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, J. T. M 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.

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.

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.
