I Usually newspaper men have a great antipathy to a change of the name of their paper for various rea¬ sons : Among them, the older a pa¬ per may be the better known it is and in many instances it has been a welcome visitor to households from childhood to old age,and from generation to generation. Such is the case with The Toc- coa Times and The News, especi¬ ally. The News has been publish¬ ed here for tw T enty years and its weekly visits have been eagerly looked for by some of its friends and subscribers ever since the first issue in 1872, but today we send in its stead the young giant, The Southern Record. The name is changed but the principle upon w T hich the News was reared still remains and the new paper takes up guard duty for Toccoa where the Times-News left off. The name is changed be use we hope, henceforth, not only o fully cover the local field, but tc tell of the glories of this beautiful South¬ land of ours, and particularly of this God-favored section to our less fortunate brothers in the cold and frigid north and the wind-swept prairies of the west, and ask them to cast their lot in the land of pe¬ rennial spring and pleasant sunshine and help develop that which a mu¬ nificent God lias given us—the best country on earth. Genial George Erwin and Col. J. C. Edwards, of Clarkesville, were visitors to Toccoa, “the Beau- tiful,” Wednesday. We are always j glad to see these “boys” in Toccoa. They are good fellows and good lawyers too. Clark and Bailey guarantee every animal they sell. GX.Matteson, the photographer, made a business trip to and Demorest Monday. George ! has a good eye for beauty and wants to add the beaming smiles of the mountain lass to his collection of photographs. Toccoa continues to grow. New houses are going up everyday. If one takes a walk over our little city once a week, each walk will show some new enterprise or residence going up. We expect to have 5000 people resident in Toccoa by the spring of ’98. | The Record expects to be a potent factor in the upbuilding of j Toccoa in the future, and we believe our efforts will prove of more avail than in the past, though no one agency has done more for Toccoa than did the Times during its exis- I tenceofnvoand ha , f in a Toccoa. Elegant horses and mares are to pe sold at auction Saturday at ll A. M. at Hogsed & Garland’s stablas- Go and see them.

The local land company only lack a few hundred acres of land to or¬ ganize and go actively to work in developing this section. Toccoa is vastly interested in the outcome of this enterprise. It is my firm belief that Toccoa is calmly sleep¬ ing over great possibilities; that this one enterprise is capable of do¬ ing more to attract people to this section of Georgia than anything that heretofore has been started in the Piedmont region. Another thing, the gentlemen backing the enterprise are men of ample means and widely known in business cir¬ cles, who never let any enterprise in which they are interested lan¬ guish when once they take hold. Now what the citizens of Toccoa need do is to talk the enterprise up to home people and get them in¬ terested enough to list their lands with the society. There are too many land poor people in this section for the coun¬ try to ever become prosperous as long as this condition of things lasts. They need more money and less land. The more neighbors they have the more valuable will be¬ come their property. There was never a fairer propo¬ sition offered than that offered by the company here. Those who put their lands in the hands of the de¬ velopment company for sale abso¬ lutely run no risk as they are paid cash before a deed is asked for,and the}' are not asked to contribute one cent toward the development and sale of said property. Beside ail this, those who list p r0 p er {-y are given 20 per cent of Us vaIue free) ln the stock of the any _ that ; S) you are given a bonusof20per cent to selI your p r0 p er ty at a fair figure and you at onC(; become a partner in the enter . prise with nothing to lose and your ^ p£r cent made clear ;f the enter . prise is a success. If it should be a failure you lose nothing but stock which was given you free, and the company lose both money and stock —their only chance to make money is in making the other So per cent of stock valuable. Could anything be fairer? Dr. Jeff Davis is the trustee and Mayor Owen is the attorney, they could not, nor would I recommend anything that was not eminently fair. [Since the above was written the company has secured the necessary 5000 acres of land and will now en¬ ter actively at work in platting, surveying and otherwise preparing to develop and colonize their lands. They want 20,000 acres more.] It flust Be Done. We must make at least 100 sittings in the next three weeks, and in order to do so we will make prices that will be an induce¬ ment.
