Rain!
Mud and slush!
Did you ever see the like?
A laundry fias been started up
in Jasper.
Col. E. W. Coleman, of Ellijay,
is in Jasper.
Next Tuesday will be our regu¬
lar sale day.
To-day closes out the time for
receiving bids on the building of
the new Courthouse.
Next Sunday is Easter. Vis¬
ions of beautiful colored eggs flit
before our fancy.
Several of our young folks went
fishing last Saturday evening.
They caught some very “fine” fish
Hens make a great mistake in
laying so many eggs in the sum¬
mer when eggs are cheap and tak¬
ing a vacation when eggs are forty
cents a dozen.
Last Saturday Shelley Bros. &
Co., of Nelson, Ga„ bought of T.
G. Simmons of this place, 664
dozen eggs. This is a pretty fair
showing for Pickens county hens.
Capt. Alexander destroyed two
stills in the mountains east of Jas¬
per last Saturday. It Is not known
whose stills they were.
With uncovered head and hand
to our heart we acknowledge a vis¬
it from the whole force of jasper’s
young ladies one evening last
week. We are still alive, We think;
but the vision of so much lovliness
is enough to make one giddy for a
week. The Lord help us!
Some of our anxious friends have
been inquiring of us whefi our du¬
el with friend Coleman would take
place. We shall be compelled,
owing to the scarcity of pumpkins
at this season, to put it off till
next fall. We suppose that Bro.
Coleman will agree to this post¬
ponement.
W. C. Rochester & Co. paid our
office a visit a few days ago. Their
silver mine is located two miles
south of Jasper and is said to be
exceedingly rich. We saw some
of the ore, but not being a miner¬
alogist we could not judge of the
quality; though the gentlemen
are confident that it is the richest
vein in the South. Since the
storm last week the owners would
sell at a low figure as they want
to get out of Pickens before anoth¬
er storm blows up.
We will send one 18k Rolled
Gold Finish Ring to any person
who will send us 10 cent, Silver or
stamps. Address,

Dawsonviile, Ga.
We learn that Ex-Solicitor Greer
of Ellijay, has declared himself a
candidate for the State Senate
from this district in opposition ! o
Dr. Ed. Watkins. Cob Greer, like
Dr. Watkins, is a man of ability,
forcible in debate, and has
friends in the district who will
lyto his standard. Watkins and
Greer in the race insures a lively
campaign, Gentlemen, don’t be
bashful; put out your announce¬
ments and begin the music.—Blue
Ridge Post.
A PI.E3ANT SURPRISE,
On last Friday evening just as
the twilight was giving away to
more sombre shades, and the hap-
py moon was peeping over the
mountain tops, out little village
was ‘apprised by the clattering of
horses’ feet and the rattling of
buggy wheels On investigation
g proved to be a party of young
anf | gentlemen from Tate to
attend a surprise party at the
Pickett House. On arriving they
joip.ed by some ol Jasper ,
were S j
young paired people, to the ball and room the where party re- all j
joined in the merry dance fill far j
into the night. Altogethei it was
one of the most enjoyable enter¬
tainments of the season. The en¬
tire party expressed themselves as
being highly pleased and were pro¬
fuse in their thanks to Doctor and
Mrs. l'ickett for their courtesies
during the evening.
Correspondence.
Talking Rock.
It seems that spring has hardly
come yet. It is reported that the
present fruit crop was killed by the
recent cold spell.
Prof. C. B. Vincent is sowing a
good portion of his farm in clover
this season- We think it would
be profitable for our neighboring
farmers to do likewise.
Miss Sue Bryan spent a few
days at her old home, Talking
Rock Mills, last week.
The storm Tuesday night did
not do any damage here.
Prof. C. C. Haley talks of giv¬
ing an exhibition at the close of
his school. Success to him.
Rev. M. S. Williams preached
an excellent sermon at the Acade¬
my here last Sunday.
Mrs. W. J. Darnell spent last
week with her parents in Bartow

Mr. B. F. Warlick has moved
his saw mill about one mile south
east of town and expects to do a
great deal of Sawing.
Mrs. J, W. Platon is visiting
friends and relatives on Scared
Corn this week.
Mr. John Chastain is the youth
who lost the coffee (O, how he
grins!) and Mr. Lum Gartrell is
the fellow who lost the rabbits.
John is doing very well while Lum
is not. It is thought by some that
if Lum doesn’t get some rabbit
soon he will take the fever.
Thu rain fell very hard here last
Sunday night and the creeks are
booming It is feared that there
will he considerable damage to
fences, etc.
Can’t we find a man to make the
race for representative to make
things lively with Bro. Jones?
We suggest/the names of Prof. C.
B. Vincent or Z. C. Morrison.
Either of these gentlemen would
make a good member. Rob.

[From Atlanta Constitution.]
A kind lady has sent rae a book of 35 c*
pages called “Millennial Dawn," yublished
by the Tower Publishing Co.; in Pittsburg;
Pa., which will, I believe, awaken the think¬
ing world. I see that its sale is already over
twenty-five thousand. It is impossible td
retd this book without lovihg the writer the ana
pondering his wonderful solution of great
mysteries that have troubled us all our lives.
There is hardly a family to be foind that has
not lost some loved one who di*d outside the
church—outside the plan of vation and if
Calvinism be true outside of hope and in-
side of eternal torment and ; despair. We
smother our feelings and turn'away from the
horrible picture. We dare r Jt deny the frith
of oiir fathers, and yet can J be possible that
the good mother and her .andering child are
forever separated—forevei* n< 4 forever ?
