■“No man can deny that both Sena¬
tor Rivers and Governor Hadman
3re able men. I have known Gov¬
ernor Hardman for a long time,
and would not disparage his merits.
But I not say what he said about
Senator Rivers here today. I do
not know wlieftVer Senator Rivers
say (that about him. These two
candiduter are both brethern of the
same church, and ought not to talk
that wny aoout each other, 1 have
been reading a great deal lately
and I do not get his opponent’s
message just like Dr. Hardman
said it.” -i I-

ence to Senator Rivers being a
poor man, Judge Adamson said,

don’t think that lie ougli to be
made fun of about it.”

remarks about Senator Rivers’ age

thing Senator Rivers should not be

getitng old as fast as lie can.
When David slew Goliath lie was
young.”
Judge Adamson touch upon va¬
rious state «#wrs i#his talk) and
commended the position of Senator
Rivers in the feinous “senate bloc”

of the best preachers the Cleve¬

The heaviest ruin of the season
fell here Sunday night. The little
were higher than they had
been in twenty years. This storm
accompanied by ;t great electric dis
play, some wind and heavy thun¬
der.
We are now keeping batchlor’s
hall being chief cook anb bottle
washer. We are too busy during
the day and sleep too sound at
night to get lonesome. We have
been thinking of inviting “Uucle
Joe” Bird to live with us for he
says he is ahappy and contented
man, and that is the kind we want
tor the diseu.e is contagious. He
lias two bulls and we have two
“gianny” mules and if he shuffles
of this mortal coil first we might
naturally come into possession ol
all lliis, Tlie adults are busy chas¬
ing the eagle on the almighty doll¬
ar and the youth are trying to have
a big time regardless of the cost,
but how many are happy?
Jim Davidson is now the
happiest man on this side of the
Atlantic, lie whistles all day loiq
and hits muff led the sound ol the
mocking birds, the lowing of the
cows aud the croking of the frogs,
lie can’t be still for he is now
jumping 15 rail fences and if the
stork had brought him a boy lie
would have jumped the court house
and Masonic h ill and its name
would have been Ilerqert Hoover.
The end of making new counties
in Georgia seems to be at an end.
It would be a good idea to combine
two or three counties into one
which would be a great saving to
the tax payers and nebody would
be at a loss but office holders, ft
this oounty is ever combined any
other county, Habersham would be
the logical cuuiity. Small counties
might have been necessary when
there was no means of fast travel
and when the roads were bad, bui
we are now traveling fast and the
olid is not yet m sight.
We understand that the North
Georgia Electric & Power Go.,

will soon be ready to turn the

land will come next. Also uiform
that temporary arrangements huve
