Now the people within the cor porate limits having hogs, can put them up in a close pen if they desire without violating any of the city laws.

Last Saturday morning Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn of Dalilonoga, were called to the death bed ot their grand child, which was two veals and six months old, of Mrs. Homer Robeson of this coun ty. The child was buried at Old Bethel, in Dawson county. Although there is a good deal of business on the Superior court dockets hero, and said about a call last issue, we attorneys say that business could lie term, therefor will be held. something was session in our learn that the but little of this tried at a call no such session long fanning the their the . Tho gentleman who came up to inspect the recently repaired tel ephone line from Dahlonega to Gainesville a few days ago, was very much displeased with the work. He said that it was a very sorry job and was trying to find out the man’s name who superin tended the work. No one here could tell him except he was a man supposed to be employed bv the Bell Telephone Co. Sheriff Davis went down to Douglassvillo last Monday to bring back Nelms Goudloek for whom a bill was returned at the last term of Lumpkin Superior Court, charging him with cursing a woman of his color hero recent ly. Nolius got wind of it and left out but failed to get beyond tho clutches of the law. We under stand that this negro is also want ed in Pickens county for trouble ho got into over thero some time ago. When arresting Nolius at Douglassyille a pistol was found on his person. So they made a case against him there and Sheriff Davis had to return alone. Yesterday was the day for the pardoning board to take up the case of the Beasley boys who are serving out a 20 years sentence in tho penitentiary from this county for killing a M r . Griddle. Mrs. Beasley, the mother of the young men, was sent for last week by Col. W. P. Price, who is asking for a pardon in behalf of their rel atives. There were two men killed at the same time, Grindle and Iloleman. The Beasleys were only tried.and convicted for the killing of the former and if they are par doned they will lie brought back and tried for tho murder of llole- Tho largest worm yet coining from a mountain cabbage was dis covered in Gainesville a few days ago, an account of which was sent to tho Atlanta Journal. It licked out its tongue like a snake and was poison enough to kill fiftoen people. The writer didn’t say, but its head must have been as large as a Ing wash pot, with teeth as long as 20 penny nails. This great monster opened its jaws of death and roared like a 'lion, causing alarm in the entire city and for miles around. They started with it to Atlanta in an iron cage to the state chemist but the reptile made its escape and has not been heard of since. It is said that this snake was carried through Dahlonega to Gainesville in a wagon but it was concealed in a cabbage head anil didfi’t raise any disturbance hero.

Mr. Joseph N. Christy was mar ried to Miss Caroline Anderson in this county l ist week by A. J. Edge Esq. 1 ho court stenographer, who takes Mr. Swains placo on this circuit is Mr. Cooley, residing in White county. All who are indebted, to 'I'. J. Smith, II. B. Smith or T. J. Smith A Bro., either by note or account, are notified to settle at once, tf Mr. Hester, the father of the triplets in Chestatco district, was in Dahlonega last week. He says they are all well and getting along splendid. The person who got Mr. Win. Pickett’s foot adze are requested bv him to bring it back or put it where he can get it and he liber ally rewarded. We learn by a private lettei that Charlie Crisson of this county, was badly hurt by a mule one night last week at Cross, Tenn. Didn’t get the particulars. A party residing out in the country, writes us that Wash Thomas of Frogtown district, this county, went fishing recently and caught fourteen pounds of fish, one measuring 22 inches. The report that Miss Nellie Rob erts and Kill's Beck were married last week in Gainesville, is untrue. A certain young man says he only brought the news as a joke. A thing of this kind is a poor joke. An article was sent us for pub lication but as not one in the office or about the place could read it, we were compelled to leave it out. Being on a subject wo knew noth ing about we couldn’t even guess at some of the words and “fill in.” When copied wo will publish it with pleasure. Although there is a public school in Dahlonega with its doors thrown open to all free of charge, we no tice a number of children not in attendance. Parents should see that their children go while the opportunity is offered. Some of them will soon grow over school age, Tho they will see tho need of an education, but it will lie too late. Mr. B. R. Meadors returned from South Georgia last Saturday. The next session of the Colored Baptist Association will be held at Duhlonega. The oxponses of tho hailffis at tho last term of Lumpkin Superior Court, was $119.00. Mrs. Hughes Moore returned from Gainesville last Friday where she had been on a visit to relatives. I ho school hoys have ordered leather belts which will lake the place of the white ones they now use ns soon as they are received. Mrs. II. E. Watson left for Cross, loan., last Saturday, whore she goes to join her husband who has been there a few weeks time keeping for a company. 1 he new telephone line from this place to Dawsonville, now being built, is going to be of much con venience to tho poople here as well as to those all along the line. Sheriff Davis carried Harris Postcll, to the convict camp at Ashburn, Ga., near Macon, last Friday, where ho goes for a term of twelyc months, charged with larceny. Wednesday wound up the last quarterly meeting at this place for this year. Very soon the an nual conference will convene and Methodist preachers belonging to it will be given new homes, to the delight of some and sorrow of ot hers. On our fiist page you will find all the state pensioners of this county. It is interesting reading. Thero is no doubt in our mind but what some are included who are not entitled, while some who are entitled cannot get their names on the list. Even dead persons are drawing, and some names on the list who have not resided in the county for years. Judge Kimsey didn’t carry out the request of the grand jury last week by appointing Capt. J. W. Woodward registrar to fill tho un expired term of Mr. Copeland, because the law doesn't allow three registrars of the same politics to be appointed. The other two are Messrs. M, J. Williams and J. T. Miller, botli democrats. Who the Judge will select we have no idea. Uncle Joe Christopher, a good old man, residing over in the east ern portion of the county, when renewing his subscription to the Nugget the other day told us that it was the only thingthat comfort ed him since ho had lost his wife. Wo certainly sympathize with Uncle Jco and are glad that wo are able to furnish him a paper that lie can pass off the time with in his loneliness. Lust Friday a stranger to us came to see the town on horseback, this will disqualify about six but being so full of mountain dew j sons already drawn for the he failed to see much, and as lie departed he got his friend to wait until he could vomit. Fortunately for him it was out on the edgo of town, and fortunately for those who live close by, it rained the following night and washed down the mound made with the. cou tents of bis sick stomach. ! The students are certainly put ting in good time studying. You novel - sec any loafing among them now duivig school days. This will cause t. cm to know something when exainin lion day rolls round just before con.moncement and be’ a credit to both college and 8tu>-. dents. A gentleman in far off Bidden ford, Ma., in a letter last week says: “Enclosed please find P. (). Order for $1.00 for which send me the Nugget another year. While we are some distance away we nro interested to know what is going on in your city and feel that you give us the news. One day last week Homer Gas brel of Dawson county, was mars ried to Miss Rutho Wilson of Lumpkin. It is an old saying that every sweet has its bitter, but with Homer it is different. During court here he was jailed, charged with riot. Afterwards ho was a witness and received over $8,00 for fees, being a non resident. Then hb got married. Arverta Sullins and his son W. A. Sullins of this county, charged with conspiracy in tho U. S. Court at Atlanta, were acquitted last week. This is the case where John Barker was a witness against Ar verta in this county some time ago, and threatening notices were found about bis house, and Iheso par ties were accused of it. Prof. B. M. Hall, at onetime a professor in the N. G. A. College at Dahlonega, was in tho city a short while last week. Ho is a surveyor and was on his way near Porter Springs to examine certain streams, likely to secure some facte and figures concerning the damage suit that is now pending here in the Superior court in the case of the Pyrites Co. vs. the Cav- ender’s Creek Gold Mining Co. Mrs. Stephen Rice visited rela tives in While county last week. Dr. W. W. McAfee of Atlanta, president of tho McAfee-Lind Mining Co. is up this week. Col. J, II. Moore has boon con lined to bis room all this week but trust he will soon be out. Mr. J. F. Castleberry of Hall’s Villa, was absent a few days in Gainesville this week. Bill Dotson was fined one and cost yesterday for disturbing Do* cin Beck a few months ago, By referring to our advertising columns yon will find much val uable land for sale in this issue. Go to Dr. Jones and look at his Bohemian glassware and beautiful pictures just received. Nicest thing in town. The Consolidated Go. is having all the decayed telephone posts taken down in town and now ones put up in their places. A few days ago in Wahoo dis trict Mr. E. L. Pierce, was mar ried to Miss Lou, a pretty daugh ter of Mr. Henson Chapman. Last Monday Floyd, a little son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Castleberry was tripped up by a boy while playing, causing him to fall and break his left arm. A moonshiner got ns near Dah lonega as Crane’s Hill last Satur day and dealt out enough liquor to make several feel quite wealthy the next day. Mr. F. B. El bridge, who has charge of tho Betz mine, was in the city a short while last Tuesday. Nothing is being done at this mine now on account of the absence of Mr. Arnold, who is expected soon. Prof. Steed and his wifo learn ing of the serious illness of Mrs. Steed’s mother in Macon a few days ago, left out at once for that city. The professor returned last Tuesday, leaving Mrs. Steed who will not he back for some days yet. The Gainesville and Dahlonega Electric Railway company was last Monday granted an additional two years for tho completion and equipment of the first 15 miles of its line by Secrotary of State Phil Cook. Col. W. A. Charters filed the application. City Marshal Walker’s report to tho city council last Monday night proves that he has not eaten any idle bread during tho past month, ns will be seen from the following: Sanitary tax collected $12.00, show tax $4.40, street tax $7.50, fines and cost $10.80, tax fi. fas. $85.78, and work on streets $0.75. Tho last legislature passed an act creating a “Register of Posted Lands.” The owner posts his land, says the Marietta Journal, in the usual way by posting at least two places on bis premises, after this he registers with tho clerk of the Superior court in a book for this purpose, in the presence of the clerk, his name, tho description ot the land posted, tho number of the district in which the land lies, and the number of tho land lot, after paying tho dork 25 cents for each tract registered, his land is posted according to law and you had bet ter not hunt on it without pennies sion. Mining Notes A ten stamp mill is being- put in place on tho Jumbo Mine. This business and speaks and energy of Auraria Dots. At the last session of the legisla ture a bill was passed not allowing jurors to serve at two Superior courts in succession. For instance j if you sit on the grand jury at one term of tho court you are disquali fied to servo ou cither the grand or special jury at tho next. Same way, if you serve on tho special jury at one term you can not servo on any jury at the next term. So pel’s next term of tho Superior court. Some were disqualified at tho last term of tho court, so wo arc informed, hut such a law was not known then, although it was of force but whether it will have any effect in cases where true bills were re turned, in case any juror was dis qualified, we do not know. Rev. J. H. Bell, formerly of Auraria, but now of Atlanta, preached at the Baptist church, here, last Sunday. A Sunday school was organized at the Methodist church here, Sunday before last. Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Hutcheson and their bright little niece, Miss Leila Hutcheson of Freda, visited relatives here last Sunday. The protracted meeting at the Methodist church bore, conducted by Rev. Mr. White, closed on Wednesday night of last week. Two young ladies united with tho church. I Dr. Geo. W. Winslow of Chica- I go, spent a few days first of last | j week here, looking over tho Jose- ! phine Mine. Capt. and Mrs. Jaquish visited I Gainesville last week. looks lit well for the push tho management. Mr. Ashley, aftor piospoeting the mica mine on tho Leo proper ty in this county for some timoj tolls us that he finds it all right and in a short while will locate in Dahlonega. so as to lie more con venient to his work. The flrstlot of machinery for the Gorge is all in, but there is still morn yet to be delivered, be- ing about sovon ear loads in all, and in a short time the laRt will be placed on•tho ground. The work on the dam is moving along nicel}’. At tho MeAfea-Lind Gold Min ing Co.’s Mine the mill machinery is now nil on tho ground ready for erection, and by tho time it is completed, a large amount of ore will bo ready, so as to keep it constantly moving without any delay whatever. If there is any truth in tho old adage that“\\ hat everybody says, must, bo true,” Jumbo is tho larg est and richest gold mine ever opened in Georgia. In shaft No. 1 at a depth of only fifty feet five good gold bearing veins have been struck and they are still going down on it. Mr. Tregont’s lease on tho Bar- low Mine expired last Saturday, but lie is still at work and will likely continue until the presi dent, Mr. Ainesle, arrives. The money has all been raised to ro- sume work at the Bcninng Mine but Mr. Ainesle wishes to get everything ready to start when ho arrives without having to make two trips. He is now waiting on some oxperts for other purposes in view, to come with him. A number of orders for Jumbo , stock have been received from tho great mining state of Colorado. We are glad to know that Western mon are beginning to recognize the possibilities of our rich and- undeveloped gold fields. We would be glad for enterprising minors in the west—not only to send their money, but to opine down and boh for themselves. Wo need their mining-skill and ener gy as well as their money. The Ingersoll A Crisson dredge boat is up about the Lamarr lot, in the Chestatee river, now mak ing good money. Some large, fine nuggets have recently been found in the clean ups. We had the pleasure of seeing a portion of .. four week’s run lust Saturday, after it was meltod into a bar, nuggets not included. This bar weighed three pounds and was as pretty gold as we over looked at. The owners are well pleased with the results, as the expenses are light and the profits large. These beautiful nuggets and much fine gold prove that there aro rich veins closo by, yet not discovered. The rich veins of ore opened on the Jumbo Mine in the last few weeks would have produced a genuine sensation in any mining country in the world except in the south. Tho Associated Press dis patches would have carried the news of tho rich strikes to all parts of the country. But here, even among our own people, such discoveries aro scarcely mention ed. Just in this connection we want to say there have been fewer mining failures bn this belt than iuanyother mining country we know of, and scarcely a single failure, that could be properly charged to the mine, but in al most every instant to the man agement. There has been more gold taken from this belt from the amount of surface worked than has ever boon taken from the same amount of surface in any other mining section of the United States. With this record and the quantity and quality of ore open ed on Jumbo, and the character and standing of the men in charge of the mine, we confidently pre- ! diet a great success for Jumbo, and feel that tho stockholders will get large returns in dividend l\ir tho money invested
