IT’S NEWS THE TIMES GETS IT.
Mr. Cooper Not the Only One.
Editor Toccoa Times:
I notice in a recent is6ue of The
Times where Mr. Rainey endorses
and also the endorsement of some
prominent citizens of your city as
to Mr. Cooper’s qualifications for
county commissioner. That is all
right and legitimate, but it might
leave the impression with a few in¬
dividuals that Mr. Cooper was the
only candidate of any prominence jus¬
in this end of the county. In
tice to myself and Mr. Loden, I
will ask you to give this space in
your paper. I have been a citizen
of Toccoa district for more that 40
years,'and have always been faith¬
ful to the democratic party, and
am now “too old a dog to learn
new tricks.” Veiy Respectfully,.
W. B, HadOock.
We, the undersigned citizens of
Toccoa, are personally acquainted
vrith W. B. Haddock, and consider
him well qualified to fill the office
of county commissioner:

Constitution and The
Mendelssohn Concert.
Friday evening quiite a' large and
appreciative audience was attrack
ed to Matheson’s Hall by a concert
given by the “Mendelssohn Club.”
Composed as it is by our best mus¬
ical talent it is needless to say
that a most delightful programme
was most charmingly rendered which
from the classical “Italia,”
opened the concert, to the end.
Each number was highly enjoyed
by the audience, which showed ap¬
preciation by encore after encore.
My space is limited but I must
mention the instrumental duet by
Mrs. Vickery and Miss Birdie May
Jones, so difficult, but so perfectly
rehdered ;the charming rendition of
“O, Promise Me” by that accom¬
plished vocalist, Mrs. Simmons.
The instrumental solo by Mrs.
West, was enjoyed greatly, as was
the Vocal sola by the same beauti
ful and acomplisbed musician. A
“Lullaby” by little Miss Kate Jones
showed a very decided talent and
that young lady was favored floral by
quite a number of handsome
offerings. One of the most beauti
ful songs was “TheMessage,” by
Mrs. Kemp, who possesses a high
ly cultivated, »weet voice. Mrs.
Mason gave a very “Watching,” sympathetic
rendering of Geibel’s
while comic choruses “Where Are
You Going MvPrettv Maid?” and
Tom, Tom. the Piper 1r s Son .became
almost classical by the skillful ren
dering of the club. The recita¬
tions by Mr. Fessenden and Miss
Jones stamped them as elocution¬
ists of the highest type, while theif
duett “Love and Pride,” was prob¬
ably the most if enjoyable distinction piece on
the program, such a
cou Id be made.
The accompanist, Miss Birdie
May Jones, sustained her difficult
part with her usual grace and cor¬
rectness. From beginning to end
the third annual concert of tbe
Mendelssohn club was the most
fin de siecle entertainment ever
given in Toccoa, and we await
with eagerness its repetition,which early
it is rumored, will occur at an
djte. . r
The many friends ot Mr. C. E.
Mason were disappointed that he
was unable to appear, as he is all
ways quite an acquisition to any
entertainment. .

AN ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
Upon Mrs. riame Griggs, Near
Tugalo Station.
Tuesday night of last week, about
10 o’clock, Mrs. Marne Griggs, was
awakened by some one on her bed.
She called to her mother, Mrs.
Duke, who was sleeping in the
same room and told her some one
was on her bed. By this time she
had become thoroughly frightened
and jumped from the bed calling to
hir brother, and snatching her child
from the bed, gave a general alarm.
The negro, for such it proved
to be, ran through two doors
and through the kitchen. Mr,
Jesse Duke went out the way
negro did, and went to the
occupied by Frank Fields, who
at work for Duka, but no
was there. ^ -
When the negro ran out he
recognized as Frank Fields,
Mrs. Griggs, who struck a match,
just as he went out the door.
The negro* was in his «night
clothes when he went out of Mrs.
Griggs’ room, but when Mr. Duke
got to Fields’ room there was noth¬
ing there belonging to the negro
except his hat.
Thursday morning about 1 o’clock
Messrs Alex Edge, J. G. Griggs,
and Bill Griggs caught the
