Monday everybody with his wife* sweetheart, cousins, aunts, mother in-laws ;ind country cousins went to the circus. People came forty miles to see the show. It was a motley group of people with a goodly portion of blacks scattered through it to give it the color artists so delight to work m—black and white. The people came in all conceivable rigs, drawn by almost all kinds of domestic animals, from the crump¬ led horned ox to the fat, sleek, thoroughbred mare—some of them had been on the road for three days. There were hundreds who did not go in the show, either from lack of money or a desire to spend it for other things—there must have been fully one thousand people outside of the tent. They enjoyed the street parade, just as much as the silk robed,ladies who went down in their carriages with their liveried drivers. Two of our live business firms, Messrs. Kilgo & Cook, and Sim¬ mons, Brown & Co., feeling the enthusiasm of the jolly crowd and, too, with an eye to business, had a business advertisement painted on white cloth spread over an elephant and a camel, which was read by thousands. Tuccoa merchants knoyv the value of advertising— thfc royal road to success. The circus- vyas good. Every feature advertised was faithfully carried out as far as we know and everybody seemed well pleased with what they saw, This show is better than most others traveling through the south and charging one dollar admittance. The day was especially noted as an extraordi nariully quiet one for “show day,” no fights or fusses being reported at ull. Advertise Toccoa. We hope everybody interested in the .welfare of Toccoa will read tfie letter of ex-Goverrior Northcn to the editor of Thk Times. He ccrtuinly is doing a • grand work for the upbuilding of Geor¬ gia. There is no doubt but that \vc need new blood and more mon¬ ey. He is inducing the right kind of immigrants,to come to Georgia. We don’t need or want the foreign riff-raff here—who think they need and by right ought to have a police¬ man’s club stuck in their belts. We want farmers—the best and most scientific and, most of all, we want manufacturers to locate in Toccoa. There is mrbetter loca¬ tion in Georgia for almost any kind of factory than Toccoa. The peo¬ ple of Toccoa will not only give all such enterprises their moral sup¬ port but will put thei/ money into them. r Thb Times will bead the list for advertising Toccoa with Governor Northen with $5.00. We will publish the amounts re¬ ceived and the donor in next week’s Times. Let everyone interested in Toccoa come to the front in this grand movement. Subscription. To advertise Toccoa in Gov.

About four o’clock Tuesday af¬ ternoon the pepple of Toccoa were startled by numerous steam whistles blowing and the firing of guns, and looking towards the west portion of town they saw terrible sheets of fire ascending heavenward and a cloud of smoke that blackened all that portion of town. It was 1,400 hales of cotton cn fire. S. M. Inman & Co,, cotton mer¬ chants, had a large platform and and shed between the Elberton Air Line and Southern railroads on which they stored cotton, previous to being compressed. On this platform was abotff i, 7 °° bales of cotton and along side the platform were seventeen cars of cotton. In some way, as yet not known, fire caught in the ’Cotton and the high wind immediately' fanned it into a veritable furnace and by dark there was nothing, save some smouldering embers to show where the hntnense platform once stood. With the aid of the citizens of towri-the cars of cotton were shoved down the track and out of danger and thus escaped loss. About 300 bales of cotton were saved out the i ,700. The residence of Geo. Swilling caught on fire and whs destroyed, with a loss of about $600; $200 in¬ surance. A vacant house near the platform and at the west end of it, caught about 7 o’clock and made a very large blaze as it was a frame building. By hard work the en¬ gine room, and in fact the whole Southern property here,was saved. The Agent had forty or fifty men fighting the fire back, and had it not been for tfie company’s pump¬ ing station near the depot, it would have all gone up in flames. E. H. Locke, of the firm of S. Mi Inman & Co., was in the city Wednesday in conference with Mr. A. G. Craig, division freight agent of the Southern, as to rebuilding and adjusting losses. The Inmans wilfrebuild immedi¬ ately. Their loss is about $45,000; covered by insurance. The rail¬ road will suffer no loss to speak of. How It Works Our Business Budget, a leading St. Louis trade journal, has the following: A southern .banker astonished a group of northern men by telling them that there are 315 cotton fac to^es in North and South Carolina. “You mean in the entire south,” suggested one. “No,” said the other, “I mean in the two Carolinas. I know it because I had occasion to send out circulars to tiiem recently and ob¬ tained a list of them. It wus a revelation to me. The’fact is, the census of 1890 is already out of date, so far as southern develop¬ ment is concerted. In 1890 we had 354 cotton mills in the southern states, representing an investment of $61,134,096. Now we have 495 cotton mills costing $97,000,000. This growth of manufacturing in the south is bringing us an influx of bankers from the north. Only a week ago I had an in quin, from a northwestern banker w|jo want¬ ed a location south where he could use $25,000 capital to advantage.” The publication of facts like these cannot fail ro draw Enterprise and capital in this direction. They are a revelation to outsiders and to many of our own peapp!* When you want news, be it elec loci «r State, look up The We m OUR OFFER Our Grand Thanksgiving Rre miurn To AH Oar Readers.
