During the last few days we have

blow your nose, sonny ?” inquired the
gentleman. “I do blow it,” replied

won’t stay Mowed.”

Clarksville, this county, a place of
about 1,000 population one merchant,
bv aotual count, claims to have ship-
l*ed last year *200,000 chickens. These
brought op an average about 18 cents

thing like |36,000. sWbsn asked
about the number of eggs he had
handled during the same time hn
said he couldn’t teH how many mil¬
lion eggs he had shipped.

dueed rates. Go and hear him; lie
will do you good.
A Remarkable Case.
In Toccoa there is a lady who
lias been a resident of the town three
or four years. She is about
years of age, and since moving to
this place has learned to read. She
derives much pleasure from her new
accomplishment, and is thinking °f
learning to write. Iler desire to
acquire knowledge is quite praise¬
worthy and her example should be
emulated by many «vho are yotm

PURELY PERSONAL.
About People You Know and
You Don’t Know.
Mr. G. W. Edwards made a busi¬
ness trip to Atlanta this week.
Rev. Mr Keese and Mr. Elwardg.
of *1 he Toreo a News, were in town
! last week,—Clarkesville Advertiser,
Miss Bessie Davis, of Toccoa, has
| j been visiting Mrs. W. 1*. Furr for
several days,—Clarkesville Advcr-
User,
Miss M arv Tucker and Mrs
| MeGee, of Bowman, are visiting
relatives in Toccoa. They are the
i guests of Mrs. Richmond Bryant and
Mr-.C W Nowell
j Mr. J. H. Davis and family, of
Five Pont«, Ga., are visiting rela-
tives near Toccoa. Mr. Davis is an
0 j,j Habershan boy' and is welcomed
by many friends, after an absence of
a year or two. While in town Wed-
nesday he renewed his subscription
to The News, which he says he
reads with much pleasure.
Plano Recital.
In spite of the disagreeable weath¬
er a goodly number of invited guests
were present at the piano recital giv~
en 1’uesday night b\ Miss .McLaury’s
music pupils. An excellent prhgratn
was rendered m a manner which elic¬
ited well-merited praise from Hie ap-
preciative listeners, though a part of
ihe program was necessarily omitted
on account of the absence of some
members of the class. Among the
numbers deserving special mention
were a difficult transcription of Plev -
eis Ilymn, very finely executed hy
Miss Annie Mat lie-son, a pretty ar-
rungement of “Bonnie Sweet Bessie’*
rendered with graceful facility and
nice expression by Miss Birdie Mae
Jones; “Angels, Reverie” was ad¬
mirably played by Miss Jessie Mar¬
tin, and the solo by little Miss Ella
Matheson gave both pleasure and
surprise, so nicely did her tiny fingers
perform their part. 1 lie “II Trova-
tore” duet played by Misses Annie
Matheson and Birdie Mae Jones was
one of the finest numbers on the
program, which also embraced scleo-
U ""* lm,n

performed, giving evi-
lienee of increasing proficiency on
the part of the pupils.

be pitied, so are his parents, and
somebody is to I lame, Who is it?
It looks to me very much like the
roads and streets in Toccoa are not
as good as they should be. Like
the Arkansas man’s house, we have

their power and wisdom, have seenjfit
to depose Marshal Gribble. I like
Gribble, and because he happened to
forget the dignity of his position un¬
der exciting circumstances, I don ’t
tqink he ought to be shipped. He did
good work, especially in capturing
“blind tigers,” and those varmints
are bad :o this upland of mountain
dew. Give Gtibble anotliei chance.

If any one don’t like what I say
he can lump it, or pour it back in the

willing to be criticised. If you don’t
like my style, say so. Tt won’t offend

THE SHADY SIDE
Of Raltimore Af* Scon by Our
• respondent, H. W. H.
Baltimore, Mo., M’ch d, 1893.
Editor News: Immigration
our over hospitable shores has given
Baltimore a population of all ration -
alities of people. It is said that
within a radius of one block of the
shot tower can be heard a d»zen
languages spoken. Eastern Avenue,
however, presents a more motley
appearance. There one can pass a
Greek or Italian fruit vender, bow to
a Chinaman, bump against a Dutch¬
man, chat with an Irish policeman,
buy a cigar from a Spaniard, leave
his valuables with “Uncle Isaac”, and
have his shoes shined by a “coon”.
Th : s is the toughest sireet in Bal¬
timore, and the narrow, dimly lighted
alleys that intersect it present a
scene of pover v, misery and crook¬
edness hard to describe.
In these alleys live the thieves,
beggars and crooks of the city.
To wander up one at night is dan¬
gerous, unless accompanied by a
policeman. There a thief would rob
one for a collar button and be glad
to get the jov>. By flashing a bill
cue would be followed by some dark
visaged man and strangled, if the
opportunity presented. The re out-
can visit an opium joi'.tor gambling
den, ash’s fancy chooses.

the sights in this part of the city, 1

cur.osity to visit a gambling deu,

U appeased my experience will
prove; and which, by relating, may
serve as a pointer to some of the
boys when having occasion to visit
this part of “King Grover’s” domain,
When passing a dingy cigar sti-re
on one of these alleys, I was stopped
by the proprietor, cordially greeted,
and with much effusion requested to
step in and have a smoke. 1 a m
particuarly fond of a good cigar, and
after sizing him up, 1 excepted hK
proffered hospitality and stepped in.
i was treated to a very «u,nl cigar.

I had only played two games be¬

cards, managed to get four aces,
which, with the ace l drew, made li e
from one deck. This was the last
straw on the load, ar.d regardless of
the displeasure of my opponent and
several of his “pals,” I withdrew
fro m the game.
About this f me “Bill” informed
me that I owed the firm 25 cents for
a cigar. I paid “his honor” and re¬
