We understand that they are

Mr. Charlie Fitts, of Dahlouo-

member of the Board of Trustees
of the A. & M. School, at Clarkes-

three days session of the Board,
who reports it in fine condition,
with the exception of the damages
of the recent fire. Both hoys and
girls work. The girls sew and the
boys give their attention to the
farm, something that will be of
lasting benefit to them after their
school days are over. If they do
not have to work in after years it
will be no disadvantage to them
to know how.

In eight days besides getting

The roads were soon nice and
smooth for a couple of days last
week when the heavy rains ceased
and the cars were going in every
dilection Sunday. We met a
couple of gentlemen who came up
that morning from Marietta in
time for breakrast.
ville told us that the negro who
shot Merck down there some time
ago and was supposed that he had
been taken from prison and lynch

and the city to be given a black
eye by some, was found and arres
ted. Escaped, and has been ar
rested the third time. So if any
of this negroc’s friends wish to
get his picture or a lock of Lis

Last week we had a -how' every
night. It was a nice, clean show.
Although the weather was too un
favorable ior prayer meeting the
show was well attended and car
ried off a lot of money received
from some that ought to have gone
to merchants for groceries bought
on a credit, carrying the money off
out of the country, when it is
needed at home. We don.t owe
anybody yet we did not attend.
A lot of people turn a deal' ear to
those in distress who will give the
last quarter they have to see some
woman get up on the plat form and

that we are saying this because we
had no advertisement in the Nug
get. Hut we were called on by
the showman wanted to insert
an -rul. We didn’t have the space.
This causes 11s to think. Every
little show is permitted to come
in Dahlonega by the,city authori
ties and gather up and carry off a
lot of money to the detriment of
the town, while at the same time
refuse to let a citizen shoot rabbits
that are rating up his sweet pot ito
slips.

What do you think? A certain
married man out in the country
appeared at a widow .woman’s
house at 2 o’clock the other morn
ing and knocked o|i the door.
“Who is that;?” enquired the
lady, ,lle gave name. “What do
you want?” was then asked.
“A peek of early seed corn.” The
lady informed the early visitor
that he could not get any coni
then, but to come around the next
day and he could have it. The far
mer lias never returned, ,I list
think of a wife sending her hus
band out before day in search of
seed corn and the ground too wet

So much wot weather caused more
of the high ,rock wall on Main
Street leading to the College to
fall last week. There is a little
history about this rock wall which
is not known to many people
here now. A long time ago a
small house, not Will Howells,
stood below this wall, in which an
old 111111 and his t wo daughters liv-
el. Some boys stood up on this
wall one night and decided that
they would cast a few stoues at the
house and see the occupants all
run. The old man stepped to the
d .or with a cocked gun, pulled the
triggar, when one of the party fell
over dead. The others ran. Thus
ended the program.

left forty odd years ago.
And the otlu-r about thirty. And
what surprised us most was
to -meet persons who we;1 earned

stepping in to our office. Many
changes lime taken place since
they left, causing each to have n
sad feeling when they began en-
.quir.ing about many of their old
friends and acquaintances and
found that they had been cariied
to the city of the dead.
We heard a good one on a drum
mer who had been traveling^ all
through this most .delightful
mountain section for years, occa
sionally having a woman with him
supposed to be his wife. Now do
not go and tell it. He had been
stopping at a hotel not far from

of the wife of the hotel proprietor I
to visit the rooms while the men |
were out and talk to their wives to!
keep them from being lonesome,
very often going and corning out :

day this drummer came in bring
