Extension to Dahlonega.
Mr. W. A. Carlisle, engineer in
charge for tho Gainesville & Dah
lonega Eloctric Railway Co.,
writes from Gainesville, (la., to
the Manufacturers’ Record con
cerning a recent press report. He
says:
“Our company is not coutem
plating an extension to Homer,
hut to Dahlonega, G.a, The dis
tance will be about 27 miles, and
tho lino will traverse a mountain
ous country, well timbered, and
Will reach many mines. Connec
tions will bo made with the South
ern Railway and Gainesville, Jef
ferson & Southern Railroad. It
is the intention of the company to
build the road themselves.”
Chicago papers during the past
few days have contained interots-
ing stories of a convict who is dy
ing in the Ohio penitentiary with
u great secret locked in his breast,
tto is a counterfeiter of the name
of Mason, a metalurgist and a
chemist, and his secret is a chem
leal method for coloring silver
nnd other metals to the hue of gold
nnd at the same time give the coin
the true ring and weight of gold.
The claim for the old criminal
seems to have a tinge of yellow
about it, but the Chicago papers
say it is true.
| Back to The Farms,
| One of the distinct features of j
i the age is the tendency to return j
to agriculture. Where a few years j
ago tho farmer boys were rushs ;
ing to the cities to crowd the pros j
fossil ms, there is now a decided j
move in the other direction. The ;
natural re-action that must always
follow a movement as radical in
some measure accounts for the
disposition to return to the soil for
a livelihood, but there is more.
The agriculturist has become a
professional man. The college
and the university have added a
special course for his benefit, and
gives him a degree. He is a bo
tanist and a chemist, and science
has taught him to take the jaded
and wornout farms, and with in
telligence cause it to blossom like
the rose.
The dispiriting labor which bent
the forms of tho elders and sent
the lads scurying cityward has
been lightened by devices that
better accomplish the end sought.
The long hours are shortened,
and the farmer finds time to in
diiige in the enjoyments of
! without cost to the Commission.
I The secretary of tho Fifth L T . S.
I Service District, will conduct the
| examinations mentioned under
j schedule “A” to bo held October
J 25, and the Commission will cn-
i deavor to arrange to have Major
| Tillson, whom you mention in |
| your letter of J une 7, conduct the
examinations scheduled to be held
on September 14, and October 19.
The Commission thanks you in
advance for yqur efforts in the
matter. Very respectfully,
John C. Black,
President, W. R. B.

Mr. Editor:
As we all read The Nugget
over here, and enjoy it so much,
we feel like we wanted to tell you
about it. In the mean time we
beg to say that we claim our sec
tion to he the best section in
Lumpkin county. You will purs
don us of course, because if we
didn’t toll it ourselves nobody else I
would tell it for 11s.
Wahoo is surely a progressive
country. We have two corn mills
and will soon have one wheat mill, j
We have one mercantile establish
ment, and Mr. Young Abercrom
bie is soon to open up a store.
Again, Mr. G. G. Evans is our
saw mill and machine man. Mr.
Evans is also our next ordinary of
Lumpkin county, besides being on
the Board of Education.
So you see that wo have every
thing we want over here. We j

A number of. Philadelphia laws
yors, says the Philadelphia Li dger,
were exchanging stories of their
experiences with witnesses under
examination. One of the party
told the following:
He was questioning a witness
and said, “You have lived in Phils
ndelphia a number of years. How
long ?”
“Just twenty-five years.”
“Where did you live before that
time? ’ asked tho lawyer, hoping
to prove an important point.
“1 didn’t live,” replied the wit
ness. “I was single.”
It will be well for tho republi
can party to remember that the
democratic party is the original
sound money party, while the re
publican party has always been,
up to a few years ago, the fiat
money party. Tho republican
party is great at claiming every
thing in sight and taking every
thing that is not nailed down.—
