Hard at It Again, and “Always AT IT!”
and that’s what makes things hum. We are at it again, and propose to begin the spring months with the same business spirit as
characterized the last three months of 1897. We keep everything usually kept in a first class general merchandise store.
The Greatest Values for Least Money
has been the slogun of our success, and the absolute truth of the statement has been testified to by hundreds of satisfied buyers, and
our prices continue at rock bottom. This the beginning of the Guano season; we sell guano.

By all who have ever lived or
stayed in Toccoa for any length of
time it is conceded, that in many
particulars Toccoa can’t be beat and
is one of the biggest places for its
size on top the globe. From a bus¬
iness point of view it is ahead of
most places t wice its size.
Religiously Toccoa has many ex¬
cellent advantages that no city could
surpass.
Socially it would rival an older,
wealthier, larger place in a point
of culture, elegance and refinement.
So taking it up one side and down
the other Toccoa is a fine place.
During the winter the social life
has been unusually gay.
The past week has also been full
of the most pleasant functions.
On thursday afternoon, March
the twenty-fourth, Mrs. Edward
Newton entertained a dozen or
more ladies at an afternoon tea.
A raw disagreeable afternoon it
was outside yet within this com¬
fortable home all was coziness and
beauty.
The color used in the decoration
was violet.
The guests were bidden with
dainty little violet tinted cards
with a violet leaf let through the
envelope and tied with a violet
tinted ribbon of the same tint.
The delicate and almost fragrant
hue of the timid little flower which
modestly peeps out in the early
spring was seen in eVery decoration
and carried out in the delicious me-
nu of frozen punch, cakes and
bonbons.
Those win were favored on this
occasion were iss Crain of Indi¬
ana, Miss Swearingen ol North
Carolina, Miss Nardin of xAnder-
son, Miss Schaefer of Baltimore,
Mrs. Caroline Simpson, Mrs. Palm¬
er Simpson, Mrs. Kilgo, Mrs. Bar¬
rel, Mrs. Eph Mitchell, Mrs. Bur¬
gess, Mrs. Ceph Simpson, Mrs.
Bruce, Mrs. Charles Dance and
Mrs. McAllister
Mrs. Palmer Simpson entertained
at a luncheon Friday in honor of
.Mrs. William Lunney of Seneca,
who has been the charming guest
of Mrs. Mason.
This lovely, elegant home is so
well known for its hospitality that
nothing need be said in praise of
the spirit of entertainment—the re¬
ception one always receives at the
hands of this clever little hostess.
The diningroom looked specially
sweet and attractive on this occa-
sion. The table was covered with
a very handsome lunch cloth—made
of lovely damask with insertion let
in and a very handsome border of
lace six or eight inches wide. This
was laid over the dainties pink cov¬
er. The flowers used were peacti
blossoms. The menu was delic¬
ious.
Those who were invited to meet
Mrs. Lunney on this occasion were
Mrs. Harrel, Mrs. Burgess, Mrs.
Allen, Mrs. George Ed wards, Mrs.
Mason, Miss Davenport, Mrs. W.
C. Edwards and Mrs. West.
The last meeting of the Woman’s
Literary Club was with Mrs. Vick¬
ery—after a unusually interesting
programme delicious cakes and
cream were served. The club had
as its guest Miss Nardio of South
Carolina. The following is the
programme tor the next meeting
which will be with Mrs. Allen
in April:

The happy little members of Mrs.
Burgess’ Sunday school class met

and Baltimore styles.
Toccoa will be famous In spite
of all reverses; she is now posing
as the birth place of Dr. W. F.
Cole, whose home is now at Waco,
Texas. Dr. Cole is the discoverer
of the true physiology of the year,
which discovery bids fair to revo-
lutiomze the treatment of that or

should greet the Simkins-Fabel
Comedy Co., on this first visit to
Toccoa. Prices 25 and 35 cents.
J. L. Brown of Cornelia, candi-
date for sheriff, was in town one
day this week. Jim is a good man
for the position, and no doubt if
elected will make the best kind of
an officer. Jim has been a friend
to Toccoa and Toccoa people ap¬
preciate that fact. He is a brother
to Ben and Joe Brown of this city,
two as good men as there are in the
county.
Lewis Davis has returned to Toc¬
coa from the West. It is hoped
that Lewis will again decide to
make Tcccoa his home. Toccoa
needs another good lawyer.
“I feel it my duty to give you a
truthful statement of what Cham¬
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar¬
rhoea Remedy did,” writes J. S.
Collins, of Monroe, S. C., “I had
a child about two years old, that
had the diarrhoea for two months.
I tried all the best known remedies
but none gave the least relief.
When this remedy came to hand, I
gave it as directed, and in two days
the child was completely cured.”

A Halt flust Be Made.
Last Sabbath those who attend¬
ed the 11 o’clock services at the
Presbyterian church enjoyed a
splendid sermon by the pastor, Mr.
Harrell, from the text : “Is the
young man, Absolum, safe?” The
preacher pointed out the duty of
parents in protecting their children
from the evils of this world—card
playing, intemperance, cigarettes,
etc.
At the same moment, in the city
lockup, charged with retailing spir¬
ituous liquors, were the famous
Ben Dooley and Mary Smith, the
couple who have been the greatest
curse to this community of any two
people who ever lived here; for
fifteen years or more they have sold
whiskey and. kept a disorderly
house within a mile or so of town.
They have paid out several thous-
and^dollars in lawyers’ fees, fines,
etc. ; have been in the chaingang
several times, and it now looks as
if they were to be sent back for a
long time.
An unusual scene followed the
discourse at the church : About
2 130 p. in. a large crowd assembled
at Judge Cook’s court room, where
Ben and Mary were to be tried;
i the defendants had demanded an
immediate hearing, and when the
case was called, Mr. Dooly said he
was not ready, but the State had
gone to so much trouble to get
ready, and as Attorney Jones, for
the State, could not be here until
next week, on account of Carnes-
ville court, which he must attend,
the trial proceeded. They were
bound over to Superior court.
The case was made against these
parties by the best people in Toccoa ;
and they will be prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law for selling
liquor to the young men, boys and
little boys. Boys not more than
or 12 years of age have been known
to get liquor at the home of these
people—and wine here in town—
upon which they have oftentimes
become intoxicated. These are
facts, and we are sorry to publish
them, but it is time that a
stand was taken against this evil,
and help the officers, and Jim
Bright and Dan Hogsed, who have
taken the first step, and if their
hands are held up—and they ought
to be—at least by those professing
Christianity, the monstrous, hydra¬
headed evil will be totally crushed.
Postell Loden a young man
known to our citizens, and the son
of good parents, was arrested for
selling whiskey for Ben Dooly soon
after Ben’s trial. For some time
Postell has made his home at the
Dooly residence, and Mr. Loden
and wife had lost all control over
their son, and the consequence is
that the future seems rather dark
for Postell. Mr. and Mrs. Loden
are respected and well thought of
people, and they have done all they
could to prevent such a climax to
their son’s life, but the influences
with which he came in contact is
the same with which a large num-
ber of other young; men and school
^°} s °‘ the town are surrounded.
It is time the indignant fathers
sh ould rise U P in righteous wrath
,
and ’ at least ’ tr >' to crush this evil
^ rom our midst. It is the bounden
du D’ °f e%er }* parent in this city,
whether he be a professed member
ot a c ^ urc ^ or not ’ to ta ^ e a hand
in this affair > and h is certainly
more dian the duty of Christians to
P ut down the evils which every day
confront and surround the children
ol Toccoa.
It remains with you, dear reader,
whether you will be on the right
or not. It remains with you
whether you will protect your chil-
dren or not—whether you will
stamp out this evil or hot; don’t
put it another other fellow; it is
your duty.
On the list of witnesses which
was before Judge Cook in this case
we saw the name of a city offi¬
cial ; we also saw the name of a
county officer. If officials will buy
this whiskey and wink at and abet
the over-riding of the law, some¬
thing ought to be done. What
should be done?
Will you help?

Dead Man Found.
:;: l
Patten, near Brasstown, discovered
the dead body of a white man, and
from papers found in clothing, his
name was probably Reed, whose
home was probably in Macon coun¬
ty, N. C. He had been dead about
three weeks, it is supposed, as he
was seen by people on the road in-
quring the way to Clayton, about
that time. He stated then that he
was sick.
When found the body was nude,
with head resting on the root of tree.
Verdict of coroner’s jury was death
from natural causes. He was bu¬
ried near where found.
