bank building, and with the bright
light* bands playing etc. one would
have thought himself in an ideal
summer*resort that night. The
4th of July added to the weeks
glory, and altogether there has
been enough to Keep the young
people on the go the. Whole week.
Prof. Reynolds, director of the
county institute, gave a lecture last
night on the subject of “Education
id Georgia,” at the bank hall to la
large and appreciative audience.
Hon. W. W. Kollock dropt in
on the Times on the 4th and reports
the outlook favorable to his elec¬
tion. Mr. Kollock has a dean
record and is known to everybody
in Habersham county, having come
to this county in i8so,and has been
with it's interests since.
Mr. Kollock will be in Demorest
next Thursday and will tell. the
people how he stands on all the
questions of the day. Mr. Kollock
will make a representative of
which Demorest will feel proud receive in
helping to/sleet, should he
the nomination.
Mr. kobt. E. L. Frankum, of
Soque, made us a pleasant call this
week. Mr. Frankum is the first
graduate of the Demorest Normal
School—-that is, he finished his
course in the Demorest school, but
he got his diploma from the Ada,
O., Normal College. Mr. Fran¬
kum was in attendance at the
county institute which was held
here this week.
The lawn social at the Lqkeview
Monday night was a very pleasant and
affair. The night verandas was warm and
balmy, and the par¬
lors were cool and pleasant. The
citisens of Demorest were well rep¬
resented. Young couples and under wan¬

older folks occupied the parlors and

Last Monday etening there was

lake, enjoying a ride on the steamer
Bates. They brought their own
band. On leaving one was heard
to remark that “Mr, Timberlake,
(the manager of the Cliff House,
Tallulah Falls) ought to have a
hotel here. This is the finest loca¬
tion for a summer resort in
Georgia.” ;
Dr. Mack,a Presbyterian evangi

Methodist Church to a large con¬
gregation. The doctor explained
whyVe keep the first day of the
week holy instead of the seventh.
His logic was good and his refer¬
ence to the scriptures to prove his
assertions were received with rapt
attention. He said that Joshua
commanded the sun to stand still
and “it stood still for about the
speceof one whole day.'* He took
another quotation from Iaaiah whcn
God made the surf cast its shadow

doctor claimed, that a whole day

w It is^Ke province of the newspa
per to give the hews as it is and
thus are we forced to print the story
of Demorest’s first murder.
About 7 530 o’clock on the even
ing of July 4th, two sharp reports,
like those of a pistol, rang out on
the evening sa* air, and those that were
looking Roe Waldrup, an em

Mr. Mose Franklin, Wald¬ was
standing within two feet of

Englishes ran upon Waldrup and
without a word of warning com¬
menced shooting and cutting at
him with the effect as above de¬
scribed.
The Englishes both got away,
and went to their homes, where
Jack was arrested about midnight
by Mayor Bangs, Marshall Nix,
Sheriff Fuller, and others. It is
reported that Jack claims that his
brother Joe did the shooting. It is
generally believed that Joe shot
Waldrup and Jack cut him.
The coroner’s jury, J. S, Adams
foreman, returned a verdict in
which Joe English was found guil¬
ty of murder and Jack English an
accessory.
The Fourth to Demorest
The fourth was Red Letter day in
Demorest. The early train brought
the first contingent of pleasure
seekers to town at about daylight
and from that time on there was a
constant ing in from stream all auarters. of humanity The pour¬ band
discoursed good music and the
steamboat, 4 boats, etc
row e e
furnished the amusement. There
were three speeches, Chas. Bass, of
Clarkesville; Rev. A. J. Ball, of
Taccoa and Prof. A. J. McGuire.
They were ail good and well re¬
ceived. In the afternoon there
was a bicycle race with three start¬
ers but only two finished, Mr, Mc¬
Connell, of Cornelia coming in
first. The race was run from the
head’of Georgia strept, near the
railroad, down past the brick stores
and the post-office and around the
boulevard to the dam. Time 3^m.
Had it not been for the sad tragedy
late In the day, there would not
have been anything to mar the
pleasure of the otherwise perfect
fourth.
The crowd is variously esti¬
mated and from what we can gath¬
ered,a conservative estimate is 3,000
people.
