On last Saturday afternoon Sher

Superior court of Lumpkin county
some time ago, and was after

was returning with him to face
the charge of selling liquor here.
I lie sheriff left the next day and
brought the negro back, but the
officer refused to turn the negro
over to Mr. Davis unless he would

do, and returned home and has

It has been asserted that parents
keep their children at homo from
school to pick cotton is why tho
attendance is so small. This is a
mistake. Up above in Crumby’s
district, in Lumpkin county, where
not a single stock of cotton is rais
ed, but few attend. Here in T)ahs
louega the report showed that 40
children within its limits didn’t
attend school last year. It can’t
be said that picking cotton causes
this non attendance here. Parents
are to blame for it. This is where
the trouble lies.
Tho other day Mr. Marshal
Kearns, of this county, went out

The grand jury decided to use

Bearden’s bridge. There is a little

treasury now, being only one
quarter, and by the time tho legis
lature convenes this county will
get over $1.000. $500 on each road
will put them in good condiiion.

Mr. and Mrs. Wince Bruce and
Mr. Henley Wimpy, after being

Many of our citizens regret that
Col. W. P. Price resigned as mem
ber of the board of education a
few days ago, for tho Colonel has
been a faithful worker in the in
terest of education in Lumpkin
county for many years and has ac
complished great good and could
do much more. The two new
members are good men and no
doubt will lie very active in the
business. Mr. Evans resigned lie-
cause of being elected ordinary.
He too did his duty.
Wo believe that some of our citi
zens ought to give home affairs
more attention and less to foreign
missions. There are men in Dab-

for foreign missions every time a
call is made, who won’t even give
a nickle to a person hero when
they lose their house by lire. We
should first see that our people aro
not suffering at home. Then
when they are amply provided for,
it is soon enough to give to the
foreign people, provided we can
spare it. Tho other Sunday while
a man’s house; was burning in Dah

Mr. Waldenor Lindgran, of the
l . S. Geological Survoy, arrived
in our city last Monday. Tho ob
ject ot his visit, hero is examine
llio mineral conditions of Lump
kin county.
At the Barlow the mill is being
run every minute possible. We
are informed that they already
have out enough ore to keep it
running until Christmas unions it
rains and gives them more power.
All the work at Crown Moun
tain lias been compelled to sus
pend until the drouth breaks. Tho
last clean up was much better
than any yet considering tho time
the mill run, clearly demonstra
ting tho mine will pay as that soon
asit can lie properly worked.
Wo understand that tho gentle
men who came down to examine
the Briar Patch mine last week,
after making a careful investiga
tion, expressed themselves as bo-
ing well pleased with it, just liko
all other visitors to this mine.
We saw a nice photograph of
the big dredge boat, being built
for the Briar Patch Co., on Satur
day last which showed that it is
nearly completed. The contrac
tor informs us that it will ho
ready for business in a few days.
But it too will not he able to do
but little until it rains, which we
trust will not bo long.
We have recently received let
ters of enquiry, one from far off
Canada, about the lowor Etowah
mine. Work suspended nt this
mine some time ago, not for the
lack of power, but for what rea
son we do not know. The parties
who manage it reside in New York
and we are unable to tell thoso in-
terosted what they mean to do.
Mr. I). L. Pilner, whq has heen
located in Dahlonega for some
time, had some prospecting for
gold done on his property in the
county of Union not Jong since,
which resulted in the discovery of
a large vein assaying well enough'
to interest Chicago gentlemen
enough for them to spend some
money for development purposes.
Although it is in an adjoining
county we are not selfish but hope
that it will prove to be vastly rich
and that all parties interested will
make much money.
Mr. Bain bridge is engaged at tlm

and light compressor. The mill
and big compressor aro geared up
together and one cannot ho run
without the other unless they Wq>

now arrangements will save both
time and power. When this is
finished the crusher will be inovi d

this is done the ore can ho hand

method, thus saving many dollars

in the way of expenses. The run
last week was much larger than at
any week previous and a very prof
itable one, although only twenty
stamps could ho run ten hours a
day. At least two hundred Ions
of ore are already broke down at
the incline on tho Prewit vein,
while a good supply is being got
ten out in the cut. All parties in
terested are very much enoourag*-
ed and all our citizens hero rejuieo
at tho success of tho new manage
ment, because it shows what fine
results can ho brought about by
the use of gooil common seuse
judgment, and proves that our
mines will pay when under proper
management. This week Mr.
Bainbridge secured the services of
Mr. Turn flay a^ superintendent
