Mr. McDonald, father of Dr.
McDonald, the Dentist, dropped
in to see us Friday. He is an old
Confederate soldier and came to
enquire if we knew why the pen

legislature instructed by au act for
the gas tax funds to be used oti the
roads, which prevents the Pension
Agent from getting money enough

Sitton & Bro. w'ore the first per
sons in Dahlouega to subscribe for
a daily paper—the Atlanta Consti
tution, many years ago. People
would go to their store to hear the
news. And then the papers were
two days old a part of ths time', as
we only had a mail from Atlanta
three times a week, But we had
a mail direct to and from Blairs-
ville, Cleveland, Ellijay, Dawscn-
vil+c and Gainesville, carried on
horses, and could get a letter from
some of these places then as early
we do now, except Gainesville and
Dawsonville. The country across
the Blue Ridge being thinly settled
and the Dost Offices so far apart
that for a while the carrier had a
trumpet to blow so the citizens
alcng on the road could have their
letters ready for him so he could
take and mail them at the next
office. Uncle Sam has always been
clever.
We understand that they have
laid away their so called gold
saving machine down at the Sap-
rolito works near Aur&ria, after a
thorough test, and have giants,
plenty of water and aro oper
ating the mine the old way and
we feel confident will make money.
Heretofore the former owners did
not have water. And a placer
mine cannot be worked without
water in this section, or hasn’t-so
far. But since the property has
changed hands the owners have
cut a canal from the Hightower
river to the mine and have all the
water that is necessary to success
fully operate the mine. And
in addition to this have old native
miners helping who thoroughly
understand their business when
using pick or shovel. Now the so
called gold saving machine may j
have worked all right at other pla-j
places, Imt we are informed would I

We heard of one party spending

Notwithstanding the wet weath
er Mr. Nix has kept up pretty well
with his work on the college farm,
who works early amt late when the

A big dance took place at the
Mountain Lodge on Friday night
where many enjoyed themselves
for several hours. But being in
bed asleep didn’t know anything
about it until next morning. But
everything went on all nice and
smooth the same ns if we had been
present.
An Atlanta gentleman, while in
our office t.his week, s iid he w’as in
Florida during the terrible destruc
tive storm!,which visited that state
and thought he was gone. We
asked him if he made any appeals
to the great unknown. lie said
he did. Doubtless the gentleman
was scared so he did not know
what he said, but seemed to hit it
all right, because he escaped any
any injuries, and got back to At
lanta right side up with care and
very much pleased.
Years ago they had a meeting in
Dahlouega to see if the means
.could be raised to build a rail
road from Atlanta to this place
to run nine miles an hour, taking
more than eight hours to make the
70 miles trip. Now they are go
ing and coming with a horseless
carriage in about a couple of bouts
easily. I f some of those old peo
ple could rise up and see the many
wonderful changes that have tak
en place since they were called off,
wouldn’t they be greatly surpris
ed?
We have some few rattlesnakes

We notice from reading llie pa
pers that they have snake hunters
in dome sections, being boys, who
are paid 25 cents apiece for a rat
tler, and $00 for the one who kills
the largest number. Everything
else a person does to raise a little
money is taxed, and we would not
be surprised if tho next legis
lature includes the snake hun
ters when looking out industries lo
tax.
A number of strange ladies up
on meeting the editor of the Nug
get enquire if he is for or against
A1 Smith for President, and if he
is a member of the church. Of
course it doesn’t take long to an
swer these questions. But when
asked why we don’t join some
church we are too modest to tell
the ladies, because the ministers
have gotten us confused. Occa
sionally you hear of a preacher who
claims that a person must publicly
make a confession of his sins. This
by a country editor of long years
would take up a lot of time, some
of which might not be very pleas
ant for the occasian. Like the
old preacher once who told a new
member, who had been a rounder
in life, that he must tell it all, and
lie bfgan on things that didn’t
concern the congregation much,
but when winding up his story by
saying that he had kissed three
men’s wives whose husbands hap
pened to bo present, they arose and
were about to 1110b the fellow be*
fore lie could run out, off and
hide in the woods. Ministers should
be very careful about their instruc- !
tions to in sv converts, because it j
would have left more harmony in j
this church had not ibis informa
tion been made public.

Our office had a visit from four
distinguished gentlemen 1 nst Sat
urday, being Governor L. G.
Hardman, Representative G. C.
Adams, of Newton 'county, Rep
resentative J, IL Adams, of Wal
ton county, brothers, the former
residing at Covington, and the lat
ter at Social Circle, and Senator J.
S. Bavin, living at Beuua Vista.
All strong friends of the N, G. A.
College. By request Gov. Hard
man was invited to be present
and make an address at the Col
lege last Saturday, which was so
full of deep thought and. valuable
information that you will get the
benefit of it by reading next
%veek’s Nugget. The senator and
representatives all pulled together
for this institution, and helped our
senator and representative to ac
complish what was undertaken lor
it. And having always been a
warm friend to this College it is
natural for us to appreciate what
each have done and have a kind
feeling towards all. Gov. Hard
man is a candidate for a second
term. And Mr. G C. Adams wishes
to be elected to the office of Com
missioner of Agriculture, who is a
practical fanner, both of whom
will receive cur attention later on.
