SOUTHERN RECORD,
Toccoa, Ga.
Mr. A. W. McConnell of Carnes-
ville was a pleasant caller on The
Record Tuesday. Mr. McConnell
made old Franklin one of the best
clerks she ever had and since his
retirement from that office he has
opened a mercantile business in
Carnesville,where he is now hand¬
ling musical instruments, sewing
machines, etc.
Mr. J. B. Tomlinson, and son,
now of Demorest, but formerly of
Toccoa, were interested spectators
at the auction of horses last Satur-
day.
The Southern Industrial and
Colonization Society has something
near 1000 City lots in Toccoa which
they will soon plat and lay off for
sale.
Dr. D. M. Snelson of Toccoa
will be at the Speqcer House,
Clarkesville, all of next week. YV e
advise our friends in that section
to call on the doctor if they are in
need of Dental work.
Newt Wells from near Middle
River came to town Tuesday and
tied his horse in the rear of H. J.
Busha’s store. After doing some
trading he went back to his buggy
to go home, but found that some
Nimrod or other gentleman ( r) had
stolen his double-barrelled shot
gun. At last account the thief had
not been apprehended.
Big line Drummers Samples of

Russell & Mulkey.
Some household goods and a box
of carpenters’ tools were sold at
auction, on the street in front of
the Justice court room, Wednesday
ot last week, by Constable Bennett.
We did not learn to whom the
household goods belonged, nor for
whom sold, but the carpenters’ tools
were sold for a board bill contract¬
ed w’ith uncle Alex Mauldin, of
the Manldin House.
There’s only one kind of printing
that we don’t do. That’s the poor
kind. That's the kind you don’t
want. But when you do want
something that is neat, clean, right-
up-to-date, printed on good paper,
with fine ink, from type that is
new, and of latest face, set in an
artistic and intelligent manner—in
short, when you want a strictly
first-class job, just write or come to
The Record office and make your
wants known.
Toccoa was treated last week to
her first auction sale of horses.
Messrs. Clark & Bailey, of Chatta¬
nooga, brought a car load of fine
animals here and sold several last
Saturday. On account of the cold
rain the sale did not prove as grat-
ifying as the auctioneers wished,
and they postponed sales till Tues¬
day of this week, when they closed
out the remainder of the load..
It does one good to go into a nice
photographic studio. Toccoa has
one of the best in Georgia and also
one of the neatest. We refer to
the studio of Mr. George L. Mat¬
teson, the young Michigander who
cast his lot with Toccoans last fall,
lie is doing a good business, and
giving genuine satisfaction to his
customers.
An exchange is authority for the
following: Apples, it is said, can
be kept for two years perfectly
sound by wrapping them in news-
paper in such a manner as to exclude
air. The subscription must be paid
j n full on the newspaper, or the
dampness resulting from the dew
w ill spoil the fruit,
The following to the city editor
of The Record is highly appreci¬
ated : “I congratulate you on se¬
curing the 5000 acres of la .id and
the Southern Industrial and Coloni¬
zation Society to operate at Toccoa.
It has certainly been attained thro’
your efforts.” Yours truly,
M. H. Dillard, Athens, Ga.
Russell & Mulkey are still telling
the good folks of Toccoa and vicin-
jty of the many good things they
keep on hand through the columns
of The Record. This firm is do
ing a good business, because they
sell good goods at low prices.
The “Old Reliable,” B.P.Brown,
Jr., is selling lots of guano and other
merchandise. People like to pat¬
ronize Ben Brown, because they
know’ he will, under no circum¬
stances, misrepresent his goods.
The Rfcord has received many
compliments on the change in the
appearance of the paper, and also
on its general newsiness.
W. T. Rowe has associated with
him Mr. Tom Stonecypher, under
the name of Rowe & Stonecypher,
and will handle fresh meats and
vegetables.
The infant child of Mr. and Mrs.
G R Lot k r idge died at their home
last Thursday night, of inflamma¬
tion of the bow’els. They have the
sympathy of the community.
J. R. Mann has added something
useful to his shoe department, in
the way of a patent foot power
button fastener. When he sells a
pair of button shoes he puts new
buttons on them with this machine
in such a manner that it is impos¬
sible for them to come off. The
buttons will stay on as long as there
is a piece of leather to hold them.
Ladies should bear this in mind
when they buy shoes.
Dr. Snelson, the dentist, will be
in Clarkesville, all of next week on
professional business. He can be
found at the Spencer House.
Russell & Mulkey have treated
themselves to a new bulletin board,
which is a novelty. It has a ther¬
mometer and clock attached and
plenty of space to write their spe¬
cial bargains which they may have
to offer from time to time.
t t Madam,” said the book agent,
politely, “I am taking orders for the
latest and most complete encyclo¬
paedia ever published. It is
issued—” “You are merely wast-
ing your time,” replied the lady,
without waiting for him to finish.
“I have no use for an encyclopaedia.

Every column of a newspaper
contains from five thousand to
twenty-five thousand distinct pieces
of metal, according to the size of
the paper and type. The displace¬
ment of one of these means an
error. Is it any wonder that errors
sometimes occur? Still some peo¬
ple are shocked to see mistakes in
a newspaper.
Glenn Davis tells a good story,
in which Mack Payne, the mana¬
ging partner of the Toccoa Leather
Co., got the laugh on a New' Yorker.
Though the story is old to most
Toccoans, it is too good to keep to
ourselves : A year or so ago Mack
Payne, Glenn Davis and several
other Toccoa gentlemen were in
New York, both for pleasure anc.
business. Now, the average New
Yorker is a good business man and
is at all times looking out for a
chance to extend his trade in a pro¬
fitable field. The Toccoa boys
went to Broadw r ay Central hotel,
where most all Southerners stop,
and registered. This particular busi¬
ness man looked over the hotel re-
gister, and, spying a delicate chi-
rography—unlike anybody else’s
hand write (for no one else can w r rite
as pretty (?) a hand as Mack)—the
drummer immediately walked up
to the Toccoa crowd and introduced
himself, and told them that he
would like to show them through
his mammoth establishment, and if
they wanted to buy goods he Nvould
be pleased to open an account with
them. After a few minutes’ con¬
versation the New Yorker said : “I
see you gentlemen are from Toccoa,
Ga. I’ve been all over Georgia,
but have not had the pleasure of
stopping in your city. Where is
it, anyway?” Mr. Payne seemed
greatly surprised, and said : “Toc¬
coa ! Toccoa! and you do not know
where Toccoa is? The h —1 you
don’t! Well, I’ll be dog-gone!
You ain’t been nowhere!” The
drummer made a bee line for the
door and w'as not again seen.
\Y right & Edge, Toccoa’s gentle¬
manly and courteous druggists and
pharmacists, have placed a pretty
soda fount in their drug store, from
which they propose to quench the
burning thirst of mankind, in the
way of beautiful soda water, sweet
soda water,exhilarating soda water,
cold soda water, and the best soda
water ever mixed with sweetened
wind and dispensed to a famishing
public.
We expect great things for Toc¬
coa, now that the Southern Indus¬
trial and Colonization Society is
about ready to roll up its sleeves
and go to work locating people in
Toccoa.
B. P. Brown, Jr.. Toccoa’s pop¬
ular merchant, has at last found
time to change his advertisement,
to be found in this issue. Ben is
doing a big business and deserves it.
The Record job office does more
fine job work than any other coun¬
try office in Georgia. Moral : The
goods are right, the prices are right
and the work is right.
Mr. L. S. Allen has moved into
the Whitman house near the Epis¬
copal church. His office is now at
his residence instead of the Simp¬
son House, as heretofore.
A new line of fine Stationery,
Blank Books, Memorandums, etc.
Just received at The Record Sta¬
tionery store.
Mr. Irve Rothell, of Ft. Madison,
S. C., attended the auction sale of
horses Saturday. Irve is one of the
Fort’s progressive merchants.
Judge Cook has put in his store
a new and very pretty soda fount,
from which he proposes to dispense
liquid sweetness.
Mrs. Dr. Lamb* of Demorest,
was the guest of friends in Toccoa
last Tuesday night.
John Martin is selling goods for
the old reliable firm of J. H. Vick¬
ery & Sons.
Getting ready to plant guano and
going into debt now seems to be
the rule of the average farmer.
Col. H. H. Dean, one of Gaines¬
ville’s bright “limbs of the law,”
was in Toccoa on legal business
last Saturday.
The Ideal Panacea.
James L. Francis, Alderman,
Chicago, says: “I regard Dr.
King’s new discovery as an . Ideal
Panacea for Coughs, colds and
Lung Complaints, having used it
in my family for the last five years,
to the exclusion of physician’s pre¬
scriptions or other preparations. 1 1
Rev John Burgus, Keokuk, Iowa,
