Some Sanitary Suggestions.
Chairman Davis, of the board of
health, is doing some good work
toward getting the town clean be¬
fore the hot summer days set in,
and sickness gets the upper hand.
And he has the support of the best
people in the City, yet strange to
say very many seem to be intirely
indifferent in fact creminaily negli-
gen in this vital matter. A week
or so ago we reproduced the town
ordinances, showing the duties and
responsibilities of all in this regard,
and we would suggest that they
look it up and inform themselves,
if they have not already done so,
that they may better help the doc¬
tor in his task, which is by no
means a pleasant one. For the
futher enlightment of our citizens
we reprint the following from the
City ordinances.
Section 48. Every owner or oc¬
cupant of any lot in the city of To¬
ccoa is required to remove or rem¬
edy anything on said lot which may
endanger the public health, and on
failure of the owner or occupant to
remove or remedy the same, after
due notice from mayor, marshal, or
any metnbor of Council, the same
shall be done by the marshal at the
cost of said owner or occupant; if
tlie occupant has but lately come
into possession, and the same has
not placed there by him, or any
member of his or her family, ro by
his or her permission, order or direc¬
tion, then it shall be removed at the
cost of the prior occupant, and if
not to be found, then at the cost of
the owner of tlie lot.
Section 49. Any owner or oc¬
cupant of any‘Iot who shall suffer
to remain on his or her lot owned or
occupied by him or her. any decay¬
ed flesh’ or vegetables, or any other
tiling which may annoy his or her
neighbors, or tend to affect the
health of any citizen, shall, on com¬
plaint to the marshal’ be required
to remove the same within six hours,
if it can be done (and the possibil¬
ity to be decided by the mayor,
mayor pro tern., or three members
of Council) shall, on conviction,
pay a fine of not exceeding one hun¬
dred dollars and costs, or be im¬
prisoned not exceeding thirty days,
or be confined at labor in the chain
gang not exceeding thirty days for
every six hours it is suffered to re¬
main ; and if it be adjudged a nuis¬
ance, in the manner prescribed by
the statute or ordinances of the City
of Toccoa, the marshal shall, in that
case by order, abate the same and
the offender shall pay the cost of
trial and abatement; or if the occu¬
pant has but lately come into pos-
session, and the same has not been
placed tliere by him or her or any
member of his or her family, or by
his or her consent or approbation
the costs of removal shall be charg¬
ed to the prior occupant, and it not
10 be found, the owner of the lot.
and on jndgment of the mayor,
or pro tern, or three members of
Council to that effect, execution
shall be issued by the clerk in favor
of the City of Toccoa against the
persons liable unber the provisions
of this ordinance.
Section 33. The marshal,
ty marshal or any special police¬
man shall give said owners or occu-
pants written notice of the exis-
r^Xr^r^ritS
notice, shall proceed to abate tlie
naisance as may be necessary ; and
the clerk shall issue execution for
costs of such abatement against
said owners or occupants and the
lot on which such nuisance may
exist.

Is There a Dog Law?
There seems to be as many dogs
in Toccoa as there are sands upon
the sea shore. YVe judge from
their yelping and fighting and fum¬
bling around at night.
They are thieving dogs too. One
of them a few nights since burglar¬
ized our editorial kitchen of a good
2 bit of roast. We don’t mind
them stealing all we have to eat,
however, if they would only let us
sleep at night, for we get nervous
withont sleep, and a nervous edi¬
tor is liable to get into an alterca
tion. Why don’t people raise up
their dogs in the right way? Or
else kill them. We are having
our shot gun sharpened up and
propose to correct these dogs early
training at every opportunity.

We venture the assertion that
that there are no two men doing
more for the upbuilding, progress,
and prosperity of the counties jf
North East Georgia than Mr. A.
H. Mecklin and his associate, Mr.
R. E. McCracken of the Toccoa
Record, and receiving less credit.
They should be held in tlie highest
estimation by hei citizens, and
given a liberal patronage.—Clares-

STAND BY"
THE SCHOOL.
Somebody will not attend
the lecture to night, on the
“price” pretext; others be¬
cause “they do not appreciate
such things,” and some be¬
cause they do not “approve”
of “that sort of thing.”
Let every one remember
the cause and lay aside all
excuses. We should all stand
by the school.

EIGHTY-EIGHTH YEAR.
Mrs. Hary Richards Reaches A
Ripe Old Age.
From The Deinorest Record.
Never were the beauties of old
age more plainly evident, and beau¬
tifully verified than in the person
of Mrs. Mary Richards, of this
place. The subject of which we
wish to give a brief sketch, Mrs,
Richards, was born in Pennsylva
nia, March 31, 1S13, and on last
Sunday, March 31st this dear old
lady arrived at the eighty-eighth
mile stone of life, and seldom, if
ever do we find the beauties of
youth, maiden-hood, and old age,
so beautifully, and pleasantly com¬
bined, as in the person of Mrs.
Richards. Her daughter, Mrs.
David Heskett, of Demorest, and
son, J. Melvine Richards, of Beth-
esda, Ohio, had planned for several
weeks previous to the anniversary
of her natal day, to make it one of
joy and gladness to her, and also
the celebrating of it a surprise, all
of which was carried out, and
proved to be one of continuous joy,
and unbounded pleasure. During
the week, greetings from friends
and relatives, congratulatory of the
anniversary of her birth, came in
one by one, until some thirty seven
in number were received, also quite
a number of useful and beautiful
remembrances.
These were all kept until Satur¬
day afternoon preceeding the day
of her birth, at which time Mrs.
Heskett had arrainged for a recep¬
tion of friends from three to five
o’clock that they might call and
converse with her mother, and dur¬
ing which time she brought in the
besket of letters and scattered them
about the sweet faced mother,
whom she was so pleasantly sur¬
prising.
These greetings were from loved
ones who have been associated
with Mrs*. Richards a greater por¬
tion of their lives, and all bore the
same universal testimony of the
worth and Christian character of

Mother Richards. We append be¬
low a lew of the gleanings from
the pens of some of these writers.
On Sunday arrangements had
been made for a praise and prayer
service at the Heskett home. Quite
a number assembled to join in
meeting, and commemorate the
birth of Mother Richards.
The meeting was led by Rev.
Philips, who read the 103d Psalm,
and was interspersed by song, pray¬
er, and reading of greetings. A
number of living testimonies from
lips of hoary heads gave evidence
of the great and supernatural pow¬
er of God to sustain and keep them,
and lead them to this advanced age.
They all gave God the glory that
they were living monuments to his
salvation and power, and by Him
had they ever been led and guided
During all the effective service the
face of Nlother Richards shone so
beautiful and bright, Never could
h er sons and daughters have been
so blessed and beheld her so lovely
could they have looked in upon her
a t this time. Her face gave ex¬
pression of perfect peace and hap-
piness, and in this we feel that the
fondest hopes of son and daughter
wer e realized.
To speak of all the greetings
would occupy much time and
space. They came from her for
mer homes in Wheeling, W. Va.
an d Ohio. Among those from oth-
er places were lovely thoughts from
her son, Di. Dallas Richards, wife
children of Dayton, Ky. The

Dr ’s greeting was a beautiful
poem in which lie recalled the
memories of childhood days, and
of his mother’s Christian training
and rearing of her children. Mrs
Richards greeting was along the
same line of thought and was a
beautiful missive. A grandson,
Mr, A. J. Heskett, of Toledo, O.
reminded her of his happy child¬
hood days, and of going to her for
all his playthings. He spoke bf
the swiftness of time, and the
many happy times in his child¬
hood, and Grandma was the cen¬
tral figure in all. Miss Loula Hes¬
kett, of Faith, Ga., paid a beauti¬
ful tribute of how thankful she
was for sucji a rare Grandma, and
how much she hoped that she
w.ould be spared to remain with
them many years yet. Mrs. N. J.
Kildow, of Bethesda, O., a noble
Christian and life long friend, re-
membered her in touching words,
She said 4 fc there is nothing more
beautiful on earth than an aged
Christian whose hair has grown
white in the service of the Master. j ?
She reviewed their many pleasant
intercourses, and paid a glowing ,
tribute to the life and works of
Mrs. Richards. We can do no

better than quote from the
ot her son J. Melvine Richards,
his own words so characteristic ot
the true personage, who is now
traveling on the other side of life.
He says “1 can scarcely realize
that I was once your first dear,
sweet, little baby boy, and that
how r according to the gospel in¬
junction, you tried to train me in
the wav I shoujd go. I have heard
that whom the Lord loveth lie
chasteneth, and I am not sure but
the same could be said of my moth¬
er. I don’t forget that slipper, mr
the red mark on my little back the
day Father trimmed the currant
bushes. Their application it that
time was not joyous but grievous,
nevertheless they yielded the peace-
able fruits of obedience, respect,
and esteem.” lie speaks tenderly
of her care and guidance, and
hopes this may be the happiest day
of all her life.
A splendid letter from the fourth
St. M. E, Church, of Wheeling,
and a number of others we might
mention combined to make this
eighty-eighth anniversary the hap-
