Stottoa Dittos. FRIDAY, April 7, 1893. 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. 1 ... those who . . . . . * object ‘ t»« bonds . build ... school , . house . . to a new in thisqdace can suggest “roinethimr i.et-.et’- in ll.e way of a ..tan, should . , , do , ,. if they , , do , tln> , . so. can t they . should . 1 , 1 hold , 11 their - peace. 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. 4 J 1 persons who owe me are 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. HONOR ROLL. T'lie following pupils of the Toc¬ coa Public school are on the honor roll for March : Lizzie Jarrett Earnest Deaton 99. Annie Craig 100 . Sadie Smith 99. Eva Payne 99. Laura Ramsay 99. Ella Maiheson 97. Metle Capps 98. A lex Craig 99 Mamie Owen 98. Sallie Strickland 95. Nellie Bright 95. Willard Owen 95. Fred Coe 1 ) Owen Grace Stein 97. 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.

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 •A « esl *■> and rJ . 50 ) adies . : guaranteed. 111,6 , C "L P»'t Edwards k Danck.

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 been given away to tbo*^ prom¬ ised to sell to the factory the vegeta¬ bles raised from^these seed. The Toccoa Canning company has already received an order from At¬ lanta for a large shipment of goods. Owing to the rush of busi¬ ness several days will elapse bwfore the order can be filled.

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 o <-111 in the Toccoa II >tel to a wail ,w,r ^ ""i -n.-rw.teJ ... tl e.r 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 those who Advertised Accounts. The following amotmt*, if not settled before that date, wi l be sold at public outcry in '**' R. A. Brown, Wlntcborsc.
