THE TIMES
Official Paper of the City of Toccoa and Coun¬
ty of Habersham.
If Mr. Cleveland would have his
name handed down to posterity as
one of America’s true patriots, he
will resign from the presidency,
and thus avert revolution
which now* seems imminent,
unless there is a change in the at¬
titude of the government as to our
financial affairs. The south is
probablv worse off now, financially,
than it was immediately after the
war. Then a section suffered, now'
it’s the entire country.
The registration books fqj 1896
under the laws of 1S94, are now
open at the office of Geo. P. Erwin,
at Clarkesvillc. Register now for
1896 elections.
Rails for the broad guage are be¬
ing shipped down the Elberton
line. The work will commence
about the first of“ June.
For Congress
However, if we must make a
change, we are for Colonel J. W.
Robertson, of Habersham county,
Ga.—Harmony Grove Echo.
The friends of Rev. Allen, the
former pastor of the Methodist
church here, will be pleased by
read the following communica¬
tion from West Point in the Wes
lyan Christian Advocate :
“Since 1883, when that saintly
man, Rev. B. F. Farriss was pas¬
tor here, we have had such .godly
men as Ellis, Williams, Sasnett,
Foote and Robinson, all
good and true men; I disparage
of them when I say that in
our present pastor, Rev. B. P.
Allen, we have one who is doing a
work unlike any that has been done
here before. His thorough consecra¬
tion and earnestness, oneness of
purpose, and seemingly inexhaus¬
tible field of resources, lofty ideal
of Christianity and simple gospel
preaching, all tend to lift the
church to a higher plane; and
though he has been with us but four
months, many I believe are better
for having come in touch with
ihim.”
The democrats would do well to
repudiate Mr. Cleveland—he is not
a democrat unless John Sherman is
one. Cleveland has forgotten who
put him in office. He’ll likely re
member who put him out.

By the
Wayside
Informal invitations are perhaps
the most difficult of all things to
write gracefully* and the reading
public will lam sure, feel grateful
for a new idea such as one of our
prominent business men hit upon
recently and which luckily I am
able to give below, with the excep¬
tion of the names mentioned :
“My Dkaii Blank :
It was a custom among our an¬
cient friends uiul forefathers after
a great victory or other great event
to give a grand feast to which
all the great “notables” of the land
were invited. On which occasion
there were much speaking and
many compliments. The heroes
weue greatly lauded and the coun¬
try’s deeds painted in glowing col¬
ors, the tables were loaded down
with all the “delicacies of the sea¬
son,” and wine flowed in streams.
The tables were also decorated
with all tl^e known “Flora and
Fauna” and abundance abound¬
ed. Everybody felt great and
good—if not for themselvos, for
their fellow creatures. Everybody
was merry and good feeling was
the order of the day. These things
are of the past,and we look back at
them now in some measure as per¬
taining to heathenism. I have not
in. the slightest degree a desire to
call up the ghost of these old cus¬
toms, or to place myself in a po¬
sition whereby my fellow-men who
might point to me as a man
has never yet gotten within the
bounds of civilization, or having
gotten there, dropped out agi^in.
Still I do wish to have good feel¬
ings toward all men and “so far as
in me lies” enjoy the little span of
life with the good things contained
therein, allotted *o me in common
with all men. With these few
preliminary remarks, I have only
to add : I have heard that “whom
the gods would destroy they finst
make mad.” Contra—Those whom
we love we delight to serve.
Therefore, I cordially invite you
to meet at my house today about
the hour of 12 130, at which time,
with some otherguests andmyfamily
we will partake of some of the good
things of which in the course of
events it has been my good fortune
to become possessed, With the
utmost of my distinguished consid¬
eration I am
Your Humble and Obd’t Serv’t,

One, to appreciate the reply to
the above, must know that Mr.
Blank is a person very notably
fond of “good things,” and that
he has been known this spring to
get so hungry that sweet crackers
from “the store” were resorted to
between meals.
“My Dear Dash :
Words cannot express the deep
feeling of gratitude under which I
labor .after the receipt of such a cor¬
dial communication and heart-felt
invitation. You may ever bear in
mind that, with me, such remem¬
brance will never be effaced from
the tablets of memory.

strength and fyelings that he will

The following, from the Wash¬
ington Post, I give, not because it
could possibly be applied to anyone
in ToCcoa, but because such ap
preciative people as ours can feel a
delight in the rebuke of the
man who suggested an experiment
as follows:
It was at the theatre, and the
young man had seen the .piny be¬
fore. He let everybody for
seats around him know that, and
he kept telling just what was com¬
ing and just how funny it would
be when it did come. He had a
pretty girl with him, and he was
trying to amuse her. At length he
said:
“Did you ever try listening to a
play with your eyes shut? You’ve
no idea how queer it seems.”
A middled-aged man with a red
face sat just in front. He twisted
himself about in his seat and glared
at the young man.
“Young man,” said he, “did
you ever try listening to a play
with your mouth shut?”
And the silence was almost paiji
ful.
In no sense could the quotation
be apropos to the concert last night
which was thoroughly up-to-date.
In all my life I have never
seen a more intelligent, polite,
attentive, and appreciative crowd
of two hundred people anywhere
than the above mentioned; surely
if there is a standard by which the
intelligence and culture of the peo¬
ple of a town may be judged, it is
found in the attention given at a
public entertainment. Omai.
