those whose good fortune it is to
have these good things this Christ¬

Wish Our Readers a Merry Christmas.
If the colony of Pennsylvanians
will send an agent to Toccoa ^in¬
vestigate our country, town and
people, we guarantee they will
soon decide to make their home
with us. The people of this see
tion will welcome them and do all
that is in their power to make them
feel that they did not leave all the
friends they have in the cold north.

The Times has just turned out
one of the neatest booklets it has
ever gotten out, for the Mayor and
city of Mt. Airy. It is the charter
and codified ordinances of that

thinking for of everybody the good it will do the
town to be able to
know what the ordinances are.

Red Men Elect Officers.
At a meeting of Currahee Tribe,
No. 45, Independent Order of Red
Men, held at their wigwam on
Tuesday evening, December 17th,
the fo!lowiiig|_officers were elected
for the coming six moons : Proph¬
et, N. A. Fessenden; Sachem, W.
M. Kilgo; Senior Sagamore, J. H.
Renney ; Junior Sagamore, VV. M.
Ward; C. of R., B. R. Hill;Trus¬
tee for eighteen moons, G. A.
Cooper; Keeper ot Wampum, T.
C. Wright.
Currahee Tribe is in a prosper¬
ous condition with a membership
of about forty-five braves and some
pale faces in sight. The founda¬
tion stone of the order is its care
for their sick and distressed mem¬
bers, which makes it a very de¬
sirable order for persons in moder¬
ate circumstances.
The Red Men of Georgia will
soon have completed a home for the
orphans of deceased members of the
order, which will be located at
Austell.
A New Tale.
The snake tale, the bear tale,
and the tale of “woe” man has
been heard from often, but the
“possum” tale related by Rich
Wheeler is “brand new” and
believed to be strictly original with
him. S
It all huppened in the State of
“Big Smith” down by the Tugalo
where the simmon crop never fails,
and grapes grow in luxuriant pro¬
fusion, consequently the “possum”
crop flourishes without currying or
being particularly looked after by
the citizens. This one however must
have been the boss as Mr. Wheeler
declares that it tipped the beam at
forty two pounds, clear of the
“kearf” net, and on well balanced
scales at that. In justice to Mr.
Wheeler we will state that he said
that he wouldn’t believe the “pos¬
sum” weighed so much if any one
else but himself told it, but for the
satisfaction of the incredulous or
doubting ‘‘Thomases” he will
prove what he says about the “pos¬
sum” by Swift Davis and a dozen
or so of tho leading citizens of
“Big Smith.” We pause for the
Next!

THE TIfUB 5 .
The Times comes out this week
with 12 pages., probably the largest
paper ever gotten out in North¬
east Georgia. You will find it re¬
plete with Christmas news and
reading, and we think worthy of
the foremost town in this section
of North East Georgia. Toccoa is
progressive, so is the Toccoa
Times ; we do not let the grass
grow under our feet. We are de¬
termined to have the largest circu¬
lation of any paper in this section
of Georgia, and with that end in
view we have determined to give
The Times for the next month at
the low rate of $1 per year.
A Reduction For One Month.
Commencing now we will give a
reduction on all cash subscriptions
received between this and Februra
ry 1st, 1S95, 25 cents on each year¬
ly subscription. We want to
increase our subscription list and
in order to do so, we aim for one
month to take yearly subscriptions
to The Times at $r.
The Election.
The election for county officers
comes off before we get another pa¬
per out,January 2nd. January 3,
there will be elected city officers,
and January 5th the constables for
the 440th G. M. precinct will be
elected.
No doubt the best men will be
elected to fill the offices, and The
Times will help to hold up the
hands of every man who will be
elected t6~any and all of these of¬
fices,as will also the citizens of the
town and county.
But we want to call the special
attention of democrats to the fact
that while we are the banner demo¬
cratic county of the ninth district,
one good reason among others, is
that the Democrats turned out en
masse to vote for men who were
running under democracy’s stan¬
dard. Now it behooves us all to
come to the polls early on Wednes¬
day morning and stay till they
close,and work for democratic suc¬
cess, not that we are afraid of the
populists, but that we may bury
them so deep that those who will
finally escape the wreck may come
back into the fold and be given
their old place in the ranks of the
grand old party who has kept the
south in the same straight paths of
religious right and liberty as first
taught us by Jefferson, Jackson,
Calhoun and Tooms.
Now don’t forget to do your duty
democrats, on next Wednesday, as
you not only owe it to yourselves,
but to your children and your family
that you keep this a poor man’s and
a white man’s government.
Vote the straight democratic
tickets without a scratch 1
