During the past year some made

Jib an editorial concerning the

In the 1 last democratic primary
of this county a certain republican
furnished liquor at one of the dis-

Tho party prospecting near the

it they will bo well pleased.
None of the mines in this coun

for want of water. No rain has
fallen in Lumpkin of any con
