JUST TWO
Something About the Greatest Weekly
Newspaper in the Country.* ,
j-iie constitution will send a sample
copy of its great Weekly to any one
sending his own name and the names
of six neighbors, on a postal card.
Every man should take his county
newspaper before anything else, and
next to this he should take a good gen
eral newspaper, such as \he Constitu
tion. His county paper gives him the
local home news, which is not supplied
by a newspaper furnishing the general
news from all parts of the country and
from all over the world. Before a man
seeks information from outside, he
should first feel sure that he is being
kept posted oh what is going on at
home. That is why he should take his
county paper first. When, however,
the opportunity* is offered to get the
best weekly newspaper in this country
with your home paper, the inducement
is such as to elicit prompt response
from our readers.
We will be glad .to receive clubbing
subscriptions with this paper and the*
Constitution, and if there are any, who
are now subscribers to this paper, who
wish to take thfe Constitution also, we
will be glad to receive subscriptions to '
the latter and forward them, having
" ^thority from that paper to do so.
The Constitution should be in every
3*NsthiKn home!

i During the 'war with Spam, which
has just been brought to a close, the
reports of no newspaper in the south
could compare with its news presenta

and of the 120 correspondents who
went to Cuba, he was one of only seven
who remained to see the flag hoisted
over the public building in Santiago.
Its special representative also ac
companied the fleet in the Caribbean
sea, and its Washington special service;
covered every detail of the important
war reports originating at the capitol.

A MINERS UNION.
NORTHEAST GEORGIA MINERS
WANT PROTECTION.
Will Organize a Brotherhood Composed
iljZt of Miners Throughout the Southern iji
States. •, To Meet in Gaines-
ville at an Early Bate.
The gold miners of the south will
organize a miners’ union in Gainesville
at an early date. Several of the lead
ing miners of northeast Georgia are
interested in the matter, and will send
out letters to the miners of the southern
states requesting their’attendance at a
meeting to be held here at an early
date. ,
In the letter the following statement
is made showing the object of the
organization.
“"“Having fully recognized the fact
that the mining industries of this
whole country, the country at large
would be greatly benefitted by the
establishment of closer relationship be
tween onrselves, with the intention of
advancing the common good of all alike,
we, the undersigned, have decided and
do hereby propose to organize a
brotherhood, of miners for the above
purpose.
A date for the meetingprill be set in
a few days, and as the move has the
indorsement of the leading, miners of
this section, no doubt the. move will be
a success, and the miners will derive
much benefit from the organization.
Primarily, those who -are interested in
the matter want to keep out speculators
and boomers, aud to secure the proper
development of the mines of Georgia.
They believe speculators and boomers
do much to retard progress in the
mining industry of this section, and
they want deals in properties to be put
upon a legitimate basis, so that no one
who wants to invest will be misled or
deceived, but can rest assured that all
necessary facts will he put before
them. 7 ,
Much complaint has been made in
the southern mining belt for sevsral
years past of the imposition of alleged
millionaire speculators upon^ .property
holders who'have started booms which
have almost invariably resulted in
bursted baubles. Also, it is alleged
that holders of properties ha ye imposed
upon miners by misleading and mis
informing them. There is a desire to
break up all of this, and to get the
industry upon strictly a legitimate
plane. It is believed that the organiza
tion will accomplish what it is intended
fo«.
It was decided yesterday to hold the
meeting January 28th at the Arlington
Hotel.
There will be but two months of the
winter te*m of the county scfibols, Be
fore the legislature had cut i£he school
appropriation the board of ^education
of Hall county had fixed thife date for
the winter schools to begii| January (
1st. Accordingly they wer^opened at
that time, but instead of continuing
for the period formerly fixed they will
close about March 1st.’ Thill is done to
allow the state treasurer f$> catch up
with the expenditures and to pay
teachers monthly during the. next term,
as provided for by the legislature.
County School Commissioner Robert
son has not yet received the checks for
the last quarter of last year, but ex
pects them in a day or two. The
county teachers will receive their pay
for January on the first of next month.
Although the school term has been
shortened the payment of teachers
monthly will be more satisfactory- and
will save them much in the discounts
they have formerly paid.
The Sure La Gnppe Cure.
There is no use suffering from this
dreadful malady, if you will only get
the right remedy. You are having
pam all through your body, your liver
is .out of order, have no appetite, no
life or ambition, have a bad cold, in
fact are completely used up. Electric
Bitters is the only remedy that will
give-you prompt and ^slure relief. Th<

We call special attention to our club
bing arrangements with The Weekly
Constitution, published at Atlanta, Ga.
The clubbing price of the two papers
being only $1.50 per year, subscriptions
to be, sent through this office and the
terms to be cash. *
It is a fact perhaps not generally
known tliat the Weekly Constitution
has the largest circulation of any
newspaper on the western hemisphere.
Only a few months ago a large news
paper directory questioned the claim of
circulation -’made by the Constitution
and put up a forfeit of $100 that it
could be disproved that it had more
than. 100,000 circulation. The Consti
tution promptly accepted the offer and
submitted its books to the repre
sentative of the firm. . Mr. George P.
Rowell, publisher of the newspaper
directory, acknowledged his error
publicly and paid the forfeit.
The Constitution, while being a
democratic newspaper, is first aid
above all things a newspap; It is a
twelverpage seven-column weekly mak
ing * eighty-four columns each week.
Its subscription price is $1 a year, but
if taken- under the a*rangement with
this paper we can give them botn at.
