We understand that a certain man in this county won’t rent his property to any one unless the a iT roc to take the Nugget so he (the landlord) can pet to read it for nothing. On the 23rd of next month judge Huff will po down to Atlan ta after the money for the pension ers of this county, and will pay them oil as soon as ho can return, about the 25th. As early ns possible we will pub lish a list of the newspaper bor rowers in Dahlonega in order not pet mixed up with public spirited people. Mr. Prato* of Dahlonepa, visi ted Gainesville last week and was present at Gen. Lonpsl reel’s funer- nl who sail] there was as larpe a crowd there as he ever saw in At lanta. Mr. B. R. Menders left last Monday with a drove of mules and horses for Swninsboro, accompan ied by his son, Frank. Mr. J. M. Brookshcr carried his off on Thursday before. It is said that during a case in which Mrs. Goss was interested, last Saturday before Squire John Ricketts of Porter Springs district, that she talked very ugly and had to be called to order by the officer. Neyer in the history of Dahlon 1 ega has water been so scarce as it now is. Numbers and numbers of wells are perfectly dry, and in the country springs that never failed before are affording no water at When you see and know that your subscription to this paper has expired don’t wait for us to notify you before you renew. It is too much trouble and e xpense for us to do this. Ilix gave us a little snow sunshinejboth yesterday. Mrs. Beltie Williamson died near Auraria last Friday. . Mr. and Mrs. W. C.

Rev. W. C. Taylor of Blue I Ridge, Ga., has been chosen by I the Baptists here to preach for J them this year. Dahlonega throws open her gates to this young di vine, trusting that he may accom- [plish much good. hile Mr. B. R. Meadors was |returning from Gainesville Friday jnight his team ran away and do- Imolishecl the buggy. Mr. Mcad- jeis was just in the act of getting jiiito the vehicle when the horses ■started before he got hold of the llines. Messrs. Chas. J, Dougherty of ■Louisville, Ky., and J. C. Rogers |°f Columbus, 0., members of the ^directors of The Crown Mountain Jold Mining Co., visited Dahlon- e 2a last week and looked over the ■property, including the Gorge [water power, I)l ’. L. A. Ledford, from Dr. Jennings’ Optical Parlors, Gainess ' 1( »a., will bo in Dahlonega January 21st and 22nd, for the purpose of fitting glasses.

It is understand that Moore Bros, will likely get the contract for carrying the Gainesville and Dahlonega mail on the lower route as they are said to ho the lowest bidders." Their bid was $005. Col. W. P. Price, president of the county school hoard of Lump kin, says that he will recommend for the pupils to lie allowed to use their present books till fall. But this can’t be clone according to law. Business men should remember that it is a violation of a city ordi nance J*or them to sweep paper out on the streets. Paper not only scares stock when the wind blows but looks bad scattered about over the sidewalks and streets. Hy reference to another column you will find an account of the death of Capt. C, C. Cusick, which occurred at Niagara Falls, N. Y., on the 2nd inst. A little over a year ago Capt. Cusick was located hero in charge of the military de partment of the N. G. A. College, and many'of our citizens will re gret to hear of the old gentlemans death. In looking oyer some old pa pers City Marshal Walker finds seyeral fi. fas. that have never been settled. Some of the parties ow ing tho taxes reside here, while others have moved away. lie will proceed at once to collect them all, even if he has to scud the fi. fas. to officers where the parties reside to do it. The case of the Dahlonega Con solidated Co. vs. John Hatfield, being a distress warrant for the rent of the Company’s hotel, goes out of the hands of tho Justice to the Superior Court. The Compa ny alleges that Hatfield is due it $50 for a months rent, and the dc - fondant says he only owes $25 because he vacated tho premises at the middle of the month. Professor Carl W. Steed, of the chair of history and economics in the N. G. A. College, has been granted a leave of absence to lake farther post graduate work, which he will do at Harvard, beginning the first of February. Professor Steed will be accompanied by his wife, who is the present librarian of the college. Professor Moore, of Macon, will fill Professor Steed’s place during his absence. Miss Anno Whelehel will have charge of the library. Last Thursday, soon after the Nugget was issued, we stepped in to the room adjoining the postof fice and found a perfect nest of newspaper borrowers. They had converted it into a reading room and each had one of his neighbors or relatives Nuggets, reading it before the owner could call for bis paper. These newspaper borrow ers are generally the first ones to tho office. It’s not on account of their inability to get one of their Wo regret to learn that Mrs. John Simmons of this county, is very low at Mr. Miller Davis’ and not expected to live. The attendance at the public -chool here is very good, but still there are children in Dahlonega idleing about that ought to attend. Prof, and Mrs. Steed will re main in Dahlonega until the first <>f February. Then they will leave an 1 be absent till thelirst of Sep tember. Corn sold from the wagons hero this week at 65 cents. Fodder from $1.40 to $1.75 per hundred— owing to tho quality and size of the bundles. We understand that Mr. J. J, Shed is moving back to Jackson county, and will not lie in the race for clerk of tho Superior court of Lumpkin county. W • P. Price, Jr., has a full sup ply of all kinds of merchandise and is now ready for the now years trade with prices that are sure to please you. Mrs. C. C. Kerr of Gainesville, is now at Dahlonega with her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Worley, where she will remain until Mr. Kerr returns from his old home in Chattanooga, Tenn. In reply to those wishing to know of us if the timber deal is going through in this county, we say (hat we can’t say. Every few w^eks a uew man comes in, looks around a little and then says it is, is all we know. The rewenno officials' made a raid out in Nimblewill district Tuesday but went too soon. They found a place that had been scloc- ed by some blockader. Some ex cavations had been made and tho tubs were on hand. The marshal is now collecting the dog tax. Heretofore when collecting commenced some own ers of dogs would send theirs out into tho country for awhile in or der to avoid paying on them, but the council is going to stop this hy requiring a. tax on all dogs re maining in the city as many as ton days at any time during the year. On last Monday morning young Mart Wehunt, who was recently lodged in jail here charged with misdemanor, made bond, and hadn’t gotten further than tho public square on his way home before Deputy Marshal Grizzle arrested the young man and had him go back to prison on a war- iunt charging him with violating the Internal revenue law. Messrs. T. S. Littlefield and F. G. Jones left here yesterday to i meet some parties on business in Murphy, N. C., today. Mr. Andy Ash has been awarded the contract for carrying the mail from Walnut to Cleveland daily except Sunday for $450 per an num. Hv reference to another column you will find that Dr, Howard ofs : fors a good upland farm for sale in ! this county only three miles from ! Dahlonega. All who partook of the oyster supper up at Col. Charters’ last Monday night greatly enjoyed j themselves. It was the Colonel’s | l ist birthday. The Dahl. mega and Dawsonville telephone line, recently construct ed by Mr. R. C. Menders, h as been accepted by the Hell Telephone Co., and we hope it will soon bo in talking order. Wc bad some rain night before last which was greatly needed, as but few of the grist mills in tho county are able to grind corn to do much good on account of the extreme dry weather and scarcity of water. i here will bo no college exercis es today on account of the funeral of Gen. Gordon, which takes place at 10 o’clock in Atlanta. The door of the public school here will also likely be closed today in honor of this great and good man who was loved so well by the entire south. The boys toll a good one on Tax Collector Walden of this county. It is this: Some time ago Mr. Walden visited Gainesville and stepped into a store while trade was dull and all the clerks were in the rear end of the room sitting around tjie stove. “Walk right hack,” said one of them, meaning for him to come further, down the room. In an instant Mr. Walden wheeled and was out of tho door, wondering why they had ordered him out of a store which ho sup posed was open to everybody. Before getting very far, however, a clerk overtook him and fully explained what was meant and ho Last Monday Deputy Marshal Grizzle and Deputy Collector Richardson went up into Chesta- tee district and found Allen Baker running an illicit distillery. The outfit was destroyed and Allen re quested to come on to town and go before Com. Baker, which lie did and was bound over. Tom Armour, who in company with his brother, terrorized Banks county a few weeks ago, was kill ed near Boaz, Aia., last Monday hy officers in pursuit. Harris Armour made his escape. Tom Armour is the slayer of Reubin L. Little of Morris, Ala., Nov. 14th. These men were in this county a few weeks ago and may be tho parties who broke into Parks & Bowens store. Not long ago an old and expel t jgold miner declared, says the j Cherokee Advance, that the day j would soon come when gold seek ets Would flock into Georgia as [they did to California in ’It) and | into the Klondike. Georgia is a gold hearing state and with tho modern machinery ; and methods of extracting the met al .'Tom low gradcCrefractory ore | is sure to become in the future a large producer of the precious metal. State Geologist Yeatcs cannot now raise money enough to print and supply all the demands f rom abroad for his Georgia gold report. Every week prospecting parlies are in Atlanta coining to north Georgia to examine some gold proposition. And already nearly every ledge and lend m the Dahlonega district is either owned, leased or optioned by some person or company tlmt means to work it for gold. Gold from Georgia mines began to be sent to tho United States nint in Philadelphia in 1880. i Prior to that, from 1824 to 1829, North Carolina furnished all the American gold that was used by | the government. In 1829 Virgin ia and South Carolina each pro- { j duced $2,500 worth of metal. In j [the five years from 1830 to 18811 Georgia mines were worked and in j that lime produced $1,159,000 or j an average of over $230,000 per year. In 1881 Georgia was the largest gold producing state in the country, her output for that year being $415,000. Her total produc tion up to Juno 30th, I90fi, was $10,142,172, These, with other statistical and technical facts in the possession of the [state’s geogical department, should bo regarded hy tho general assembly. If they are properly collated and distributed among the gold hunters of the nation they will surely lead to a full and speedy influx of ex|>orts and capi tal develop to the fullest tho gold fields of upper Georgia. i wwwu**. ii—am.>»'txrm J.

It was reported here last week from McCay, Tenn., that Hon. G. D. Bruce and Mr. G. C. Wallace had a tight over there a few days ago. The first report came by grapevine telegraph and stated that Mr. Wallace had hit Mr, Bruce on the head with a stick of wood, and the last time by letter, saying that the latter was cut with a knife. Mr. Wallace is left hand ed and it is difficult for a man to dodge. In reference to the new school hooks, Stale School Commissioner Merrit says that he is sure the leg islature intended to work no such hardship on the schools, but the law reads that way, and it must be enfoiced. Any school teacher guilty of using any book but those adopted by the state board after March 1st will be guilty of a mis demeanor and will lie amenable to | tho criminal laws of the state. The books must be changed on j March 1st or the schools closed I down. The following prizes are offered to agricultural students of the N. G. A. College for essays on agri cultural subjects: 1.
