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.

Ex-Senator Ingalls on the Earth
Hunger of Our Race.
The most prominent quality of
our race is an insatiable hunger for
the horizon. To our stock more
than to any other belongs the ma-
terial conquest of the globe.
When the Mayflower dropped
anchor in Plymouth harbor, 278
years ago, there were not so many
English speaking people in t| le
world as there are inhabitants now
in the state of New York.
When Shakespeare wrote
“Hamlet”,cventyyear.earUer.here
were not more than five million peo-
pie on earth to whom the language
of the soliloquy was not a foreign
tongue. In less than three centuries
this precinct and suburb of man-
kh,d has extended portals till those
who speak the language of Shakes-
peare control the destinies of four
hundred , , millions, and , the , political .. .
of the exiles of plymouth are
»»premeov«more than a
part of the land surface of the planet.
The most egotistic and
of all races, we have been from the
beginning, on both sides of the
ocean, the most intrepid pioneers,
the most adventurous explorers,col-
onizers, State builders, extermina-
ting Indians, enslaving negroes,
compelling China to open her ports
and keep her inhabitants off our
continent, slaughtering Egyptians
and Hindoos in the name ol justice
and order,forcing la ws,institutions,
civilization and religions upon
ferior nations, to open markets for
our merchandise and new fields for
ambition.
OUR impulse TO RUN everything
We are impelled by an irresistible
se to rule, to govern, to con -1
quer, to communicate the principles
and practice of self-government, to
organize society, to make history,
to regenerate mankind. The ter-
ritonal . . of c the , United T •
extension t
States from the colonial period has
been hindered and obstructed by
Spain. Beyond the Mississippi was
nf a t0
S e is our ancient, inveterate H and
implacable enemy. She refused free
navigation of the Mississippi, pro-
tested against the sale of Louisiana
by Napoleon,retained Mobile,ceded
Florida under duress, interfered
with the annexation of Texas, and
has made her Cuban relations a
petpetual cause of irritation and
menace. Prescient statesmen have
long felt that war with Spain was
inevitable,and now that it has come
the people will insist upon a full
and final settlement. It has been a
long account of intolerable wrongs,
and there must not only be satisfac-
tion for the past, and indemnity for !
the present, but immunity for the 1
future.
Taking the census of chickens in
the shell is proverbially uncertain,
’
but . maybe safely
it assumed that
Spain will have no colonial posses¬
sions when we are through with
her, nor any navy, nor any power
to inflict injury except upon herself.
If, as Lord Salisbury says, she is an
expiring nation, she will be the
victim of the malignant despair
which her own crimes have engen-
dered, like the scorpion,which, sur¬
rounded by fire, stings itself and
dies. To suppose that we shall re¬
linquish the Philippines and Cuba
and Porto Rico is to forget the rul-
ing passion of the Anglo-Saxon
race. In the last century we have,
" ’
by purchase . and , by , war, added to
our terntory nearly twenty-six hun-
dred thousand square m.les, an area
more than three times greater than
our original boundaries.
WE STOP WHEN WE ARE SATISFIED
Since the Mexican conquest and
the Gadsden purchase the i
and Alas¬
ka cession we have ceased to ac-
quire, not because the appetite was
lost, but because we had enough.
But now have built I
we up the |
Empire of the West,and the public
domain is exhausted. Not an acre
upon which wheat or corn can be
raised without irrigation remains
for pre-emption or homestead settle¬
ment. Our population is becom-
ing congested in gieat cities, and
the crisis predicted by Macaulay
seems to be approaching, when it
might be necessary to sacrifice liber " i
ty to preserve civilization*
These iertile „ . islands, now almost
in a state of nature,with their enor-
mous capacities for production un do!
developed, will offer an open
main over \v ich our surplus popu-
lation can diffuse itself; give new
fields for enterprise; stimulate
commerce; furnish opportunities
for capital; provide markets from
which we are now °" excluded- excluded, he1r> help

of an nadok • fraternity >
A few hide-bound conservative,
archaic statesmen, idolators of the
obsolete, politicians of the Methu-
sa l e h and Melchisedec school, all
who prefer to perish by precedent
rather than be saved by innovation,
will protest, as in the past they
protested against the Louisiana
purchase as unconstitutional, de¬
nianded the impeachment ot Jeffer-
son, and threatened to dissolve the
Union.
THE SUGAR TRUST AND THE FA-
thers.
In reverence for the sacred tradi-
tion of the Fathers of the Republic,
and in patriotic apprehension lest
some of the limite of the Constitu-
tion may be rashly overstepped,
nothing can exceed the disinterested
devotion of the Sugar Trust, whose
agents have hastened to the
upon the announcement that the
TT House n Committee ... on Foreign Af-
fairs has agreed to report a jo : nt
resolution for the annexation
Hawaii. The unselfish solicitude
of these philanthropists in search
of objects over which their hearts
can weep and their sensibilities ex-
pand, as they dilate upon the dan-
ger ot fracturing the Constitution,
violation the traditional policy of
the fathers, going back to Wash-
ington’s farewell address, and in-
curring burdens of taxation for
fortifications and ships to defend
Honolulu, has had no parallel in
effrontery since the gentleman who
was convicted of killing his father
and mother threw himself on the
mercy of the Court and asked for
clemency on the ground that he
was an orphan.
With Dewey in a hostile harbor,
exiled from every neutral port in
the Pacific, waiting for tardy rein-
forcements from San krancisco, it
is easy now, to discern the incal-
cuable advantage which would in-
sure . to us u by the posesion • of e the
Sandwich Islands. With a de -
pot for coal, amunition and
subsistance in Pearl ^ Harbor,
midway *°J TTl’ '■ r"
troops could be taken m each
port, and the voyage made with
less expense and greater speed.
such considerations are as the small
dust of the balance, compared with
the possible reduction of a fraction
of a cent a pound on sugar by the
competition of the cane fields of
Hawaii.
Sam Jones in one of his spiritual
disclosures spoke of a clergyman’s
wife who was a better preacher
than her husband, because he al¬
ways required a text for a sermon,
while all she needed was a pretext.
The Sugar Trust only wants a
pretext to be patriotic.
TIIE patriotism o f young
WEALTH.
Qne of tfae mogt grat ifying indi-
cations r- of c the revival • , of c the Ameri- .
can spirit is the enthusiasm and
ardor with which young men of
wealth and leisure and pedigree are
quitting golf, tennis and coaching
for the service of their country.
Quite a number have already en¬
listed as captains, majors and colo¬
nels, with attractive uniforms at
large pay. Several Senators have
laid their sons as a sacrifice upon
the altar of their country. Some
Spartan mothers have reluctantly
surrendered their offspring to the
perils and hardships of ornamental
ff itions . Many sentlemen
, have sold , , to . the ,, public , r their • private .
^ . of whjch th had become
a , „ price considerabIy in ex .
cess of the SU m at which they had
lo been in the market without
purchasers.
It is pointed out by the chroni-
clers of the time that such instan¬
ces of disinterested self-denial will
go far toward allaying social preju¬
dice, mitigating discontent, and
refuting the venerable aspersion
that it is easier for a camel to pass
through the eye of a needle than for
a rich man to enter into the King¬
dom of Heaven.

Toccoa,
The Beautiful
| Toccoa is one of the most pros-
perous little cities in Georgia. Its
| business enterprise and tireless en¬
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-
I ways, the Southern and the Elber-
ton Air Line, giving unexcelled
facilities h )r transportation. Ten
re g ubir passenger trains stop daily
at tbe depot ’ runnine in ovcr -V d «-

four in S- splendid , . public schools,
churches afford ample oppor-
tunity for those who wish to wor-
Si tant secret societies ,°- f "' are e Th full} i,npor organ- '
ized; the people never go to sleep,
hut keep up the hum of business
every day in the year. The Toccoa
auditorium and Tabernacle used for
summer protracted meetings, Lec¬
tures, etc., by the best talent ob¬
tainable is an institution of
which the city is justly proud. Its
meetings furnish pleasure to thou¬
sands of people each year. Tocco*
is well fitted to make a home for all
industrious and enterprising men
and women seeking a location. All
such are welcomed, and letters of
inquiry are cheerfully and prompt¬
ly answered.
And in addition to the induce-
ments of f pleasant atmosphere and
pure? coo water? Toccoa can boast
of her healthfulness, llabetsham

.
mortality of any county in the Uni

picturesque region brings one to
^^oVects there a?e“ spols
of charming verdure, clear, swift-
flowing streams and abruDt hill-
i sides, massive rocks and yawning
: precipices, that 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 xoo hands, a
tannery which employs from 20 to
65 hands. A cotton factory which
employs about 150 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, amica¬
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.

scourge had already attacked them.
T{ie terrified fugitives came by
thousands, came with fever fires
i 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

, fever did not spread. No new

with the refugees, and those who
caught the infection before they
came, speedily recovered.
For more than two generations
this part of Habersham caunty has
been famed throughout the entire
South for its unsurpassed healthful-
