Mr. Rice was born and raised in Dahloncga and is al ways a welcome visitor. Mr. Edwin Maxey of Washing ton City, a correspondent sent out by the Southern Railway Co., was in Dahloncga last week taking a general observation of thiugs in this section. When off Ihe rail road he takes it a foot enabling him to give things of importance more attention. Air. Lewis Stancil, a man of about GO summers, died very sud denly at his home out in Davis’ district last Saturday at 5 o’clock. He had been outside picking up some wood and brush to burn and upou reaching the gate the thread of life was severed and he fell to rise no more. The probable candidates for city marshal when Mr. Harbison re signs are: Messrs. Wra. Rice, Geo. Walker and George Jenkins.

Charters went down to At lanta last Tuesday in the interest of the Gainesville and Dahloncga railroad. The largest hop occurred at Dorter Springs night. Dahloncga was well resented. The Wild mail is now being car ried at ‘25 cents a day. It looks like every locality could mail at these figures.

There is an old time negro wom an living near Dahloncga, who kept a fishing line till it was twenty years old, and only a few days ago she cut it up and made j shoo strings out of the pieces. Every time she went fishing she 1 would afterwards dry her line. It everybody were like Aunt Julie those making fishing lines would soon perish out. The first message ever wired to a president of the United States from Dahloncga, was sent last Saturday hy Judge W. W. Murray. He had just received one from New Alexieo on business that bad to be looked into by President Roosevelt.

They put him! hi<rh up in one of those big 1 buildings down there setting type when his head got to swimming, causing him to look towards home and light out for Dahloncga. The largest school we believe I that is being taught in this county is by Air. Shultz out in Nimble- wili district, numbering 79. Nimblewill is a prosperous district and this shows that her citizens in tend to keep in line with the edu cational forces. A negro was in last Dahloncga Friday from Hall county. Ho was not of the Booker Washings ton variety but came in his sock feet and brought Dahloncga the first load of water melons she lias had this season, realizing the tiller of Ihe soil a good price. Last Saturday was Hie day set apatt up at the Dahloncga camp ground for Rev. X. A. White and Roy. Taylor Dowdy to preach the funeral of Alt’. Dodge Fergus son. In the absence of Air. White on account of sickness, Revs. Dow dy, Boyd and Grizzle carried out the program at the beautiful grove near Bethlehem church. The big gest crowd of people ever seen thereat any time, was present. Sheriff Davis received a message on-Wednesday of last week staling that Frank Rider, who is wanted in thisconnty, charged with forgery and a misdemeanor, had been ar rested in Baker county, Oregon and was now in prison ready to he re proper papers Frank skipped , , nearly every day and we expect to i tow hours I • - . 1 ; hear of some one getting drowned there. Air. Young Abercrombie, of Wu-1 hoo, was the first Lumpkin conn- ‘ ty farmer to bring a load of mel ons hero this season—on yostcr- i day. ■Our old friend and patron, Mr. A. S. Whelchel of New Bridge, was in Dahloncga a short time last Tuesday. Air. Whelchel is in bad health and very weak. It having been reported that the town is full of measles, wo wish to state to all those remaining away on account of them, that there is not a single case in Dahloncga. We understand that some one set lire to Air. John Ash’s wheat the other night in Chcstatec dis trict and destroyed all the grain be had. The accused parties have left out. The Ellijay sub mail contractor has suspended his mail carrying and none was received from that direction Tuesday nor Wednes day and Postmaster Tate of Dah- lonega hired a man to carry it out yesterday. After electing Prof. Gilbert principal of the public shool here, the board notified him of his ap pointment last week at Atlanta but so far hayo heard nothing from him. In all probability he is away from the city. Miss T. I. Arnold of Orlaudu, Fla., Miss Margaret Aturphy of Louisville, Ky., and Miss Taylor of Athene, Ga., are at Hall’s A ilia, expecting to remain a few weeks in the city. Miss Murphy once lived in Dahloncga. Alossrs. VnnVleck and son and Mr. Ashley passed through Dah loncga last Sunday on their return from the mountains where they are having some development work done on mica mining proper- tv. They have two veins located, j One on the Johnnie Gaddis prop erty ami Uni other on Air. TL T. i Lee's. Lengthy tunnels arc now i being cut into the mountain at j both places for the purpose of I striking the veins. At a shallow j depth wo undersand at one place 1 mica lias been taken out measur ing live inches clear of streaks. If this be the case it will likely be better at a lower debth. We call special attention to the petition in this issue of the Nou ght for a charter for the Jumbo Gold Alining Co. The organiza tion of this company means much for the people of this section. We are personally acquainted with most of the gentlemen ap plying for the charter. They are to the manor born, and men of the highest character. Tlioy are amongst the best known, success ful practical miners in the state. They were raised in the gold mines and are well acquainted with the formation of the gold- bearing lodes in this field. Judge Stone of Denver, Colorado, has been a regular reader of the Nug get for some years—that fact is largely in his favor. We under stand that lie is a pioneer miner in Colorado, and still largely in terested in mines in the west. By reading the Nitgget he became deeply impressed with the possi bilities of this section as a gold country, and through his friend, Judge W. W. Murray, became in terested in the Jumbo Mine. He which relate to agriculture. His residence is at Rogersville, Tenn., near which place lie was reared on a farm. Prof. Davis is hi years of age—is married and has four children. For two years he was a professor at the AIcMinn Military School at Rogersville, and has been engaged in the work of touch ing since his graduation. Ho is recommended by the ablest col lege men of Tennessee, and is in the prime of life. With Ilia learn ing, enthusiasm, and zeal, which .lie possesses in a high degree, we fee*! sure that Prof. Davis will bring the Agricultural department of our college to the highest usel u I- ness. This cannot be done in a few months nor in a year, but within a reasonable time ho will cause his department to vie with that of any similar institution ou the land. Our general Assembly desires to do a good part by the sons of the farmers, and the Board of Trustees of the College are leaving “no stone unturned to meet the reasonable expectations of our Jaw makers, The Board, lias also, employed Mr. John R. Byers, a graduate of the N. G. A. College, (this year), as a tutor in the Preparatory De partment, which will greatly re lievo other professors. It is a well known fact that may students enter this college who have not received the best elementary train ing, and are not as well equipped for higher studies as they should be. Air. Byers is quite competent to perform the work to which ho has been chosen.
