Mr. A. W. Meaders and his fam ily were up on a couple of days visit from Watkinsville, Ga., last week. Mr. Meaders is an old Dah lonega boy who left here a fow years ago to better his condition, engaging in farming, and we are glad to know that: he lias made a success of it, and is conducting the business on a large scale. Last week one of the members of riiloam church, who was drop ped from the church roll for go ing estray by being found among the pentecostal people, quit giv ing the latter any attention and returned and was received into bei church again. Others have quit the pentecostals within the past few days, amoug them being Prof. J. W. Boyd. sister, Miss Mamie, of the eastern portion of this county, and Miss Olla Redmond, of Gainesville.

Our friend Jim Brown, of Jack- son county, removed all his corns recently by putting on a pair of new shoes and walking up to Dah lonega. Dr. Head has been down to At lanta this week purchasing roof ing and other things for his now concrete office, the walls of which are completed. We learn that Rev. W. M„ Gnn- dle, who was recently nominated for tax receiver of this county, is down sick with fever at his home in Frogtowu district. On Sunday at 11 o’clock Layman F. L. Mallory, of Macon, Ga., was to have given an address at' the Baptist church in the interest of missions, but the audience was so small that he took the headache and did not speak. News reached town on Monday that two of Mr. Folk Riders sons and one of Asbury Becks had rocked a thirteen-year-old boy be longing to Mr. Will Smith, while he was going home from Jones’ Chapel last Sunday night after Revival services have been held ofiicc on Sllturd{ W and remained a at several of the churches in this county recently, and meetings arc in progress at other churches now and we are glad to learu that much good has been accomplish- j Wi D’ ed. All the churches throughout I the county are having some life about them except those located in Dahlonega. Those good old time meetings seem to be a thing of the past here. Li some parts of this county all the corn has been stilled and now Western meal is being shipped in and made into liquor. One gen tleman, who will not sell any corn for blockading purposes if he knows it, told us last week that people came a distance of seven or eight miles to tiis house to buy corn to make their bread. So much stilling makes limes harder on poor people. Some time ago Mr. Wilford Hall, of Dawson county, was half an hour or more and con versed about matters in general. He is a very pleasant gentleman laud we hope to sec him over this The road is going to lie changed so as to shun that steep hill this side of the first branch on the Cleveland road. Tt will be run around tbe side of the hill on the left. Besides being steep when the tubes of the Consolidated Co.

He had also gotten some goods from Head & Lee in the same manner while here some time back. The negro had come to attend the association.

The citizens of that com munity mean to have dinner on the ground for all and want every body to come. Uncle Wash Cold- well says he expects to kill a dozen hound over here by Commissioner | chickens or more himself and have Worley for being connected with everything else that ’s good to eut. an illicit distillery destroyed in his j The leaders in this singing will section at which place Mr. Hall’s be Messrs.

But and Mr. Trueloye of Hall county, since tbe trial we learn that Mr. j Now if you want to spend next Dali has disclosed the name, but Sunday pleasantly Damascus is W(i don’t know who it is. j the place to go. Those who attended Mossy Creek campmeetiug from this place re port a big crowd and very interest ing services. Some drinking and disorder but the parties were soon behind the bars of White count}’ jail. It is bad enough to get drunk at a meeting of this kind, shooting it, makes the offense still worse. People do not have to at tend any kind of divine services, but when they go they should be have. If they fail there is a way to make them suffer for it. Now back to where wo started. The preachers in attendance were: Revs. Luke Johnson, IL E., II. 1). Pace, R. A. Cliett, W. R. Eng land and A. L. Morgan. Many Dahlonega people were thereon Sunday.

Fourteen tickets were thrown out by the Dahlonega district man agers for irregulartios, but no at tention was paid to such, tickets m the country. The mining machinery belong ing to the Piedmont Co. has been sold by the receiver to the com pany operating the Coosa Mine m Union county.

The parents being unwilling to give up their daughter caused the wedding to take placo in trie mid dle of-the road near town. Wfi^ Over, showm<* more iiifcrost in the work than the white people do in theirs. Our race should got a move on them. It is said that they had some splendid preaching. Many white people went out on Sunday to hear these colored peo ple sing which was very interest ing. Most everybody is fond of good singing, and if tho members of tho white churches here would employ runic teachers to instruct Londsvillc campmeeting is Au- 1 , , , , o . , , , a class in singing at each church it gust .list to September 4. Presi ding Elder Johnson has assigned the following preachers to that point: Keys. L. G. Johnson, H. 1). Pace, L. M. Twiggs, W. R. England and R. A. Cliett. Revs. Pace and England will go up on Wednesday. Others will likely at tend from Dahlonega. would build up tho congregations and do much good. Ono night last week tho believ ers in the pentecostal so called re ligion met down at the Tan Yard Chapel for the purpose of organ izing. Every sister and brother was on hand and when the read ing of the “platform” began ev erything was quiet, pencnblo and still until tbe reader got down to tU- “plank” which forbids any member from using any tobacco or A gentleman in seeing the reve nue officers coining in from the western part )f the county tho- other day remarked that Nimbi, I will was the banner district in i Lumpkin ' for illicit distilling, j di PP iu S snuH'. Had you struck a Yes, this is correct. Not lung :i Jo ' this -- vears hornot8 nest no more we were told that there w re sov- 1 confusion wo,;ld bavo been crea ted. Up jumped several, among them being n old lady who stated that siie was as good o-s anybody in Some boys entered Mr. Dave Sullians’ house in this county the other Sunday while the owner was absent nt church, and cut a sack of wheat and scattered it all over the floor. Boys, such conduct wont do. YVe heard a grand juror say the other day if the city authorities wouldn’t give those who imbibed too freely in strong drink tho proper attention the coming grand jury would. Take warning and stop it. Last week Mr. Colquit Head, of county, advertised two mules for sale in the Nugget— three lines at a cost of 15 cents. In less than three days he had a purchaser for one' of them by a gentleman liv ing in Dawson county. So you see that it pays to advertise in this paper. Mr. Jim Brown, after spending a couple of weeks with his father, returned to his home in Jackson county last Wednesday. Jim has boon gone away from hore quite awlnie but ho says that Lumpkin j whero the school were soy- en distilleries in full bias! .at one time. Sonic five or «L th stills have been destroyed by tbe officers since then but we guess that others have in n pur : ,,p<;i eration. There is no telling tho amount ot trouble they have caused. The liquor ruin from these stills, or a part , them, have caused tears to bo she 1 by a wid ow and her orphans, fuihei moth er and sisters who ; relative.*', lives were taken away without a mo ments warning.

There were teachers want ing employment but when told and does iru seems more like home to him than Jackson. Mr. J. M.
