HOWDY '
With this issue of The TiMES^ve
r
launch the paper among old friends.
In the infancy of Demorest, 1890,
\vith less than seventy-five inhabi¬
tants, we established the first pa¬
per in Demorest, and ve it
the name of The Demorest
Times. The paper was circulated
extensively throughout the north
and west and did more for Demo
rest then than anything else has
since.
After a time The Times passed
into other hands and was run till
August, 1892, when Wtfit its owner
moved the printing to an¬
other city and the paper ceased to
exhist. We liked the name then ;
we like it pow. So after a lapse of
two years The Times is revived and
is ready to do battle for the good of
Demorest, of Habersham county
and of Georgia.
' The Times will be independent
in politics—and for that matter, in¬
dependent in all things—striving
to do the most good that within its
power lies. ,
Personally I am a Democrat,
but it behooves a country paper—
which seeks the support of the
members of all political parties—
to remain free and untrammeled
from party bias and * 0 mm t ^ ie
best principles q£$K lT;the« parties,
and give the ne\va;,as j.t is, and flap
garbled with partyuSn. We win
be found always fighting for the
enforcement of prohibition and its
attributes as is laid down in the
the Charter of the City of Demorest,
which we think is due all citizens
who have-made their homes here.
* We are in favor , of tariff
reform, the expansion of the
currency and silver to be put on an
• equality with gold; we are for a
Habersham county man for gov
• ernor and a democrat for president.
Bear in mind this paper is for the
masses and its columns are open to
all its fhtrons for a fair discussion
of all public questions of interest.
With no foe to fear or friends
te frown and the kind indulgence
of its patrons, The Times will ever
strive to be a welcome visitor to
every household of this section of
the Sunny Southland.
- DEMOREST AS A RESORT
No place in .all this mountain
country is -more beautifully sit
uated and inhabited by better people
than-Demorest. Here one may find
health, which he drinks in her clear
cool spring *nd rCCrea

cleUs upon the finest roads in

of rowing on Lake Deiriorest.

There is always a market and
always a fair price.
•‘Then, too, land which will pro¬
duce apples in as large quantities
and of as fine a flavor and color as
can be grown in Ohio, Mich¬
igan, or New York can be
bought here for from $2 to $10 per
acre—according to location. We
have now in the neighborhood of
Demorest more, than 100 acres
newly set out and in a few years
Habersham cfcunty will be noted
for appjjftr-peach, strawberry pear, raspberry
and diilture, as it is
now noted for the culture of grapes.
A CURIOUS SPLIT
A somewhat curious division
presents itself in one Presbyterian
and one Methodist Church of Cleve¬
land, Ohio, and the seceders
have organized what they call Pro¬
hibition Churches.
The devision was not caused by
aggressive work among the temper
ance members, but that element
wanted to make temperance a part
of the church service.
The young people of the^ Christ¬
ian Endeavor in one case and the
Epworth League in the other were
the prime cause of the disruptron.
The Methodist people organized
as the First Prohibition church of
Cleveland on the line of the new
church federation, while the Pres¬
byterians organized a congrega¬
tional church, incorporating into
thqjr covenant an agreement to ab
staip from the use of intoxicating
and to use all proper means
to discourage the liquor traffic.
The difficulty which caused the
split of these two churches grew
out of the opposition of the pastors
to the position of the young people
on the temperance question, and,
whatever may be said of the lack
of wisdom in the pastors, the build¬
ing up of large societies of young
people, acting somewhat independ¬
ently of the church itself, has
placed them in a position to dictate
to the church in matters that should
be left to older heads to settle.
COXYLSM A
That the attempt of ‘Gen.’ Coxey
and his co-adjutors to march on
Washington* and present “a pe¬
tition in boots” was unwise, ill*
timed and in .every way preposter¬
ous, has been made duly apparent.
That the arrest of Coxey ahd Brown
for the trivial offense of “walking
jin the grass and carrying a flag,”
and their being fined and im
prisoned, was an equal .mistake
seems equally plain. The love of
notoriety is exceedingly 1 strong ip
the average man, and when pro¬
jects are undertaken with this end
in view, they are better discounted
by being severely unnoticed. The
populists of the Massillon,' O., dis¬
trict have nominated Coxy for con¬
gress and he has written a letter
accepting the nomination, dated
“U. S. Jail, Washington.” He
evidently wants notoriety.
- PROUD OF HER CITIZENS
Demorest-has reason to feel proud
of her citizens. Last week Capt.
J. F. Cleghorn was nominated by
the Prohibition party of Wisconsin
for governor. This is an honor
that comes to the captain unsought,
but, nevertheless, it is an office
which, if elected, the captain will
611 honor and di ^ nit v ' ** he is

Wisconsin and is and

The swimming season is now
well open and there are parties in
the lake every day. The water is
warm and pleasant and a swim
these hot days is quite a luxury.
With the addition of the stone
wall on the South side of the Park
it has become a very beautiful place
with one exception—those from roots the
and stumps that were dug
lakelet should be removed.
It is a' strange thing that the
city will allow her property to
go to rack and ruin as. the bath
house has. If never has been com¬
pleted. Why not fix it up and
take care of it?

We are greatly pleased to pre¬
sent the name of Hon. W. W,
Kollock in another column as a
candidate for Representative.
Without disparagement to the
other gentlemen who are also can¬
didates, we think Mrj Kollock will
make, if nominated and elected,
one of the best representatives old
Habersham has had in late years.
Mr. Kollock is ciofeely identified
with the farmers of the county and
is calculated in his attainments to
well represent us, besides we know
the man to be honest and sincere
in his convictions and will vote,
every time as he thinks will be to
the best interests of his constitu¬
ents. Mr. Kollock is an honorable
and capable man and should have
the votes of all Democrats at the
coming primary. —f

Mr. W. A. Fowler has purchased
an outfit for a new paper in
Demorest. We hope he will have
success. .' Mr. Fowler, although a
young man, is old in the news¬
paper business, and tve may expect
a good paper. |'
The above is from the Demorest
correspondent of the Taccoa
News. We hope The Times is as
good as our friend has anticipated.
II is amusing how verdant some
youths are in this county.. Just hear
this from the Clarkesville Adver¬
tiser :
Pink Jones has taken offense at
the statement of our Demorest cor
respondent, stating thatte Ciarkes
ville lady says goo3s in Clarkesville. are cheaper
in Demorest than
Pink says that the goods the lady
spoke of were’ second hand, and
were of course cheaper than the new
ones in Clarkesville. \
1 daresay there was never a
secon d-hand piece of goods in
gt » Hut it rema inV true*
that people week come _ to .

A Birth‘Day Party.
A few friends gathered at the
residence of Mr. A. A. congratulate Campbell
Monday evening Campbell, to his father,
Rev. D. A.
upon having reached his seven¬
ty-second birth-day, and wish
him many returns of the same.
Along about 6 o’clock,-wheh the
inner man 'yearns for supper, the
hostess invited the company to the
dining room, where they ate heart¬
ily of the gobd. thfngs prepared that and
we verily believe every one at
table wished Rev. CambeU Would
have a birthday every week.
The company and supper were
both a surprise to Mr. of Campbell, birth
who had not thought his
day.
