Mr. Tillman Satterfield, a for
mer Lumpkin county boy, who is
now on tbe snowy hills of Colo
rado, writes us under date of July
27th, as follows: “Find enclosed
one dollar for the Nugget. Like
to have the news from Dahloncga
and 1 can always depend on the
Nugget for it. I would hand you
a “snowball” if I had time.”
As stated last week, Mr. G. G.
Evans, who recently lost one of
hte eyes while- sawing shingles,
went to Atlanta to see if the ball
whulil have to lie removed to keep,
it from injuring the other. We
are glad to say that the physician
decided that it would not and Mr.
Evans returned homo without hav
ing to undergo the painful opera
tion.
Not many weeks ago the would
bo sensational Baptist preacher at
this place, gave Uncle Sam a
scoulding for furnishing us with a
Suuduy mail. And on last Sun
day the Methodist preacher, who
says that he “sees nothing for a
railroad to come here for,” appear
ed at the post office after his mail.
Because divines do not come to-
gether on all religious matters and
preach and act differently is
one reason why no more good is
accomplished by them.
Last week Prof. J. M. Martin,
principal of the Dahloncga public
school, resigned to accept a po
sition in Atlanta as an electrical
engineer for some company. This
is regretted very much by his many
friends here. Prof. Martin has
been in charge of the public school
since its establishment, four years
ago, and the good he has accom
plished during this period is great,
llis whole desire was to build up
one of tbe I tost schools in Georgia.
This he has done by hard work
aud by strict business methods. He
is a high toned gentleman and
makes everything pleasant wher
ever he goes. Success to you.
professor.
The other day as a certain young
man passed through Dahloncga
pretty well loaded with mountain
dew, a merchant remarked that
lie ought to be in the chaingang.
We will admit that it looked bad,
but why should poor people be
sent to the chaingang for drinking
and rich ones upheld in it? No
longer than tbe first of last June,
during commencement at the ban
quet, this same merchant sit at the
table and dined with some of the
most prominent people of the
state who were so drunk that they
hardly knew which end was up.
He shut one cyo and said nothing,
because some of them were legiss
tutors who came to see about tbe
college, one being so full he
couldn’t get there, and many other
high toned gentlemeu. This was
all right. ■£ g£I

Wc are told that the roads
on the Blue Ridge are almost im
passible, is why there is no more
travel from this place by the
farmers residing across the moun
tain. A gentleman told ns no
longer than last week that only
three or four days work were done
up there on the roads a year. Yet
grandjurics will meet and say that
the roads are in pretty fair con
dition.
Last Friday a gentleman, whose
son had been bound over to the
next term of Dawson Superior
court for misdemeanor, was up to
Dahlonega endeavoring to secure
witnesses to go boforo the grand
jury in his behalf. He said the
jury stated that they didn’t think
they would return a truo bill but
ho wanted to be sure and have all
the testimony ready next week.
So it seems from this that the
grand jury of Dawson tries the
defendants.
The other day, soon after it was
reported that a certain little girl
had been out raged near town, her
mother appeared before the officers
with eyes full of tears asking
for a warrant. The poor woman
being penniless, was sent from
first one to another and we don’t
think she ever got the warrant, be
ing told to wait till court proba
bly. Had she been a member of
the bou ton society no delay
would have been made, and she
would have been given an arm full
or warrants if necessary. Such as
this causes lyuebiugs sometimes.
There is talk of having meeting
at the Dahloncga camp ground
yet. Some want it in August
while others desire it postponed
until the first of October when
corn, fodder and everything will bo
more plentiful and the weather
cool aud pleasant; at a time when
everybody can shout and sing and
serve the Lord in any manner they
see proper without getting overs
heat. We believe this to be a
good idea, simply because we have
seen it illustrated at Amicalola
camp ground late in the fall when
everything was plentiful and the
weather pleasant. A lady while
shouting there once said that she
was so glad that meeting came
off in the fall of tbe year so they
could have plenty of slice potato
pies and pmnpkiu custards to feed
the poor sinners on. Now why
not waif till all these good things
cun be abstained:.

Prof. C. CJ. Gilbert of Kllijav,

lie will lie elected principal of the

Mr. Hughes Anderson writes us
that lie has about two hundred
bushels of corn-for sale out at bis
home place in this county.
Messrs. Sosbeoand Catchings of
Gainesville, were tip with us

their many friends here.
Will Satterfield of White
county, was brought in by Marshal
Grizzle last Tuesday, charged with
moonshining, but he was discharg

We understand that the family
of Mr. G. C. Wallace will soon
move to Tennessee to join Mr.
Wallace who has been there for
some time doing business for Mr.

Merchant C. W. Satterfield will

B. It. Headers & Sons,
The polls have decreased in this
county since last year about 70.
Tbe demand for labor and good
prices in Alabama and Tennessee
this year, and Tate marblo works
in Georgia, has caused many to
leave this ns well as adjoining
counties.
It seems to be a hard matter for
the Telephone Co. to decide about
the construction of a lino from
some point to Dawsonville. The
third man is now on the route
from New Bridge to that place, and
one has been from here to Daw-
souville. It is likely that a line
will be built to Dawsonville via.

At Cavender’s Creek they hope

Minipg down at the Barlow has
been revived considerably recent
ly. At least fifteen different par
ties lmve leases and are now engag
ed in taking out ore on tbe valua
ble property, much of it looking
fine. Mr. Tregent informs us
that he now has two giants at
work and things look well. With
in tbe past few days some six or
seven dwts. in nuggets have
been picked up in the cuts and a
big clean up is expected, which
will take place right away.
Crown Mountain plant lias beon
shutdown temporarily on account
of shortage of power. Steps are
being taken by the company to
complete the Gorge power. As
soon as this is done the company
will have sufficient power to run
the Crown Mountain plant con
tinuously and six or seven hun
dred horse-power to sell. There
is now a demand for all the sur
plus power the company will have
when the Gorge plant is finished.
This power will bo inv as
set of the company. The Crown
Mountain Mine never looked so
well ns it does now. There are
hundreds of tons of pay ore un
covered now in sight, but the
plant cannot bo successfully oper
ated without power to run the
entire plant.
After a delay of a short while,
work was resumed again last Fri
day at the Pyrites Mine in this
county, by Messrs. Pratt & Bald
ing. They have engaged a larger
number of hands than usual and
commenced business in earnest.
The delay was made so,a9 to give
the owners an opportunity to
make arrangements to secure rail
road facilities. This they have
done and in the course of a few
months we expect to see that place
one of tho liveliest camps in the
county. They have proposed to
furnish company, building a rail
road to that mine a large quantity
of ore each day, so as to make it of
interest to them, and now work has
commenced so as to enable the
company to be ublo to carry out
its contract.
