Kocal fpew 6
B. F. Anderson wants you to
come and see his new spring hats.
We saw our first snow birds for
the season on Thursday of last
week.
There ate lots of calls made on
the people oi D.dilotlega lor ill on
ey. If it is not for one thing it is
ano' her,
The wedding of Mr. Will IJlli-
ott and Miss Kula Hulsey occurred
ou the 15th iust. Rev. James M.
Lawson officiating.
Mr. Charlie Fitts has built a
nice cottage on his forty acre lot
out on the highway, four miles
front Dahlonega, leading to At-
Lpvt.‘.
The City Fathers have had a
pew pair of steps built at the rock
wall on Main Street, and any one
.can come down that way to the
Nugget othce in perfect safety.
Not long ago a lady was telling
us about paying $1.00 for hens.
Now she only receives twenty and
twenty five cents per dozen for the
eggs they lay and all taste alike.
From every appearance it looks
like religion is a hard tiling for
some people to keep. Their sins
are like a cancer, appear to be
healed and tlun break out again.
Keep your eyes on the Nugget.
If there is anything happening
we will make an effort to get it
to you, and if iho paper does not
suit ton we will return your mon
ey.
We notice that other old ladies
in Dahlonega have bobbed both
their hair and dresses, which cutis
es them to look as neat as an old
time dirt oven, it party said the
other day.
Mr. Tom Moore, of Anniston,
Ala., spent a day and a couple of
nights here last week. Mr. Moroe
left Dahlonega when a lad to work
for Mr. Milton A. Smith in the
printing on mess and has been
a citizen of that place ever since.
While Mr. George ,1. Allen, of
Kansas, was here a few days ago
he took occasion to mention the
Mountain Lodge, saying that it
was a number one hotel with ev
ery convenience to make its guests
comfortable and pleasant, with ev
erything that is good to eat.
Mr. Gecrgn Duff showed us the
beard of a wild gobbler Monday,
eight and one fourth inches long,
which he found on the mountain
near his house, where a fox had
caught the turkey, eating what it
wanted and hid the rest. The
Burns’ had caught the fox and
turned it loose to have another
race, when it got away.
The people are planning for a
big day Saturday the 5th of March
when Gen, Bullard and other
prominent persons will be here.
The Atlanta dailies will have rep
resentatives both to write and take
pictures, so as to show and tell
what happens. Now if the weath
er man gives ns a pretty day we
will all be delighted.
Eggs will he cheap and plenti
ful now until the old ladies go to
setting them tor a crop of young
chickens We believe the most
of those who started to raise chick-
enu by the whojesale have decided
that it is not a very profitable bus
iness and are selling off their stock
of chickens, or the most of them
have.
Mr B. F. Corbin, of Chestatee
District, called last week to renew
his subscription to the Nugget,
being the first time he* has been to
Dahlonega in nearly two years.
Mr. Corbin has been a patron of
ours fot about twenty-five years,
who says it is read in preference
to any other paper. Matters not
what time the Nugget comes he
drops everything and reads it. The
others lie looks over at night. Our
patron sajs he does not get his
Nugget regularly— some weeks he
receives it on Friday and others on
Satin day. U’e send the p ipers for
Cleveland Route 4, off op the early
mail leaving Dahlonega Thursday
and 11 ought to reach oin patrons
on 1 hi.*. 1 onto U c-next day.
The students continue to publish
their college paper. And it is in
teresting.
Mr. Floyd Davis has opened out
u small mercantile business in the
T. J. Smith old stand.
Mr. Tom Smith went down to
Atlanta last week on business.
This time he had most delightful
weather-.
Mrs. Birdie Gyles, of Atlanta,

your appearance for a while.
Last week the merchants sold a
lot of onion buttons and different
seeds to persons getting ready to
begin early gardening.
We stated last week that work
had suspended at the Findley
chute, but it was only temporary.
Work is now in progress again.
Miss Croffie Stow, who left here
many years ago when quite young
with her parents, for Gainesville,
was back for n few hours the other
day.
The editor of the Nugget can
always tell when the air has chang
ed and coming from the North if
it is about breakfast time, as he
can smell the bam mta? at Wat
son's Restaurant.
The government has had an ex
pert here for several days instruct
ing those in the Mining Depart
ment, carrying them out to the
mines and telling and showing
them what to do in case of gas or
other trouble.
For years they have been ring
ing the bell at the Graded School
at noon and again at 3 o'clock in
the* afternoon to let the parents of
pupils know when the studies
cease and what time they may be
expected home. It would be a
good plan to ring a bell when night
services end so the old folks at
home, when they do uot attend
themselves, when all hoys and girls
ought to be at home in bed. The
place for them at a late hour.
The weather was so fine most of
last week that we saw the ice cream
wagon in town, butterflies sailing
around and the mocking birds
singing, yet they seemed to realize
that it was not time for spring, as
they sang very low and their mu
sic could not be heard very far.
But the time is not long now until
they will turn loose their full
strength and lower country visitors
will be up bathing in the pure wa
ter while the birds sit up one lhe
branches of ’.lie tiees and sing and
watch.
Mrs. Jim Lingerfelt has not had
her right mind for some time. On
Thursday of last week upon find
ing her out on the highway some
one brought her to town. Chair
man Moore of the County Com
missioners, being told uy the Su
perintendent last week that the
Asylum was so overcrowded that
none but extreme cases would be
taken, and not then unless if ar
rangements could be made by their
folks or che'county, carried Mrs.
Lingerfelt up to Mr. Lewis Riders
and hired him to take care of her,
if he can.
Dang, bang, rang out on Thurs
day night of last week up on the
public square between eleven and
twelve o’clock. Next morning we
learned that a car ran across
or through the public square, at a
high rate of speed up towards
Crane’s Hill. In a short while it
came back. City Marshal Rider
undertook to ilug it down,
but it didn’t stop. Then he fired
at the tire. No effect Then he
shot again On it went, and was
soon out of sight. We do not know
the occupants of the car, but can
say that such fast, useless drives
are likely to get some one into
trouble if continued. Or out of
trouble, if killed, Boys, men or
whoever you arc, take our advice
and stop it.
Remember ottr splendid type
writer, other paper and envelopes
when you want any, for sale at this
offico.
The members of tho County
Bonrd of Education also came in
to hear Mr. Martin talk about ed
ucational matters.
Dahlonega needs more business
and citizens worse than it does
wuter works. It has enough gas
or filling stations.
Mr. Ace Carder, of Gaddislown,
ca,uie across the mountain with
Irish potatoes and applui, ;iin1 got
a fair price forboth.
Mr. II. M. .■Wtephens, of Atlan
ta, dropped in to see us while heie
Friday and had his name entered
on our subscript,iou list again.
If you are suffering with rheu
matism do not forget that the edi
tor of thisppaper can ease your
pains with a harmless remedy for
one dollar. Jf not your money is
refunded.
Mr. Martin, the State .School
School Supervisor, put in good
time while here Friday talking to
the teachers, students and pupils.
Mr. Martin is the right man in
the right place, whose information
and instructions are valuable to
all.
Last Friday Messrs. Henry By
ers and Coffins Caveuder brought
in the escaped prisoner from the
Union county jail. He was chop
ping wood for one of the Mr.
Stringeis in the eastern part of the
county. The officers of Union
came after him,that night.
Were pleased to 4ueet State
School Supervisor Martin last
Friday morning. He came up to
talk to the teachers of Lumpkin
county. Mr. Martin has been here
several times, and he always lias
something interesting to tell them
that will be beneficial to each as
instructors.
Last Friday morning vve were
awoken by the voices of a bund of
guineas. The moon was shining
pretty and blight. In a few hours
it was cloudy and raining. When
you hear guineas singing after
night this way you may look for
rain. They do not want any one
to get wet.
Tae colored Baptist people tveie
thinking for a while that they
would enlarge their chutch, but
we suppose they have declined as
tbeir membership numbers only
fourteen and people have quit
giving the holy laugh and shout
ing like theyu skI to, and it does
not take a very large space for
those who meet to serve the Lord.
No ministor or missionary work
ers have been out to the jail to see
those little girl prisoners. Yet
some of you are eager to raise
money to help strangers who you
never saw. If it would be too
much of a strain to offer up a brief
prayer in their behalf a handker
chief or some other little present
bought from the funds sent away
would be appreciated by these
friendless prisoners. The county
does not furnish anything but food
and bedding, and the church is cut
off from them.
The other night Drof. John An
derson called us up and said he and
Lake Stiffens would play Turkey
in the Straw and a Rough Time In
Town Tonight, to hold the receiv
er. We did and enjoyed it very
much. It made us think of the
annual fiddlers conventions we us
ed to have in Dahlonega when
hundreds of pooplo would assemble
and spend a day in listening to the
vocal and instrumental music, com
ing front various counties. Every
thing passing off nice and pleas
ant, everybody enjoyed themselves
both old and young. We remem
ber at the first convention, when
two old citize us—one of Auraria
and the other a citizen of Dahlon
ega, both having readied their
three score years and ten, mount
ing the stage and danced when an
other old citizen started up Katy
Hill on his violin. All three have
long since passed away and many
others who wore present that day.
And our whiskers are growing
gray.
J. C. Fields, on Route 2, has a
lot of fine fodder to sell.
If n woman we would not care
about bussing a strange preacher.
You will see by ad that Mr. J.
H. McKee has some land to rent
out at Burtsboro.
Mrs. J. M. Brook slier went to
Atlanta with hor two sons when
they returned last Sunday.
Prof. John Anderson and Lake
Snltens will put on a musical en
tertainment at the Dahlonega Gra
ded School at 7 :3i B iturday night.
Rev. C. Johsoon, of Guyton,
Ga., will be here first Sunday in
March to preach at the Baptist
church and contract to become its
regular pastor.
Claud Gurley and Fred Ash
came near colliding out on the Dug
Hill road Sunday, so near that one
of their cars lost its fender. Doth
fortunately'running slow over the
slick road.
We heard of a wife out in the
country the other day who got al
most as tight as Dick’s hat band,
making it very unpleasant for her
husband who tastes not or han
dles not sugar tea. And not long
ago two deacons fell out about a
dog. What’s coming next?
What a sudden change there has
been 111 the weather. Up to Sat
urday for some time, near 3 weeks,
has been most warm and delight
ful, with the exception of one or
two days when it rained. But last
Saturday it began turning cold
and we had a light snow, and on
Monday morning war,ut water had
to be used to get some of the cars
started. Very mild now.
Last week Mr. Fred Fitts was
appointed PoBt Master of Dahlone
ga to take the place of F. M.
Meaders. who has held the office
for twelve years, and goes out
without any charge—only politics,
and his time was up in December
any way. (While Mr. Fitts is
young and active, fully competent,
one of our best citizens and we
feel that he will make a good Post
Master. The new official will take
charge soon as the papers are fix
ed up. The office will remain
where it is at, as the P. .(). De
partment leased the office some
time back sor five years. Later.—
We understand that Mr. Meaders’
time does not expire until the 29th
of September, and there is still a
fight ou for the office.
Mr. Martin, the State School
Supervisor, while here last week,
invited the editor of the Nugget
down to Atlanta. He said they
wanted to broadcast some of bis
sayings over the radio. We beg
ged to be excused because we have
always been very timid, unable to
say but little in publip. Not only
bashful when a boy, but are to this
day. So much so that when we
sit down to the table to dine ev
erything is placed in our reach so
we can start and finish without ut
tering a word. When a barefooted
boy at school only was able to
memorize but one verse of “Twin
kle, twinkle little star, how I
wonder what you are,’’ which was
delivered for a speech every Fri
day afternoon. When we reached
the yearling size of our boyhood
days we began working for Capt.
J. W. Woodward, in the old Sig
nal office, located ou the first floor
of the Masonic building. And
when seeing any ladies coming to
wards the office we would run
out at the back door to Capt.
Woodward’s kitchen and hide un
der the table. One day while mak
ing a run we fell and skinned one
knee. Aunt Myra Skelton, who
cooked there then, ran to our re
lief with a rug and a box of salve,
and being so shamed face that we
wouldn’t let her pull up our bjxncli*-
es leg, the kind hearted wo
man had to apply the salve and rag
on the outside over our knee tied
with a string to our breeches, be
ing visible. Later on when be
ginning to cut our mustache we
went a courting and couldn’t think
of nothing else to say after we told
her that it had been it pretty day
with closed lips looking like a fool.
So you sec our radio information
would not be very interesting.
