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? The Athens Presbytery. Athens Presbytery met in Gaines¬ ville April 10th, at 8 P. M. and was opened with a sermon, by the retiring moderator, Rev. J. A. Black. Rev. R N. Abraham, was elect¬ ed Moderator.

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. >» Our house was established in * t 57- 5 1 Been making L. & M.
