BUSINESS
BRINGING
PRINTING !
You can make money without Printing, but it is
hard. You can do business with badly set Billheads
and old-fashioned,-rubber-stamp-looking letterheads
and business cards—but you won’t—you can’t af¬
ford it—good work is cheap enough. We will set
your commercial work for you in the highest style of
the art of simplicity—something to give distinctive-
ness to your letterheads, billheads, cards, etc., and
we’ll do the press work equally as well.
We have all the new faces of type and employ
only expert workmen in our job department.
No matter where you are we can give you a
neat notehead or envelope at $2 per 1,000. We
have higher priced goods.
Our prices are right on everything in our line—
and we do a general printing business.
Nobody does Finer Commercial Printing than We.

strated that nine-tenths of all the
cases of menstrual disorders do
not require a physician’s attention

taken in the privacy of a woman’s
own home insures quick relief and
speedy cure. Women need not
hesitate now. Wine of Cardui re¬
quires for no humiliating examina¬

disease that comes under the head
of “female troubles”—disordered
menses, falling of the womb,
“whites,” change of life. It makes

The Beautiful
Toccoa is one of the most pros-
perous little cities in Georgia. Its
business enterprise ‘t.c
ergy have become too well known
to need extended mention. It is
the trading center of a large area of
thickley populated territory, and is
the junction of two important rail¬
ways. the Southern and the Elber-
ton Air Line. giv.,^ UnvAVCllCU
facilities for transportation. Ten
re S ular passenger trains stop daily
at tJ ie depot, running in every di¬
rection. Toccoa has a population
of about 2000 and is steadily grow-
mg. It has splendid public schools,
four churches afford ample oppor-
tunity for those who wish wor-
ship; branches of the most Tmpor-
tant secret societies are fully organ-
ized; the people never go to sleep,
but kee P U P tlie ,1um ot business
every day in the year. The Toccoa
auditorium auditorium and and Taber Tabernacle used for
summer protracted meetings, Lec-
tures, etc., by the best talent ob-
tain able is an institution of
.. pleisure „ . „
meetings furnish to’thou!
san ds people each year. Tocco.
is well fitted to make a home for all
industrious and enterprising men
and women seeking a location. All
such arc welcomed and letters of
inqnirv are cheerfully and prompt-
ly answered.
And in addition to the induce-
pure, tool water, 1 occoa can boast
of her healthfulness. Habetsham
coulU y. sl,< V vs lhe lowest rale of
mortality of any county in the Um-
ted States, and the elevation, per-
feet drainage, and surroundings of
our town preclude the possibility of
any local cause for disease, and
serve to make invalids recuperate
rapidly.
This section abounds in grand
and beautiful scenery. Toccoa
falls are just two miles away, and
a drive of sixteen miles through a
picturesque region brings one to
Tallulah Falls. And besides these
noted objects there are many spots
of charming verdure, cleur, swift¬
flowing streams and abrupt hill¬
sides, massive rocks and yawning
precipices, tiiat delight and awe
the beholder, all within two or
three miles of town.
The manufacturing interests of
the town are not many, but upon
them and other enterprises of a like
character depend, principally, the
future of the town. We have in
operation a furniture factory, which
employs from 75 to 100 hands, a
tannery which employs from 20 to
hands. A cotton factory which
e „ iploys about l5o hands,
The social and business relations
of the people from the North and
from the South, who have freely
mingled together in this region
have always been pleasant, arnica
ble and friendly. No differences
growing out of sectional feeling
have ever been known, or ever need
occur.
The people of Georgia are warm
hearted, generous and hospitable,
and welcome sober and industrious
people who come to make homes
among them.
The negro population of Haber¬
sham county amounts to only 13
per cent, a decrease of three per
cent between 1880 and 1890.
The town is on the great south-
ern pleateau of the Blue Ridge
Mountain and lies 1090 feet above
the level of the sea. The high al¬
titude ; the life-giving mountain
breezes ; the numberless cool, crys¬
tal springs; the pure, soft water in
wells and streams, and-the mild sea-
sons with their gentle changes, all
combine to make this favored re.
?“ eT!'SEtS. health '
No malaria exists, and malarial
diseases are unknown in the vicini-
ty of Toccoa. No epidemic has
tever prevailed
This region is absolutely free
of yellow ^j fever visitations. That
fat desease has never been epi-
demic in any part of the world
with an altitude of 700 feet or more
above sea level.
During the summer of 1888,
when the yellow fever was decima-
ting the population of Florida, and
spreading consternation among
the cities of northerr Alabama,
when it dealt death daily, and in
" hen Brunswick was devas¬
tated by this dread disease, north
Georgia opened her generous arms
to receive the fear stricken refu-
S ces ’ e ' e " though the yellow
scourge u had already attacked them,
The terrified fugitives came by
thousands, came with fever fires
consuming them ; came with the
touch of death upon their sallow
faces: came almost hopeless and
desparing— and breathing the pure
air of Georgia’s highlands their
health and strength returned.
j And northen Georgia did not suf-
fer for its generous welcome. The
fever did not spread. No new
cases were reported from contact
with the refugees, and those who
caught tbe infection before they
came, speedily recovered.
