A larg.- number of the very best - men in Chattooga county have ex pressed their approval of what the ' News said last week in regard to Gov. Gordon’s action in respiting Pope for the third time. It was rough, but the extraordinary cir cumstances of the case,and the in terests involved, justified it. Mr. W. F. Tapp extends the right hand of fellowship to the News for the way it defends its county from unjimt aspersions and condemning Gov. Gordon for grant ing Pope so many respites.

She will probably spend i some time here again during the ! summer. Meantime one young man I looks woe-begone. Uniform kindness and politeness I will win every time. We have i ! thought of it often and wondered why it was, hut until we made it our business to see for ourselves we were in the dark. We have i reference to J. W. Pitts, the leader of low prices, short profits and 'quick sales. Mr. Pitts treats every . one politely, sell■; ihem his goods I at elos ■ figures, has a kind won! ! land a smile lor all, and when you' ! ini'ronize him . you will do sol ueain. lie buys and r-Neives fresh ■ | go-els every week ami you will find ■ something new every time you go.

Stotts, and that all will help for- ; ward this proposed enterprise. It istiieonly way in the world to : i build up a town. I HAYWOOD. I must apologize for not sending in the news of this community for the last two months. Reason for the same has been on account of my absence from home. I received the News each week with great satisfaction, and am much pleased with the success it is meeting with. I am also glad to see the citizens of the different communities sending in their items of public interest to the News and heartily wish I was as able a writer as some of them have proved to be.
