A copy cl llie Nugget is maiLd
to a minister in Shanghai, Chi
na, today.
We sell copies of the Nugget ev
ery week. Something unusual for
a weekly paper.
When needing any good, best or
better stationery , lots of it for a lit
tle money, either blank or primed
call at the Nugget office.
We sent some printed stationery
to a gentleman in North Carolina
last week. Does any one else, c ith
er far or near, need any?
Both the Methodist and Baptist
churches have clever., attcn:i\<:

The tree frog has a right to sing
and rejoice more than common
this year, because it has been fur
nished with plenty of drinking wa
ter without coming down out of
the tree and going to the branch
after it.
While some of the men had not
planted a grain of corn up to last
week, we know of a widow woman
and her two daughters who had al
ready finished. But they worked
early and late every day fitten for
for farm work.
We heard of a fellow who drank
enough to get him down on his
knees and unable to rise up any
farther. Had he been at the prop
er place a stranger might have be
lieved that he was offering,up a
little petition. But you need nut
ask us who it is.

We understand that there is one
fellow in this county who reports a
distillery every time he gets druok,
if he knows of one. Don't mean
to do it, but a few doses of sugar
liquor causes luni to tell it. \\ c

Mr, Robert Moran, the night

A certain man’s wife in Dahlon
ega raised a big racket with her
husband recently because "he dis
covered a hair on one of his .shoul
ders which had a different color to
hers She had much more to say
about it than n guest would at his
boarding house when striking
hair while gnawing on a piece of
pie. Don’t mention it because the
husband feels bad while his wife
is still pouting.
Mr. Geo. A. Matthis, who .was
in bad health, came up on Thurs
day afternoon of last week from
the city of Atlanta and together
with his wife, stopped at the
Mountain Lodge. He seemed to be
getting along very well, who told
Mr. Zimmer, the Proprietor, a
while after supper, that lie felt
better and thought maybe this
mountain air might help him. But
in half an hour he lay a corps.
Bob Moaders raises bees and
when they don’t suit him lie takes
lady queen and transfers her and
her family to a new home. Bob
also raises chickens and when an
old lien quits laying and wants to
take a rest of near a month con
trary to the owners wishes, he
picks the clucker up in his arms at
the stable and transfers her to a
place on his lot up in town, where
new sceues of town life causes her
to change her mind and begin fur
nishing fresh eggs for the table.
About three weeks ago County
Policemen Joe Davis and Emory
Brackett visited a distillery not far
from Clay Creek Falls, got the
copper and destroyed the rest of
the outfit. On the 7G 1 they had
reasons to believe there was ' an
other copper in the furnace at the
same place, and they made anoth
er trip. Had been but was pulled
and hid near by, which caught the
officers eyes while looking around.
Garland Brookslier was with them
again. Then some one shot at them
from a cluster of woods, which
caused the officers to pull the
triggers to their pistols, being kept
up on both sides until it sounded
like a sham battle when thirty' or
forty shots were fired, the atiinni-
tion gave out, or about so. Brook-
slier fired two shots, when a bullet
passed close by his head. He ceas
ed firing and put up his pistol. Af

and found the moonshiners had
