TnuaenAV Jan. 2G, 1899.
Death ci John W. Duckett.
On Tuesday morning we. were
shocked by tho announcement of
tho dooth of John W. Duckett, of
East Ellijay.
Mr. Duckett was stricken with
paralysis several months ago, the
final and fatal stroke occurring on
the night of tho 23d inst. He
breathed his last about half past
ten o’clock on tho forenoon of the
next day. He lias been a citizen
of Gi’mor county for many years
and numbered his friends by the
hundeeds in tins and Pickens coun¬
ties. He was a of the M.
lrcli, f aith
a public-spirited <^WP^fTnd had
great faith in the material resources
of this county, having spent much
of his time and means in their de¬
velopment.
An honest, sincere and faithful
friend has gono to his reward and
our hearts go out in sympathy for
the bereaved family, and especially
to the widow and. little ones at
home who needed his support and
care.
One by one the old landmarks
in the way of buildings sre giving
way to *moro modern structures.
_
and now it is rumored that the old
Mountaiuview Hc-tol is te be dis¬
placed by a commodious brick
structure to be used for a dry
goods store and other purposes.
This old building is a connecting
link between the past and the pres¬
ent, and is somewhat antique in
several respects, but in nothing sr>
much as its huge* stone chimney
with its capacious fireplaces. Down
in tho basement is tho old hotel
kitchen fireplne almost as largo
as a more modern hotel bedroom.
Gazing into its solemn depths and i
dark recesses tho mind goes Lack
to tho days when the fires roared
and the pot boiled to cook the
food for such men as Judge
Joseph E. Brown, Alexander II
Stevens, and others of great repu¬
tation, but, as the poet says, “Time
lias written change” on all. things
earthly, and tho old fireplace will
soon be gone, and all its memories,
unless, perchance, it may tie re
taliiv received some lasting im
pressions of <l< light or pain, joy or
giiM, happiness ot ionow by

Georgia „ ftrs. srs Cchre,
f T'at.mony _ ,. introduced . , , . before t tne ..
ccmmitice sIuovb that Georgia is
first in tho United Slates as an
ochre producing state. In this
product alone it is estimated thfle
aro millions of money to the laud
ownei s land and operators of the
ochre mines.
It was sworn before tho commit¬
tee that there are thirty minerals
in Georgia which have an economic
value,
Georgia ranks second aa a man¬
ganese producing state, and Geor¬
gia marble is recognized every¬
where h« the most superior marble
in tho United States. The enpitol
of the State of Rhode Island .is
built of Georgia marble ; so is tin
Corcoran Art Gallery in Washing¬
ton. the St- Luke’s Hospital in
New York, and the Century build¬
ing in St. Louis. There are sev¬
eral of tho largest buildings in tin
country which aro constructed
solely of Georgia marble.
Brimstone in Georgia.
The alarming discovery was made
yesterday before tho yomniittct
that brimstone had been found in
large quantities in Georgia.
While this Was news to the mem
[6 of the committ al^ Profess?
i knew of its existence, nna
has a quantity of it in the State
Museum.
The old saying, often spoken as
prophetic that ‘’Hell’s broke loose
in Georgia,” has been verified by
witnesses and the members of tlr
investigating committee are satis¬
fied of its truthfulness.
The committee will continue to
hold double daily sessions until a
report is formulated and handed
the governor.—Atlanta Journal of
Friday,
Yes of course, why not ?
The mines in Bartow County,
Georgia, said by Mr. Ackermann
to be better than the Cripple Cro-'k
Colorado mines are on the White
Path or mother lode, it and the
Ducktovvn. Rut this section is un¬
heeded only at tax-paying time.
But it “Hell’s broke loose in Geor¬
gia,” how is it tbis brimstone is
kept so secret ? Is it for private
speculation, or is it to corner
brimstone cm tire devil, or diu the
Doctor really intend to run a little
hell of his cwn for tho benefit of
tho tax-payers ? Would it not*"
better it the State wou.d run it it
‘-'°nneotioii with the Legislature
aiu ^ thereby save transportation in
dumping members in need of sul
phur treatment.

dictated by “Kernel Mulberry Sel¬

sociation :
Dear Jeans, nicknamed Uo.onel
Schlatter, tne healer,
On tho Wing:
You are a hard-hearted wretch
when you suppose Mister II. A.
didn’t treat you right. Have you
compared his treatment with that
of tho Knoxville press? Would
also suggest that you stop off and
seo^iit.C. as gnu come back. Agin,

the office to do the mechanical
work with.
We are happy to know that the
Georgia crackers aro perfact gen¬
tlemen, and we Hope when you .re¬
turn to your native heath you will
be the same, Col. Sellers doth
say that the only thing in the Klii
jay job that he admires in the hotel
board part, as he has no great love
for per contages and he has no ap¬
petite at this season for “marching
through Georgia.”
Again wo rejoice that you are
amongst honest^nen'and hope’yuu
vui prove an a^jt, scholar and im¬
prove in appearance and other¬
wise. Further, you should speak
gently of Brother II. A., for he
belongs to 14 different lodges—
everything except the Odd Fellow
—and has been known to weep be¬
cause there v.uz no more to join.
All of this and much oilier doth
Kernel Sellers say. H.,tbe proph¬
et of Ihe Chilhowie, do'th say
that he wil^borrow Col, Mulberry’s
private car for your trips to Knox

ato points” between there and up
the road.
You made a very deep, profound
and everlasting impression oh

here and Col. Sellers has been giv¬
ing a glowing account of your
prowess, etc., and hypmdistic
ity and reputation as a gin’ral

Expansion andtCevelcpment.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
The Conservative, an ably con¬
ducted political weekly, published
at Nebraska City, hoots at the id.-a
of expansion, and takes tho posi
tion that homo development should
be our policy.
there is nothing now in this
general statement but it may int- r
est many readers down this way to*
learn that this far-off newspaper
on the snowy plains of Nebraska,
finds in Georgia its best illustra¬
tion of the possibilities of material
development. Tho following brief
extract from a long article shows
that Too Conservative knows some¬
thing about the resources of this
region:

South is an olTsium almost unknown
to those outside of its own boftn la

farms and orchards to prove the

Me with the very best if the West.
Our Western contemporary then
takes up tho attractions and ad¬
vantages of our scenery and cli¬
mate and claims that they a- r< -' un¬
surpassed anywhere east of th
Rocky mountains. “We have em¬
pire enough hero at home,’’ says the
Nebraska editor m conclusion;
“why not develop it—why not be¬
gin with Georgia?”
It makes no difference wfodher
the Conserv Hive’s opposition to
expansion is popular or unpopular
with our readers. It is enough for
them to know that its talk about
Georgia is on the right line.
Let us have more talk about
home development. Exjiunsiou is
well enough at the right tine and
