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.

T^' a ’* * hard world.” I 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 thriving little city. Col. Wilcox, Mayor, and Council are evidently thinking for of everybody the good it will do the town to be able to know what the ordinances are.

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! fu© people . , WHO RfLoitlsC IH THE TIMES are alwaYS chesgkgt firms to deal " WitK,%beCaH8e thej'Sell n mOTO gOOGS 1 jUn t 0 f Mver tlSl RliU tliey CgH afford tO Sett feoia^idver 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 Card of Thanks. 1 want to express our earnest thanks'to the Toccoa friends for their kindness in helping furnish parsonage. B. P. Searcy.
