As stated in a previous issue of
Thu Nugget that Capt. J. M.
Ashley was making an effort to
have examinations held in Dahlon-
ega, so as to give the young men a

gives us much pleasuro to state
that this gentleman has been sue*'
oessful' in his efforts, as will be
seen from the following letter:

The first row of tho season caus
ed by the juico of blackberries,
took place in tho outskirts of town
last Saturday between a man and
his wife, one a member and the
other an ex-member of the church.
The husband had spent a good deal
of his time in the berry patch
gathering fruit to make wine. A
sufficient amount of the stuff had
been made to bring about that joy
ful feeling and tho man suspended
everything else and commenced
drmlbing. This continued for sev
eral 1 days until he got so mellow
that the wife could bear it no lon
ger. So liist Saturday she brought
the drinking to a close by giving
him a few lick? and turning out
the berries aud pouring out the
wine.
