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 a - « The wne of aU coo # affords the of rest the neer spectacle of a Ht mm t *M£. w. * ,=• .. *v* «<-•.

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. Another Fire.

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.

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.” 5tend to the Rack.

There are crumbs of comfort here for the defeated of every party ; and the sweetest of them all may be no¬ ticed in the good humor, the jolly bantering, and the pleasant greet¬ ings of the victors to the vanquish¬ ed.
