Hey! for Brand.
The unanimous endorsement by
the papers all over the Western
circuit for Hon. Chas. Brand for
solicitor to succeed himself, should
be most gratifying to the honored
gentleman, who so q netly, yet so
firmly endeared himself to the
people all over his territory.
The following papers contained
strong endorsements last week for
Mr. Brand:
Banks County Journal, Harmo
ny Grove Citizen, Jackson Herald,
Oconee Enterprise, Lawrenceville
News-Herald, Jackson Economist
and the Winder Democrat.
With such influence as all these
good journals are capable of weild
ing, together with the support of
friends and admirers of Mr. Brand,
who know the real worth and
power of their faithful officer, he
should have no fear or suspense
on his brain when he goes to his
pillow at night.
The'people arejsimply united iu
the opinion that Mr. Brand should
have the office for a second term,
and the Democrat firmly predicts
his re-election. —Winder Demo
crat.
The Bog Law-
Judge Estes ÜBes some strong
language in favor of thfe dog law
in his charge to the grand jury of
Hall county,
He called attention to the dog
law which was recently passed by
the legislature and made the law
of the state to tax male dogs over
4 months old $1 and every female
dog $1,1)0. This law will become
effective in a county after it has
been recommended by the grand
jury of that county. He said
that other counties where courts
had already been held bad made
it the law of their counties, and
all counties should follow their
example. Ho said that a man
who would keep a worthless dog
ought to pay tax on it, or a ladv
who would keep a pet dog to kiss,
instead of kissing a man, should
also pay $1 for such luxuries—for
a dog was a dog, whether a pet
dog or a coon dog. He referred
to the manner in which sheep
raising had been abandoned in
this state on account of worthless
dogs, and the wool industry should
be fostered to the extent that this
law contemplated.

Another Candidate.
Mr. Editor : After a long spell
of three to five hundred tons pres
sure from my friends (which, by
the way, are too numerous to men
tion) and my own desire te wear
my hat iD the court house during
the hours of business, I have yield
ed to the inevitable, and take this
method of announcing myself a
candidate for sheriff before my
friends have it done for me. This
fetch-taked office has been chasing
me around for quite a while try
ing to get me to aceept him, but
I have resisted the temptation
until now, for the reason that I
was unable to determine whether
Mr, Office actually wanted to mix
up me, or whether he was seeking
to escape the onslaught of the
Capital City Regimeut, Just as
soon as I was convinced that the
latter motive was prompting the
action of Mr. Office, my heart
warmed up towards him, and I
agreed to serve him, just as you,
Mr. Editor, or any oue else would
have done, who carries a bosom
charitably inclined.
I am heartily sorry for the other
candidates, and I guess you are,
too, as they could hardly expect
to get many votes with me iu the
field, and I warn them in advance
not to blame me, for nothing but
the piteous cries of Mr. Office for
protection would have induced me
to allow the use of my name.

POSSUM CORNER.
Please listen to what our teach
er says about Garner school, after
reading “Educational,” by Mies
Myra West, in the last issue of
the News-Herald. The patrons
of Garner school certainly assist
their teacher in every way possi
ble. I believe that no small
school in the county can show a
better average, it is the largest
small school I ever taught Al
though the children are small
they are always at their post, un
less prevented by sickness. Their
parents not only see that they at
tend regularly but see that they
are on time; During dark, rainy
days, if a stranger should pass my
school they would think there was
going to be a celebration or some
such gathering, for they would see
fathers with two horse wagons,
carts and buggies, unloading chil
dren at the school house door.
They come rain or shine, and
when their teacher sees fit for
pupils to have new books you
never hear grumbling and growl
ing, but the books are bought as
soon as possible, and last but not
least when pay day comes and the
account is presented not one is
heard to say, “I am not able, the
account is too large, and I think
the county should pay it all,” but
their teacher is paid without a

The heavy rains have kept the
farmers from making any prepar
ations for another crop. Cutting
cord wood and hunting is the or
der of the day.
Pink Phillips has bought a grist
mill and is ready to furnish his
friends and neighbors with meal.
A mill has been very much need
ed since the old one was burned
some time ago. We wish Mr.
Phillips all success with his new
mill.
Miss Mattie Garner, who has
been visiting frisuds and relatives
here for several weeks, returned
home Sunday. All enjoyed Miss
Mattie’s visit and hope she will
honor us again with her presence
in the near future.
We are sorry to learn that the
son of James New is very sick.
We hope for him a speedy recov

CITY SCHOOL DOTS.
Our school opened Jan. Bth with
a large attendance. Since that
time many new names have been
added to our roll. Everybody
seems to be enthusiastic over this
work. There has not, within the
history of our school, been a time
when so much interest has been
manifested in Bchool work as there
now is.—On Jan. 12th. three lit
erary societies, one in each depart
ment, were organized. It is the
purpose of these societies to devote
one hour every Friday afternoon
to elocutionary and literary exer
cises. Every fourth Friday these
societies meet in the auditorium
to give a public recital. It is the
desire of the teachers to have the
friends of the school meet with
them each fourth Friday afternoon.
Your presence will greatly eucour
aga both the teachers and pupils
in their work, and we hope to be
able to entertaiu you for an hour.
—A new feature of our school is
the musical and elocutionary de
partment which is ably presided
over by Miss Lucile Lallatte, of
Atlanta. She began Monday with
a class of seventeen pupils, and
the prospeots for many new ones
are bright. We are sure that we
should feel especially grateful for
having secured the services of so
excellent a lady. We are glad
that this department has been
addded to our schcol. Many told
Prof. Ware that it was not possible
to establish it in the school, but
he is not the man to allow small
things to turn him from what he
is for the good of the school. —Dr.
Warlick pastor of the Meth
odist church, was with us Monday
morning and made us an excellent
talk. We hope to have the other
ministers of the city to visit our
morning exercises,
