THE TIMES To Habersham Democrats. Fellow-Citizens :—Our county now enjoys the enviable reputation of being the banner 1 Democratic county of the 9th district,and there can be no doubt that this result has been reached through our system of primary elections for choosing candidates. And yet, many peo¬ ple—some good Democrats—are becoming dissatisfied with pri¬ maries. \ The party, through its executive committee, ordered a primary to choose candidates for county offi¬ cers, which was heartily endorsed by the people and gonejnto in good faith by them, and a set of candidates fairly and honestly se¬ \is lected. This being the case, it the bounden duty of every good Democrat to earnestly and enthu¬ siastically support every man nominated by that primary. It was held for the purpose of de¬ termining the choice of the party, and it ia our duty to stand squarely up to it, regardless of personal preferences. ‘ There can be no such thing as a choice between men now. The party having selected these men, they are the representatives of the party, and every true Democrat is duty bound to do all he can to elect them. Let us all, then, forgetting per sonal preferences and everything else but our duty, ss loyal Demo crats, go to work for/the success of the ticket nominated in the late and give it a rousing ma jority. See that there is no scratch ing, but that every name selected by the primary appears on ticket and see to it that all your neighbors turn out and vote. -Jtospectfufl^r, J. Christy, "-y Ch’n Don.

We ate in receipt of a letter from a friend who wants informa¬ tion in regard to this section. The letter explains itself *. Friend Fowler: Our people are forming a Colony and want to buy a tract of land that ties in a good climate, has good water, accessible to good market, and well timbered; about eight to fifteen thousand acres in one body, if, they can get it. Where ever they go it wifi* Titian a "population of from four thousand to ten thous and people. I have not time to explain any more at this time. I thought per¬ haps you might know of a tract of land that would suit. If you know of any such lands let me know at once so I can report at the meet¬ ing Saturday night next. Part of the colony comes from Pennsyl¬ vania. The colony has been or¬ ganized for two years and now they want to locate in the spring. It is a prohibition colony. - r Yours, Tom. We have written this gentleman assuring him he could do no better investigate Toccoa and sur¬ rounding country. Toccoa offers all the advantages asked for in this letter. Toccoa will welcome any and all colonies who want to settle in this county and section for developement. We will give them land at a low figure and not rob them as has been so often practiced j n this county. Come on friends and investigate us and we are sure you will settle with us. x —:—~~^— Avalon.

The mayor says a mountaineer came to town this week and of¬ fered fat, large porkers, ready dressed at 5 cents par pound. Now everybody knows these gentlemen don’t care for money or tho coat of pork, but in a philanthropic mood they each ordered a hundred pounds or more, expecting to get nothing more than hams, as the countryman assured them they were very large and fat. After the trade was made and the pork ordered brought to Ktlge’s to be weighed, the country¬ man disappeared, leaving the three above named gentlemen winking et each other at the tow price of bog 1 the probability of a hard od little money, when the ----anabs mmA awtili ifWWi a - Manley Brothers Assign.
