Hon.WJ. DEMOREST

Will Be in Demorest During the
Rev. A. A. Salford has received
a letter front Hon. W. Jenning
Demorest, in reply to his asking
him when he would come to Dem¬
orest and the following letter was
received:
“New York, July 12.
Mr. A. A. Salford, Drinorest.
“Dear Sir-—I intended to leave
the matter of date to your discre¬
tion, and would do so now, and
like yourself, would be pleased to
have an early reply, as it is not ma¬
terial to me about the date except I
may know in advance. As to the
gold medal contest,this would be a
source of great gratification to me,
personally, but we must have the
requisite number ( 6 ) would in ^ie con¬
test, as otherwise it create
dissatisfaction elsewhere.
Yours from contest to conquest,
“W. Jenning Demorest.”
J. C. Rogers & Co. have had a
stairway built from the street to
their ice cream parlor above their
store.
The hop came off as advertised
at the Lake Demorest Inn last Fri¬
day evening. Guests from Cor¬
nelia and Porter Mills were
present, beside Demorest folks.
It'was a very enjoyable affair. Ice
cream and cake were the refresh¬
ments.
Ho w many papers edn you sub¬
scribe , for during Chautauqua?
It is aimed to give you all the Demo¬
rest news and all important news
of the outside world in a condensed
form beside giving a fine and com¬
plete epitome of the day’s work
and programme for the following
day.
Prof. J. S. Jennings will open
the Normal school August 6. The
prospects are good for a -large at¬
tendance. Professor Jennings has
made this a life work and is build¬
ing up a school that will ere long
do great credit to Demorest.
Jennings is the right man in the
right place.
Pink Carpenter thinks that if he
oould have secured the services of
a dentist for his steed he might
have survived to the good old age
of three score and ten, but he sue
cumed, he thinks, at the honorable
age of 49 years, 10 months and 11
days. Requiescat in pace.

of the season taken into con¬
sideration in mercantile circles,
The Dxmorkst Times is doing
remarkably well. New subscrip
tions are taken every dsy, and we
bo#n w ith job work
since we have boon prepared to do
it. We do nothing but first
work and are willing to submit
prices with anybody.
There was quite a party headed
by Mr. T. W. Webb, at the Demo¬
rest Inn last Saturday night. The
party was from Jefferson, Ga.,

We hear that there will be an ef
fort made to have a Demorest gold
medal contest under the auspices of
W. C. T. U., at our chautauqua as¬
sembly, August next. W. Jen¬
nings Demorest in a recent letter
said, “Such a contest will be a
source of great pleasure to me.”
During chautauqua a day will be
observed as Demorest Day, and
Mr. Demorest, in whose honor our
town is named, has declared his
intention of being with us. Let
every W. C. T. U. woman and
L. T. L. memberdo all they can
to make this contest a success and
do honor to the author of the world
renowned Demorest medal contesjt.
y
Every W. C. T. U. woman in
Habersham county should be proud
to have her name enrolled upon the
great petition that during the last
seven years the World’s W. C. T.
U. has been preparing against the
traffic in alcohol,opium and against
legalized vice, to be presented to
the governments of the world. La¬
dy Henry Somerset and Miss Wil¬
lard will convey the petition to the
different governments. The peti¬
tion has how reached over seven
million signatures. A first class
steamer is to be chartered and a
party of 100 will accompany Lady
Somerset and Miss Willard in this
crusade. Mr. Wm. Pipe, ex-secre¬
tary of the World’s Parliament of
Religions will act as managing sec¬
retary, and accompany the party
around the world. The crusade
will begin next October. It is ex¬
pected that there will be enrolled
as delegates in this remarkable cru¬
sade one from every state in the
union and the province of Canada.
If we cannot be among the favored
few who will present this petition
each woman can see that her name
is among the seven million names
that compose the greatest petition
the world has ever seen. It covers
twenty miles of paper and is signed
in fifty different languages.

RABUN RUMBLINGS
Clayton, July 18.
Our county is infested by a gang
of bogus detectives. A few even¬
ings ago a dirty looking tramp went
to the house of *Mr. Hamet in
War woman district, and told him
that he had a warrant for him for
stealings horse in Tennessee. After
arresting Hamet, Deavers, for such
is the tramp’s assumed name, he
told Hamet that he would turn him
loose if he would give him $25.
Harnett did not have the money, so
Deavers wanted to know what he
had to give him in lieu of the $25.
He told him he had a cow and calf.
Deavers agreed to take them if they
were delivered at the North Caro¬
lina line, which was agreed to.
About 2 o’clock the next morning
Mri Ira Holden, who lives near the
.state line, was awakened by the
barking of his dogs, and getting up
to sec the cause of the disturbance,
saw two men with a cow and calf
going rapidly toward the line. Tak¬
ing his shot gun he hastened for
help and then for the men, whom
he overtook and arrested just be¬
fore they had reached the North
Carolina line. Deavers has been
incarcerated in the county jail to
await the action of the court and
see if there arc other unfortunate
perrons to make charges against
him. We understand tramps broke
into the house of Jos. Gibson of
North Carolina, and stole several
article, including some bed cloth
toff- .'vry.2
There is strong talk of having ’a
normal college established at or
near Burton, Ga. This is one of
the great necessities, of not only
Rabun county, but it would be
beneficial to all north Geor¬
gia. Why can we have it?
