A New Deception
which the people of the South
are resenting, sell -is the efforts of

the real Simmons Liver Regu¬
lator, because they mak e more
money by little the imitation; and
they care that they swindle
the people in selling them an
inferior article. It’s the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just whafr the people are
doing, hard and time merchants trying are having people

ty of Habersham.
Sheriff In It.
Tuesday an excursion psjrty from
the South Carolina factories around
Greenville passed through Toccoa
for Tallulah Falls, and on the rear
coach was a banner with the words
“Williamston College.” This
coach was filled with young lady
students from the female College
located at Williamston, and two
or three preceptors. At Tallulah
some of the factory boys imbibed
too much “Mountain Daw” and
became quite noisy. The Marshal
at the Falls attempted to arrest
them when a general row was
started and the Marshal was badly
injured 1 by the friends of the young
men who were wanted by the
officers and they were allowed to
depart.
Sheriff Gribble got on the train
and when it arrived at Cornelia
he arrested four of the ringlead¬
ers and put them in the lockup.
The sheriff was cut in several
places slightly and his clothing
almost cut off of him.
We congratulate the sheriff in
the way he is discharging his duty,
and we hope this will dampen the
exuberant spirit that seems to rise
in men when off on picnics and
excursions. The sheriff dia his
duty w ell.

Base-Ball.
On invitation from Prof. Keese
of the John Gibson Institute, to
Toccoa's baseball team, to play a
series of three games, the Toccoa
and Bowman teams crossed bats on
the latter’s gounds, Monday last,
with the score 14 to 10 in favor of
Toccoa. There were no features of
the game except the errors on both
sides.
On Tuesday when the second
game was to have been played
some of the Toccoa hoys kicked
about Bowman putting in several
men who did not belong to that
town, and consequently the last
two games were not played. the
It is needless to say that boys
from our town enjoyed the trip, as
they were hospitably received and
were given every attention possible.
The programme was jcommence
ment services morning and night,
• suid ball in the afternoon. The
commencement programmes were
very interesting and the debate was
especially enjoyed by every one.

The following clipping from the
Journal will be interesting from
an artistic standpoint and may give
to some, desired information about
picture hanging, bric.a-brac, etc.:
The old-fashioned way of hang
j udgment and taste have super
seded the step ladder and measur
big r °d as a means assistance ' n
getting effect pictures in shape be and; desired an
artistic is more to
than mathematical accuracy. Pic
tures are no longer bought to fill
space, hut are valued for their
educational influence and the artis¬
tic enjoyment they afford* To
get the best effect from any variety
of pictures it is necessary to avoid
mixing different styles of work
and confusing the beholder with a
display of oil paintings, water If col¬ the
ors, etchings and engravings.
oil paintings cannot be hung in a
separate room or hall an excellent
idea is to group a collection, say of
fiveor six different sizes,on one side
wall. They should be hung rather
high,and above all not in pairs. If a
bare space occurs not large enough
for a picture, yet too large to be ig¬
nored,fill it in with a lacquered tray
or brass plaque and a „ few well
placed peacock feathers. The
water colors and black and white
effects are less obtrusive, hence
more easily managed. An almost
invariable rule is to hang them
low. If too great a space is left
between pictures and frieze, a de¬
vice at once useful and effective is
to have a plain, narrow shelf put up
a foot or two below the frieze, and
place thereon showly bric-a-brac
which would be out of place on
mantel or in cabinet.

CLOTHING! -
A Good $7.00 Suit for $3.50
Mr. J. C. Curtis who lives in
the house formerly occupied by
Miss Joe Lynn on Doyle street has
made some exquisite doll furniture
for little Katie Jones and Mamie
Jones, the daughter of Col. J. B.
Jones. The wood carving done
by hand on this furniture, is the
most beautiful we have ever seen,
,and ’tis not surprising that these
little girls are so delighted. Mr.
Curtis is almost an .invalid, but
such work as the above he can do
at home, when feeling well enough.
Besides this wood carving he up-
holsters and repairs furniture,
makes screens, fancy stools, etc.
The Board of education, consist
ing of Mr. Mac Payne, president;
Dr. Jeff Davis, secretary; Mr. T.
A. Capps, tteasurer; Messrs R. M.
Wheeler, W. R. Bruce, and Pal
mer Simpson, have been untiring
in their efforts to promote the in¬
terests of the public schools this
year, and the responsibility which
rested upon them has always been
met. Professor Perry,the excellent
superintendent of the schools, says
he’never had such a good board
before in any place where he has
taught. The teachers, especially,
can always appreciate the efforts
which are made without any
remuneration by such men.
The teachers and pupils of the
public school wish also to thank
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Clark and
Mr. J. J. Bright for the use of
their organs in prepairing for the
school exhibition.
