Been a Citizen of Lumpkin
County 68 Years.
Undo Tom Edwards, one of tho
oldest citizens of the county, re
sidin'; 11 few miles from Duhlono-
gn, was (in the city last Thursday..
Uncle Tom said if lie lived t.o see
next February he would be *8
years old, was enjoying very good
health for one of his age and felt
thankful that his life bad been
spared so long, with but little
sickness and pain. This old man
made about a ilOO bushels <d corn
with ibis own labor this year. Itle
has been here a long time. d T ncle
Toni came to Dahlonogu from
Monroe county, Tenn.., on March
29th, 18*5, while they were clear -
ing oir the ground for the present
court house and has resided in the
county ever since. lie can re
member only a very few persons
alive now that were here when he
came to Dahloncga. Mr. W. R.

then stood on the corner of the va
cant lot adjoining the oue Mr.
Hughes Moore lives on. Samuel
King was sheriff and Milligan
Quilli.m was clerk of the court.
.Uncle Tom said that he remem
bered wedl the very day that Uncle
Archie Wimpy landed in Bullion-
rCga. He came from Hall county
where he had been following school
teaching. Mr. Wimpy wore a
short round about coat, not worn
these days. He went to clerking
in the store for a man named
Pinchback. Pinchback melted up
a whole lot of brass, sold it for
gold and had to leave out. Mr.
Wimpy continued in the mercan
tile business at the same stand al
most continuously until his death
.a few years ago. JJnole Tom can
tell many things about Dahloncga
years ago that are of much interest
to those that have grown up since.

This is the timo of year for our
people to begin to cast about and
make their arrangements for an
other year. Some will, of course,
move from where they have lived
since the close of 190k. Some
have bought homes, and some will
run on the rent .plan again. Some
will engage in one .pursuit and
some another. Some will clear
something from their year’s labor
and; many will come out behind
and will have to make a new start
from the bottom, «o to speak, next
year. Let Urnut be as it may, take
new courage, shrike with a great
er determination to succeed and a
degree of success will attend you.
Amidst it all, believe you arc m

best people iu the world. — Walton

There seems*to be a disposition
on the part of many of the
churches of the country to disre
gard the spiritual welfare of the
poor man in fivvwr of the rich.
It. is unfortunate but true.
Men and women of wealth and
so-called refinement dominate the
great majority of the houses of
worship, with the result that the
poor working man is gradually be- j
coming forced to the conclusion 1
that he is out of his element and j
not wanted.
Many of our ministers, while j
well meaning perhaps, preach to
the higher social set and tfarget |
that a heart beats in the breast of
the poor man in shabby clothes
who occupy the back scat.
If he makes his appearance at
the social a Hairs 1I10 is looked at
askance and made to feel his infe
riority. When a woman in fine

And what does the poor man do?
| After .receiving a few of these
rebuffs ihe comes to the conclusion
that there is no place in the house
of Cod for him, and .remains
1 away.
And where does the fault lie?
With the minister and the rich
man. With the minister, because
he fails to use his position to
n-ing about a better feeling of
Christian spirit between the two
extreme's. With the rich man be
cause of his presumption in con
sidering himself above a man who
is honest but poor.
The house of Cod should bo ,jx
place of refuge for all people, and
the soul of a poor man should bo
cherished as much as the man
I with his millions.

Regarding the profits in pecan
growing u Texas authority is
quoted as follows:
“Pecan-growing is no geterieh-

j slowly but surely. This industry
j is as near getting something for
nothing as ever happens on this

still grow. It is not necessary to

Our friend Mr. Grant Woody,
who runs such a good hotel across
the Blue Ridge at Qubec, Gu.,
was iu the eity last week. Mr.
Woody was on his way to Gaines-t
vilic to get a lot of Rainbow Trout
for his pond, donated him by the
government. The telegram noting
The arrival of the car containing
them, didn’t reach him in time and
he was two days behind and missed
ids fish. Mr. Woody has a nice
hotel where a number of lower
■couniiry people spend the summer
and drink from the spring, water
that is as cold as ice, and dine at
a table supplied with the best the
country affords.
Advertisement cannot justly ho
called an expense, although it is
all expense when ignorantly hand
led.
Advertising is an investment.
Dealers in articles where the
profit is less than 15 per cent fig
ure 2 per cent of their sales as the
proper portion to be devoted ad
vertising.
There are lines where profits
run high as 400 per cent. The
lines demand a much higher per
cent devoted to advertising, as the
daily sales amount to much less
than where the profit is smaller.
Jf you have anything to soli,
never allow yourself to argue that
there is no need of advertising.
Your friends, even, after awhile,
won’t ask if you keep certain ar
ticles.
They become tired of continu
ally asking what you have in your
etoro and gradually drift over to
your progressive competitor who

Farming does not necessarily j
mean drudgery and ignorance, as I
many interpret it but it is a science
and the world is fust coming to
consider that to be a good farmer
is an honor. We have frequently
alluded to the tendency of young
men to leave the farm, perhaps
making the mistake of rushing off
to the large cities to make for
tunes. They have heard of some
farmer’s boy going to the city and
becoming a partner in a store and
after a while becoming the head
of the firm and they will go and
