Cbet Cottoa Btfos. gi— FRIDAY, March 24 , 1893 . '" - i i ii LOCAL HAPPENINGS. And Other Timely Topics Chronicled. Vote for bonds. Doesn’t Toccoa grow ? We must have a new school house, Farmers have been planting corn for several days. Several of our citizens are plan- ning to build new residences soon. We need a new school house. This is not given as news, but simply as a fact. In another column we publish the presentments of the grand jury of Habersham county. 1 have just recened 125 pairo fine pants, best ever brought to Toccoa. W. M. Kilgo. Our space this week is inadequate to the amount of news that is trails- piring in this section. 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 dnring the present year is the can- ning factory. Let the cotton factory be the next one. The* communication of our Red Hill correspondent, which appears to-day, reached us last week just as we we»-e going to press. Best 42 and #2.50 ladies shoe in the city. Every pair guaranteed. Edwakds & Dance. 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 to keep posted oil the uctions of the town council. Tim News has plenty of room to publish these pro- ceedings, JPhen you want fine dress goods call and seo my line, finest in town, W M Kniio One of citiz-ms he will i our says plant this year three acres in toma toes, lie has faith in the canning factory, and so have our other townsmen.

It is stated on good authority that a certain young gentleman quite popular with the fair ones of our town is soon to wed a charming Georgia belle,and will bring his bride to spend the honeymoon in Toccoa Mule and horse to sell on time by H. M. Payne. At the meeting of the town coun¬ cil Tuesday night it was agreed to submit the question of issuing bonds for the erection of a new school house to the people, '1 he election to de^ cide this matter will occur May 1st. The notice ordering this election will appear in our next issue. All pjrsorn wlioiwa me ara ad¬ vised to settle at once and save costs of suit. C. R. Miller. The sunshine is warm and makes %ne indolent; the feathered songster is jubilant and noisy; swelling buds give promise of emerald leaf and van- colored blossoms soon ; the plum tree is decked with white and the peach tree with pink ; the featherless song¬ sters of the marshes, the frogs, are piping their weird lay; and other evidences of the reiuvenescer.tpeviod are not wanting. In otlier words,— though you needn't mention it,-—it begins to look as if the spring-time had come, gentle Annie. We have just received a big line of clothing. Call and see us. Edwards & Dance. We have received a communication which bears the Peggv'’-oidy cunhonious signa¬ and ture of ‘ Jack this, nothing more. Now, altliough there are very many peculiar names Bud in Georgia, such as Dink Bolts, Kernodle, etc., we donbt that any in¬ dividual bear* the remarhable name of “Jack Peggy As there was no other name given in this com- mnnication we shall not pnblisb it. As before remarked anonymous communications are edited by the ‘devil” in this office and fill the col¬ umns of the waste basket. For cheap Cutaway Harrows ap¬ ply at Alliance store, R, A. Naves, agt. 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 „ t(im it >(iS(f irlw c ii ^ |<>18 o( lWse „„ „ i( . c „ am , can hud ready . sale for them at the - 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 Notice. The stockholders of the factory are requested to meet Payne’s ball to-night at 8 to arrange matters of importance Kid gloves for sale at Biiow.v & Mitchell’s. PURELY PERSONAL.

Sunday morning he was found in a critical condition. Medical aid was summoned and the doctors did all they could, but he died on Sunday at 2 o’clock p. m. • It is supposed that grief over the death of his wife, which occured five or six mon ths ago, caused him to take hts own life.

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. Pearl SURPRISING LITERARY MENT.
