Hartwell, Ga.,Oct. 9 —The re¬ turns from the three counties com¬ prising this senatorial district indi¬ cate the defeat of Hon. A. G. Me- Curry for the senate. He has made a gallant fight and deserves great credit for it. His friends here were responsible for his entering the race, insisting that he should become the democratic standard hearer. To do this he had to retire from the race for the judg- ship of the northern circuit. His friends have now prevailed upon him to re-enter that race and they will make for him an active canvass. Judge McCurry is an able lawyer, a sterling democrat and an exceedingly popular man. Little Annie Zu Dillard who we regret to say, has typhoid fever is slowly improving. Rev.

A. E. Keese is President. Mr. J.G. Edwards, as Pete, the negro servant who was so anxious to keep up the respectibility of the Thornton family, was well-nigh perfect, so natural was he in the part. Miss Caruthers, as Mrs. Thornton, Mrs. W. S. Keese as Mrs. Darrah, Miss Gertie Keese as Daisy, Miss Mamie Glen as the old maid sister, Mr. W. S. Keese as Matt Wheeler, and Mr. Glen as the Deacon, rendered their parts exceptionally well. Mrs. Keese, who as Miss Lucy Beall made many friends during some previous visits to Mrs. Me- Junkin, sang some charming solos in a charming manner. Her voice is sweet, full and highly cultivat¬ ed. The evening’s entertainment was closed by the “Grasshopper Canta¬ ta,’’which excited the risible mus¬ cles of the audience enough to add a pound or two of obesity to each individual, if there is anything in the saying, “laugh and grow fat.” The house was full, and a goodly sum was realized for the benefit of John Gitaon Institute, which needs repair on Account of a providential acciden- Ion** <rinc^. HELD WITHOUT BAIL Charged With'Assault With In- tent to Murder. , Charlie Scott and Zeb Nix, two young men well known in Toccoa were before esquires Cook and Da- vis Monday on a charge of assault with intent to murder one Thos. Sudbury, a traveling scissors grin- der, and were bound over to supe- rior court without bail. It seems there were five young men who got Sudbury out with them on a lark, somewhere near the cemetery where they made him drunk, and, Sudbury says, knock- edand cuffed him unmercifully, but that he got away from them and hid under a negro’s house near Mr. C. L. Mize’s residence, but he soon found that they were still looking for him and he crawled out and ran for town but was ovei taken on the hill at Mr. Mize’s residence, but again got loose and went in to Mr. Mize’s and begged for protec¬ tion. He finally came on to town and Marshal Camp had him put to bed at Mrs. Brooks’ boarding house, near Inman’s office. About an hour afterward Nix and Scott came to Mrs. Brooks’ and went in, ostensibly to buy a lunch, but when they got in the house they soon picked a fight with Sudbury, Scott knocking him down and Nix cut¬ ting the man through the stomach, making a gash about 3^ inches long. Dr. Davis, the attending physician, says Sudbury would have been killed had his stomach not been empty. Sudbury is a tramp and traveling scissors grind¬ er, who had been at work on our streets a few days previously. He seems to be improving. No cause is given for the affray. It is to be hoped that verdict of our justices will have a salutary ef¬ fect on the young men of our town who are inclined to be ‘‘tough. 9 ? Every citizen of Toccoa will uphold the officers of the law in the dis¬ charge of their duty. While we have a law let us administer it without fear or favor, and as good citizens respect the law as it is written. nize Husings. Special Correspondence to The Times. Mize, Oct. 12,1896. A light fall of rain visited this section of the South last Sunday night. The cotton crop is about harves¬ ted in this county. Mr. C. L. Mize of Toccoa, and son Henry visited Flintsville last week. Our good friend Prof. L. B. Wil¬ liams who has been sick for some time with typhoid fever, we are sorry to say, is not improving very fast. Miss Serena Hall is visiting the family of her brother Dr. J. R. Hall at this place. Richard Crump entered the Carnesville High School last Mon¬ day ; we predict for him a lively time at Carnesville. Prof. Lumpkin Payne attended preaching services at Liberty last Sunday. The regular Justice Court com¬ menced at Flintsville last Saturday and some of the “boys” came very near having a “fist and skull” com¬ batting affair. The “pops” were successful in electing all their candidates in this county, but there is one sweet con¬ solation that the grand old Demo¬ cratic party has and that is: w e are not dead yet by a jug full. It seems somewhat strange that a candidate running on a prohibition platform would attempt to buy votes with “corn licker.” We are highly pleased to see the Times-News changed from 4 to 8 pages. This means business and it won’t be long “afore the pigeon and the terrapin will be a-roostin’ on the same lim’,” and everybody will have plenty when Bryan is elected. Billy Brown. Removal Notice. Aunt Hester Tilley has moved her restaurant from the Times- News building to the building oc¬ cupied by Mr. Loden, as a shoe shop. She desires her customers to take notice of this change. If your children are subject to croup, watch for the first symptom of the disease — hoarseness. If Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child hoarse it will prevent the attack. Even after the croupy cough has appeared the attack can always be prevented by giving this remedy. It is also invaluable for colds and whooping cough. For sale by Wright & Edge, Druggists. Mrs. Wright’s reception last week in honor of her guests Misses Bruce and Wright, was the princi¬ pal social feature of the week.

Mr. Nich- ols also has this contract, The building, for the ime-being will be used for a Sabbath school, which was organized last Sunday at the residence of Mr. Greene with 17 members. When the factory is started least up it is expected to brin'g at it 300 people to our city, when is anticipated,this church will be needed. Notice to Hunters. There was a law passed at the last legislature making it a penalty of not less than $50 or more than $500 to shoot partridges or to have a partridge in your possession be¬ fore the first of November. Any party going before a justice of the Peace, and making a case, will re¬ ceive half the fine. Births. Rainey —Born to Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Rainey, Monday evening, a daughter. The Darlington, Wis., Journal says editorially of a popular pat¬ ent medicine: “We know from experience that Chamberlain’s Col¬ ic, Cholera and Diarrhcea Remedy is all that is claimed for it, as on two occasions it stopped excruciat¬ ing pains and possibly saved us from an untimely grave. We would not rest easy over night without it in the house.” This remedy undoubtedly saves more pain and suffering than any medi¬ cine in the world. Every family should keep it in the house, for it is sure to be needed sooner or later. For sale by Wright & Edge, Drug¬ gists. A Needy Woman. Mrs. Mitchell, the mother and only support of two small children, is sick and in distress in the base¬ ment of Matt Hughes residence, with no one to help or take care of her, except the few Christian la¬ dies around her. Last week Mrs. W. M. Kilgo found Mrs. Mitchell sick, without food or fire and in a damp, un¬ healthy basement, with two little children, all suffering for want of attention and food. Mrs. Kilgo took matters in hand and did what she could for the dis¬ tressed, assisted by the ladies the Ladies Aid Society of the Pres¬ byterian church. She would have been moved‘to healthier quarters, but her physician said that she too sick to be moved, and the base¬ ment was whitewashed and made habitable as possible. Dr. Davis reports the woman •improving some. Her husband in the chaingang for having com¬ mitted larceny near Toccoa months ago. The Cotton Factory. Work at the cotton fautory merrily on. Several cottages are going up on the factory grounds for operatives, and they are modern four, five and six room residences instead of usual small factory shanties. The large, and probably the finest boiler in this section Georgia is up and nearly pleted,but President Matheson has plenty to do, and will be kept busy from now till Jan. 1, putting in and placing new machinery which will soon begin to arrive. An enormous cistern was dug last week, which is in size about 50 feet in diameter and 12 feet deep. of its future Toccoa owes much prosperity to the promoters of the Toccoa Cotton Mills.
