LOCAL NEWS.
It is our intention to add new
improvements to I he Herald
just as fast as we are able to do so.
We started up under very discour-
aging circumstances, but have
been constantly gaining ground ev-
er since. We earnestly ask the co
operation of every man in the
county to help us build up a paper
second to none in North- Georgia.
We can do this if the people will
stand up to us, as it is their duty
to do. We want every man in the
county who is not already a sub¬
scriber to The Herald to sub-
scribe at once, A good many
have expressed their intention of
taking the paper, but we want you
to act at once, We need all the
money we can get, and we promise
you will get many times the worth
of your dollar during the year.
Don’t delay any longer in this mat¬
ter, but come right up and give us
your name and pay your dollar;
you will be helping us a great deal,
and you will feel better for it.
Let all our correspondents come
to the front again. We must give
the news of every community.
The Macon Telegraph is becom¬
ing more popular every day. It is
now one of the best papers in the
South.
If you want to see the town im-
proved then work for our school,
your home paper and the new
courthouse.
The Signal man always downed
the Dawsonville News, but the
Advertiser knocked him cut of
time in the first round.
The Telegraph and Constitu¬
tion are whaling each other in live¬
ly style. May it be a fair fight
and the best man win.
In looking over this issue be
sure to notice A. W. Davis new
departure on the editorial page.
He offers some good bargains.
We want some corrospondence
from every pOst-offiee in the coun-
ty each week, Let some one from
each place write up their section.
Prof. L. B. Miltican is giving
entire satisfaction. He has been
tried by one or two of the school
boys., and found to be there every
time.
The Millennial Dawn is a most
wonderful book. We would like
fo, every mar, Woman and child to
read it. See our offer under “Bill
Arp’s 11 Joy,---'
We are heartily in favor of build¬
ing a good courthouse, rumor to
the contrary, notwithstanding, but
there is nothing for vis to do until
the work has been commenced.
On Wednesday,the 1st inst Mrs.
James Rich, living a few miles
south of Jasper gave byth toi three
little Riches, a!l girls, lu mmt
to try to get ahead of old Pickens.
Last Tuesday the mail Was
about two hours later than Usual at
this place, the delay being caused
by an accident to the engine of
the mail train while near Wood-
stock.
As aft educator l’rof. Millican has
no superior, and while he is pleas¬
ing the people let the people please
him. Then all things will work
in harmony for the moral training
of our young people.
The Dawson County Advertiser
hits the Dahlonega Signal “straight
from the shoulder, We are in
clined to think the Advertiser takes
the better position on the tariff and
internal fevenvte questions.

Why is it ffiat- softie little boys

Softie litfiv boys, by a strange rule

good advice, and especially that of
their school teacher, jasper has

We cannot understand What
gave rise to the rumor that we
were going to fight the attempt to
build a new court house for the
county. We have always express¬
ed ourselves as favorable to the en¬
terprise when the subject was
mentioned. The reason we have
said no more on the subject was
because nothing had been done by
those who had the matter in hand.
It takes time to put such an enter-
prise into operation, and we were
only waiting for a move to be
made. Our people all know that
the county is compelled to have a
new court house, and they should
all be willing to have one built
that will last and be an ornament
to the town and a credit to the
county.
A large number of people living
in Lower Georgia and Florida
have been making inquiries as to
the number of visitors Jasper can
accommodate next summer. These
people want to get away from the
hot weather, the malaria and tjie
tormenting insects of that section
during will the summer somewhere. months, Jasper anjl

has the most beautiful scenery, thje
healthiest climate and best water
of any town in the State, and will
draw plenty of visitors evWy sum¬
mer if she will only invite them.
Let us go to work and advertise
the advantages of this section and
Jasper will double her population
within a few months.

hundred Scotch stonecutters quit
work at Stdtte Mountain yesterday.
They were in the employment of
Venable Brothers & Foster, who

of the strike is that thirty negfoes

to take Up work in the quarries at

do, sayiftg that if they could not

Ninety years ago a tariff tax of
8 per cent, was thought sufficient

dustries; hut now that these same
infants are a century old, they are
not satisfied with an average tax of
40 per cent, paid for their protec¬
tion.—Macon Telegraph.
Gov. Seay, of Alabama, is in re¬
ceipt of a letter from Dr. l’.S. Kid-
deree, a prominent citizen of Da¬
kota, in which he states that the
terrible loss of life to both man and
beast in consequence of the recent
blizzard has determined many Da¬
kota farmers to seek southern
homes. In one section forty farm¬
ers have indicated their purpose to
go South.
A holly In.ttgli, with clinging snow,
.Stands out against the sky,
Where frosted leaves, in fairy sheaves,
And wilitry shadows lie;
No songsters 011 the leafless frees,
To fill with melody the breeze.
The berries red, above ottr bead,
Dance in the frosty light,
And gleaming fair, in clusters rare,
Peep from the leaves so bright;
The pure snow glistens on the ground.
And ice-clad are the streams around.
TTifo’tliickenilig snow the firelight's glow
Makes ruddy sill the room.
And children dear, with happy cheer,
Dispel the winter’s gloom;
Their youthful faces, blithe and gay,
Watch every shadow as they play.

HE WAS RELIGIOUS.
A soldier named Bill Lee was
taken before the mayor for playing
cards during divine services, The
seargent commanded the soldiers
at the church, and when the par¬
son read the prayers those who
had a bible took it out; but this
soldier had neither Bible nor com¬
mon prayer book, but pulling out
a pack of cards spread them before
him. He looked first at one card
and then at another, The ser-
geant of the company saw him and
said:
‘Bill, put up those cards, this is
no place for them.’
‘Never mind that,’ said Bill.
When the services were over,
the constable took Bill a prisoner
and carried him before the mayor.
‘Well,’ said the mayor, ‘what
have you been brought here for?’
‘For playing cards in church.’
‘Well, what have you to say for
yourself?’ sir, I hope.’

Then spreading the cards before
the mayor, he began with the reminds ace:

I see the deuce it reminds me of

(From Atlahta Constitution,]
A kind lady has sent me a book of
pages salted “Millennial Dawn," published
by the Tower Publishing Go., in Pittsburg,
Pa., which will, 1 believe, awaken the think¬
ing world. I see that its sale is already over
twenty-live thousand. It is the impossible and td
read this book without lovihg writer
pondering his wonderful Solution of the great
mysteries that have troubled us all Our lives.
There is hardly a family to be found that has
hot lost some loved one who died outside thd
ehurch—outside the plan of salvation and if
Calvinism be true outside of all hope and in¬
side of eternal torment and despair. Wd
smother our feelings and turn away from this
horrible picture. We dare nut deny the faith
of our fathers, and yet can it be possible that
the good mother and her wandering child arts
forever separated—forever and lorevsr?
1 believe it is the rigidity of these teaching*
that makes atheists and intidels and skeptics—
makes Christians unhappy anil brings their
