Thole aie now four stores up the
Cooper Gap road or highway be
tween Dahloncga and the Blue
Ridge, with filling stations.
Those owing W. 13. Tewtisend
by note will please send in the in
terest, if no more. If not they will
find their notes in officers hands
for collection.
Mr. Boyd, who dropped into see
us Saturdry from Lavender's
Creek, informed us that his moth
er had returned to Florida to en
ter his sister in school. We hope
the storm did not strike them.
Last week was the finest and
most sunshine we linvo had for the
same length of time up here
in this county for months, being
good on the road workers and far
mers, and every one else having
outdoor work to do.
Many people were too busy in
the country pulling their fodder to
attend the election last week. One
hundred and seven can vote in Au-
raria District, hut only twenty-
five participated. And the vote in
other Districts were light.
The “sons of rest” here also had
an all night session at their usual
place of holding in tire court house
yard, after the polls closed
for the election, which gave them
ample lime to smoke and chewand
transact all other business brought
before it.
The managers of the election
here last week were in session all
night, taking a rest at 4 o’clock
the ne Jv t morning for a few hours.
When they met again and wore un
til after lo o’clock finishing, show
ing that it is no pleasure in being
an election manager when there
a're so in my candidates.
We stated last week that candi
dates names had to be sent in 30
days before the election to the Or
dinary. Upon investigation we
learn that this means state house
officers, vvUo arc forwarded to the
Secretary of State, and the names
of the county officers nominated
are furnished fifteen daj’s by the
one in charge, to the Ordinary ot
the county before the general elec
tion. Likewise by independents.
The grading of the Woody Gap
highway and the i4 miles by I'or-
ter .Springs to intersect with the
Neel Gap Road at Ash’s bridge,
have been but little use to tho
traveling public this year on ac
count of so much rain, and a loss
ef money to Dahloncga and Porter
Springs, but this will all bo made
up when the grading of these
roads is completed and tho hard
finishing touch takes the place of
rsd dirt and mud. Then you will
see tlieuqcrowded with people every
day during warm weather, who
will be out for their health and
pleasure.
Can’t feel friendly towards the
game lav/ \vbeu those favoring it
have kept on until the darned old
ugly ’possum and fox are allowed
to catch and eat people’s chickens,
and the Coon that destroys the far
mer’s corn, is protected. And a.
tiller of tho soil, after working and
toiling from early mom till dewy
eve can’t protect his crop front thu
destructive squirrels. Fixing it so
when lie goes out with his gun in
search of a rabbit lie must buy
a license, the money for which is
given to those who are reared back
in the shade, accupying a comfort
able office chair, cooled by an elec
tric fan while smoking fine ci'gars.
Mill Creek District, sent in a
solid vote for Fred Jones af
ter the polls closed last week and a
big watermelon to the winner be
sides.
Uncle Bill Brackett, of this
place, was telling about a peculiar
snake last Friday. He said Hint
it was about eight inches long, had
a head on each end and crawled
both ways at the same time.
Mr. Bob Davis, of Atlanta, call
ed in to sec us and renew his sub
scription to the Nugget, while up
to spend a day or two with the old
folks at home. Bob has a lot of
friends up this way who lovo to
see him come.
Mr. Bev Johnson carried his
sick wife down to Downy's Hos
pital, Gainesville, recently, for nn
exray examination, and was in
formed that the physicians at J.)ah-
lonega were doing hor as much
good as could be done there.
We extend to the students a
most hearty welcome, hoping that
they will stay well and happy and
learn ‘‘lots’’ while they are young
and active, because when they be
gin creeping about with a heavy
load of old age it will lofe too late.
We had a nice shower here at
2 :2© Saturday morning, the first
rain for the week, Then it ceas
ed "and next morning it was
clear and bright and everybody as
happy as if they were going to a
picnic or a wedding, or been to a
corn shucking and filled lip on
chicken and dumpling and slice po-
ta pic.
Uncle Dal Loggins called at the
Nugget office a few days ago look
ing hale and hearty. He had been
down lo Alabama, who came by to
see Charley McAfee, one of our
old campmoeting companions,
and found him with a fiddle and a
drum beating, playing and whist
ling the “devil’s on the hillside”
with all the variations.
T. H. Ctunp, an old Dahlonega
College bqy, was nominated for the
legislature in Forsyth county last
week. We love to hear of any
person who put in liis school days
in such a useful manner as to ena
ble him lo succeed in getting
011 the topmost rail when starting
out in this busy old world vve are
temporarily dwelling id.
We are sorry to learn that our
friend and natron, Mr. W. H. Mar
shal’s health is rapidly declining,
rendering him unable to labor any.
He used to be a big stout man but
since May has fallen off more than
forty pounds. Wc are told that an
examination at Downeys was made
when it was found that he had an
eight inch heart—too large for his
health to be good.

A gieat tropical storm started in
l’orto Rico last week which con
tinued until it crossed through
Florida, leaving death and de
struction in its brond path from
lieginnning to ending. The ablest
and most expert writers will
never be ab'e to tell it all. Be
fore leaving l’orto Rico hum!rods
of lives were blotted out ni.dbno,-

ReV. Taylor Dowdy, who has
charge of Yellow Creek Church in
Hall, passed through Dahlonega
last Saturday morning to fill his
appointment at that place, and to
baptize nine converts, making a
total of thirteen who have joined
this church during the recent re
vival. The others were baptized a
week previous. Within a short
distance is the old Yellow Creek
campground or arkor, built many
long years ago, where the citizens
of the comtnuti ty and for many
miles away would meet annually
and spend a week in, carrying on
religions work, at a time when
there were but few churches. Now
the whole country is dotted with
places of woiship and no excuse
for any one not attending services.
This is one reason there is but one
days service held at Yellow
Creek Camp Ground each year, on
Sunday. We attended this camp
ground many years ago. Some
times making it a foot. When
without any conveyance we made
it convenient to cross the Chesla-
tee rivereai 1 y, and in rotmniu-
ing bad to make it late in getting
to what was called then ‘ Neis-
ler’s Ford”. No bridge, and we
