Tho railroad leturus received by

The state convention meets in

Tho senate has again refused to

Tho Japs aro as brave as lions.

During the U. S. court in Ath

A few days ago Gov. Terrel

The St, Louis Fair is now open
Millions of money and years
time have been spent in getting
this world’s fair ready for visitors.
As many as 80,000 men havo been
found at work on tho grounds and
buildings at one time, which gives
a slight idea of tho amount of labor
it required to accomplish the work.
The republicans of Lumpkin
county at the late democratic pri
mary caused some candidates for
county offices to bo defeated and it
almost tickles them to death.
Now when they run their candi
dates this fall tho democrats will
all pull together and turn the joke.
This is no joke.
A while before the election some
of the republicans of Lumpkin
county talkod like they were going
out of politics, but when the demo
cratic primary came and they were
allowed to participate in it same
as one of its party, they feel very
much relieved when ablo to help
to defeat some of the democratic
candidates, and aro now stronger
republicans than ever, because
another feather has been stuck in
their caps.
Andrew Carnegie beard of a lit
tie town in Oklahoma which had
no library nnd decided to supply
what he regarded as a necessity
The multi-millionaire offered to
furnish $5,000 for the library
provided the citizens would guars
antee proper support for the in
stitution. He gathered a new idea
of Oklahoma’s optimism and inde
pendencc on learning that the
oilizons resented his offer as an in
sult. Make your offer $20,000
and wo may take it under consid
eration, wrote the town officers,
but so far Mr. Carnegie has not
decided to do as suggested.—Ex.
The Religious Work.
There lias been a great religious
work done ut. this place for the
past five mouths, better revivals
than havo been for many years.
At the request and with tho as
sistance of a few Christians, Rev.
J. E. Blackburn, a member of the
Baptist church at this placo nnd
an old experienced minister of the
gospel, began preaching at the
cottage homes of the suburbs,
thereby causing interest for tho
salvation of lost souls. Ho was
ably assisted by Bro. John Adams,
a citizen of our town, a deacon of
a Baptist church in tho country,
and later a deacon mombor of our
church of this placo. before
Christmas, he was also aided by
Rev. J. \V. West, a country min
ister. He was assisted tod by Rev.
W. C. Taylor, pastor of our
church, from tho first of Febru
ary, which time he came to our
town, till the first of April.
These meetings, however, did
not continue nil the time. They
were carried on only at night,
sometimes every night fora week
or longer, sometimes every other
night, nnd sometimes but one or
two nights in a weok, according to
the extent the interest seemed to
suggest and the general conditions
permitted. With the majority
who took active part, the spirit
was willing, even though the tlesli
was at times weak and exhausted
from labor. From the first of De
cember, 1908, till the first of
April, 1904, there wero 80 mem
bers added to the Baptist church
here, 24 by experience and G by
letter. Five of those were bap
tized in January of this year, by
Rev. Blackburn.
About the middle of April, Rev.
Tayler, assisted by Rev. Black
burn and other active members,
began a revival at the church,
continuing till the first of May.
During this time thero were 5
members added to the church, 4
by experience and 1 by letter.
May 1, 17 were baptized, 0 by
Rev. Blackburn and 8 by Rev.
Tayler. The revival of the Bap
tists has closed for the present
season with the exception of 6 yet
to be baptized. God’s good work
here will be continued by the
Methodists, who will commence
their revival this week.
We will now say a few words in
a special way for some of the leads
ing Baptist workers of Dahlonega
in the Lord’s vineyard. Rev.
Blackburn, though not learned in
books beyond elementary knowl
edge, but abounding in experience,
began the work above mentioned
when the church was without
pastor and in a cold nnd unset
tled state, but soon aroused the
people to a sense of their duty.
Bro. John Adams deserves great
credit, because he was active in
the work from the very beginning.
Rev. Tayler, while ho is young in
tho service of the Master, has
done exceedingly well. He has
visited tho poorer classes of people,
as well as the wealthier classes,
and so to a great extend has re
ceived the respect, sympathies,
and aid of all. There were many
other active members who render
ed much service, but time and
space forbid the mention of their
names. Wo will also say that
singing, which is an essential part
of divine worship, has improved
wonderfully with most of the peo
ple. Paul L. Abbott.

their clean up of the future
surpass those of the past.
Work at the Crown Mountain
gold mine was suspended on last
Wednesday. Sometime ago Gen.
Warner, the president, had the
plant started up, trusting in
providence, as he said, for rain
sufficient to enable them to soon
have the mill running on full
time, but it has not come yet is
the cause of this suspension until
the Gorge power is completed,
provided means sufficient is raised
to do this. A formal meeting of
the stockholders was held here on
Wednesday, which was adjourned
over to meet in Gainesville the
following day but we have not
been able to learn anything from
it before going to press.
At this writing we have in our
city Messrs. E. W. Newton, F. G.
Thomson, D. C. Shaw, E. W.
Bainbridge, G. II. Brehman, of
Toledo, O., Mark Hopkins, St.
Clair, Mich., and John Siebert,
Columbus, O. All stockholders
of the Consolidated Gold Mining
Co. Mr. Bainbridge is accompan
ied by his wife. The gentlemen
are here to consult with Mr. Ew
ing, an expert, who has been here
for several weeks making an in
vestigation. We learn that Mr.
Ewing feels confident that the
property will pay if propeely man
aged and doubtless work will bo-
resumed by the company at an
early day.
Last Wednesday in company
with Mr. Will Crisson, manager of
the Crown Mountain Gold Mining
Co., we had the pleasure of visit
ing tho Gorge. It was pay day
and we always like to be present
when there is any money to be
handled, especially when it is
coming our way, and somo of it
did for our friends and patrons
didn’t forget the printer. At this
place we found Mr. T. V. Cantrell
in charge of 32 hands performing
different kinds of work. The dam
is about completed except a small
space in the center, which will be
finished as soon it rains enough
to ffoat the logs down the river.
The dam is forty feet high and up
to the present has cost $29,000 and
a better piece of work cannot be
found any whore. The machine
ry is all on the ground—part of it
in position, and it is expected that
the plant will be in running order
in about a couple of months.

The Japs engaged in a land bat

The nomination of Judge Parker
