are not careful.
Bobby Walthour went to Lon

cle race, and instill champion of

There has been a good deal of
war news from the far east for
soveral days, but whether it is
true or not we cannot say.
It was said that Mr. Ashley
could control a barrel of money
and had gone to New York after
it, but he has not returned yet.
The many friends of Hon. F. C.
Tate, are gratified to learn that the
governor has appointed him trus
tee of the State Normal School at
Athens.
An exchange says that the court
martial is bringing out the fact
that at Statesboro everything was
loaded except the guns. A kind
providence ruled.
They have found a folding
clothes frame out in Gilmer coun
ty, claimed to bo once owned by
President Roosevelt’s mother
when she was a young lady at
Roswell, Ga.
Nothing has been heard from Mr.
Ashley since he left just after the
convention for New York. It
may bo that he has decided to al
low his name to be used somewhere | much mill downTtTho llamR
up there for an office.
We believe if the military force
of the state was reduced there
would bo less lynehings. Every
mean uogro feels confident that lie
will be protected, otherwise he
would not run the risk.
The compilation of the republi
can electors has been completed
and Col. Day, of Jasper, has been
selected for the 9th. The Colonel
is old, but the way ho can picture
off republicanism is a sight. This
man’s body may grow weary but his
tongue never does.
Tom Bell has no opposition,
practically speaking. Even the
republican editors refused to raise
their voice in Mr. Ashley’s behalf.
They know it is useless. Really,
we learn that oue of the delegates
to the republican convention is go
ing to support Mr. Bell.
Tom Watson said he was “out
of politics,” and, if he had not
been drawn into a profitless race,
says the Forest Blade, ho would
have lived in the hearts of his
countrymen, but to espouse a

Another good clean up was
made at the Singleton last week.
We meant to say last week that
15 stamps would be started at the
Lockhart but the figures made us
say 20.
A good clean-up was made down
at the Barlow last week of a small
amount of ore milled for Alfred
Walker. It averaged forty dollars
per ton.
Some ore taken out on the old
Columbia property by Mr. G. W.
Jenkins gave good results. Three
tons produced twenty-one penny
weights. Mr. Jenkins is now cut
ting a tunnel which will enable
him to got the ore out more easily
when he completes it.
We were informed and stated
last week that all the stamps of
the Crown Mountain mill were
running. Since we have learned
that it. was a mistake, The little
mill and only from 2() to 40
stamps of the large one have l>eon
in operation only a. portion of
the time. The ore bins are too
fur awny from the mill and it is
impossible for one mule to sup
ply it with ore over the tramway.
The bins could be moved closer.
Mr. Bainbridge is giving both
the Barlow and Hand mines his
personal attention every day and
is the right man in the right place.
He employs the best experienced
miners the country affords and
tells thorn to go ahead and make
the mines pay for it is to their in
terest beyond a doubt to do so, and
they are doing it. The mining
outlook lias not been brighter
for many years. The yield of the
yellow metal by the end of the
year is going to • be unusually
large.

It
takes a heap of ore and power to
run a one hundred and twenty
stamp mill. It was first intended
to build railroads from the Bar-
low and Lockhart mines to help
supply this big mill, but it was
found to be too expensive. Now
Mr. Bainbridge informs us that
they will either take some of
these stamps and put them up at
the Findley or supply the mill
with now ones which ever is de
termined to be the cheapest.

On last Saturday Dahloncga was
alive with pupils, both male and
female, from tho country schools
of Lumpkin county, representing
beauty, health, happinoss and in
telligence. Two beautiful medals
were offered for the best deelaraa*-
lions of both boy and girl, and this
is why so many greeted us with
their presence. Although only a
days notice had been giyen hero of
their coming the audience num
bered many people.
The judges on this important
occasion were Messrs. R. C. Mead
ors, W. S. Huff and Rev. Mr. Tay
lor, the contestants all being un
known to them except the boy
who represented Yahoola district,
and only one of the judges knew
him. Wo mention this fact to
show how fair and impartial the
awards wore made, furthermore
that tho ones who won justly
deserved the merits.
Below is the names of tho con
testants, each ones subject and tho
school they represent:
Nimblowill—Frank Fitts, Tho
Stronghold of the Nation. Miss
Fannie Fitts, Great Music.
Auraria —Miss Reeves, The Rock
of the Schooner Hesperus. Henry
Norrell, A Small Boy on Compo
sition on Cats.
Fairviow—Miss Cyntha Chap
man, Her Old Love.
Yahoola—Marion Lee, A Hero
in Gray,
Glenn—Miss Fannie Stringer,
The Empty Cradle.
This closed the declamations, all
of which wore listened to with
much intererost as they were well
delivered, showing that these pu
pils of were receiving proper atten
tion of the very attentive teach
ers of the schools they reps
resented. In a short while after
tho last pupil sit down it was an
nounced that Nos. 1 and 2 had won
the prizes, being Frank Fitts and
Fannie Fitts, son and daughter of
Mr. Charlie Fitts, both of Nimble-
wili school taught by Mr. Carl
Shultz, who has been in charge of
it for a number of years. Tho
winning of these prizes reflects
much credit upon pupils, teacher
and parents. It shows the impors
tance of parents securing a good
teacher and keeping them as long
as they can. It gives the pupils
a big advantage over other schools
where the changes of teachers are
more frequent. But let this not
discharge tho teachers and pupils
of other schools. Renew your
energy and come again.
At tho conclusion of the exorcis -
es Dr. Glenn, the new president
of the N. G. A. College, arose and
made an interesting talk in the way
of encouragement. He pointed
out the many advantages of an ed
ucation. Told them to go right on
till they completed their studies in
the sell ools anil then come to col
lege. Tho Doctors remarks had
a telling effect upon the eutiro au
dience. Ho is wo 11 known all
over Georgia as being oue of tho
greatest friends to education in tho
south. Is a good man and makes
his influence felt wherever he goes,
and wo are all proud of his perma
nent preseneo in Dahlouega. Dr.
Glenn invited all the pupils of ev
ery school in the county to como
out at the next annual meeting of
the Association. That the college
hall would be thrown open to
them. That the people of Dah-
lonega would prepare barbecue
for them and turn over the key of
the city to the pupils, teachers and
parents on that day. Yes, come.
It will kindle education in the
country schools and accomplish a
great good.

Prof. (?) Dobson, together with
a woman he said was his wife, af- j
ter being in Dahloncga for several
days, riding tho finest horses of
the town in regular English stylo,
left yesterday between two suns.
In the morning the Professor (?)
would wear his tan shoes and in
the afternoon he used another kind
as white as snow, with his mous
tache twisted so that he could bare
ly touch the ground. This gas box
was here 15 years ago and got in
debt to Capt. Ingcrsoll to the tune
■of $ 100. An officer was going to
levy on his trunks but he slipped
the one containing a pair of shoes,
fancy sox and a tooth brush off the
day before down to Mr. Henley
Wimpy’s so Mr. Wimpy could get
off with it in due time, and-at 8:80
oclock, a. m., yesterday he and the
woman met a hack on the
rear of Hall’s Villa and boarded it
with a trunk the female claimed,
and lit out for Gainesville. For
tunately for the teamster he got
his hack fare in advance. We are
sorry he left for we did want those
white shoes kept in this country
to scare off the boll weovels that
are making their way in this direc
tion, in addition of being such a
nice place for red eyed rats of the
same color to raiso their young
ones and been perfectly safe from
all cats.

bottle was used, we could sec a change

him ever since, and he has bad but
two very light spells since last August,
