THE TIMES
Official Paper of the City of Toccoa and Coun¬
ty of Habersham.
Not So Bad As Reported.
Cornelia, Ga., June 5.
Editor Tim kb:
Some of the people here who
are familiar with and were eye wit¬
nesses to the affair which occurred
here on Tuesday eve, the 28th. ult,
of whffch mention is made in the
“Times” of last week, entitled
“Sheriff In It,” are somewhat sur¬
prised and really wonder who
should have been the author of such
an over-drawn and highly colored
article, representing Sheriff Gribble
as not only being a hero of heroes,
but as having been slashed and cut
as it were in “Jack the Ripper”
style, and having been nearly de¬
nuded at the hands of imaginary
Tesse James desperadoes or the
Apache Indians.
Whil e we, as citizens, entertain
great regard for our sheriff and ac¬
credit him as acting as a meritor¬
ious officer in aiding in the arrest
of the drunken mob accompanying
the returning excursion of Tuesday
night. We must confess that we
had no knowledge of the fact that
his life had been placed in such jeop¬
ardy, or that his uniform was either
perceptibly punctured by pistol
balls, or the worse for incissions
made by knives.
With the assistance of Jule Ow¬
ens, our efficient; marshall and oth¬
ers, four arrests were made.
Some of whom were so beastly
drunk they had to be carried to a
place of custody.
' One man fled to the woods,
but was pursued and captured,
after which he was placed in the
hands of the guard until an engine
. was in readiness to convey prison¬
ers and officers to Clarksville.
The only blood we saw was from
wounds of captured. Omega.
We received to¬
day nine styles of
Thompson’s Glove
Fitting Corsets.
They are the best
in the world.

High School Concert
Too much can not be said in
compliment of the Public School
exhibition which was attended by
five hundred people, perhaps, last
Thursday and Friday evenings.
Every uuniber upon the well ar¬
ranged programs was decidedly
well rendered and when we re¬
member that every pupil in the
school took part,'we wonder at the
unusualcombination of talent,which
sur ely must have been brought out |
and developed by the genius of the
very capable teachers and super
intendent in charge of the school, j
The music by Mr. Fennell’s ■
orchestra, which opened the pro
grams and threw in music through
out the entertainments, added much
to them, filling as it did any neces
sary waits when the scenery was
changed.
The college quartettes sung by
Messrs. Joe Jones, Harry Burgess,
Lindsay Fennel, and Roy Capps
were much enjoyed, as were also,
Lannagan’s Ball, the duet sung by
the girls in the higher grades, the
song by the woodpeckers, the frog
chorus, and the Brownies’ song
and performance.
The Natural Spell present
ed bird’s-eye view of an
old fashioned country school when
blue-back spelling books were in
order and “baker,” “hippopota¬
mus” “plenipotentiary” and “Con¬
stantinople” were the goals toward
which many children looked long¬
ingly. The costuming and acting
in this song were excellent, and the
singers were rewarded by an encore.
Holsteiner’s Band was perhaps
one of tbe most ludicrous features
of Thursday night’s program.
Prof. Perry, who sees the possible
fun in every thing, introduced and
trained the band which added
much to the comic song sung by
Joe Jones. I doubt if any fifteen
people in existence could have
learned to play in such a pleasing
(because funny) manner with only
• half dozen lessons, as did those
jolly school boys. It must have
been a medley which this
band played notwithstanding Hoi
steiner announced the threadbare
Annie Rooney, for we can not im
agine such variation possible in one
selection. After tbe instruments
were toned, cleaned, etc., a blast,
which sent the winds away sob¬
bing, was followed by a moderate
movement, which became vailen
tando, andante and pianissimo in

former, Harry Burgess. When the
band again united in their efforts,
we not only heard but saw the most
accelerando, precipito, presto and
prestissimo movements ever con¬
ceived of and these glided into
each other most naturally under
the soul-^kring ( ?)direction of the
leader. <,£«ng •k\ A ’ live Holsteiner’s
Band! f ..V
The Frogs, Brownies, and Wood¬
peckers acquitted themselves in a
most delightful manner and quite
won the hearts of the audience by
their sage and unself-conscious
demeanor.. '.iShoMJ^stumes and little
fiddles were, such perfect imita
tj 0 ns as tb cfo much credit to the
' L
makers. . >
Little Ditsy Ramsay and Curtis
Fennel not only delighted every
one with their recitations, but the
children especially, by distributing
the ginger cake “ Jimmy Crow”and
little pieces of candy among the
little ones in the audience.
Bertha Lawson recited “Want
ed: a Little Girl” almost perfectly
and received numerous compliments
on her pretty looks and wonderful
elocutionary talent,
Little Kate Jones also received
many compliments on her recita
tion, “A Smack in School”,
Coral Capps recited “Lasca”
in a most happy manner, and Joe
Jones was decidedly good in his
“Dutchman’s speech on the Labor
Question.”
The pantomimes: “A Photo¬
grapher’s Trials” and “Entertain¬
ing Her Lovers” were inimitable
and proved those taking part in
them to have a fine conception of
what they acted.
“Six Little Maids From School”
by first grade girls, “Vacation
Fun” by 2nd and 3rd grade boys
and girls, “Mother Goose” and
“The Visitors from Story Land ’
were all good and did credit to
those taking part.
Tbe drills were a delightful feat¬
ure of the programs.
Tbe little girls in the Good
Night Drill showed the self-pos¬
session and bravery of old soldiers
when the of one of , the . little ,
cap
girU taking part, was discovered
to be on fine. One would have ex
P«ted them to flee in consterna
tion, bdt ' instead they went on
with the drill as if nothing bad
happened.
The Rainbow Drill was par¬
ticularly beautiful and perfect in
execution, and the words spoken
and the song with motions added
* greatly to it. —[

ways of our grandmothers to per¬
fection. The Wreath Drill was
also beautiful.
Tlift Entertainment by the Peak
Sisters was well carried out and
was a decided lesson against Wo¬
man’s Rights in the usual accepta¬
tion of that term. Nothing could
have been more prissy than the
stiff motions in unison and the ri¬
diculous little songs, which they
rendered well.
Mamie Ramsay’s recitation about
“The Ideal Boston Girl” and the
irrepressible Sophia’s solo, by lit¬
tle Emma Strickland, were much
complimented.
The programs were closed with
burlesques, viz., “The Negro
School” and “The Haunted Cham¬
ber.” The one proved conclusively
that white boys are quite as nimble
as the darky -vho has the reputa¬
tion of being a born dancer, and it
also showed by contrast a marked
advance in school government at
the present day.
“The Haunted Chamber” in
which good deal of slight of
hand had to be used was well car¬
ried out and much enjoyed.
These entertainments will be re¬
membered long and pleasantly by
those who attended them, and the
teachers are to be congratulated up
on the entire success of their untir
ing efforts to give an enjoyable
school exhibition.
