The speed limit of Dahlonega
cannot be legally enforced in its
present shape—15 miles nil hour
in one side of town and twenty in
the other. Then neither is le
gal because the speed limit fixed
by the legislature is 30 miles an
hour and our cfiarter forbids any
ordinance being passed that con
flicts with the state law. Why not
the City Council pass an or
dinance that C3U be legally enforc
ed? It is to the towns interest. And
not liecp worrying the people un
til the Automobile Association m
Atlanta will give directions for
motorists to go the other roid,

down in Georgia not long ago on
account of travelers being delayed.

was first built for a jail, which was
used for years by both town and

We met our old friend, Mr. Gus
Arrendale here from Auraria last
Saturday, growing older but dull
of life. Gus is the one who came
across an acquaintance of his one
coid night in the road not far
from Auraria, who had fallen by
the wayside, sick and vomiting,
caused by an overdose of liquor,
and might have frozen to death
lnd if not been for the one whose
name we have mentioned above,

fortunate person would die if left

got help and carried him in to the
fire, and when the feflow began to

chew of tobacco and found that his
false teeth were gone. Gus, Good
Samaritan like, took a light, went
and searched the place the follow
had “occupied” and found where
the teeth and gums had separa
ted. Gus carried them to the
house, hastily washed and placed
the false crushers in the proper po
sition he thought, but when the
unfortunate traveler in the night
went to close his jaws to crush the
tobacco, it was found that the teeth
had been set upside down, causing
a readjustment to have to be made
before the head machinery would
