LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
Ar.d Other Timely Topics Briefly
Chronicled.
Talk bonds and vote for bonds.
This real spring weather is simply
delightful.
(apt. W ilson is having his place
ini loscd with a new picket fence.
Toccoa is showing a commendable
sprit of enterprise that will redound
to her future prosperity.
This weather is calculated to
awaken the desire to angle that has
1 iin dormant in the fisherman’s breast
for several months.
Warranty deeds, bomls for titles,
n ortgage notes and other blanks f or
sale at Thk News office.
Tiie quarterly report of the Toc^
ct a Banking company will bo found
in another column. As usual the
In iik makes a good showing.
Bear in mind that The News job
t flice turns out first class YAvork as
cl eaplv as you can have the same
work done in city offices.
Marshal Jackson has a f >rce of
bands at work on the streets.
r l hough not in bail condition the
si reels can be unproved by the prop¬
er kind of work.
Dirt has been broken on the site
ft r the new brick store of Matlieaon,
.Vabryand Payne. The work of
1 uilding will be pushed right along.
Wanted — COO cords of tan bark.
Toccoa Leather Co.
The town council and the mar¬
shals of Toccoa seem determined to
make it warm for “blind tigers.”
This is right. We don’t need any
animals of this kind here.
It* is impossible for one small editor
in a large town like this to find out
every thing that happens. When you
know any news drop in nnd tell us
about it.
Within the last few days vegeta¬
tion lias made rapid strides towards
leafing, and numerous flowers are
blossoming. It begins to look as if
spring has come.
■Woik on the new residence of Mr.
M. '1'. Rollins, near the furniture
torv. lias been begun. When com-
dieted it will contain ten rooms and
will be a handsome house.

The weather is propitious and the
moon is just right for the planting
t)f spring advertisements. The soil of
The News has been thoroughly pre¬
pared and is peculiarly adapted to
the successful cultivation of “ads.”
The necessity of a larger school
house here is too apparent for con¬
tradiction. ft is simply a question
iis to how the money shall bo ob¬
tained. A better plan than issuing
bonds for this purpose we do not
know.
The Hartwell Sun seems to he
much exercised because the Kicka-
poo Medicine company failed to
avail its-*!f of the columns of that pa-
per as an advertising medium.
The Sun should not allow small
things to disturb its equanimity.
Toccoa should have a base ball
team. During the summer months
games of ball would furnish amuse¬
ment to spectators as well as to play-
ers. It takes much practice to make
good players, and the sooner a club
is organized the better it will be¬
come.
YVe have been infafnied that it
thought by some that the editor
wrote the article (leaded “To Corre-
spondents,” published in odr last
sue. This is incorrect. “Cotopaxi"
lives in Clarkesville. A d
here we remark that,
the article in question contained some
good suggestions, ti e editor does
not coincide with “Cotopaxi*’ in all
his views.

Vised to settle at once and save costs
of suit. C. I?. Mii.ler
People raised in this section do
not appreciate the beauties of tia vi-
ml scenery with which they are sur-
rounded. If the charms of the lofty
a nd picturesque mountains, the stnil
ing valleys, the massive rocks, the
clear, rippling mountain streams, the
famous Toccoa falls and
other attractions that greet the trav¬
eler in the vicinity of Toccoa were
known, people would flock here from
several stales to view these, and at
the same time breathe
mountain ail, drink our pare, cool,
freestoue water and enjoy life.
Mr. J. J. Bright has made
bond and sent it on to Washington.
| He is looltir.g for his commission
every day, aud will probably be in¬
stalled as postmaster next week.
The p09t office will be in the front
| of Bright, McJunkin k Co’s, store,
i and will be supplied with an entirely
new outfit.
A possessory warrant case was
tried beforeb'quire I.eeCook Monday
night. Many spectators were pres-
ei»t, and they enjoyed the
questioning of one of the
by Coi. Smith. This witness got very
much “kerliummuxed,” and
questions ho would mop his face ?
down which the sweat came in briny
streams, with a handkerchief. A
Mrs. Wood, who was bringing suit
to recover some property disposed of
^ l,er husband who has gone to parts
unknown, received a verdict for
portion of her claim.

Mayor s Court.
In the mayor’s court Suturdav af¬
ternoon two men appeared before
his honor. Both were old men whose
hair and beard were whitened by
the frost of vears, and both were
charged with being intoxicated upon
1 lie streets.
The first one who stood up was a
resident of this county, and in a
maudlin tone hesaid lie was “perfect¬
ly vvillbig to acknowledge it if he
had done anything wrong, and beg
pardon.” He admitted llat he was
“a little off.’’ lie was fined §2
and Cl ■ ts, which he succeeded in pay
ing. Ti e < < In-r nun was a stnal’ >

thanks when his J toy was turned to
-
sadness by a shout in his ear of 3
and costs. , He declared he wasn’t
going to pay out any money, so Mar¬
shal .Jiin Price took the ancient
“North Ca’iina boy” in tow and lan¬
ded him iu tne lockup. It was the
marshal’s inteutu n to work his priso¬
ner on the streets five days, but the
man was found to he a physical wreck
and he was released on Sunday. He
claimed to he drawing a pension as
a Union soldier, and had money.
April Fooied.
“There aint goin to be no school,
Joe. V\ e’ve done tied up the bell aud
nailed up the door.”
The editor heard the above remarks
made by twosma’l boys to one who
was approaching, early Friday mor¬
ning last.
It seems that some of the pupils ot
the public school decided that, as
April first would not come cn a
school day. they had h right toobserve
the day before, just as Christmas is
celebrated on Monday when the day
comes on Sunday.
The statement made to Joe was
strictly true. The bell had been se¬
curely tied up, the doors and win-
Hows had been nailed, and upon the
school house were pasted notices to
the effect that Prof. Alexander had
given holiday. This was the condi-
tion of affairs when the teachefs ar-
rived.
Now Prof. Alexander is yery fond
of a joke, when it is perpetrated
upon some one else other than him-
self, and he decided to turn the tables
on the boys. After some trouble he
succeeded in gaining an entrance in-
to the house and in ringing the bell,
The boys were afraid to sta 3 * a wav
while school was in session, so one
by one they sneaked to the school
house.
The professor spotted the ivould-
be April foolers, and sat up with
them during playtime and after
school.
The boys in question seem cou-
vinced that it is not a good plan to be
“previous” in observing All-fools

CANNING FACTORY.
H. M. Payne, president, \V. J.
Hayes, vice-president, C. II. Dance,
secretary, and W. R.Bruce, treasurer.
These are the officers of the Toccoa
Canning company, and the board of
directors is as follows: H. M. Payne,
J. L. Martin, B. P. Brown, !r..
Jeff Davis,C, II. Dance. These are
all experienced and successful busi¬
ness men—just the men to manage
an enterprise like the canning facto¬
r t-
The directors are on the lookout
now for a suitable location for the
factory. As Soon as a building lot
can be obtained work will be pushed
forward rapidly. It is tire intention
of the directors to be ready to begin
canning by June 1st, so &s to get the
benefit of the blackberry and htickle—
crops.
The factory lYtll ^ive employment
to about twemty«fi?e or thirty hands,
and yvill furnfsb an occupation to
some who are unable to find stealy
'
work elsewhere.
A good many tornatD teed nave

Fined.
C. R. Miiler, a grocery merchant
of this place, was fined $25 by May¬
or Hates Monday. The charge
against Miller was selling whiskey.
He was dissatisfied with this decision
and appealed to the council, but the
mayor’s action was sustained by that
body, and Miller had to add to the
town treasury just .one-quarter of a
hundred dollars. This he did very
unwillingly, for he is much exercised
over the matter and stoutly asserts
h s innocence.

Just t utside of the incorporate
limits of our town, on the Clarkes¬
ville road, is a house whose inmates
Inve borne an unsavory reputation.
All of these are missing, and there
is no grieving among the good cit.
izens on this account.
For some time there have been
complaints from those who live near
^ ie house in question Tn order to
ma ^e out a ease against these par-
t ' es Marshal Gribble strolled out on
the Clarkesville road Sunday. He
was not disappointed; but in order to
make a dead sure thing of it he took
Deputy Sheriff Kellar with him Sun¬
day night, and the two secreted
themselves near the house. The
inmates were having a high old time,
the noise of their revelry being heard
afar.
Monday warrants were sworn out
against Bettie and Polly Smith,
Liz Chapman and Gordon Gray.
The three girls were charged with
misdemeanor, and Gray with draw¬
ing a pistol on a man at the house
of said females.
Tl,« women were confined in a

As they struck t ne street each
(•male reached tip and took off her
headgear and made a dash for
liberty at n speed that waft wonder-
f u l. As they disappeared in the
darkness the rear portion** of their
agitated garments made a popping
noise like the weather signal flag in
a March wind. Gray, too, escaped.
Toccoa is the better off on account
if the departure of this quartette.
On Currahee.
The notice that there would he
preaching on Curraheo mountain
.^«>r:da\ attracted a good iuhhv to
this lofty s[« t. Toccoa sent out a
lelegwtioi, of fifteen or twenty, and
there were nearly a hundred others
from tiie country adjacent. That all
‘liese were qu ,e desirous of atteu-
• !i>ig religious services, was proved
y the distance they had come, and
b\ their willingness to climb the tug¬
ged mountain. It was therefore a
source of much regret to the crowd
to learn through a grape-vine special
that Patsou Good and Songster How¬
ler would not be able to fill in eir ap~
pointment, as they deemed it their
duty to remain in South Carolina
and continue the good work they had
begun there.
Some of the crowd seemed to con¬
sider it proper generally to worship, anyway.
These were found in
pairs in secluded* places.
A magnificent view of the surroun¬
ding country can be obtained from
the summit of Currahee. The dim
outlines of giant mountains many
miles distant bound the landscape on
the north amltfrest, and forests of
pines that appear like a dark lino of
smoke, extend as far as the eye can
reach in other directions. The scene
that is spread out below looks like a
picture. The beatui'ul Gitrrahee
vaHey, with the Broad fiver flowing
swiftly through it, reminds one of a
green ribbon with a serpentine silver
stripe in the center. The farms ap¬
pears like reddish specks, and the
whole scene is pleasing. And old
Currahee^ with its mammoth rocks, Hs
abrupt cliffs and its rugged sides
fringed with oaks and pines, is very
picturesque and attractive.
Enster was visited pleasantly Currahee. spent by
