Eitok Nugget:
I hnve I etMi trying to get oyer
here in this beautiful mountain
country on a fishing trip several
years, and at last made the brake
and landed safe with my wife and
littlo ones Friday the 28th. I am
stopping at the Hotel De-.Woody
Avenue, and Mr. Grant Woody is
tlit* proprietor, and I want to say
that Giant certainly knows how to
entertain his guests. He feeds us
on frieddfchickon four times a day,
and everthing else that mortal
I here below could wish for, and
cvcu calls at our door every morn-
i ing with a glass chuck full and
running over, with sugar and a
1 spoon and it ready mixed. And
j by the time the second bell rings
you feel that you love everybody,
and that you haven't got an enemy
in all this big world of ours.
When you get to the table you are
just in a condition to eat the horns
oil of a bilIcy goat, and Grant
knows how you feel, and ja ready
and well prepared to satisfy your
every wants. Good water, fine
mountain trout, lino scenery,
Grant Woody and a glass chuck
full and running over, with sugar
and spoon and it ready mixed.
My, my. This is a beautiful
country, and it seems now that I.
love everybody over here, and 1
can't make up my mind to leave.
Mr. Editor, if you ever want to
take on a real outing spell, just
head your team for Grant Woody’s
and you will have the best time of
your life.
Just throw yourselves in the
hands of Grant and let your wants
be known and I guarantee that
Grant will satisfy everyone. Jle
is champion trout fisherman of
this whole country. He knows
every pig trail, and all the best
fishing ground, and you only have
to let Grant know what you want,
for he is ready at all times to ad
minister to your wants. I was do-
lighted Saturday eyeniug (after
catching trout all day and upon
my return) to find the Nugget on
my desk with several other weekly
papers, and I wish to say right
here Mr. Editor, that the Nugget
is the weekly paper of the State.
I have yet got to see the weekly
that is it’s equal. Hotel De-
Woody, Grant Woody Pro-Tco
cool water, fine mountain scenery,
mountain trout, chicken four times
a day, a glass chuck full every
morning before the second bell,
and if you are going out for 'fish,
and are a little afraid of snakes,
you can have your flask filled free
of charge, and for fear you will
get snake bit then, take your med
icine before hand, and be sure that
you have another flask ready in
ease you really do get bit, but the
truth is I never saw but one little
measly snake up here, and he was
a moccasin. In my next I will
tell you about my trip up on the
Blood Mountain, and my second
days fishing, Ac. You is,

The roads throughout the coun
ty are receiving attention, some of
them being put in very good eru
dition. The road law is a hardship
on a poor person having nothing
tc; travel them, is why they are
neglected. The sixteen-year-old
boy possessing nothing has to put
in just as many days as the richest
man in the county, uot over road
age. The law requires a person
to begin at 16 and work 9 days
(16 days in some counties) till lie is
50, making a total of2JG days.
Many years ago each wagon was
taxed so much for road purposes.
This was much fairer on the poor
manor boyt 1 n the present law.
Auraria School Patrons.
With the exceptions of a few the
patrons of our school have all been
giving the school very good atten
tion and we praise them for it. It
is our only hope of making our
community better. When the com
munity at large neglects their
school just that soon their commu
nity goes to degrading. It is true
regardless of who denies it.
As we stated last week wo will
give names of all the patrons and
names of pupils each sept; Mr,
W. J. Free: Dot, Carl and Snllie;
Mr. J no. Norrcl: Clara, Maggie
and Rufus; Mr. B. F. Christian:
Garland, Frank and Charley; Mr.
J. W. Bell: E lith, John and Char
ley; Mr. John D. Summerour:
Annie, Milda and Kate; Mr.
Trammel: John, Rosie and Carl;
Mr. Win. Hutcheson: Lizzie, How
ard, Bell, Lou and Mellie; Mr
Grif Davis: Annie, Gaudy and
Bertie; Mr. Reaves; Hubert, Hen
ry and Berta; Mr. Bob Poston:
Missouri; Mr. .Jack Norrcl: Azza,
John and Bula; Mr. Woody: Van,

lor: Eddie and Howell; Mr. Jno.
Walker; May; Mr. Hulsey: Carlos,
and Marcus; Mr. II. S, Brackett:
Grady; Mr. Bruce: Grenoh and
A dell.
Those above are the ones that
have been attending regular. We
have more names but their attend
ance has been unregular.
The Jury System. •
What is needed in this eountry
is a more enlightened jury system
and judges who will see that juries
| are not brow-beaten into render
ing verdicts not in keeping with
the extent of the crime for which
culprits are tried. There is too
much carelessness in the drawing
of jurors. The accused is given
too much advantage in the num
ber of challenges allowed him.
and courts are too much inclined
to allow attorneys to raise tech
nicalities in the interest of their
clients which are not based on
common sense or justice. The
cowardice of juries is bad enough,
but it is not always cowardice
which move them. It is often
worse. It is often trickery, brib
ery, favoritism and downright op
position to the punishment of
criminals. One scoundrel on a
jury frequently thwarts justice,
and it is not always easy to get
I twelve honest men on juries.—
Nashville American.
Goy. Terrell has received the
following unique communication
from Virginia: “East Stone Gap,
Va., Aug, 17, 19013.—To the Gov-
| ernor of Georgia, Atlanta, Ga.—
i Dear Sir: Wo, the undersigned
i neighbors and friends of William
Hayes, of this place, beg to state
I to your excellency that on the Gth
j of this month three daughters at
, one birth were born to said Hayes
and wife, aggregating in weight
seventeen pounds. They arc now
healthy and spiightly and give ev
ery evidence of living to maturity.
I Mr. Hayes is a native of Tennessee
but has lived in this state for sev
eral years. Ho is a worthy man,
honest and hard working, but very
poor. He and his wife already
had scycn living children to pro
vide for. We, and several mem
bers of hie family, have raised a
small purse to aid the parents in
! raising these children. At the sug
gestion of some of 11s the three
daughters have been named by
their parents, Virginia, Tennessee
and Georgia.” There arc triplets
in Lumpkin county in a worse
condition than those in Virginia —
a girl and two boys. Their moth
er died and left them with a penni
less father when onlv a few days
[ old.

Don’t Frown.
Sec if a smile docs not pay big
ger profits than a frown. Did you
ever think that most any kind of
an old thing, from a hull dog to
a chinch, can look cross, growl
and he pnsilanimous, and that man
only, and his kind can smile? Fact!
You never saw a bull dog smile..
Everybody welcomes a sincere
smile, and a happy character. It
was the smile that made your
sweetheart your wife; it is the
quality that euubles the book agent
to sell you a book you don’t watTt,
and is the drummer’- passport into
all hearts and a welcome guest in
every corner of the round world.
The other day a man who was
carrying the mail in this county at
twenty five cents a day, rcceiycd
notice that he had been lined
thirty eight cents for being late,
and ho threw up his commission
and quit the patch.
