Cols. McDade and Turpen have

tleuien aimliave.found them to be
Btaight forward and conscientious
business hien. It seems that these
gentlemen have been slow in dis
posing of these lands to our people.
Most of us are to impatient.
Their At t’y explains this satis
factorily to the- publics, Jie has
been abstracting these lands, and
the only difficulty lie finds is that
uot more than fifty per cent of the.
deeds of the 'Rabun lands are of re
cord and since ibis work has been
>n progress their At t’y has placed
?5 per cent of the deeds to the
lands bunded to men McDado and
Turpen ou record, so soon as part
ies will put their titles ton record
we predict thesej|geintlenian will
placo something pke $100,000 dol

The Snow.
It is snow, enow, the beautiful
snow, that comes so noiselessly and
makes such a show. It comes and
uud catches us without any wood,
which gets us all a growling and
in bad tuood. it keep, t the
school girls from going to school,
and makes 1I10 boys to act tile
fool, by sno.v-balling you
while on the. stieet, and you fared
badly if you didn’t retreat*. It is
so beaunful, and it is so wliite, but
it’s reflection will surely hurt
your sight. Blill 1 don’t,— well 1
just don’t know, if we would or
would’nt have it snow. Just oc
casionally for just a change, but
the Clayton boys—just keep out of
their range. Sometimes we think,
just about so, that the girls have
excuses to throw &i their beau. 1
don’t know, but 1 ju»t guess, that
1 saw some of them doing their
best. The occasion was simply a
good excuse, to get off on Profes
sor a niceiiilie ruse. There were a
number going round and round,
sometimes standing, sometimes a-
gruuud. Some heads were
wrapped, some were.bare; some of
them locked like a ga^g^bear.
Such hollowing and acreiUj■£$(> nit
my! But there were no roars, just
a goo-goo eye. To one’ just look
ing and, standing by, flfere’siio us<
talking—no use to Jie. You need
not biainc them, sure not I. Some
think it awful, some think it nice,,
but Very disagreeable when it turns
to ice. - But this was a big one,
a great big dub, and, Lord have
mercy, just look at the mud. Mud,
mud, mud, and the very reddest
mud, and sometimes we go jus?
thud, thud, thud. So now you see,
so now you know, all this is the re
sult of 1 he last big snow. So we
write this for to let you Know, that
we too, cau say something’ of the
great big snow. And to tbes3
lines, if you want to make- songs,
the snow-ball gang were out at
John Long’s. Wc are no poet—to
poets w» are not akin, but if you
like this, wc may come agin.

STONE PILE.
Written for last week.
There is not touch news or pas
sing in the lust week. -■>
There has been a little law andl
the biggest snow since the wood*
were burnt. It was twelve inches*
deep on a work bench aud it seem*
to get away very slow.
Someone wanted to know if our
correspondent L wae going to kin ;
both old and Young. The promise,
is to all and if elected it will just
be the prettiest ones. That is. the*
way politics runs.
The Q_uariz correspondent beat
me. We asked the Baptist Banner
printer at Cummings, Ga., tome,
years ago how it was that our taw*
would allow men to sell corn at |i
and 8 per cent interest when it.
wou'd bring only 75 cents, also-
charge 1O and 124 per cent inter
est when the law only allows eight
when uncertain. I asked some one*
to explain the difference m tbifr.
and other things but got no answer
but The Tribune hes published hie-
We would be glad if some on*
would make a square cut and nob
round up the corners and smooth
up the lower places and jump that
high ones.
We are going tc ask the candi
dates for- representative to speak
in bur.dietrict and give their plat
form. Then we will find oat if
they are running for the money,
honor or the; good they can do.
We expect a lively time.
