After Election Reflections.
’Lection’s over—country's savedr
Timeler fellers ter get shaved.
Said they’d let their whiskers grow
Till us fellers had er show.
How we beat'em! gad! whut fun!
Never democrats did run
Like the ticket we jest beat—
Run ez if they wnz sjll feet!
Patent kickers wuzn’t in it—
Guess they run a mile a minute!
Laud! to herd ’em day before
You'd a tho’t they had us shore.
Wuzn’t anythin’ in sight
Wuzn’t theirs. The other night.
Big Ed Hawkins wuz around
Most bent back’ards to the ground—
Blowed he never missed it yet
When he made a ’lection bet.
Couldn’t fool him, he’d jest herd
All about it—He’s a bird!
Then there’s Sanders—guess he knowed
All about his wagin load!
Wuzn’t bringin’ ’’truck” to town
Jest because the price wuz down—
Guest he’d put up five or ten
Where ’twould double up agen—
Riley, too, put up the rocks
He’d been warmin’ in his socks—
But the noos they get to-da.v
Rube their fur the other way!
Well, they’s mighty little use
’Spectoratin’ 'backer juice,
Argyfyin’, get-tin’ hot
Some one else’s supper-pot!
Wait till next eiectiou* 4 hen!
Reckon I’ll get het agen. •
Only hope I won’t get burned
Findin ’92 returned.
Now I guess I’ll rub it in
O11 some other tender skin.
“Ah, distinctly I remember itwaa in the
chill November,
And each separate dying ember wrought
a shadow ou the floor:
What I read of the election—party treason
and defection—
' Ground the iron of dejection deeper in
my heart’s red core;
So I rose Up, loud exclaiming, all my soul
with passion flaming,
“Bird, or beast, or what thy naming,
* perching on my chambcr-door,
Quail or bujaturd, crow or turkey’, roosting
on my chamber-door—
I shall cat you, if you’re living, for my
dinner next Thanksgiving, •
Shine or blizzard, bone* and gizzard, I
shall cat and call for more
Steeped in gull and helleboro from the
night’s Plutonian shore”—
Quoth tho raven: “Evermore!”
Japan as a Victor.
Probably no feature of the re¬
markable warfare that has been
going on uninterruptedly in the
orient is more extraordinary than
the later series of victories whi<J»
Japan has been winning over her
big antagonist. From the first of
the war it has been the opinion of
most outside observers of the situa¬
tion that Japan, while amply able
to win dashing victories from China
in the first engagements of war,
must inevitably tire of her efforts
and be forced to desist before the
insuperable 'passive resistance of a
the resources of which seem
unlimited. Japan, it was said,
could whip her ancient enemy only
a contest of short duration.
Then, being exhausted by her own
efforts, she would confront the real
strength of her enemy —China’s
ability to put fresh men into the
field as fast as they are shot down.
That she has an abundance of
such fresh fighting material China
has already shown in the number
of her re-enforcements. But up to
the present the re-enforcement6
have merely afforded Japan new
opportunities to continue the flog¬
ging process. On land and on
water the mikadd’s forces have been
advancing pluckily on the Chinese
territory, winning practically every
contest and taking every point.
The fresh Chinese soldiery has
eitber been fhot down or rooted
from every battlefield. At the
same time the popular discontent
which is perpetually mattering
somewhere ^mong the subordinated.
milions has made mani¬
festations, the Chinese war deport¬
ment has become disorganized and
the entire offensive and defensive
military equipment promises to be
as badly wrecked as in the naval

truce and an opportunity to
sider terms of peace. Japan, ac¬
cording to the dispatches, will con¬
sent to such a proposition only on
condition that China cecedestoher
the island of Formosa—a richly fer*
tile and beautiful bit cSf country
about half the size of Ireland—and,
in addition, a trifling matter of
.
about $200,000,000 indemnity.
These are Japan’s terms, and if she
has already stated them she is not
likely to take anything less. -
Whatever be the result of these
first negotiations toward a settle¬
ment, the best victory Japan has
won lies in the recognition and re¬
spect she has now secured from the
rest of the world. That little peo¬
ple whose manners and arts have
been one of the puzzles of the
orient has shown not only its ad¬
vance in civilization, but remark¬
able pluck, boldness and power to
conceive and execute national pro¬
jects of aggrandizement on large
lines. y
A Wreck.
Last Monday evening between
Martin and Lavonia, near Wilborn
postoffice, a wreck occured on the
Elberton Air Line railroad, but
fortunately, no one was hurt.
It seems a brake beam dropped
down and derailed four empty box
cars, and threw them from the track
tearing up the roadbed consider
ably. The passenger coaches re¬
mained on the track unhurt.
The train came in Wednesday
noon, twenty-four hours late.
A Cotton Convention.
Mr. John T. Roddey desires all
pc.rsons or delegations that may be
interested in the formation of a
Cotton Company, along the gener¬
al lines indicated in his correspon¬
dence and wit.!} the ends in view
therein expressed, to meet him in
convention at Atlanta, Ga., on
November 3ist. A full attendance
is urged. -. A large correspondence,
pledging support, has been receiv¬
ed, and the promise of an enthusi¬
astic meeting is excellent. The
exigencies of the present situation
demand prompt action. Persons
or delegates who expect to be pres¬
ent at the Convention, will please
communicate with Mr. Roddey, at
80 Broadway, New York City.

Mr. Edwards, the manager does
not yet know whether he will re¬

One strange thing about it is,

found fifty feet from where the

Up to date, four Georgia women
have entered the competition for
the prize offered by the Women's
Board of Managers for the best de¬
sign for a Woman’s building of the
Cotton States and International
Exposition. In all, twenty-two
women have entered the list.' The

“We are advertised by our lov¬
ing friends;” *
The Times is making great
strides into the affections of the
people of Toccoa and surrounding
country. Our subscription list is
steadily increasing and we expect
to have 2,000 paid-up subscribers
by the coming summer. ______
The Times is without doubt the
best country paper in this section
of Georgia and will compare favor¬
ably with any paper published in
the south in a town with 2000 in¬
habitants.
If you want the news, you should
subscribe for The Times.
We give to each and every sub¬
scriber of The Times absolutely
free on November 30, a fine water
color picture, which would add to
the beauty of any parlor in the
country. This will not be done by
any other county paper in the
State—and for that matter few city
papers.
The following are a few expres¬
sions of esteem of prominent peo¬
ple of Toccoa as to how The Times
is held by them :
Dr. J. N. West— “TheToccoa
Times is the best country paper I
ever saw.” - - ,
C. H. Dance, of Edwards &
Dance, merchants—“Never saw a
better country paper.”
T. A. Capps, Merchant,—“The
best paper ever published in the
county.” .
J. J. Bright, postmaster—“As
good a local paper as I ever saw—
clean and neat.”
W. M. Kilgo, of Kilgo & Cook,
Merchants,—“Best local paper I
ever read.”
W. C. Edwards, Merchant—
“I am well pleased with The Toc¬
coa Times. I don’t think a bet¬
ter paper can be run here by any¬
one.”
B. P. Brown, Jr., of Simmons,
Brown & Co., Merchants—“I am
pleased with the paper both as to
news and make up. I never saw
a neater,cleaner or newsier paper.”
L. P. Cook, J. P.,—“The best
paper wc ever had here.”
J. B. Jones, Lawyer,—I am
very much pleased with The Times
and predict much success for it.”
J. A, Burgess, of E. P. Simpson
& Co.—“It is the best county pa¬
per I have ever seen—something
we have long needed.”
W. A. Matheson,—Merchant—
“The best paper we have ever had,
deserves the patronage of the
Mayor Hayes.—“I am highly
pleased with The Times and think
the best paper we have ever had.”
