KEEP YOUR BLOOD CLEAN
A Good Thing.
We mentioned some time ago
the organization of a lecture asso¬
ciation in Toccoa, for the purpose
of raising funds to furnish the
school auditorium and otherwise
improve the comfort and appear¬
ance of the school building.}
The organization has been com¬
pleted and the first lecture, notice
of which appears elsewhere, will
be held on September 23d.
This is a move in the right di¬
rection, and should meet with the
approval and patronage of all
friends of the school.
It is not a money making scheme
for a few individuals. Not a sin¬
gle person in town will receive
any pecuniary gain from these lec¬
tures, but each and every citizen
will be directly benefitted by an
increased interest in the school and
school work. That is the end that
is most desired. By keeping up an
active interest in the school among
all classes of our people, is th e only
way we can hope to build up and
maintain a successful school.
Help the school board in this
work by buying a season ticket for
these lectures. There will be others.
John B. Gordon and Henry Wat-
terson will be here during the win¬
ter and a glee club, composed of
first-class musicians, will also be
here to help you laugh and grow fat.
Dr. Teff Davis, Mr. D. T. Simp¬
son or any member of the board of
education will be pleased to sell
you a season ticket.
It is a good thing, push it along.
Organize Now.
Toccoa needs some sort of an or¬
ganization to promote the business
interests of the town, and it needs
it badly. The business men of the
city and the property owners should
join hands and form a club, the
purpose of which should be to push
the interests of the town in every
way. Many small enterprises of
various sorts can be brought here,
if our people really want them and
go about it in the right way.
Such organization and corpora¬
tion is what has built Atlanta up
to her present high standard. It
is the same spirit of push that has
brought Charlotte, N. C., from a
struggling village like Toccoa
twenty years ago, to the city of
35,000 population that it now is.
We can remember the time when
Charlotte was not much larger than
Toccoa, and have watched her
grow from year to year. Now it
is one of the most substantial, solid
cities in the south, and the co-ope¬
ration of her citizens made it possi¬
ble for the city to grow as it has.
Push, patience and perseverence
is the motto to adopt, and all pull
together in the way to work.
Let an organization of this na¬
ture be organized and set to work
systematically to advertise the
town and in a little while the effect
will be seen. It can be done. Why
not now ?
Lewis-NIchols.
As announced in the Record
some days ago, Mr. A. B. Nichols,
formerly of Toccoa, now employed
in the weather bureau of Columbus,
Ohio., was married Wednesday to
Miss Mary Belle Lewis of Vicks¬
burg, Miss. The marriage took
place at the residence of the bride’s
parents at "Vicksburg. Mr. and
Mrs. Nichols will be at home to
their friends after September the
20th. at Columbus, Ohio.
Platt-Williams.
Monday afternoon, September,
8th, at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. C. W. Nowell, near town,
Mr. Barney L. Williams of Atlanta
was united in marHage to Miss
Mary E. Platt, Rev. J. E. Rorie
officiating.
Miss Platt is a neice of Mrs.
Nowell, and has made her home
here for some time past. She is
well loved by all who know her.
Mr. Williams is a prominent
young railroad man of Atlanta,
and is connected with the Southern
railway. He has made a number
of friends in Toccoa, who will be
pleased to learn of his luck in win¬
ning such a charming bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams left Mon¬
day afternoon for Atlanta, where
they will reside in the future.
The Record joins their friends
in wishing them a long and happy
life.

A Communication.
Mr. Editor—Allow me to speak
a few words in favor of Chamber¬
lain’s Cough Remedy. I suffered
for three years with bronchitis and
could not sleep at nights. I tried
several doctors and various patent
medicines,but could get nothing to
give me any relief until my wife
got a bottle of this valuable medi¬
cine,which has completely relieved
me.—W.S. Brockman, Bagnell, Mo.
This remedy is for sale by E. R.
Davis & Co.
Improvement 5 outhern Railway
Dining Cars.
The Southern Railway is making
an especial feature of dining car
service on many of its through
trains, and in order to make dining
cars more attractive than ever, are
now equipping all these cars with
electric fans and electric lights.
A number of the dining cars in
through lines between Atlanta and
New York have been equipped
with electric fans and electric lights
and these improvements will con¬
tinue until all of the dining car6 on
the Southern system will have these
advantages. There are very few
roads in the world that have elec¬
tric lights and electric fans in their
dining cars and this improvement
will add much to the alieady excel¬
lent dining car service of the South¬
ern Railway.
