Claud Martin, of Dawson coun ty, was carried'off to Atlanta Inst week by Marshal Grizzle on an old warrant, the bond of which ho hud forfeited in the U. S. Court. IJ’arvy Hix being unable to make bond on the case for which he was bound over luBt week, was also carried down. Last Friday a Gainesville team ran* from Prof. Vickerys down in front of Hughes Moores stable where it was stopped by Mr. Moore with a club. The driver, a little McDonald boy, held on to the lines until after he fell and was bruised up considerably, but was powotleBs to check the horses. The hack tongue was broken and the wheels badly wrenched. 1 ho city council had a call meet ing tho other night and paid over fitly dollars for what wo thought was a fire extinguisher, but il proves to be a fly killer. It looks to us like it’s rather late in the sea son to buy a thing of this kind-but we judge that the city treasury is full of money. Nevertheless the charter does not make any provis ions for such appropriations. Nearly every colored person in town was up at their campmeet- iug lust Sunday in White county. 1 kings were about as quiet as us ual. Some drinking among both races.

Uncle Sam has added another duty to rural mail carriers, allow ing regular 25 cent fee, by author izing them to administer oaths re quired to bo made by pensioners and their witnesses in the execu tion of vouchers. This greatly promotes the convenience of aged pensioners who live oil' some dis tance from town. Those who attended Loudsvillc cumpmeeting from this place re port a very good attendance not withstanding tho rainey weather up to Sunday. Tho preaching was good and everything passed off peaeable and quite. A number of persons were present whoso faces were seen there many years ago.

We also carry the liest lino of clothing in town. If you uoed a suit we will make the prices right. On Monday one of the sisters got out on Crane's Hill and gave a free open air pentecosfeal exhibi tion. Tho day before she said she was full of her kind of religion and had to do something to get rid of part of it, and while escaping it could be heard by the peoplo down in town.

Just say that each sentence will average onlv 3(1 days, this would make a total loss of 1470 days, saying It gave us great pleasure last Saturday to see so many country people and their children in town taking ati interest in the contest provided for pupils of the rural schools. The place was full of lit tle bright eyed hoys and girls. These contests are not only bene ficial in the children but a help to the whole country, for the time will soon come when theso young people must take hold of its affairs and the best educated oues will have the leant Iron bio to perform the duties that are put before them. There were 12 schools represented here this time, more than there were a year ago. Now let each teacher do his or her duty by having every school in the county represented at tho next annual contest and let the parents come along and bring all their boys and girls, matters not whether they are in tho contest or not. It will he a big benefit to them and a day well spent. On Monday afternoon we saw a gentleman who looked sleepy and yery mad on account of being woke up and disturbed from his slumbers by the holy gbosters yol-, ... ,,, . not blockaded ling and jabbering at the Chapel 1 el at a late hour on tho previous night. Services were first held and dismissed in a very quiet man-1 August weather: per, when the noisy part took | mean—75.17 degrees, place, being easily heard a mile degrees above normal, away at IT o’clock.

Several persons will bo baptized at Maccdona next Sunday. And a baptizing will also take place at Yahoola on the 3rd Sunday. We are glad to learn that Rev. W. M.

Miss Clifford Speights, one of tho Graded School teachers, failed to arrive here at the beginning of the school and Miss Fannie Mc Guire tilled her place until she had to go to Bronwood to begin her teaching there. On last Monday Uncle Hill Mathis and John Blackwell were brought down from Hightower district, charged with operating an illicit distillery found in their sec tion some time in May.

As we goto press a trial is in progress cream or a cold fount. drink from tho W e keep printed letterheads and envelopes for persons residing on the Rural Routes of this county just as cheap ns tho blank station ery.

Prof. Svndor and wife, after an absence of a few weeks in the West, returned last week and will occupy the Ricketts, house buy a cow, some chickens and become permanent of Dahlonoga. Mr. W. C, Hartman, of Griffin, has boon hero this week. Mr. Hartman used t<> reside in Dahlon- ega, but is now located at Griffin in charge of the plant which gives light to that prosperous city. W o can’t think of a single emp ty house in Dahlonoga. All are full and more peoplo would como if they could got houses. Parties having the land and money could make big interest by erecting a lot of cottages. Wo are requested to state that Rev. Mr. Englamj will Login a meeting at Jones’ Chapel next Son- day night, who will be assisted by Rev. R. P. Jackson of the South Lumpkin Mission. You all know Mr. England and wo will say in the way of a littlo introduction of the other gentleman, tbut ho has tho reputation of being a splendid minister.

The Doctor says lie is located here pei- mantly, that is if his work con tinues to increase like it has for the last month. A delightful entertainment was that given at the court hum- Monday night under the auspices of the Knights <d Pythias. Mr. H. B. Smith proved himself a novice at handling the storeopti- can views and explaining them. Talks were made by Prof. Shultz and Col. R. II. Baker. A few days ago a couple of men arrived in Dahlonoga, one to sell a fly killer and tho other a tire ex tinguisher. The city council went j ahead and spent $50 or more for j the fly killer, and now they want the citizens to meet and sec wbcthH er it is agreeable to buy a fire ex- | tinguisher to cost four hundred I dollars. Riming in debt is a bad I thing for an individual, and it is | much wor<o for a town to he iu ! this condition. AN bile Mrs. Green Abercrombie - that Bishop Candler or some oth er person has said, but tolls about things that concerns his text. The recent heavy rains huyo washed out the roads considerably. 'The question now is, what will the next grand jury recommend about them? They cniyaot he kept up under tho present system, and to work them by taxation is sim- lust | l>!y throwing a lot of money away unless each overseer is made to do his duty. There are but few people who would kick at being taxed extra for road work if their money was spent properly, but when incompetent men are put in charge of the work who know nothing about the duties, or don’t care if they do, and only piddle about on them in order to make the job last, gives the tax payors a cause to complain. Now last year some of the overseers did their duty which resulted in good improvements, while others wore not, worth 25 cents a day to tho county and the grand jury put a stop to it by recommending that such a system tie dispensed with. The only way to have good’ roads is to assess taxes enough to put them and keep them in good or- was absent on a yisit tho other day, j der, appoint good, competent, ac her husband wishing to do his part! tive, responsible overseers, regard by assisting in some of tho domestic less of thoif politics, and keo| work, got the churn and began churning, continuing for a half an hour he looked to see if there was any butter in sight.
