From The Clayton Tribune.
The following items from The

Gibraltar York left Monday
for Boise City Idaho. There are a
number of Rabuns young men in
the west and they keep going.
We expect to be engaged for an
indefinite time making a prelimi¬
nary survey of the Blue Ridge and
Atlantic Railroad.
There was a string of fire about
a mile long burning on the Black
Rock mountain last Thursday night
which was a charming sight.
Reece Carter of Toccoa was in
town Monday. R. J. Garland, of
Toccoa was in town Saturday
W. E. Thompsons tannery, grist
mill, shingle mill, boiler and engine
were destroyed by fire Tuesday
last, about noon. The building
was set on fire by sparks from the
engine. Mr. Thompsons loss is
about two thousand dollars and as
he had no insurance,is a total loss.
Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Whitmire
moved to Toccoa this week we
aegret very much to give them up.
The Granite Will Soon
Be Blasted.
THE MATERIAL ON GROUND.
The Machinery Expected Next
Week. The Rock People
flean Business.
There has been some uncertainty
regarding the proposed granite
quarries for a while, but now there
seems to be no hitch. IiT fact we
are informed that Mr. Troy, the
promoter, has had Mr. W. A. Fow
ler, who will have charge of the
commissary department of the quar¬
ries, to purchase the lumber for the
buildings at the mines. The crush¬
er and other machinery will arrive
next week.
Indirectly this enterprise will be
a help to Toccoa. The hands em¬
ployed, it is said, will be brought
here by the company, but the mon¬
ey they earn will be spent here,
and there will be oppotunities for
home labor.
The quarries will gradually de¬
velop into a more extensive enter¬
prise, and in |he long run it will be
of more advantage to Toccoa than
if it werejlocated in Seneca or any
other place.
A SPLENDID LECTURE.
To Be Delivered at the School
House Friday Night next,
By Lucian L. Knight, Georgia’s
Henry Grady the II.
At a meeting of the school board
last Friday it was decided to have a
lectare or two for the benefit of the
school, and steps have been taken.
Mr. Knight, the well known lec¬
turer, will be here next Friday eve-
ning. He will discuss the influ¬
ence of woman upon the life of the
republic.
Mr. Knight is one of the most
entertaining orators in the state,
and his lecture will doubtless prove
very interesting.
Following are a few of the opin¬
ions of some of the state papers of
Mr. Knight’s lectures :
‘It was a glorious blending of
wit and pathos, eloquence and
thought. It charmed and delight¬
ed all who heard it.”—LaGrange
Graphic.’
“One of the most remarkable
masters of beautiful thought and
facinating language who has come
to the front in Georgia for some
years past is Mr, Lucian L. Knight
of Atlanta.’’-Cedartown Standard.
“We shall remember Mr. Lucian
L. Knight’s address as like the pro¬
tean hues of a blessed bright opal
surrounded by perfect pearls of
truth. ’ ’—Rome Tribune.
Thus it will be seen Toccoan’s
will have an opportunity afforded
them of hearing something unusu¬
al in the lecture line, an opportu¬
nity, we trust, that will be grasped
readily.
Everything New This Seeson.
The climax of all tented amuse¬
ments, A. G. Allen’s Big Original
New Orleans colored Minstrels,
will appear in Toccoa Monday
night, April ist. under canvas.
The comyany includes some of the
best singers, dancers, cakewalkers
and colored specialty artists known
among the colored race. This is
the only Minstrel Company in the
United States that shows under a
canvas. Mr. Allen is the origina¬
tor of the idea and he has succeed¬
ed in getting together a minstrel or
ganization of such a size and mag¬
nitude that would be impossible to
be produced in an Opera House.
Owing to the large seating ca¬
pacity of his tent he is enabled to
place the price of anmission at
15 and 25 cents. Watch for street
parade at 10:30 a. m. day of the
show it

creasing or getting shabby. It would

out of door wear in the morning. White

of this class of costume than silk, but
the latter Is preferable for a costume

New York Telegram.
Blooming Hats.
The picture hats of the Frenchy order
that will be worn later in the season
will leave the impression that the trim¬
mer stood in a garden and trimmed
from the bush or tree. When your hat
suggests that, you may rest assured
you are wearing the right thing. The
poetry of nature is the latest cry in
millinery where flowers are used. We
find the long ostrich plume on low
crowned, wide, circular brimmed hats
fixed as grande mode. Indications
point to the abandonment of all small
birds. Women themselves are showing
a sensitiveness to wearing them lest
they be commented upon too freely in
public places.—Abby E. Underwood in
Woman’s Home Companion.
A Smart Spring Costume.
The gown has a white serge skirt,
box plaited and mounted on a deep fit¬
ted yoke, but with points, and bordered
with a band of the serge. At the hem
It is trimmed with five bands of light
blue canvas, four narrow and one wide.
The smart little Eton jacket is of blue
canvas, slashed at either side of the
front, with the edges held together by
a band of canvas fastened at the ends
