to the amount of news that is trails-

It is generally thought that, so far,
the fruit crop is uninjured. But it’s
not too late for freezing weather.
The first new industry for Toccoa

be the next one.

An interesting communication
from a Clarkesville correspondent
reached us too late for this issue. It
will appear in our next.
The growth of our town demands
that we have a new and larger school
house. And the easiest and quickest
way to get this is to issue bonds.
The people of Toccoa would like

CANNING FACTORY:
That’s What Tocooa Will
Have Soon.
I.aat week it was rumored around
town that a canning factory would be
built here Thig week w<> rige tQ fe
mark that the factory is a certainty.
All the necessary money has been
subscribed and the factory will be
built.
For several years, at various times,
the citizens of Toccoa have talked 1
of establishing « canning factory
here. Once a subscription list was
started around, but the requisite
amount could not be obtained.
This time the matter was taken in
hand by C. II. Dance and H, M.
Payne, two progressive men, and in
a quiet manner they went to work.
In less than a week from the time
they decided to make an effort to se-
cure a factory the .money bad been
subscribed.
The necessary capital will be fur-
nished by Toccoa men. Below we
publish a list of those who have
taken stock in the canning factory,
All them are substantial citizens
and men of means, and some of them
are very cautious as to how they in-
vest their money. The list is as
follows:
H M Payne $ 100.00
J B Simmons 100 00
C H Dance 100.00
K P Simpson 100.00
B P Brown. Jr 100.00
D W Edwards 100.00
T O Wright 100.00
T A Capjm 100.00
C W Nowell 100.00
W J Hayes 100.00
J L Martin 100.00
W R Briicv 100.00
E Schaefer 100.00
W lJ Edwards 100.00
F A Mabrey 100.00
W A Matheson 100.00
R Y Mulkey 100.00
E E Mitchell 100.00
Jett Davis 10000
John McJunkin too-00
R Bryant 100.00
Total $2,100.00
While this factory will be no big
thing we believe it will prove an irn-
portan*. factor in Toccoa’s growth,
and a great benefit to the people of
the country adjacent to our town.
1 he plan is to build a factory
with a daily capacity of about 3,000
cans. To operate this will require a
force of hands of about forty or fifty
people. This will furnish employ¬
ment to children as well as to men.
The eoun.ry people can find a
ready market for their extra vegeta*
hies and fruit. It will be a good
f;:rmer „

-
factory. 3 This will beat raising . . n col-
ton.
The experience of the canning
factories in Georgia leads us to be¬
lieve that the Toccoa Gatming fac-
t ry will be a profitable investment
to the stockholders.
toccoaV"c*owth
Sixteen hundred and seventy-
three, nearly 1700 ! That’s Toccoa’s
population. Two years ago there
were just 1111 people here, accord¬
ing to the United States census, now
wc have 562 more within the incor¬
porate limits of our town. This is
an increase in two years of about 50
per cent., or a yearly increase of
something like 25 per cent.
These figures are correct, for Mr.
W. M. Ward, in taking t ie .-cliool
census, counted everybody here.
A pretty good showing, isn’t it ?
And th ; s increase occurred during
two of the hardest years that have
been experienced in this secti n in a
long time. There has been no boom,
but our town has just indulged in a
natural, healthy growth.
Why if Toccoa keeps up this lick
for four or fire years longer it will be
a sure-enough city, and will put on
metropolitan airs.
And just now if does not appear
reasonable to doubt that it will fail
to do this. Never before in the
history of the town did its future
seem so bright. The town is grow¬
ing steadily; there is a constant
demand for dwellings; real estate is
changing hands frequently; numer¬
ous improvements are going on aud
others are projected ; a canning fac¬
tory is a certainty , a large new
school house is a probability ; the
improvement company is planning
some important enterprises; the
Toccoa people believe in Tcccoa,
and so do a good many others.
Excuse us for blowing. There is
a time for such, and that time is now.
Hurrah for Toccoa 1

factory are requested to meet

In Nlemoriam.
All that was mortal of Mrs. Asa Dooly wus
lain to res* in Ebenezer grave-yard Feb. 26th.
She was well known in our community
there are many friends to mourn her death.
Sweet of voice, lofty of thought, she was the
embodiment of usefulness, and with iter
going the world loses a gentle woica i.
Peaceful was the end of a life well spuit.
Death came to close the weary eyelid's while
loving ones stoo l around to give all
hands and hearts could do to make sweet
last moments of earthly life.
This devout Christian lady was 54 years
age, and nearly all iter life she had giyen
tlie service of the Master. 3ii i will be
by all Who know her. and toller husband,
children and intlmite frienlst'ie lots will be
irreparable.
She had been confined to her bed for a
time, and bore all her pains and aches with
great fortitude, never once giv ng up h r
good faith, but reaching out her strong ar n
to be more prepare! for death.
Gone from our midst, but thy me norv will
still linger among as, and often we will
reminded of a life devoted to the Wo rk of
Master.
Death must have been sweet to ohethat
only a call from heaven, and the angels
have sounded their angelic voices o’er t ie
reunion of another soul from earth.
8He lived to see nearly a!l her child re i
grown, and a great example was left for
that they might always follow her f »>t-
steps, and that the evil of this wo-'d
should be banished from their hearts forev
er.
Gone, but not lost! just gone before,
VYhere Jesus and the angels dwell.
She rests in peace, her labors o’er.
And we to-day her triumph tell.
