We have had three crops of

The cutting off of the electric
lights by the Consolidated Co. at

We learn by a letter that the
little Kicketss boy who left Dab
loncga some time ago and got into
trouble in Whitfield county, has
been tried and convicted recently
and his fine was paid by Mr. Fred
Wilson of Dalton, for whom the
boy is now working.
It is a very raro thing to see
any cotton in Dahlonega but now
that some of the farmers above
town and nearer tho mountains
have got to raising this staple ar
ticle it won’t seem so strange here
after. Preacher West passed here
on his way to the gin with a load
last Tuesday, being the first cot
ton that has been in Dahlonega for
many years.
Last Tuesday the sheriff sold
the Adams property heretofore
advertised, to John Justice for
$112. The claim against Bill Sto-

There is a gentleman in Dahlon

Some of the credit given to Ash-
lev because several blockaders
of i his county were released from
custody, should bo divided with
U. S. Deputy Marshal Grizzle,
for it is said that ho expects to
apply for the Dahlonega post-of
fice if Teddy is elected, and wishes
to do something that will help Ash
ley in order to get Ins endorse
ment.
The blockaders, w ho wero allows
ed to come back and vote, most
not give Mr. Ashley any credit, for
ifc is not due him. They must re
member that Judge Newman is a
democrat, who told them to go
home and “vote right.” Yet some
are silly enough to think Ashley
caused it. This man is too rank a
republican to have any influence
with ns sound a democrat as Judge
Newman.

ing it to be a very ploasant trip
for him. Ho is assistant post
master at Dahlonega but we are
unable to say whether he applied
to Ashley first for a leave of ab
sence or not, though we guess
not, for Ashley lost his stinger in
Farrow and is as useless and harm-
lessas a drone now.
Last Sunday Tax Collector Wal
den of Lumpkin county, received
notice from Comptroller General
Wright that Messrs. M. J. and F.
M. Williams had asked to bo re
lieved as sureties on his bond and
•hat he must make a new one. Mr.
Walden came to town on Monday
and soon complied with tho re
quest. This is a bond for 1908 and
4. ills new state bond for 1905
and 6 had just been made. There
was no trouble with Mr. Walden
with either state or county. Be
fore those two men signed his
bond a couple of years ago we un
derstand that the collector was to
give Jap Williams or some one
suggested by them $75 to make out
the receipts and help collect the j
taxes. Last year Mr. Walden did ;
this but this year ho made cheaper |
at rangements, explains tho unex i
peeled trouble.
On last Monday some parties j
passed through Dahlonega on their j
return to Union with the team of ,
Mr. Henry Grizzle who was killed i
by a train at Norcross ou Wcdncs- i
day of last week. Mr. Grizzle ■
had gone down with a load of pro- j
duce and loft a young man in
charge of his team while ho did j
some trading. The driver saw
the train coming and crossed tho
track safely when the mules tried
to run. Tho owner saw this and •
thought he could run across all
right and help with the team. He |
cleared the track all right, but
corner of the train struck his body
and knocked him about thirty feet
away where he breathed his last.
His remains were sent around by
Atlanta and to Blue Iiidgo, the
nearest point to his home in. Union
county. From there, his- friends
took charge of tho corpse and car
ried it home for interment. Mr.
Grizzle has a number of relatives
and friends in Lumpkin who re
gret ins sad departure. He was
89 years of age and leaves

While at work tearing down the

The board of trustees of the N.
G. A. College met last week and
appropriated $500 more to bo used

It was reported last week that
Mr. Ed. Corn got both of his legs

A few days ago while a son of
Mr. Henson Chapman was driving
a team attached to a wagon through
the woods a bending bush held
down by the wagon flew up and

some very painful bruises.
A fellow who never subscribed
for a home paper in his life, wrote
to us the other day for a Nugget
without enclosing even as much ns
a one cent stamp, containing the
grand jury [(resentments. Did ho
get it? No, nor won’t tho next
time.
On Saturday last the Dahlonega
foot ball team played against the
Ball Ground team and defeated it
by 50 to 0. The best of order pre
vailed, every thing passing off nice
and pleasant. The names of those

Harrison, W. A. White, Robert
Wheeler, C. Fitts, Alf Halcomb,
J. II. Garrett, J. W. Garrett, Ar
thur Howard, Ed Jones, Howell
Hentz and M. Sage.
Remember that W. P. Price, Jr.,
keeps a supply of all kinds of crack

20 cents per pound fancy candy.
Not only this but everything that
is kept by a general mercantile os
j tablishment. Another now sup-
i ply of this fancy candy, and a nice
i lot of Lowney’s box candy has just
arrived. Boys who wish to make a
nice present to some young lady
should make a note of this.
The information we received la-d
week from members of the church,
causing us to say that no move
ment had been made by the
churches to get any money for the
man who lost his house by tiro re
cently, must have been lay
members—those who remain away
from church—and only guess at
things, as Prof. Vickery informs us
that the Baptist church appointed
a committee for the purpose of
receiving funds for this man and
several dollars were raised.
Corn sold litre from the wagons
last week at 55 cents per bushel
cash and 05 in trade.

days, to protect tho posts. J
We notice that tho jeweler, Mr.
McGuire, is kept pretty busy re
pairing old fiddles. The owners
aro getting them in tune for tho
corn shucking and the holiday sea
son.
There is no use going to Gaines
ville with your produce any long

you hero and pay tho cash, and
this saves a long drive and loss of

On the third Saturday in next
month there will be threo aider-
men to elect in Dahlonega, one
from each ward, and it is about
time that our citizens were look
ing up some “timber.”
Our county officers have been
busy during the past few days

ladies were walking about for ex

Preacher Jonathan Gilreath, of
Union county, passed through
Dahlonega the other day, and
stated that a few days previous he

Mining Notes.
Dock Erwin is taking out some
good looking ore a short distance
of Dahlonega.
Charlie McAfee and his part
ners are still engaged in mining
down on the Boyd lot, meeting
with encouragement.
Tho McDonalds have been able
to do a small amount of work at
the Lockhart mine all through the
drouth. There is plenty of good
milling ore already in sight to run
on for a long time.
Since the suspension of Crown
Mountain mine it has given a con
tinuous flow of water below the
dam, though small, which ena
bled the Ingersoll & Crisson boat
to resume work after a delay of
many weeks.
Mr. Cumpbell has boon able to
keep things moving along at the
Singleton mine as usual and the
results are very satisfactory. Big
money may be expected to bo
made at tho Singleton as soon ns
the mill can be run regularly.
Work still continues up at the
Jumbo mine. While hero last
week the U. S. Geologist visited
this mine, took up tho pan
and did tho panning himself
and although it is not common for
men in his position to make any
remarks either for or against a
mine until making his report, the
Jumbo showed up so well that ho
couldn’t help it right there on the
spot in the presence of all.
We understand that Mr. Harry
Tregent will operate tho dredge
boat for the Briar Patch Compa
ny. Something was said last week
about them being unable to run
the boat until tho drouth breaks
but we are informed that by the
construct ion of brush dams below,
the work can go right ahead. This
is the way the Ingersoll <fc Crisson
dredge is operated. The Briar
Patch boat was intended to be
started yesterday. It, is a splen
did piece of workmanship, like all
others built by Mr. Win. Ricketts,
tho contractor. The work on the
canal is moving along all right.
Mr. Fry has a number of men
cutting collateral ditches to run
the water into t he tubing until
the main canal is finished and tho

put into operation both at the
Singleton and Lockhart as soon aa
the Hand can furnish sufficient

is sufficient to wash the top off.
People at a distant cannot realize
the many disadvantages our mi

gia.
Said corporation, however, desires
the power and right to have branch
offices and such other place, or places,
of transacting business as set, fourth in
its charter and as herein set forth and
at such place or places as it may from
time to time deem desirable.
Said corporation desires that its pow

other securities in payment for such
