It makes no difference what kind

The Third Party is thinking
about having their national con
vention in Chicago.
Last republican meeting in Kan
sas City was the stormiest one

Girls may be kissed on either
Cheek, but the proper procedure is
to hesitate beteeu the two, is the
hist ructions given by the editor of
tlid Clermont (Florida) Press. So
try this next time, and see if our
Florida friend has thrown any
light on the subject that will add
dny more pleasure to it.
We see where a south Geor
gia sheriff was asked if he was
going to vote the republican ticket
in preference to A1 Smith, whose
reply was: “ITell, no. I would
not have voted tor Rim in the con
vention if the devil had been run
ning ag.iinst him, but if the party
that has savSd mi and saved riiy
people and my section cu tho coun
try nortiinate him damned if I
ain’t going to vote for him. I
had rathfer go to beef with a wet
Catholitid than with a negro.”
Upon every teacher and
leader of men there rests an
immeasureable responsibility, be
cause he moulds public opinion,
because he literally holds in his
power the key to their future
thought and action. For this rea
son the civilization we have today
reflects the character of our for
mer teachefs and leaders and our
future eivization will reflect the
character of the teachers and lead
ers of today. It behooves then,
to choose wise and good men to
lead us on the onward march cf
progress. Is the wise remarks
made iiy Editor McGormick of
the Suwannoe (Fla.) Democrat.
A young woman was found in a
parked car at Americas the other
morning tired, sleepy and hungry.
She told the police that she had
met a young mnn in Albany sev
eral days before and had accom
panied him to that city in a car,
where he deserted her and she had
been without food for a couple of
days. She begged to be sent back
to her brother’s home in Birming
ham, Ala. After sleeping in a
cell for several hours she was tak
en by a prominent citizen to his
home, given a bath and new cloth
ing, then the police and fne de
partment bought the poor girl a
ticket ar.d complcd with her re
quest. This shows that gills should
beware of strange ) cuing men, and
many tliey realty know.

This news item comes fromGad-

treed a ’possum last winter. Worm
Brooksher beat Wiley to the tree
and got the ’possum, Wiley took
Worley to the church. Worm
proved that he had caught the
’possum last fall and markea it.
So liegainad the ’possum because
it was frr hfs mark. Worm pointed
out the dog to the church that
treed it and told the dog’s name.
Don’t know what the Game War

From a letter received from Ca
nute, Oklahoma, on Monday we
learn that they had tho biggest
rain and ha’l storm Thursday night
of last week ever kfrown to fall;
The rainfall watt said to be seven
inches. A few houses were blown
down but no one killed. This is
the second destructive hail storm
they have had there this season,
destroying tho first crop planted.
Now the second, being too late
this time to plant any irtOre cotton
this year. Since receiving this let
ter we notice thai other parts of
Oklahoma were visited by cyclones
Saturday night and Sunday, de
stroying towns and killing a num-
of peoplo.
The announcement of Thos. M
Bell appears in this issue of the
Nugget, giving notice that he is a
candidate for reelection to Con
gress, a position he has ably filled
for many years. So far he has no
opponent, aud don’t believe will
because in former races he has de
feated some of 1I10 very best men
in the Ninth District—some of
these poseessing all the money
needed in such a campaign. But
their money and popularity had
no effect. Mr. Bell always receied
a big majority, and in a few races
carried his opponent's bounty. We
were against him in his last race—
no objections to any of his official
acts, b.twns kinder like a boy
with a good knife, wanted to swap,
not with the expectation of get
ting a better knife, but just
to be swapping. Notwithstanding
our opposition to him lie has treat
ed us courteously and nice, aud
this time are not going to do or
sty what the juror did who differ?
ed with the rest that “they were
eleven of the d- e:-t sat of fools lie
j over saw.” But will be with the
majority of the citizens of this DU-
1 tfict aud vote for Tom Bull.

One of the teachers informed us
Sunday that they were giving
i 11 g them good service at the Suni-
mer i School here. Besides the ex
penses were less than at other pla
ces and the weather more pleasant.
Col. West, the President of the
College, has lost no time in his ef
forts getting teachers here to con
vince them of these facts.
One day last week we learned
that a friend of ours out in the
country had been drinking so much
and so long till he imagined the
robbers were after him, causing
the poor fellow to run to the words
the other day and throw his poek-
etbook and money away, and it
fookliis folks some time to find it.
Our friend had better cut part or
all this out before it takes the con
tents of his pockctbuok to buy a
coffin.
MissCleo Bruce, one of the three
orphan girls, died on Sunday night
after a long illness aged 15, and
was buried by the side of her fath
er, Mr. Ed Bruce, at Auraria the
following day, who passed just
seven weeks previous. Funeral
services were conducted by both
the Pastors of the Methodist and
Baptist churches at Dahlonega,
Revs. J. S. Smith and A. C. John
son. The survlng csisters have
been given homes each by their
two brothers.
Last week we learned that the
fellow in this county who takes nil
fuiuual spree of two or three weeks
was on it aud was occupying his
usual quarters, being a blacksmith
shop, where he goes and stays both
day and night until he finishes up
and then returns to work, being ail
industrious man. It is at this shop
that his wife goes and carries her
husband milk and any thing else
that will agree with his stomach,
as he eats but very littje when 011
these protracted sprees. The
neighbors call this shop a lio-pit-
al. Now it may be that the soli
tary confinement adopted by this
countryman is best, Ik cause he h.is
no occasion to swear, fight or \ iu 1 -
late any other laws of God or mail,
and if he kicks in his sleep r.n one
is disturbed or injured cfcu i .nt bis
self in case lio was to take a very
j severe spell of kicking and lose a
j toenail or two by his feet Coming
>iu can tact with the anvil block.

Settle promptly and save cost.
Colonel Cochran, one of the Ru
ral Mail Carriers, is also making a
crop, and as soon as lie makes his
round lights out of his auto and
gets in between the plow handles,
aud gives his sons who are with
him a practical knowledge of farm
ing.
A salesman, who had been up in
Towns county and on his way back
to Atlanta last week told us that
they hud no negroes or lawyers up
there and raised 110 cotton. Ho they
have no trouble about the absence
of these people or an unfavorable
crop of cotton or its low price.
They are getting everything
regulated down at the mining
dredge, moving along nicely'. Un
cle Bev. Johnson, one of the best
workers and most reliable miners
to be found any where, is present.
The gold that gets away from him
Will not make much of a yellow
streak.
Mr. R. Forester, of Blairsville,
called in to see 11s a few' days ago.
He is a Rural Letter Carrier, who
with liis horse and buggy lias been
driving over the hills and through
the valleys delivering the peo
ple’s mail to their, homes for a
long time. It is in this way he saw
the Nugget aud wished to meet its
editor and have the paper come
to his address weekly.
Boys and young men, learn to
save money. There is nothing
more important to you, because
old age will come slipping in ou
yop .’by and by, and stay with you,
when no doubt you will need
some of the money you are wast
ing today. We have known men
right here in Dahlonega with plen
ty of money and property duriffg
their lives, lose it all by bad man
agement and die penniless.
Before the stock law went into ef
fect most every family in our county
and many in town had a cow or
two anfl milk and butter was plen
tiful and all the beef that could lie
used at seven ami eight cents of
pound. Aud after being milked
you could hear tho bells and sec
the cows leaving town, going to
the woods in every direction at
this seasou of the year, to graze
until night, being no expense to
the owners during the spring and
summer. Now you never hear a
cow bell in town, or see but very
few cows, and they are either tied
to a stake suffering for water, or
in a so called pasture where a -
small gang of geese could soon eat
every green thing in sight. A lit
tle butter brought iu from the
country at 80 cents per pound, and
occasionally you will find a small*
amount of western beef priced at
35 cents far sixteen onnees.
Very often right fbnny things
happen in churches same as in the
br.H room and at corn sluickings.
Some time back we had a pastor in
Dahlonega, a true Christian, who
was deaf, and most everything the
leader said was repeated by the
members. One night after servi
ces wore over several arose, one at
a time, and told bow tliey felt and
wliut good things the Lord had
done for them. At the first oppor
tunity a brother got up and said :
“Brothers and sisters, I am sick,”
and sat down. “Thank God,”
s A ! the pastor, -which was repeat
ed by the other members. lip
jumped the ill brother again who
spoke in a very earnest manner:
“Fi Kinks, I am real siek—bad
oil.’' And seated himself, being
a Hi tic nervous. But when the pas
ture veiled out “Glory to God,”
and this was repeated, it got the
poor fellow iu u terrible shape,
likely sorry that he said anything
1 1 ut his court it ion.
