Toccoa is Broad Guaged.
A correspondent from the upper
end of the county writes suggest¬
ing to the Record that, as there is
no prospects of the people of Toc¬
coa having a fair of their own,
that this city should take an inter¬
est in the fair that is to be held at
Tallulah Falls this summer.
Toccoa is not so narrow guaged
as to be prejudiced against.any en¬
terprise in which the county should
be interested, and we are sure our
people here will do their share to¬
wards the Tallulah Falls fair. Any-
ujing that will help Tallulah and
Clarksviile will help Toccoa, and
Toccoa will be found always on
the broad guaged track on such
propositions.
So our up-the-county correspon¬
dent may rest ?asy, assuring him¬
self that Toccoa will do her pait
towards the success of the Tallu¬
lah fair. It will not be too lute ut¬
ter that event for Toccoa to have a
fair of her own if she should take
a notion to.
To Improve The Park.
The Record is anxious to see the
park made a thing of beauty, be¬
cause it then becomes a jov and the
Record wants to see plants grow¬
ing in the park, flowers and plenty
ol grass and it wants to see the
park graded down and made level.
There are two feasable ways of
doing this.
One is for the people to go down
into their pockets and by subscrip¬
tion raise the money. The other
way is to have the convict labor of
the city of Toccoa to do it. Let
the negroes who are now being
sent to the county seat and who
work out their fines for the State
be kept here and made to beautify
the park. To do this a calaboose
is necessary wherein to keep the
convicts, A calaboose can be
be built for less than $300. The
Record thinks that amount can be
raised. What say you?

Letter to Mr. W. S. Whitmire,
Toccoa, Ga.
Dear Sir: It takes numerous
visits from salesmen to establish a
paint agency in a town. Several
well-painted sample houses do the
business quickly, and theiefore in
your town, we intend to spend
money in FREE PAINT, rather
than on salesmen’s visits.
Any house-owner who sends us
the measurements of his house, will
at once receive tasty color combina¬
tions, and at the same time we will
tell him how many gallons of paint
we will give him “for nothing. >»

Paint needs the addition of linseed
oil, covers better, and lasts longer
than white lead. You will be glad
that you investigated.

A Stone Polishing Plant.

the new granite mines is daily ex¬
pected. The grading of the track
progresses well considering the
weather, and a portion of the quar¬

on his arrival, begin the erection
of several houses for the plant.
In connection with the granite

stones, table tops and building
material will be made.
Sueh an establishment here will
be eminently peop le.

More Soda Water.
The soda water people are get¬
ting ready to do the fizz act with a
great deal of style when the long

cooling things.

fountain arrayed for the trade, Dr.
Mcjunkin’s soda stand is out in
new dress, and Ramsay is laying
the foundation this week for a big
marble soda fountain that he says
will take the cake. Each promise
extra accommodations for the
thirsty ladies, tables, new chairs,
etc., and the soda water outlook is
very encourageingly indeed.
Gentlemen here is to you : Mav
