VOL. III. A New Deception which the people of the South are resenting, sell -is the efforts of . some to them imitations for 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 a take the stuff to offer get to place of Simmons they Liver them in Reg¬ ulator—which is the “King of Liver Medicines,” give because it never fails to relief in all liver troubles.

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. . H. B. The closing exercises of the pub lie school commenced last night and was well attended, and shows a wonderful amount of - work in the preparation for the closing. exercises delighted a large audience last night and will be to-night.

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.

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.
