M r8. .Brook slier has reduced
.the price of conts and sweaters.
jDr. McDonald writes us that he
could not get to Dahlonega last
week on account of tlie flu taking
and holding him down.
ltev. Taylor Dowdy, afer being
down sick a month with a severe
case of flu, was able te lill his ap
pointment at Yellow Creek last
.Sunday.
yhe editor of the Nugget will be
jin his otlice next week doing job
^rork and attending to other bus
iness, if the Lord is willing and
tjhe weather permits.
Mr. J. B. Moore, who attended
College here a few jears ago, lost
two or throe hundred dollars worth
of stuff a few nights ago in Atlan
ta by thieves entering his home.
Some people are always- crying
out hard times, and in goevtj health
too. Losing time to loaf is the
cause of a lot of hard times. Loaf
ing or attending ball games do
not bring in anything.
We understand that the City
Council will make an effort to
break up the “sons of rest” next
year. Why not? ,There is no
excuse for loafing when there is
work to be had. Able bodied per
sons need not sit around waiting
for easy jobs because they are
about all filled.
The white people here used to
sing “Keep your lamps trimmed
and a burning.’’ And the negroes
be heard singing aloud “turning
out” “God feeds his children on
honey and wine, we’ll sail away to
heaven by and by.” Nether is
appropriate now, because the
white folks ha-ye electric lights.
And such strigent laws have been
passed by both state and govern
ment if a negro starts to heaven
they will have to make the trip
without any wine and but little or
no honey.
We have been busy this week
placing the Prof. Ruga fund in the
hands of the paupers of Lump
kin county in order that they may
buy something that suits them
and enjoy Christines better. The
Professer never forgets the poor
and needy. This contribution is
all he has for Lumpkin county for
the present year. And we togeth
er with all these people return
thanks to Prof. Huge for his an
nual assistance just before Christ
mas, which helps to brighten their
homes making them happy at a
time when, the more fortunate peo
ple are enjoying peace and plenty
and no troubles whatever.
We had the pleasure last week
of meeting Mr. E. C. Ledogcr, of
Cleveland, Ohio, in company with
Mr. O. M. Dickison, of Atlanta.
It was Mr. Ledoger’s first visit to
Dahlonega. Both are connected
with the Northern Georgia & Elec
tric Power Co., and are engaged
in build.ng lines to light up other
towns besides Dahlonega in Geor
gia and North Carolina, which is
making fast progress considering
the winter season and short days.
The gentieman only spent a short
time but went over on the Findley
Ridge to see the mining operations
that are now in active progress on
this belt, and went away well
pleased with what he saw on this
ttrip.
Don’t forget that dance at Por
ter SpringsSChriftmas eve night. It
would likely surprise you to see
ye editor there with his up to date
slippers. We used to attend danc
es at Porter when Col. Farrow
was in charge, and chickens were
served at his hotel three times a
day if guests wanted it, because
fry size sold at ten and fifteen
cents a piece and eggs at eight and
ten cents a dozen. 1 hen when a
male person, either dancer or spec-
fator got thirsty for something
stronger'than water he could s.cp
off a little piece and find some
clever moonshiner waiting to fill
hii pint bottle with pure corn li
quor for twenty-five cents. '1 lie
music and dancing went on the
same and nothing was said about
it.
The Graded School closed for the
holidays last Wednesday.
Mr. (ins Arrendale is going to
leave Lumpkin and locale at the
Chicapee Mills in or near Gaines
ville.
Mr. Horchel Rider came in Sat
urday to renew his suheription to
the Nugget and attend to some
other matters.
Mr. Frank Parks will move in

City Marshal Watson found a

A lot of holly n being carried off
from this section now. It brings
a big price in Atlanta. Prof. Nix-
son, of the College here, Bays you

long until you will have a bush.
Last Friday morning twent-six
student? at N. G. A. College
were reported sick with flu, in
different forms. Most of them
were up latter part of last week.
But the number swelled again this
week.
When any one carries an empty
box and it is sold at a supper the
money sholud be returned, be
cause it is just as much violation
of law as a lottery. And besides
it is wrong and injures such sup
pers in the future.
Some of the printed stn.ionery
at the Nugget office was sent as
far away as Chicago for a Christ
mas present. Does any one else
wish to make a friend or relative
a valuable present of this kind?
If so we can do the printiag today
on up to and including Tuesday
In time if not to be seut too far.
Gov. Hardman being sick the
bonds for the comity officers were
much later being received, except
the Tax Receiver and Collector’s
state bonds. They reached us the
5th. Then 011 Sunday the Ordi
nary’s bond and other papers con
nected with it reached us, and pa
pers and no bonds or blanks for
some of the other offioers.
At the recent gathering at the
court house—that is one of them,
were the swimming match contest
and Carlton Cain losing his under
wear. The swimming match was
two matches placed in a pan of
water. And the loss Carlton pur
chased a new pair of drawers, put
them under him to sit on and
got interested in the boxing match
so that lie went off, forgetting his
beautiful white garment, disap
pearing before he returned.
The court house has been used
for various tilings this year—danc

Other tilings we are too modest to
tell. The door to the room stands
open both day and night. Noth
ing belonging to the county on
this floor lias been locked for a
long time except the toilet. The
court house is rarely ever used to
preach in except by some one who
wants to raise money. Never heard
of persons ; ‘.catching” religion
in a court house. But it is a good
place to contract some contageous
disease. Therefore St. Peter is not
expecting any 011c to come His way
with a hit of religion gotten «t a
court house. Here poor people
who get into trouble are given an

Not having heard from our old
friend, Mr. G. C. Wallace, who
left Dahlonega many years ago

lot of them could have pork for
breakfast. He lives nine miles
away, is not a farmer who sleeps
late, and raises plenty to dp him
and some to spare.

On Thursday night of last week
^ome one broke into Mr. Fred
Tones’ Garage and carried away
about $350.00 worth of auto sup
plies. They went through a win
dow. On the next night some oue
stole Mr. Ben Anderson’s auto
pump, and might have took his
car from under the shed at the
store had it not been locked. You
know we told you we needed a
night .watchman worse than a day
watchman. Don’t this prove it?
Every -merchant should keep a

Yesterday was the Tax Collec
tor’s last dpy. Of course all the
taxes are got paid. A lot °f P ea ‘
pie would be behind if they had
20 years to pay' in. And num
bers go on the insolvent list. Sev
eral able bodied persons always
fail to pay their polls, letting them
go otfer for some candidate to pay
etf just before an election, enjoying
themselves same as those who pay
promptly, including poor widow
women who some times have to
strive hard to raise the money to
save their little homes. This way
of candidates paying people’s tax
es by an amendment being made
to the registration law so as to in
clude primaries—no paying or reg

one. A garnishment can also be
issued agaiust or for any one’s h-

for years eyery person paid their
taxes promptly.
