The article in last week’s Times

tbe firm of Simmons & Brown, gen¬
eral merchants, and tbe firm name
would hereafter be Edwards, Sim¬
mons & Brown, and that be would
be general manager of said firm.

Hoe Specimens of Gold.
Clarkesville, Jah, 4.—Professor
E, T. Whatley, of the Yonah Min¬
ing Company, Clarkesville bf White county,
was in a few days ago
with some very fine specimens of
gold from his company’s mine.
Mr. Whatley is practically demon¬
strating tbe fact that Georgia
gold mines pay. His mine has.
yielded tbe 1,000 pennyweight* 'weeks of gold
in past few at a very
small cost. The Yonah Mining
Company will enlarge its work and
increase its capacity at once and
Mr. Whatley flattering thinks the prospects
are very for an active
year in the gold fields of northeast
Georgia. All of tbe mining com¬
panies in this section are preparing
for a busy year.
For Improvement
'There will shortly be put forth an
effort, headed by some of Toccoa’s
best business men, to bring manu¬
facturing enterprises to Toccoa.
Now those of our people who of
feel an interest in the wellfare
the town should give these gentle
men their hearty and undivided
support in this laudable undertak¬
ing. Let persona] feelings and as¬
pirations be laid aside and zealous¬
ly inter into anything that' will
build up Toccoa and our county.
If we are divided, as a community,
we can never accomplish anything.
Remember the old proverb:
“United vve stand, divided we
fall,” ne\ 4 r was more true than it
is today.
All hands to the wheel and to¬
gether! and with a mighty effort,
we will certainly put the ship ot
progress on her course and we will
certainly reap rich harvests for
.years to come for so-doing.
Tugalo Correspondent, Oconee
News.
Our Georgia neighbor, William
Gilbert, had a dog to go mad re¬
cently, and contrary to the off-re¬
peated assertion, “that dogs afflict¬
ed with hydrophobia never cross
water,” the dog appeared on the
Carolina side and was seen on the
iSth and 19th in the neighborhood
of Mt. Tubor. On the 20th the dog
passed Mr. J. A .Knox’s residence,
going in the direction of Tugaloo
river. Mr. Knox ran for his dou¬
ble barrelled, shot gun, directing
his little sons to watch its course.
The father, not noticing the actions
of his boys, went around the thick¬
et to head off the dog. The boys
drove up the rear, one with an axe
afid the other with a few rocks in
his hand. The dog made a turn
and was within a few feet, of Jul¬
ius, a lad of a dozen summers, be¬
fore he was aware of it. The brave
little fellow seeing climb—David the dog so close like,
and no tree to
began to shell the dog with his
rocks which the dog did not*|ieed,
but advanced and closed in 0(1 the
little hero. Having exhausted bis
supply of rocks Julius fought with
his hands and feet, all the while
crying for his father, who although*
in sight, could not reach his soft'
only by rounding the thicket an 4
ravine which lay between. The
father hastened to meet his son
who was- followed by the dog.
When within a tew steps of the
dog Mr. Knox aimed but the gun
failed, whereupon he struck the dog
breaking its back, and the weapon
in three peices; tjien seizing the
breech, brained the dog, thus end¬
ing the strife. *
Julius received only a slight
bruise just below the armpit and no
evil consequences are feared. But
for a large coat he wore, Julius the
could not have evaded
fangs of the dog so successfully. and
His clothing was badly torn
Julius is a wiser boy. He will
noriagain “try what virtue there is
in stones” onr a rabid dog.

Next week we expect to get out
aooojcopies 83 of the offices The Times, in six to
be sent to post the
surrounding counties. There will
be at least ten copies to go to each
of these post offices, and the re¬
mainder will go to addresses in
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Rhode Washington Island, South
state,
Wisconsin, West Virginia, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Missouri,
Nebraska and Ohio.
The Times has always worked
for Toccoa and IJabersbam county,
and it is hoped that great results
will be derived from this effort on
our part. No other paper has ever
been published in Toccoa that has
gone to the expense of advertising
our town and section that The
Times has and we think we de¬
serve the support of the progressive
people of our section.
The Times is not published for
the especial benefit of any set of
men, store, or merchants, but for
the good of the whole community.
Give us your support and we
will continue to give you a paper
you will be proud of and are glad
to see go forth as a representative
ol Toccoa, "The Beautiful-” .
