LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
And Other Timely Topies Briefly
Chronicled.
Next Snndy is Easter.
We are glad to get the hews from
Clarksville,
The compress was running a day or
l «o recently.
A good many of our citizens have
1 »ftn in Carnesville this week atten¬
ding court.
Toccoa is improving so fast that
it ia difficult to keep up with the
building that is going on.
To bond or not to bond? That is
the quest ion, and the answer should
be in the affirmative.
Read the notice ordering an elec¬
tor on the question of issuing bonds
t<* build a hew school house.
To-morrow is a great anniversary—
All-fools day. If you are not one you
needn’t feel it your duty to observe
the day.
Let every citizen who favors issu¬
ing bonds to build a new school house
mb his influence to induce others to
vote for bonds.
Since our last issue several other
gentlemen have subscribed to the
canning factory. A sufficient amount
of money to run a good sized factory
is assured.
“Cotopaxi’’ makes some remarks
to our correspondents in this issilBi
We do not propose to comment on
‘.«hat he says, but leave that to our
c« ntributors.
I have just recnved 125 pairs fine
panls, best ever brought to Toccoa.

while we have fe\V. By proper
efforts we could secure many visitors
during the summer months.
All pTim 'Vin-Vj <n» in ni-
vised to settle at once and save costs
of suit. C. R. Miller
There are some of our citizens who
oppose the plan of issuing bonds
to build n school house. The col¬
umns of The News areopen to them
for the expression of their views. If
there is any valid objection to this
plan we should like to hear it.
At the meeting of the stockholder*,
of the canning factory last Friday
flight no business was transacted.
Another meeting was appointed for
Thursday night, (the 30th) for the
purpose of organiting. As we .go to
press on Thursday afternoon we can¬
not give a report of th ; s meeting.
Best $2 «nd $2.50 ladies shoe in
the city. Every pair guaranteed.
Edwards & Dance - .
The largest congregation which
the Presbyterian church has held for
a long time, gathered last Sunday
night to hear *he lecture delivered
by fudge Estes, of Gainesville. The
audience manifested their interest in
his earnest, impressive discourse by
close and appreciative attention.
I*, is hoped that we may again have
the pleasure oF hearing Judge Estes
lecture.
Sunday was an ideal pring day—
just such a day as to cause one who
is kept indoors six days of the week
to have an irrestih’e desire to bask
in the bright pleasant, sunshine
awhile and then stroll amid woods
which are beginning to K give evidence
of the advent of spring. Here and
there may be seen a tree upon whose
branches the tiny, green leaves are
visible; others are decked in blossoms
some pink, 6oine white; the modest
violet opens its beautiful blue eyes
and gazes downward, shyly ;
emerald spears of grass appear
here and there; the feathered song¬
sters pour out their madrigals upon
the balmy air, and nature seems glad
that the season of wintry blasts and
whirling snowflakes is o’er. And so
are we.
I^hen you want fine dress goods
call and see my line, finest in town.
W. M. Kilgo.
NOTICE.
We have been requested to
nounce that religious services wi'!
be held on top of Currahee moun¬
tain next Sunday. The celebrated
evangelist, Rev. U. B Good, will
preach, and the singing will be led
by that noted songster, 1. M. A.
Howler. The public is invited to
attend and bring baskets properly
loaded for an occasion of this sart.
Moonshiner Caught.
Another Habersham moonshiner
has been captured. His name is
Benny Morris, and he was caught
Saturday by Deputy Marshals
Thomas and Reynolds. Morris lived
between this place and Clarksville,
about seven miles from here, and is
said to be an old hand at the inoun>
tain dew business. He was carried
to Atlanta, but succeeded in mak¬
ing bond.
Suicide In Buford.
News has reached us of the sui¬
cide in Buford Thursday night of
Mr. Lon Peek, a young man of that
place. According to reports he told
several of his companions good-bye,
and before retiring took a large
dose of morphine. He was well
known in Toccoa, having worked
here at various times as a carpenter.
He assisted in building the depot at
this place and Scheefer’s cotton plat¬
form^ and did other work here. His
untimely death is regretted by his
Toccoa friends.
About a Blanket-
A case in which a middle aged
white female accused a younger in-
dividual of the same gender and com¬
plexion c! stealing a blanket valued
at $2, was tried before Squire Cook
last Friday night.
The plaintiff stated that the de¬
fendant snatched the blanket from
her and boldly carried It off. The
defendant and her witnesses testified
that the plaintiff was so drunk “she
jes’didn’t know nothin’,” and that the
blanket in question had not taken
up with the accused. Squire Cook
dismissed the case, whereupon the
plaintiff remarked \vith much empha¬
sis that “a po’ ole woman didn’t
stand no show ter git jest ice when
tlmr was a good- lookin’ gal on t’oth¬
er side ’
Uevj P jstmaster.
Postmaster — will be in a
few days. Mr. .1. -S iiriei.t lias r *
.
reived the appointment uf ost master
of Toccoa, and as soon as the prelim-
inar.es hiivft been arranged he will
>Xep i n and Postmaster Scott will
ou: .
In addition to the hbhorof holding
this responsible place, Mr Bright en¬
joys the unique distinction of being
the first postmaster in tlie South who
was chosen by primary elec¬
tion. In last December the people
of Toccoa said by their votes that
they wished Mr. Bright to handle
their mail, and the wishes of the peo
pie were not disregarded by’ the
powers that be in Washington.
We congratulate Mr. Bright and
our citizens upon this appointment-
NOT GUILTY.
That’s what the United States
court of Atlanta said about the case
of Marshal (Jrihhle, of Toccoa, who
was charged with violating the local
option law. Several witnesses testi¬
fied that Gribble had sold whiskey,
but it seems that their evidence
didn’t have much weight.
The news of the result of the trial
WR5 recived with delight here.
Mr. Gribble readied borne Wednes¬
day night, and has been receiving the
congratulations of numerous friends.
Mr. Gribble lias been reinstated on
the police force, and now that his
trial is over he is feeling good. He
has beer, doing good work as marshal
especially among the “blind tiger,s”
and we trust he will make it so warm
for tiiese “varmints” that they will
cease frequenting our town.
KILLING AT LAVONIA.
In Lavooia Saturday a pistol got
m its deadly work, young Sank Har¬
rison shooting C» M. NYilson.
(Ve have been unable to get full
particulars cf the affair, but the fact8 (
according ® to reports, v are as follows:
The two men were in a room by .
themselves gambling. A dispute
arose, pistol shots were heard and
IT Harrison rushed , , out,pursued ,, by w^.., \\ »N

fell and in a fcw ninules expired,
Harrison> who was uninjured claims
that be acted in self-defense.
An inquest wss held atd the jury
decided that Wilson’s death was
caused by pistol shot wounds at the
hands of Harrison, but gave no ex¬
pression as to their opinion of
guilt o r innocence of Harrison.
We leans that there has been
effott made to arrest Harrison.
Wilson was considered a danger-

A Gretna Green Affair.
A runaway marriage occured
Toacoa Sunday, the contracting par*
ties being Mr. I. B. Hulsey and Miss
Eita Cothran.
The marriage was a complete snr-
prise to the bride’s parents, who did
not know that Mr. Hu.sey had been
paying their daughter any attention.
It seems that the courting had been
done when the young lady was visi-
tir.g relatives,
Knowing that Mr. Cothran would
object to the marriage, the lovers
did not ask his consent, but resorted
to strategy. On Saturday Miss
as she was then, left home on
pretext of spending the night vviih a
neighbor. Early Sir day morning
Mr. Hulsey procured a handsome
turnout at the livery stable here, and
i: ' ehert time returned with the
blushing maiden by his mde.
he was joined by ^ a number of Ids
”
frieiul^ t r i e ii (in, who wf»ro vei rnilroMd i a i ii (mu mpiu me.i, nuti .mu
the party proceeded to the home of
Mr. Tlios. \\ ulli-rs in tl'O cnunlry,
where they were joined in wedlerk
Rev. W. W. Stowe.
The parly then reptured to the
residence of Mr. William h reeman,
near Currahee, where a sumptuDua
dinner was served.
Mr. Hulsey is a fireman on the R.
& D. road, and is well known and
much liked in Toccoa. He has been
married before and is about 35 years
of age.
His bride is an attractive young
lady of about 17 or 18, and lived
three or four miles from thi« place.
The News offers congratulations.
New Buildings.
We have been trying to ascertain
the improvements in the way of buil¬
dings that are going on, and those
that will be begun soon, in our town.
Doubtless we have failed to learn of
some of these, for we have had little
time to be out on the streets. The
houses mentioned below may be con¬
sidered a certainty’, and others will
probably be built soon.
The three-room cottage of Squire
Lee Cook in the rear of his residence
is nearing completion. It will be a
nice, cosy little bouse.
Mr. W. A. Matbeson is having
erected between his dwelling and
that of Postmaster Scott a neat four-
room cottage.
Messrs Payne, Mutheson and Ma¬
bry have ordered the brick for a new
store house. It will he in the res r of
their bttsmess houses ami «. 1

p eted will he occupied by Mr.
Matbeson, who proposes to run a first-
class dry goods establishment.
will .^ r begin ’ *. *, the work l’ of a ew , r/ 8
his residence . This will be almost
the same tiling as building a new
house, for Mr. Wright intends to
change the appearance of his domi¬
cile into a very different looking and
much handsomer ove.
Mr. M. T. Rollins has decided to
a large »„d hat„l»o,ne resi-,
not hr from the round-house.
It will contain ten or twelve rooms,
we hear, and work on it will begin
very soon.
Mr. Reid Davis believes that there
is money in building houses to rent
in Toccoa. Oil his lot near the resi-
dence of his father, Mr. T. S. Davis,
he has just completed a neat cottage,
nearly finished another house of the
satne sort and will ttegm m a few
da vs to construct a pretty residence

appreciated paper to dr >p au idea
for the many correspou loots that
furnish the news fur the numerous
readers. And this is done in the spirit
of kindness and not in t lie way f
criticism.
I have been noticing for some
tune the articles furnished by the
lied Hill, Tugalo, Clayton and other
correspondents, and it seems to me
that they are determined to rob the!
press of that part of the news : tems
that belong to the editors. A news¬
paper correspond© it should deal
with facts an 1 problems of in terest to
the readers, aul not numerate a long
list of local items tint interest none.
For example, the “Tugalo Hustler”
says that ‘‘Mr. Will Wheeler visited
J. VV. Wheeler last week.” Now
suppose that Mr. Wheeler did go
visiting last week; who cares?
does not interest me, and I am sure
it does not interest a single reader
of The N ew •S (unless Wheeler was
anxious to see his narr.e in j riut.)
My friend, the te.icher, the preach¬
er and the piess are to educate, cul
¬
tivate, civilize and revolutionize the
people of the entire world. And
do you suppose that those items
about Wheeler and that fish story
will add one thing to the edu¬
cational interest of your community?
“TheVashti” man from Red Hill
tells us that they are working the
