THE TIMES THE TIMES Is the official News - paperof Habersham County and the City of Toccoa. When you want to buy goods trade with the merchants who patronise your home paper. 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: T C Vickery J H Vickery G W Edwards A-H Ramsay S H Moseley 'W C Edwards J N West J B.Jones C R Miller J M Cannon T W Scott W J Mitchell.

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. . For Sale.

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.
