Official Paper at the City at Taeeoa and Coun¬

The colleges of the country seem
to be striving to prepare a crop of
Ciceros and Demostheneses.
Mrs Lease means that this time
nothing shall be left of Gov, Lew
elling save a pathetic little heap of

C. R. Hicks, agent for J. H.
Zeilin & Co., Philadelphia, the
only manufacturers of Simmons
Liver Regulator, made us a pleasant
call a few days ago. Mr. Hicks sayR
there is a spurious medicine called
Simmons Liver Medicine on the
market in this section, and that
his firm has nothing to do with it.
The true Simmons Liver Regulator
has a large red Z printed on each
package of it. We will be glad that
when our patrons want this medi¬
cine that they call for Simmon*
Liver Regulator and see that it has
the red Z on the package. See
their advertisement on front page.

The Toccoa Times is booming
Col. J. W. Robertson for Congress
from this district. While Col. Rob
ertson is a good man we want to
impress on the weekly papers of
the district that they had better
wait awhile. Early birds sometimes
get the worm but sometimes they
get “it in the neck.”—Cleveland
Progress.
Good for Kimsey
Judge Kimsey, assisted by the
grand jury, made it hot for Lump¬
kin county liquor dealers at the last
term of court over there. Judge
Kimsey says that he proposes to
put a stop to the sale of liquor in
. every county in his circuit.—Cleve¬
land Progress.
We Shall See
The Jackson Herald:
“There has been talk of opposi¬
tion to Colonel Tate in the Demo¬
cratic nomination two years from
now. Colonel James W. Robert
son of Habersham is often spoken
of as a suitable man to represent
this district in Congress, and Colo¬
nel Robertson is one of the best
men in Georgia. Some have men¬
tioned Ham, of the Georgia Crack¬
er, George Brown, and others, but
the man who beats Tate will have
to do some hustling, as he knows
nearly every man in the district.’’
Yes, Tate is a good man,but when
another election rolls around we
will see what we will see. Four
year is enough for Tate.

unite in calling Rev. Phillips to

have been rightly informed on the
subject as the Presbyterian church
has made no such arrangement.But
a number of members of the Pres
byterian church have Congregational decided^ to
unite with the
church. They go, however, as in¬
dividuals, not as a church.

MENDELSSOHN CLUB CONCERT
A Large Audience Hears the Club
and are Delight :d.
That Toccoa people possess an
appreciation fo rthc highest class rtf
music, was evinced by the large au¬
dience which greeted the Mendels¬
sohn Club in their second annual
<^>ncert at Matheson’s hall on Thurs¬
day night of last week, notwith¬
standing the unfavorableness of
the weather. The success of the
club’s firstjconcert had awakened
great expectations from.this second
efort, and we are perfectly safe in
saying that all—the most critical
hearer included—went away not
only well satisfied, hut delighted.
“Gypsy Life,” the opening chor¬
us, was one of Schumann's happiest
compositions and as the assembly
sang it we could almost see the
gypsy tents, the goblet passing
from one to another, the^oAd lor
tune teller, the forms lying around
in sleep, and finally the troop of
vagabonds leaving the camp scene.
One of the most excellent features
of the concert was the distinct enun¬
ciation and correct pronunciation
in the songs.
Every number on the program
was classical with the exception of
“Master and Pupil” nnd 4 “Midnight
Fire Alarm,” which.were intended
only to amuse and brighten the
program. The first mentioned, by
Miss O. Jones and Prof. Fessenden
struck the popular fancy and satis¬
fied to the utmost all cravings,for
something of a funny nature, as was
evinced by the vociferous ap¬
plause which was accorded it. The
interpreting and rendition of the
parts were well nigh perfect and
approached the work of profes¬
sionals.
The “Overture to Zampa” was
most happily rendered by the ac¬
complished musicians, Mrs. Dance
and Miss Birdie Mue Jones, and
the trio played by the above men
tioned and Mrs. Vickery, was
bright and beautiful and highly en¬
joyed.
In the duet sung by Misses Capps
and Freeman, “Across the Still
Lagoon,” we could feel the whole
story and sometimes hear the dash¬
ing of the water, so vivid and ex¬
pressively was it given. MisSoFree
man though a very young girl
surprised her hearers by her full
beautiful voice, and compliments
passed upon it were beard upon
all sides.
Miss Capps’ solo, “Watching,”
by Millard, was one of the. most
classical and beautiful numbers on
the program and it showed her
deep rich contralto voice to the
very best advantage. Her rendi¬
tion was highly appre ciat ed aa

Miss Myrtle Yow’s recitation,- :
“Perdita,” received a rousing ap?
plause and encore, in acknowledge^!}
ment of which she simply bowed;
No one who ever recited lr. Toccoi
lias given tragedy more excellently beautiful
than this cultured and
young lady, and one of the most’
churming features of her recitation**
is the grace with which every
motion is made.
The elocutionary effort of Miff'
Ola Jones, who Recited “An Idyl
of the Period” was of the highest
order of merit, and was keenly a r
.
predated and enjoyed by everyone
present. The rousing encore which*
followed was a flattering testimo¬
nial of her powers as an elocution^
1 st. In a pleasing manner Miss'
Jones responded with “The Hearts-'
ease.” We must add that MktA
Jones’s acting shows her to be
natural born actress.
Mr. Hope Hale of Athefis de-'*
lighted his friends especially, and
the audience generally, by singing
that beautiful song, Tide by Millard,^ Come**
“When The Flowing
In.” He was encored and respond-'
ed with a negro song of his owtf 1
composition.

which was presented the sterner
view of life—as it is. Mrs. J. B.

attitude as she resolutely tuggpd }
away at the feathers of an aged
chicken will always remain
