We notice from the Gwinnett
Journal that the cotton red spider
lias recently made its appearance
and is doing a lot of damage in
some sections, but it is not a very
dangerous pest, as it only works in
Binall patches in the fields and is
easily detected. Where it starts
the cotton vviil have the ap
pearance of rust and the leaves
will begin to crisp and die. The
best method is to clear the weeds
all around and spray the cotton
with kerosene emulsion — by beat
ing one-half pound of hard soap in
a gallon of water and constantly
stir until the soap dissolves, re
move from fire. Add gradually
two gallons of kerosene, while
stirring. Then mix by pumping
back and forth l y a spray pump
or by churning till a eicam cum!

We received a long card of
thanks to publish last week with
the request that we send a copy of
the paper having it. How could
an editor make a living if he was to

ling to do some things for accom
modation, but this is asking a lit
tle too much,
Mr. R. G- Vaughn, who has
been with the Atlanta Stove Works
for a long time, called in to see us
last Friday, in company with Mr.

self up here where he was raised

The other day Mr. Klda Boston
stepped to our cffice door and said
he had something in the wagon to
show us. We started but when
told that it was a live rattlesnake
three feat and a half long, with six
rattles we began backing, altough
the snake was tied. There are
two things we do not want to look
at, being a dead person and a live
rattlesnake. This snake had crawl
ed up in a wood pile where Mr.
Boston was getting wood. But it
didn't show any fight until it was
caught and being tied. A rattler
does not like to be tied.
On Thursday of last week at ten
minutes of I2 o’clock Uncle John
Davis, the electrician at the power
plant at Cane Creek Falls, lost his
life while putting in the second
fuze f which burned out during
the storm. Without stopping the
machinery h; began putting in
new fuze, as doubtless he had done
often times before. Got the first
one in all right, but when he put
in the second one, it made the con
nection and the strong current
of many volts gave the death shock
and Uncle John dropped to the
floor dead. Mr. Frank Fitts, Pat
Welch and others were pres
ent. Physicians were soon pres
ent, but there was no chance to
restore him. His wife being dead
Uncle John’s aged sister lived
with him. The old man had been
in charge of this plant five years,
six months and n days Never
missed but one day or night during
this entire time, which shows how
attentive lie was to business.
Although tbe deceased was sixty-
one, if bo eyer bad an enemy

placed at rest at Bethlehem church

services were conducted by Rev.

the day before, twjsting off big

None of the ladies must beceme
offended at wluit we say about

bo in style with the ladies.
Mr, Dave | Pruett, formealy of
Dahlonega, but now of Griffin,
callod in to see us while up visit
ing relatives last week. Mr. Pru
ett spent all his time working in
the gold mines after growing old
enough to labor, except the two

dreds of pennyweights of the yel
low metal, who says lie still knows
of several rich veins here.

brother who is at work in the
Atlanta Pest Office. In mention
ing things he liked, said his party

Hotel. No one who patronizes our
hotels here ever go away hungry,
which is a good advertisement for
our town. lie carried a copy of
the Nugget home who will
learn more about Dahlonega, as
he did not have ldng to tarry. We
like to see these people visit our
town. Hope they will come again,
stay longer and bring others with
them.
We met Mr. Lewis Gaddis, of
Texas, here last week. He is a
son of Mr. Bud Gaddis, who lived
in the building on the corner near
Mr. John Moores, and kept a mar
ket where Mr. Greenway now
resides. The present Mr. Gaddis
left with his psrents at tlio age of
12, forty-two years ago, who grew
to manhood and made a success in
business. Followed the drug bus-
sness until his health failed. Now
owns a large farm, five hundred
acres in cotton which will make
him a right nice sum of money
provided the season is favorable.
Mr. Gaddis said lie had a desire
to see tbe home of his boyhood
days ouce more and for the last
ttuie, accompanied by some of his
relatives. After spending a few
days here took his departure to
come no more. Miss Ethel Bran
non, who used to live out there ac-
enupanied him and his folks, and
will gone till September.
The City Council for the sake of
humanity should have a more san
itary prison for unfortunate per
sons than the present calaboose.
It is not fit for the imprisonment
of a dog much less a human beii g
and is a d— 11 shame and a dis
grace to our town. For months
there lias been talk of making a
change. Why put it off? A pris
on is not for the purpose of pun
ishing a person, much less endan-
juriug their health, until convict
ed of some offense. Yet a young
fellow, innocent of any charge,
was imprisoned for a while in this
hog pen. Months ago tbe Thom
as building was condemned on ac
count of its unsanitary condition
and nobody allowed to occupy it,
ot even to store ice, notwithstand
ing defendants are forced to go to
this prison and stay under a city
ordinance, when every member of
the council know that it is an nu
ll tilth;-/ p'a:e,|yet we will b 1 y r 1 cli
about the condition and health of
persons residing in other countries?
Gentlemen, why delay? It is dau-
p r ms, beciuse some one may sue
the town for damages, nr ti uch a
lurch to this building in order to J
gi t t id of the get ms.
