Let us all pull together and make a court-house that will be an honor to our county. Dr. M. C. McClain of Long Swamp was moving around on the Streets of Jasper last Monday. H. M. Paris, formerly of this county but now of Bartow, has been visiting his old stamping ground. Col. F. C. Tate has been quite sick for the past week, but is out again now looking a little“worse for wear.” The “beautiful snow” has failed to materialize up to date. Some¬ thing must be wrong with the al¬ manac makers. Jasper will soon have a court¬ house in keeping with her position, which is three laps ahead of her sister counties. Misses Emma and Lizzie Mc- Han visited relatives at Cartecay in Gilmer county, last Saturday. They returned home Tuesday. The new court-house must be good enough to be a credit to Jas¬ per when she gets to be a city, which time is not far distant. Sping poetry will soon begin to sprout. It will be published in the Herald at from 65 cts, to $>1 per line, according to the grade. Don’t all come at once. His Honor, Mayor Grant, has been in “hollerin’ distance” of the river Styx lately, but has decided to stay and help hold the town down until he receives a more ur¬ gent call. Mr. Hardy Rhyne has rented a house in town for his father’s fam¬ ily, including himself. He and his father will soon open up a black¬ smith and wood shop at Wm.King’s old stand. Walter S. Coleman, the clever, young editor of the Ellijay Courier was in Jasper Monday and Tues¬ day and while in town he gave our sanctum a call. We regretted that he was compelled to make his visit so short. Col. S. A. Darnell visited Fan- nin county last week on legal busi- ness. He represents several min¬ ing companies, and is at present making arrangements to re-organize some corporations that have been inoperative ever since the war.

The building will have an area ot 64x84 feet, will be two stories high, built of select orick, with stone foundation, marble door and window sills. On the front is a il eavy portico, in center from which we enter the central corri- dor extending through the build- ing with wide, easy stairway at one end leading to second story, On the first floor will be a large office for the Ordinary with fire-proof Record room adjoining. Also one the same size with fire-proof Rec¬ ords, for the Superior Court Clerk, and three large offices for the oth¬ er county officers. On the second floor is the Superior Court room, 45x56 feet in the clear and 2t feet high in the center, and will have a large Grand Jury rbom and two other Jury rooms, and Judge and Solicitor, all joining the Court Room. While the buildup is not so large as some of the new Court Houses in the State, Mr. Bruce says it will be fitted with all the modern conveniences required for the business of the county. The plans were furnished by Messrs. Bruce & Morgan, Archi¬ tects of Atlanta, whose experience in Court House work will be a guarantee that we will have, such a building as will be the pride of the cou nty, plain and substantial, with¬ out any unnecessary extravagance in its finish or detail. 1 Correspondence. Ludville. The rains have ceased at last and fair weather and sunshine have made their appearance.. We are glad to see the sunshine; it makes us feel better. There is still a great deal of sickness in our community. Mr. B. T. Gravley (better known as “Uncle Booker,” ) died at his home Sunday morning about 8 o’clock. He was about seventy-two years of age, ; had been living at the home where he died for nearly forty years. He was a strict member of the Christian church and will be greatlj missed by his church and the community generally. He was the most faithful man the writer ever knew to visit the sick and ad¬ minister to their comfort. He an aged wife and a large family of children who have the sympathy of the entire community. Mr. North Bailey, one of our oldest and best citizens, is very low with fever and is not expected to live. Dr. Hightower, of Fairmount, Ga., was in our village this week on business. The organ for our Sunday School is expected to be here by next Sunday. Miss Tolbert from near Adairs- ville, Ga,, is visiting her uncle, Mr. O H. Tolbert, at this place. Mr. John Chastain of Talking Rock, paid us a visit this week. Some of our girl friends receive the most of hit) attention. John has scores of friends here, espe¬ cially among the fair sex. Ron Roy. ySr-' - __ ■ The Courthouse committee,com¬ posed of five of the best citizens ot the county, after several meetings gt which nothing of importance was ddfie, have at last agreed upon a plafi tor the new Courthouse. It is to be flu? finest building of the kind in this up country, and work will be commenced promptly as soorl as the necessary arr angements can be completed, Pickens ctuuv- D compelled to have a Court- hoVl se at onUe ohd While We afe at R ds build h good (Me, shell as Will be art honor to the county, Thrf people are ft) be cMttgrahilatcd *>« securing a committee which appreciate* the work assigned to thc-ffl. VVs slMll ertriuavor to keep posted fts the work progresses, hnd shall Urge the Co- Relation of eVeity citizen of the Education. Every child in the United States should be taught to read anc j write, if nothing more, at the public expense. Education should be universal. Self reliance, self respect, independence of thought and action should be taught in ev¬ cr y school. Without these all peo- both in individual and collcct- j ve character, must deteriorate, The national government should come to the rescue of the people by the speedy enactment of laws for the encouragement of educa¬ tion in all the States. This can be done by giving to the States, upon the basis of illiteracy, as shown by the census, appropria¬ tions from the Treasury for that purpose. There is now a large and yet constantly growing surplus. The Internal Revenue laws, with their “domiciliary vexation,” and •“inquisitive and peremptory spir¬ it,” are rigidly enforced. Large sums of money are taken from the people to pay the taxes demanded by these excise laws, hnd yet the conntry is in a state of profound peace, and the war, making such laws necessary, is, with many men now voters, a mere tradition. Let us have the surplus distributed , among the States; the system of Internal taxation abolished; pro¬ tection for the products of Ameri¬ can industry and labor; universal education of the masses, and the country will be happy. D. At a meeting of the stockholders Fighting Town Mining Company, Fannin county, Ga., held at Jasper, Ga., on Saturday, the 28th inst., a majority of the stock was repre¬ sented, and the company was re¬ organized by the selection of a board of five directors, as follows: Geo.

READ 1119 COMMENTS. [From Atf.imn Constitution.] A kind lady ha« sent me a book of 350 pages called “Millennial Dawn,” published by the Tower Publishing Co., in Pittsburg, I’a., which will, I believe, awaken the think ing world. I see that its sale is already over twenty-live thousand. It is impossible and to read this book without loving the writer pondering Ids wonderful solution ol the great mysteries that have troubled us all our lives. There is hardly a family to be found that hn» not lost some loved one who died outside the church—outside the plan of salvation and if Calvinism be true outside of all hope and in side of eternal torment ami d.-spalr. Vv* smother our leelings and turn away horn the horrible picture. We dare uoi deny the iaith of our fathers, and yet can it be |xns 1.1c that the good mother anil her wandering elnld and forever separated—forever aim never? teachings I believe it is the rigidity of UicSe that makes atheists and iulidcjs and skeptics—• makes Christians unhappy and brings their gray ham, down in sorrow to the grave—* lost child, a lost soul I Let us see how many lost souls. The geog¬ raphers give the world a present population ol fourteen hundred million, of whom only one hundred and sixteen million are Christians,—- that is, who live in Christian countries. Of these, only sixteen million are adult members of the church ; and of these, about one million walk not after the flesh but idler lhe-spinl. That is a beautiful picture. — Only one million of truly good, pious Cbr ttian people-in all th* world, and lliirieen hundred and ninety nine millions who are elected to be eternally damned, Add to these tigurcs one hundred and forty-two billions, who have already lived and died in the ages past, and if all these are damned, it does look like God’s plan of salva’ tion was a miserable lailure. He gets one sou) for gloiy while Satan captures thousands. This wonderful book teaches thaltiial is dead ye* to come—that all are to rise from the when Christ comes, that He will after His sab vation to all people ( not only to the living, but to those who rise from the dead. Hi* kingdom will be supported by the saints and oy good people eveiy where, and the mother will have another chance to reclaim h?V wan ■ debug child and bring him unto the kingdom- This wonderful book makes no assertions that are not well sustained by the Scriptures. It is built up stone by stone, and upon every itonc is tlie text, and it becomes a pyramid of is God’s nothing love, and the mercy, Bible that and. the wisdom, uuthor denied l’herd } in or doubts, but there are many texts that h* throws a flood of light upon that seems to tin- cover its dark and gloomy meaning. I se* that editors of leading jourhals, and man)? orthodox ministers ol dlfierebt denominations, have indorsed it ar>d have confessed to thill •tew and comforting light that lias dawned upon tho interpretation of God’s book. The!) let every man read and ponder and take conb fort, for we are all prisoners of hope. This is in age of advanced thought and ttiof* thinking is done than Ever before,—tnen dart) to think now; Light-*-— more light, is th«* Watchword.
