A gentleman, who has traveled
much, remarked the other day that
Dahlonega was tho cleanest town

The plan adopted by Dr. Avis,

Rev. Mr. Warren of Boston,
Mass., came in last Saturday. He
is a mineralogist and came here to
investigate and study tbe mineral
resources of this section. He had
not been here more than an hour
until he commenced his work. On
Wednesday afternoon we had a
very pleasant call from Mr. War
ren and were not long in learning
that he fully understands his busi
ness, by quest inning him about the
mines he had been able to seo din
ring bis advent into our city. His
main object in coining to Dahlone
ga is to investigate the G. A. Go in
dim property near this place. He
has a cheap plan by which this
property can be profitably worked,
which will be submitted to Mr.
Gordon when he returns home and
doubtless by the first of next year
a stamp mill will be running on it.
Tho committee appointed at tho
last session of tho legislature to
examine the books and records of
the different offices and institutions
of the state, visited Dahlonega
last Saturday and made a thorough
examination of those pertaining
to the office of Mr. II. J). Gurley,
treasurer of the N. G. A. College,
and found everything correct and
satisfactory. The members are:
Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, chair
man; Senator Christie, from Daw
son; Senator Comar, from Baxly,
and Senator Duncan, from Doug
lasyille, and Representative
Hays, from Montezuma. It only
required a short time to do the
work and in the afternoon they
left for their respective homes.
Since then a member of tho com
mittee said to a reporter of tho
Macon Telegraph that the “last
institution inspected was tho North
Georgia Agricultural College. We
found things in splendid shape,
and the committee has nothing but
praise for it.”
Wo will say a few more words
concerning our controversy with
Dr. Stow ubout the Jim Carder
matter, and bring the subject to a
close. The Doctor says he has not
time to write anv more about it,
even if he desired to do so, and not
being willing to let the matter drop
without his side of the question
being givon, we will proceed to tell
you what the Doctor says, First,
he states that the reason lie didn’t
attend to the call 1 of Carder, was
that ho had owed him since 100J,
and could have paid it since that
time had ho wanted to, and that
the amount Jim was due is $5.40,
including a debt of $1.00 bo obli
gated to pay for another person.
Now, in reference to the Gurley
matter, the Doctor says that Mr.
Gurley had worked for him, and
