(Lotto* fttfos. FRIDAY, April 28,1893. LOCAL HAPPENINGS. And Other Timely Toyrir» Briefly •ClirCnialed. , There will be a, union singing at Vdiiloh ehiAcb, heaf- thib plftce, 6n toext Sunday. Some of our citiiretis are reaping the benefit of eaHy gardening. Rad¬ ishes are ripe. Toccoa has more serenading par^ ties to the square inch than any other j town of our acquaintance ! Marshal Gribble lias a good nose for “blind tigers.” May be continue to trail them up. There is no time to lose; work for ♦.lie welfare of Toccoa by inducing other people to vote for bonds. Every man in Toccoa who lias proper patriotism and pride will vote for bonds, if lie sees the question lik'a we do. Can Toccoa afford to take a step that will retard tier rapid progress? ]f the citizens fail to vote for bonds this will be dene. ’I lie Baptist Sunday-School will have its annual picnic soon. The time and place will probably be de* tided upon next Sunday. We don’t say the Lord can’t make a finer flavor than that of che straw¬ berry, but we do say if he ever has done so we are not aware of it. Th« furniture factory shut down £er«cal days this w-eek to make some repairs, on the furnace, The hands have been enjoying themselves in the meantime. The revival at the Methodist church elosad on last Fridsy. W hile ?t resulted in no Accessions to the church the menbersh'p seemed bene¬ fited by the services. All are cordially invited to attend \be protracted meetings now being field in the Presbyterian church. Services in the afternoon at. 4 o'clock and at, night at a quarter past eight. The young men of the town have Hbout decided to organize r. Ibise till! club a 1111 enliven the tedium of sum¬ mer with game*. There are sufii- bient men and boys bore to furnish several teams. Despite the chilly winds some flower yards in town ;»re beginning in look attractive. Roses are adding variety of pleasing coloring and ex¬ quisite fragraheetd the surroundings of many homes here. \ J Just received a new lot of 83.00 84.00 and 85.00 Douglas shoes—the best shoe on earth. Try a pair. W. M. Kn.no. Our correspondent “‘Jotopaxi’ has Hunoved from this county to Misssis- ► ippi. Though distant fie will still bontribute to our columns, ar.d Ins letters w ill be read with interest by many of our readers, We shall lie glad to hear from him regularly. Besides more religion, there is H'othing that ot»r town needs so badly m it does good school houses. As a protracted meeting is now going on here and a vote on the school bouse hurttion will he laker, nrA fibh- day, we are hopeful of oor.d tesulls. It seems tl Iii tie “tdii d tiger’ business in town ln.s been conduc t»d, partly, by those u.iot <> hot i\e here. A few more wI olesome lessons from the Mayors court will have a tei tlency to make them ?h\ of Toe- coa, if thev do not discontinue their operations here. The colored base ImliistS of our town completey w'rpbd up the earth tvftff the Clarkesville club Saturday, the score beutg ()4 to 1. 1 he Toe- coa darkies say the 0htrkesv*He boys Can’t play even a little !>»»% and the k*nre card bears testimony to this Assertion. For severa 1 (Kys past the weather has been unfavorable to the of vegetation. A cold w iml has been blowing most of the time and frost has been common in low places. It seems, though, that little damage has resulted from the frost. The fhiit prospects are still good. There is no fairer, more feasible or easier way of buildtttg the kind of school houses Toccoa neetfs than by Issuing bonds for this purpose. L The ■Uto,™,,! , t»* needed , , I »«.J .merest . , on the bornfs is a mere triflb, and a portion of this expense will be borne by tnany w ho are now children. A series of meetings is being con- ducted at the Presbyterian church. Since Wednesday the services have been held in the afternoon and at night. Rev. T. P. Cleveland, of Atlanta, is assisting Rev. L. A. Simp¬ son, and the meetings are well at- ibtided and results. The colored people need have no doubts about a l:iaw school house being built for thettY if bohds ai-e is¬ sued. The order for t?>e election j postively states that bonds are to be . issued for this purpose, partly, and the men Who will have the matter in, charge can be trusted. Mr. William Tittle, who was placed in the Clatkesville jail last week, in default of bom?, On a charge of aiding two prisoners escape from the calaboose here, is at liberty. His bond was made by his fathe'r-ih-law and a brother of the latter, the Messrs. English, Gor. don Gray was less fortunate, and is still in prison. The first ripe strawberry that we have heard of in this section was re¬ ported by Mr. Sant Davis, who lives two miles from town. It was pulled from his l>ed on the ?0th. On Sat¬ urday Mr. Davis brought to our office a berry nearly ready for eating. Mr. Davis is a successful raiser of tliis delicious fruit, and rfi^kes money every spring selling strawberries. We have just received our spring good-*; they are the prettiest in town. Brows & Mitchell. ”e publish this week a rhyme written by a man who is in jail at Clarkesville. It posesses no great merit, but was written under pecu¬ liar circumstances and is a rath * re markable mixture of philosophy and pathos. \Ve may not “shed a sym¬ pathetic tear,” but we are sorry for Mr. Wyman and his two companions even though they deceive to be where they are. Chas. Palmer, who was captured by Marshal Gribb’e a few weeks ago, doing the “blind tiger” act, and lodged iii Clarkesville jail, is missing, much to the sorrow of Mr. Miles Rollins; Palmer was released from prison by Mr, Rollins becoming his bond^matq ahd since then has been working for the latt’eh. Mr. Rol - lins is grieving to the tune of about 850. Some real estate in town has changed hands recently. M'fiyor Ilayes Jias purchased the prnperU of Mr. E. L. Goode known ns Goole- vitlc, consisting of a ( hotise and lot, which brought ?^j 000 and two vacant lots llint sold for 8500 and 8370 res¬ pectively, Mr. Goode then bought of Rev. I*. S. Whitman the Mann I lace, paving 81100 for the same. Our article last week in reference totHb, Prather bridge has drawn from Ordinary Hill an explanation. Mr. Ilill was in town Saturday, and to a Nkws man he said tFiAt only one inan had ever approached hint in reference to the bridge. To him he expressed a willingness to look after the matter, lie had written to the SouMi Carolina authorities to appoint a day to meet h’lit and come to a deefsam in reference to the bridge, but has never heard from them, Mr. Hiil seems^ disposed to have the bridge pelt in older; and we hope that this will be done soon.

Mr. Walden and family have come to reside in i cji ten, rrd me | lea?- antly located in the house formerly occupied by Mr, Dixon. Mr. Wal¬ den is connected with the R. t$- D. road. Painted been. Last w'c?k thera was seen on cm streets a tall negro man of exceeding blackness, conspicuous for the tall, sleek hat, green spectacles and know¬ ing look that he wore; He profess¬ ed to be a doctor* and made some marvelous statements to his as ability to cure ti e aches and other disorder, to which the Hurt?an frame is said to be the ungrateful heir. No oppor¬ tunity was given him here, however, to test his skill. Late oiie night this unbleached citizen stopped Marshal Gribble on the streets ami requested him to ar¬ rest Henry DeterSon. He said that he had escorted a dusky maiden to church, and after the services Henry, by fcrcej “tuck liis gal away from him; i - . drawed <♦. , a i kntre j* P"' linn an shuck , , on his list in his (the doctor’s) face.” The case was brought up before the mayor, and Henry was fined 82 * and costs. " Immediately t after the trial .... this ebeny-hued individual who professed to be a disciple of Aesculapius; put his number ll’s to rapid ush and was not long its. string South Carolina scKf.

Palmer, of -ecent “blind tiger” notoriety. ,. , Davidson admitted that he had !et Palmer have the “bug juice,” for iccommodation, bat said the fiery luid was not his. lie vows that he will not be so accommodating again for less than 850. CAPTURED A COAT. Ben. Dooley who is a weiT-known lawless character in this section, made i narrow escape from the clutches of he law last Saturday; Doolsb lives among the mountains, three or four miles from here, in a settlement that has an unenviable rep- itatiou. lie is a sly old coon, and though about 60 years of age it is said that an ordinary dog can’t catch him. He has served one term in the penitentiary, and deserves to spend a few more years hi stripes, if reports ire true, Deputy She’fitr Kellftr has been on the lookout F()rl*bf?Iey lately, a;d while hiding near Ben’s house his man came near. Mr. Ivqllur started for him, and Dooley tua^'e for the swam \ The deputy was so close behind him. though, that he jumped into a branch that has high banks on -ach side. It was difficult to get out, and he stood arid begged the offieer not to “bother old Ben.” Mr. Kellar ordered him to come out, but he made a break down the branch, and itt trying anti to ascend the bank slipped fell. Kellar grabbed him by the coat sleeve; and a lively tussle ensued, which lasted until Dooley succeeded in slipping out of Ins coat and escaping, leaving the garment in the deputy’s grasp. f *r. Kellar hasn’t yet despaired of capturing Dcoley. In Clarkesville Jail.
