The senior editor of this paper spent
a portion of Saturday and Sunday most
P Jeasan Hy with his children and other
relatives in W hite county. We enjoy-
ed the grand natural scenery and other
surroundings to the fullest extent in

mountain roa<1 which wa* new to us
both ways—the Scenery being
picturesquely grand and
leading one almost involuntarily to
“look look through f hroue-h Vatnr* Nature un up to t,. xr™/,,- Nature’s u
Ood. Of course, being somewhat of a
naturally timorous deposition, we had
to have some one along with us to keep
the “boogers” off and help us enjoy the
atura grandeur by which . _ we were
surrounded.
We heard too^fgrd a one on two of

visited several houses, where,of course,
there ljved one of the “sweet sixteens”

said: ‘Well, boys, I am very much
obliged to you for the serenade, lguess

We take the liberty ot publishing the
following private letter from our old
friend, Mr. J. Ii. Bentley, who was hurt
by his horse falling on him last week,
in order that his many friends may
know that he is again “right side up.”
Eiutur News, Toccoa, Ga I see you have
noted ruy little Accident with my young co.t
on Tuesday last.
While not bad hurt, yet I am Jbruised up
some, hut up and on the colt again- It“bmt”
me home all right. It was frightened at a
hoy and bicycle, that is all. T his is three
times in my “chequered” life that a turn of;

Sells Brothers’ Circus an«l Double
Menagerie.
Sells Brothers’ circus will exhibit at
Gainesvil'e Tuesday, Oct. 15.
The show this season is the largest
traveling. Twelve ter.ts are required
to contain the various parts of this
mammoth exhibition. Sells Brothers*
are veteran showmen and know
the pe0 pi e wan t. For nearly a quarter
of a century have they entered to the
people of America anjl Ausf'fnMa..
aim is to excel in presenting to tbfe
public an exhibition clean and insruct-
ive, and a better than others offer. A
grani free street parade will take place
at ten o’clock on the morning o,f the
exhibition, and it will give our citizens
an opportunity to witness a gigantic
pageant, after which two performances
will be given—afternoon at 2 and eve-
ning at 8; doors open one hour earlier.

"We Oppose It.
The last grand jury recommended
that our Representative in the Legis-
lature should endeavor to secure the
passage of an act by that body provid-
ing for a Board of Commissioners of
roads and revenues for Habersham
4\ hile we are willing- to admit that
in some of the larger and more P°P U *
Ions counties such a law may operate to
the benefit of the people, we do not
lieve that such would be the case here
The fees and perquisites arising from
the office of Ordinary in the county of
Habersham are quite small, but by al-
lowing him to attend to the general
county business it affords him a liveli¬
hood. Deprive him of this, however,
by ^ le creation of the proposed
and you would so reduce the emoiu-
men t s of his office as to render it high-
, y improbable that we could secure a
good man who would be willing to ac-
cent the rosifon of Ordinary.
That to the vfaj it strike, us, a. least,
a d »e ,.- «ouW mi i,i hn l« glad o-i.i.i to to hiivp have a full
and free exp.e^sion ot the views J t e
people on the subject, and invite
to give us their ideas for publication in

We shall probably have more to say
on this subject.
