The Cracker In New Zealand.
The Cracker this week received a
subscription for the paper from New
Zealand. Only a short time ago' we
told with what interest it was being
read in England. Now* comes a sub
scription from far away New Zealand
fob The Cracker, which is gradually
reaching* the “four Corners. of the
earth,” besides being ^Widely read at
home., In sending for the paper the
•subscriber says, after discussing New
Zealand and his success there, “give
me the “Land.Of the Free” over which
‘Old Glory* waves—’tis. the greatest
country on the globe.” . t
No Money for Teachers Yet.
Hall county teachers will not get
their pay for January until March 1st.
This will be a disappointment to them
for they had been told their pay would
be forthcoming monthly, but the
exchequer of the great state has been
drawn upon so heavily that there is
nothing; left but the bottom, and the
teachers will have to Wait until a little
more “sand” is caught.- The legisla-
lature enacted a law for the payment
of teachers monthly but here in the
very first month of the year it is im
possible to Carry it out because of lack
pf iiinds in the state treasury. It is
understood that an effort will b ( e made
to pay the salaries for the second
month on April 1st. In the meantime
the teachers will have to wait and find
out when their money will come—but
Commissioner Glenn states that they
will - receive their pay for January on
March 1st. without a doubt. County
School Commissioner Robertson will
notify the teachers when; their checks
are received.

Last Sunday and Monday were the
coldest days Gainesville ancf Northeast
Georgia have experienced in twelye
years. At 6 o’clock Monday morning
the thermometer registered seven
degrees below zero, and during the
day it did not go higher than ten de
grees above.
Previous to Saturday it had been
fearfully cold and disagreeable for
several days, but Saturday night it
commenced sleeting which was soon
followed by a steady fall of snow,
which lasted until Sunday afternoon.
By noon Sunday the snow fall had.
reached a depth of six inches. In the
mountains near Dahlonega it- was re
ported to have been about eight inches
deep. '
Many sleighs were brought out Sun
day morning and all during the day
and Monday this sport was enjoyed.
The cut-up condition of the streets
made sleighing very rough, however.
By 7 o’clock Sunday ‘ night the
thermometer had gone down to eight
degrees above zero, and by 6 o’clock
Monday morning the merdury bad
•dropped to seven degrees below. The

Sunday, though the wind, which blew
rather strong made it somewhat un-
tcomfortable, 1 ••}
As is usually the case in extreme
cold weather, most everybody was out
of coal and wood, and the demand
could not be supplied. The coal and
wood yards were run all day Sunday,
,£nd supplied fuel as fast as possible.
The coal men hired extra teams and
-delivered all the wood and coal they
•could,
The poor people suffered somewhat,
but every attention possible was given
those who were known to be in
distress. Water pipes froze and
hurst and plumbers were kept busy
•repairing them* All trains were de
layed and traffic was virtually stopped
for two or three days. Business was
at a standstill, and practically nothing
was done until Tuesday.
This cold spell was the severest that
this section has experienced since 1886.
In January of that year the thermom
eter went down to six degrees below
zero, and snow fell to the depth of
nineteen inches. Monday morning
the thermometers of; Dr. J. B. George
and Mr. Perino Boone, both of which
are absolutely reliable, registered seven
degrees below zero at 7 o’clock. The
oldest inhabitant does not remember
colder weather than that of this
week. ' ** . V ,• ; .V • . •
In middle and southern Georgia fruit
has been badly damaged, but it is not
believed that the trees had advanced
far enough in this section to be hurt.
It is estimated that the Georgia fruit
crop will be three-fourths short. In
Florida and other coast states .where
oranges are grown it is reported that
the trees have been badly hurt, and in
some instances killed. Throughout
the north, east and west great suffer
ing is reported from the severe cold,
the thermometer in some places
registering thirty degrees below zero.
The spell was so severe Gainesville
does not care to have another taste of
it again for several years to come.
You missed something good if you
did not get a sample of Dr. Tichenor’s
Antiseptic. : It is the biggest thing out
for cuts, burns and other injuries.

highly esteemed in society all over the

The Roads Are Bad.
The public roads of the county have
been in fearful condition for several
Weeks. The continual rain, followed
by the heavy snow of Sunday, has, made
them well nigh impassable. It will be
several weeks before they will be in
good shape, even with fair weather.
Back From Court. $
Judge Estes, Cols. W. F. Findley and
Hubert Estes and court stenographer
Swain returned Thursday night from
Dawson Superior court. They report
a busy term, but the people had a hard,
time getting to court the first of the
week. The grand jury found many
indictments and made many recom
mendations. An indictment was found
against a white man for voluntary
manslaughter. This, is an unusnal
indictment and we have never before
heard of one. Usually the indictment
in such cases is for murder, and when
the trial comes up the counsel for de
fense tries to bring it down to tfiis if
he cannot secure acquittal. Judge Es
tes made a very favorable impression
on the people of Dawson.
An alarm of fire was given Wednes
day night at 10,30 o’clock and the barn
of' Col. Howard Thompson was found
to be burning. The flames could not
be extinguished and' a surry and
harness were consumed with the build-
The loss amounts to about $350.
Tichenor’s Antiseptic preserves the
flesh, prevents inflammation or sup

colic, too, in man or beast. Pleasant

favorite remedy wherever known.
Don’t forget that druggists like to
sell it.
Dawson Superior Court.
Dawson Superior Court was held at
Dawsonville this week. Judge J. B.
Estes and a number of the members of
the local bar went over Sunday and
have been in attendance at court all
this week. They had to drive over in
the snow, and their trip was made
under difficulties. The people of Daw-
How to Look Good,
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of the yital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have a bilious
look; if your stomach is disordered, you
have a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys
are affected, you have a pinched look.
Secure good health and you will have
good looks. Klec\ric Bitters is a good
alterative and tonic. Acts directly on
the stomach, liver and kidneys, purifies
the blood, cures pimples, blotches and
boils, and gives a good complexion.
