That’s too much money to change a Chink’s belief, especially when there are so many deserving peo ple in this conntry that need the money.

Wonder bow many mil lions have be: n wasted? Some people will send their money to China and let their neighbors suf fer for want of the necessities of life. — Banks County Journal. You are right, brother. It is very in- consistant to forbid Chinamen to reside no where on our land and then ask the Lord to give them a front seat with us in heaven. Our actions here may cause us to be put on the back seat up there. Dahlonega u»ed to have many shade !rees. Everybody took an interest in helping to beautify the town with trees.

We will now give von a clip ping from t lie Wise County Mes- senge, published nt Decatur, Tex as, concerning his trial there as follows: “Rev. Roy K. Davis, Singer and Masher, Goes to Prison, Drew a juiy, verdict of swindling and was given a two years sentence by the District court. ” The above tells the story. As t lie a: t icle is too long for us to publish all we will give the wind ing up of the article : “Thus is closed, for a time at least, a rather checkered and in teresting career of Roy. E Davis. His activities as a minister, public i dekater. singing school teacher, Heart smasher and Ladies man have ceased for a season. For some years he served East Texas church es us Pastor, and it was during his residence in this section that he became acquainted with the Girl who was his undoing in Georgia. The Lady recognized the Prof. Lon Davis in Georgia, as the man she had known in Texas as Rev. Roy E. Davis. She remembered that he had a wife and children in Texas so her suspicious were aroused and she at once began the enquiry which brought the thriv ing and handsome singing school teacher to the bar of justice. Sher iff Mann slates that upon leaving Texas, Davis deserted his'wife and three children, who now reside in East Texas; and married a young Lady in Georgia. Davis is uaid to be a forceful speaker and very intelligent. His handsome open countenance gives the impression of inuocense while bis heavy au burn hair adds to his striking ap pearance, and it is little wonder that he has been able to favorably impress the public wherever he goes.” The above shows the kind of a hypocrite we have had with tis, one with two living wives who was run away from two Georgia towns on account of his bad con duct, coming here claiming to be a child of God, with a bihle, song book and a bottle of oil, able to heal the sick and save souls, using the pulpit as a shield for his meanness, proposing to have a great temple built in Dahlonega, taking up frequent collections and receiving food from some like he was a little bird, nevertheless lie stood up in the pulpit at the Pen tecost church 011 Sunday night, where lie had often been aud men tioned the misfortunes of some of our best citizens because they be lieved he was a fraud aud had nothing to do with bun. Then to cap it ail j fined this church that night There are some good Pen tecost members here, but he has succeeded in pulling the veiljj over their eyes. This they will sec L'er, having already been guilty fi ’ king . for which we have seen ■ linn.- here that he would*'have been given a rail ride out of towm, if not much worse. The Lord dens ii- t send any mashers to preach. Such are angels of the devil, sent out 10 break up church es, sever the ties of love and friendship among those who do not sneeze every time such fellows take snuff. Now do not think that Davis is being wrongfully misrepresented by the Nugget, because there are now in the ehaingnug hundreds of G c-ol lie has dropped to 28 cents j ng :| in.
