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, Star Jewelry Co., 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 county. 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. Dawsonviile Dots. Ed. Herald: If you will allow me space in valuable paper I will give you a few dots from Dawsonviile. We had quite a stdrm on the night of the 20th inst Several houses were unroofed and a lot of fencing blown down. G. R. Rob¬ inson lost a considerable amount of fqdder. Health in and around town is very good, with few exceptions. J. S. Taylor, our Ordinary, has been very sick but he is now get¬ ting out again. (We are sorry to learn that Judge Taylor has died since the above was vVritteri.—Fid.) Mr. Walter Richardson returned last week from Callahan, Fla., where he has been teaching ry and Writing schools. Walter a good one and we are all glad to see him af home. Hymen L. Richardson was rru: ried last Wednesday evening 1 Miss Minnie Smith, of Gainesville, Ga., daughter of H. It.

READ HIS COMMENTS. [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 ?
