banner, a first-class agricultural pa- per, can be secured at this office. One day recently a boy of Toccoa says he counted seveuty-three wag- « hs loade 1 with shingles, in town. When it comes to job work- we are “in it.” If you need anything (J this kind call on us and get prices. In the language of one of our eor- respondents, it‘ rained rain’ here Fri¬ day night and “snowed snow Satur¬ day morning. IL is not thought that the fruit prospects in thi9 section were injured by the recent freeze, hs the buds on the tiees are not swollen much. S< veral of our citizens have depose its in the Gate City bank. 1’liey seem to l.« confident that they will lose nothing by the bank’s suspension. Best %'i and $2.50 ladies shoe in the city. Every pair guaranteed. Ed wAiti>s & Dance. Squirt* Lee Cock is having erect- mi m the rear of his residence a three- room cottage to rent. There is a steady demand for dwellings here. Within the last-two or three weeks there has fallen a sufficient quantity of rain to make a crop, if it could he ‘distributed through the summer months. Trumps Hie frequent visitors to mo- town, and the trump printer is among the number. The latter is more de¬ serving them some others of pedes¬ trian travelers, fur he will work. Come and see our line of white goods. Edwards & Dance. spring is coquetting with Winter, but the old fellow gets mad now and (lien and runs the pretty maiden off. Ere loDg, however, her wiles will be effectual, and thcc she will reign. The m >i cuvy was considerably be¬ low freezing point here on Saturday and Sunday mornings last. One pcntleman informed us that his ther- mometir registered 17 degrees on .* unday. The Richmond <$• Danville railroad caught lots of travel to the inaugu¬ ration. A good many extra trains had to be run to accommodate the crowds, but the R. & 1). managed ev¬ erything nicely. Reports from the section of the state visited by the cyclone Friday night of last week show that the track of sTvrm is marked by destruction, des¬ olation and death. The suflerers need help. Can’t, Toccoa contribute some¬ thing to their relief? A stroll over town will reveal the fact that a good many improvements are being m tde. Severa* cottages are in process of erection, additions are being made to d wellings, palings are being put around yards and other building is going on < We have just received a big line of clothing. 0*11 «ml »•» a*. i ,wards . VN ' 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. Read what W. M, Ktlgo has to Say to the public incur issue of today. Mr. Kiigo has just r?eeived a big lot - of new goods and his styles are the latest. He keeps a fin6r grade cf goods than is usually found in towns of this size, and lus prices speak themselves. Cail on liim and tfam- ine his stock. 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 m'nistnr. Mr. Keese was assisted in the ordination service by Revs. J. T. 'V. Vernon and L. W. Stephens, <»f Hartwell, J. C. Christian of Roystou, dnd \V. S. Rodgers, of Eiberton. 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 with a building lot near the residence 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. HONOR ROLL. The following is the roll of honor for February of the Toccoa Public School: Lizzie Jarrett 30(4 Anna Belle Ramsay 98 May Deaton 97 VV’il ie .1. Ramsay 98 Juo. S.

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. - * Kid gloves for sale at Buow>-& Mitchell’s. PURELY PERSONAL. About People You Know and You Don't Know. Mr. Rob Mann, of Atlanta, is visit¬ ing his aunt, Miss Joe Linn. Miss Annie May Lewis is some time with relatives in town. Miss Lula Adams, of lied Hill, visited friends in town this wee!'. We are glad to know that Mr. C. *>. Christain is able to be out again, • fter his long 1 illness. There is joy in the home of Mr.G. W. Edwards over the arrival it his house of a very small Miss Edwards. Tut Newts was honored with a visit from “Pearl,” our esteemed cor respondent from Tugalo, a day or two ago. Mr. C. P. Friar, formerly a busi¬ ness man of this town, now a resi¬ dent of Atlanta, spent a day or two this week i~» town. Hon. Lewis Davis, Cols. J. W. Owens and Spencer Smith, Toccoa’s lawyers, are all attending court at Clarkesville this week. Mrs. Tom Payne has been suffering with a severe attack of la grippe for several days. We are glad to know that she is improving. Miss Pearl Ballanger, a pretty young lady of Riehland, S. C., is spending sometime in Toccoa, the guest of her aunt, Mrs. H. L. Coe. We were pleased to receive a visit on Monday from Mr. Elias Collier, one of our correspondents, who is bet-* ter known as the “Tugalo Hustler. ’ Mr. Charlie Asbtiry, representing a wholesale grocery house of Atlanta, was in town Monday. Mr. Asbury is, well known in this section, as a portion of his boyhood was spent in Haber¬ sham count}'. Gus Nichols on yesterday, left for Milledgevilie to accept a posi- ti >n iu the Chronicle tdfice. Gus is an expert typo and will mak6 himself quite useful wherever he is employed. Bill Halcomb, a negro who has been fireman at T. S. Davis’ variety works fur a long time, died rather suddenly Monday morning. Bill was a good negro, and h!s death is regret¬ ted by whites as well a» by bln ks. Dr. Frank Davis, who Iris just com- pleted a course at the Southern Med* j ical college oljAtlnnta passed throiuli i Toccoa Monday on his w fty to his old j home near lure. I)r. Frank is a prom- 1 isitig young mar. and we pi odd tint I lie will became a successfu l physi- 1 cian. Quite a large audience "ivetcd Mr. J.W. McLaury last night at the Young Men’s Christian Association. His discourse was exceedingly interesting and all present enjoyed “How to in¬ 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, would soon remove to Athens. This is a mistake. Mr. Jarrett informs us that he has no intention of morirg to Atlisns or elsewhere, as be is contented to spend the remain¬ der of his days in o’ d Habersham. Mr. E. Schaofe r returned Thurs¬ day from a trip to Washington, where he witnessed the inauguration. koine Mr. Schaefer was a ccompanied by his mother Mrs. A. C. Schae- fer, of Baltimore, who has hosts of warm friends and admirers in Toc- C oh, all of whom will be pleased to hear of her aarival. 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” JCSH BILLINGS ON HENS- Th • best time tew sett a lien iz wh mi ti e lien iz ready.

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 ground last Friday night, the 3d. The ori¬ gin of the tire cannot be ascertained. The people of the community will meet soon and make jrangements to build another school house. We must have another house. We arestill having agood Sabbath school. The number of names enrolled Ls over 100, and yet they come. Our schoolteacher, SIr.Jas. Allen , has gone to visit his parents in Franklin county; but will return soon. Mr. and Mrs. Joel Addison, of Franklin county, have been visiting relatives on the creek. That young man who was out on bis pe- destrian jonrney home not long ago, says he intends to see his loved one, if sixty devils tret after him. He is certainly known for his bravery.
