In tin ir general presentments re

juror* say:
“In taking leave we desire to re
turn our thanks to Ins honor, Judge
Geo. F. Goher, for his fair and im
partial administration of law and the
manner in wtiich he dispatches the
business of the court, thereby saving
the tax payers of our county a < m
siderahle expense iu pressing the
business and preventing long terras
of oouit. Owing to the fact that our
country has grown and is now grow
ing in population and the business
interest**looking up tlu-re is necess
arily an increase iu the litigation of
our country and we want a man like
Judge Gober, full o' energy and of
ability who is” aide and willing to
discharge the importaut. duties of
judge m a fearless snd conscientious
way without regrad to the cutting of
popular opinion, and to our- Solicitor
General, Thomas Hutcherson, who so
faithfully represents the interest of
the State, we feel grateful. He liasa
manne> pleasing to all and we know
of no one who will give as universal
satisfaction to our mountain people, as
our present able and obligeii-g Solici
tor, and in view of these facts we
most cheerfully commend to the peo
ple of our circuit in the ensueing
election Ins honor, Geo. F. Gober,
for *udge and Thomas Hutcherson
Solicitor-Genera we 'siqgarcly
believe that the e ounttfcs of
.. .. <
circuit ought and will cooperate with
us in the selection of these officers.”
Quite a sensation was created m
and near Woodstock last week when
it was learned that Miss Mary Rusk
iiad b*gan suit against Mr. Walter
Benson for breach of marriage coti
tract. Mr Benson’s wife died a few
months ago, and it seems that soon
therafter he begun to wait upon A. i s
Rusk, who is a member of one of the
tiist families of Cheerokee county.
She now alleges that lie deceived
her, and will ask the courts to give
her damages. Able lawyers have
been employed on both sides, and
the progress of the suit will be
watched with great interest.—Alpha
retta Free Press.
Judge Gobu. s cluige to the Grand
Jury concerning tile condition of
county road- will result in much
good to our county, that is if the
overseers will comply with instruct
ions. The establishment of good
sign boards at road forks and junct
ions wil 1 be cf great value tc the
traveling public. It any comity in
Georgji ne#it improved roads Gilmer
does. Nothing is more annoying
to traveling public than rough and
dangerous roads, or, to enquire of
everybody roads to different desti
nations. We feel sure that Gi.ruer
county will soon learn to act in be
haif of her interest rather than talk
it, as heretofore.—Ellijay T imes.
An exchange says the reason a
locomotive is called “she” is be
cause they wear a jacket, an apron,
shoes, hose- and drag a train be
hind them; they have a lap,
tjeed guides, ride wheels, will not
turn out for pedistiains, and
sometimes foam ami refuse to
work: they” attract men, are some
times very contrary and it always
takes a man to manage them.

Charles Broadway Rouse, ou* of
New York’s Merchant princes.
writes as follows in the New York
/% heartily endorse '___
World which we
and commend:
The Confederate General Forrest
was one of the greatest calvary
officers of his time. Tn battle he
was almost invariably successful.
One day Gtn. Robert E. Lee said
to Forrest:” ‘.‘Forrest, what is the
secret of your success, anyway?”
(4 i Well,’ replied Forrest, ‘you
see, Lee, 1 always make it a bus
iness to get there Ui’st.’ ”
“And in Gen.Forrest's reply
lies the secret of success in every
walk of life. It is not sufficent to
get there, but we must got there
first.
“What is true of succes* in war
is true in politics, in the arts, in
science in society, in business.
The young or the old man, for
that matter, who understand the
art of getting there fu’st will be
the winner. The sermon I have
preached for years, one which ap
plies to all trades and profesions T
to all occupations, is:
✓
1 ( Arm yourself with a
integrity; let loose the heaven
born gif is of genius and ambition,
and a resolution that courts but
never counts tlie heaviest odds;
begin on the basis of cash, even
you have 10 start with a tack lyuij-.
TilerUiAist, uifawarek it Will Pm
A v ‘ f
coint* a triphammer, doubling and
trebling every year with t he relent
less energy of a circular saw.
Then success will come—not all
bright sunshine, but here* and
there deep, black shadows that
will search you to the heart,
agonies that, will drive the blade
through the quick into the marrow
up to the hilt; but pluck and
patience and moral courage will
always win, and the sun will shine
again and final triumph— Alloyed,
it may be, with bitter dregs—will
come solid, decisive and enduring.
“Keep good company or none.
Neever be idle. If your hands
cannot be fully employed, attend
to the cultivation of your mind .
Always speak the truth. Make
few' promises.
“Live up to your engagements.
Keep your secrets, if you have any.
“When you speak to a person
look him in the face. Good cen
pany aryl good conversation iire
the very sinews of virtue. Good
character j* above all things else.
Your character cannot be essent
ially injured except by your own
arts. If any one speak evil of you
let yourjj life be so that none will
believe him.
“Drink no kinds of intoxicating
li plot's. Ever live (misfortune
excepted) within your income.
“When you retire think over
what 3'ou have been doing during
the day.
“Never play at a game of
chance. Avoid temptation,
through the fear that ypu may
not withstand it. Earn money
before you spend it. Never run
into debt unless }’du see a way
out of it again. Never borrow if
you can possibly avoid it. Do
not marry until you are aide to
support a wife.
“Never speak evil of any one,
Bo jus ' -lure, you are genorus.
“Keep, yourself innocent, if
you ■ ild be happy. Save when
doung, to spend when you

There nr* times when a mule

this out.

The thing for Atlanta, Phila

Admiral to visit their cities, to do

The pension agency at Knox

the name of the widow of one sol
dier ofdhfi Revolution, and while
there are no names of soldier*
who served in war of 18J2 there
are names of tho widow* of more
than four hundred of them.
The burning of the bride’s play
things ii l!n< part of the wedding
cermony in Japan. The bride
lights a torch, which she hands to
the bridegroom, who with it lights
a fire in which the toys are des
troyed. If this was the custom
in America, how many young men
would Iju burned alive at some
girl*’ wedding? J
We frequently see some of the
editors of Georgia advising the
farmers what to do through their
nowspepers which is more for a
show and to fill up than for any
thing else. We don’t do this way.
It is too much like certain men
do while in Atlanta—eat and
sleep at some wagon yard and
and then go and stand in and
about the Kimball House picking
their teeth. Advice to a farmer
by one wl.urlcnow* nothing about
it is not worth sm old chew of
home made tobacco.—Dahlonegn
Nugget.
As the years draw to a close it
looks as if nature pours out her
love upon this old earth in re
doubled force. It seems a* if sho
cannot do enough to prove her
devotion before its twelve month’*
life is ended. Jack Frost woes
the woods with a kirs that makes
the leaves blush crimson and yel
low and purple. Bright berries
invite the birds to a feast, and
the mils tell of bountiful stories
for the squirrels. Every flower
dons its most gaudy coloring. "The
mountains are tinted with a deep
er hue. The farmer reaps the re
ward of his labors, and gathers
his stores in to his bars. Noth
ing but man who is touched with
sin is out of harmony”.—Ex.
Organization Pci fat t ed.
On last Saturday the dricetors
of the Missing Link Railroad met
here and perfected their organization.
W. L. Albright, of Blue Ridge, but
frotneriy of Ohio, was elected Bros*
ident, and I)r. Vauix Gibbs, of Moun
tain Scene, Ga., formerly of Chatta
nooga, fa Tenn., was elected Secratnry 1
and Treasurer. Three milbon dollars
had been previously, subscribed,
which amount is sufticent to complete
the road.^ Active work is being done
now to make the survey amUsecr re
the right of way through the ooutry
where it is to be run. The citizens
in the Georgia counties through
winch this road to rut, have pledged
themselves to cooperate with the
directors in seem ing the righ of away.
No proposed road in the South
bas the advantage of Haitie this road
will have when completed, being a
direct line from Chattanooga, Term.
Walbia S. G. crossing the A. K. it
N. at Blue Ridge and connecting
with the Southern at Walhalla.
The line will be over one imnbred
miles shorter than the present lines.
A glance at the map will show I ha
all the coal from East Tennessee
mines shipped to points east of
Walhalla will pass over this line.
Besides the mineral and timber re
sources of this section there is urilirn
i ed copper, iron, talc, coruudrums,
aslwsto, gold and many other preci
oc« metals. Nine tenths of this vast
section" abounds in Us virgin forest,
consisting of popui r, white oak, aslie
and many other valuable growths.
Then there are thousands of acres
of valuable pasture lands with sites
for vineyards, orchids, truck gardens,
etc.,.that only need the magic fund
ot capital to develop. A lailroad
brings progress in every avocation.
It is the medium of commerce of
every civilized nation; with it 'goes
capital, and when the whistle of the
iron hors8 is heard echoing through
the countit s of Union, Towns . and
Rabun then tho hidden treasures of
natur will l>e unearthed and a thous
and spindles will be put in motion
where now only beast of the forest
roams or where the hunter in
his quest for game happens to pass.

“Through Gates of Flame,” by.

tile Atlanta Constitution’s new
serial story.
A Costly Paper.
Did you ever hear tell of the man
who was 'oo econmic.il to take his
home paper, Iml sent His little boy to
borrow the copy taken by a noigbo’?
inquires the Osborn fanner. In his
baste the boy ran over a two-dollar
stand of bees and in ten seconds
looked like a warty summer squash.
11 is cries reached the father, who ran
to his rescue and failing to notice a
barbed wire fence, ran into that,
breaking the fence down, cut
ting a handful of fish bait out of bis
anatomy and ruining a four-dollar
pair of pants. The old cow took
advantage of the gap in the fence,
got in, ate foity cents’ worth of aB
faif.i and died of bloat. - Hearing
the racket the wife ran out, upset a
four-gallon churn qf cream into a
banket of kittens and drowned the
whole mess. In the burry she drop
ped and broke a seven-dollar set of
false teeth. Tho baby left alone,
crawled through the flood of cream
and into the parlor, ruining a brand
now carpet. During the excitement
the oldest daughter ran away a book
agent.the dog broke up eleven setting
hens and the calves got out and
chewed the sleeves from four fine
shirts which hung on the line.—Ex.
