CLIPPINGS FROM DAHLONEGA NUGGET They are getting very particular and modest in New York, as the judge gave a girl three months in the work house for rolling her stock ings on the street. Every man going to that city should wear suspenders, because if one’s belt was to burst and be unable to catch his pants be fore they dropped to the pavement he would be sure to go to the gang. It looks like we will have to leave tiff our cap or lose out. Last week one of our friends came to town ar.d didn’t know us. And since that time while coming to town up the Wimpy Mill road and meeting one of our friends Lance driving a team the mules got scared at us and dashed off. We have not heard whether either Mr. Lance or his son with him got hurt, as we ran jn the oppsite direction to get out of the sight of the mules to try to avoid this. * * * Our short or bobbed tail shirt is still drawing up, and if there is any one in the office when a sizing spell strikes us during the day we have to run behind the door until it is all over to keep from being em barrassed. This is a lot of trouble. And if we do not soon get a no sneeze remedy you will hear of an editor’s shirt being burned, because we do not wish to be worried, and mean to make our last days the hap piest, especially when we can do it by the loss of one match. We saw a “drove” of new cars pass through Dahlonega one day laSt week, for Cleveland, someone said. Used to be droves of mules going the other way. But the course has been changed. The mules come in and the money goes out. • * * Mr. Homer Ray of this place is a model young man. He doesn’t swear, drink liquor, smoke, chew tobacco, dip snuff or play ball, but works every day and saves his money. e • • When the editor of the Nugget was a lad children were proud to receive three sticks of candy, costing five cents, from Santa Claus on Christ mas. Now’ it takes an auto and a pack of cigaretts to please a boy, and a box of red lip paint and a piano to cause a girl to smile. * * * Mr. Carl Brooksher has been up ] from Winder this week. We will never forget our young friend. It was in his car we took our first au- ] to ride. We do not remember now who it was that held us in the car. • * * It is getting about time for the letter purporting to have been writ ten by Christ and put under a rock to appear in some of the papers. We have never found room for it, because Christ had no cause to write and hide any letters. • * * What did Noah feed the bean beet les, boll weevils and Texas fleas on during the flood? Didn’t have any such pests in the ark. ‘‘Jangled Nerves ’ A prominent brain specialist of Atlanta, in an interview with an Atlanta Journal w'rlter, said: “In walking from the Candler building to Fivf Points you meet with more brain disturbances than your great-grandfather encountered in a week’s time. “I don’t mean that things are more hectic here than in other places this size, though they probably are busier. “In the course ,of your walk you dodge traffic, you notice a pretty girl, you wonder how you are going to meet the note that’s due, you re member the baby that cried all night in the apartment next to yours, and you hurry jup to keep the appointment that is ten minutes past time already. “Your brain is in a stew. You suffer from ‘brain strain,’ and every body else does in this hurly-burly day, with life made up of repressions and a constant struggle for existence. “About 50,000 people a year are admitted to the asylums of this country, and the reason is brain strain. “The idea is general that decay of the mind is due to decay of the holy. It isn’t so. Alcoholism and one other cause play their diastrous part, but most mental patients are sound in body. They are not suffering from brain tumors or from skull in juries caused by falls receive! in childhood. Jangled nerves due to conditions of modern life.” Home made meal, made from Jackson county corn. —Boggs Bros. & Dadisman. Joseph G.

Ladies and Everybody Invited MUSIC BY BAND Remember Date, MONDAY, AUGUST 23rd A PRACTISING LAWYER FOR SIXTY-FIVE YEARS (By William H. Beck, Jr.) When the superior court of Spald ing county convened at Griffin, sit ting at the bar was a familiar fi gure—a figure that has been sitting at the bar of justice in middle Geor gia for exactly sixty-five years. And when the presiding judge of the Spalding superior court had organized his court and started calling the di vorce docket he called: “Jones against Jones, T. W. Thurmon for the plain tiff.” Thomas W. Thurmon rose from his seat and attended to the case before the court; Thomas W. Thur man, the oldest practicing attorney in Georgia, if not in the entire coun try. This, venerable barrister has been before the bar of justice for sixty-five years, as he was admitted to practice law by the state of Mis sissippi on March 7, 1861. Thomas W. Thurman w r as born in Butts county, Georgia, 87 years ago, but you would never surmise he had seen so many winters come and pass from looking at him. His face, of course, is wrinkled and he walks with crutches, but despite his age he is well preserved; he is active; and his mind is as clear as the air on a crisp winter’s morning. Never a term of court in Spalding but “Colo nel Thurman” is at the bar; some times he has a case to be tried and sometimes not, but he is always at one of the long tables within the bar reserved for the lawyers. When asked for his opinion on the present day divorce practice in our courts, he said: “I have obtained hun dreds of divorces during my years as an attorney, but not a single one was necessary. All were caused by just some foolish little quarrel. Divorces are seldom necessary.” “Colonel Thurman” was one of the best criminal lawyers this state has ever had. Justice Simmons, of the state supreme court, once said that T. W. Thurman had reversed more criminal cases than any other lawyer in the state. He had a keen insight into human native. He would study the witness on the stand until he had found a method to draw from him the facts as he wished to present them to the jury. He would make a number of foolish motions which the judge would promptly overrule. Then, quickly, he would make a motion of merit, which would also be overruled. Then, if his client was convicted, he had his grounds for reversal. And so Georgia’s oldest practicing attorney lives quietly in his home at Griffin, eighty-seven years old and sitxy-five years before the bar. While he no longer maintains an office, he will gladly represent you if the “reve nues” nab you, or he will obtain a divorce for you if you and “the wife” can’t agree, although he does not be lieve divorces are necessary.
