For the year ending May 221,
1888, Postmaster Hollis issued 564
money orders and registered 280
letters. Supposing that the orders
and letters averaged $lO each—a.
reasonable supposition—the amount
sent from Summerville in this way
for the year was $8,440.

people tell the price. Result: quick
sales, crowded store and customers
happy. Hollis <fe Hinton.

in last Saturday and renewed his
subscription. He say.'- the farmers ;
in his neighborhood are doing well
and are right up with their crops,

We recommend that the council
remove the boxing around the well
in front of the Knox House and in
close the same with a ten-foot rail
fence. This would be a better in
closure than the present one.
The contract for building the

Two men by the name of Dewberry
.•mil Brueo had a difficulty near Mostel-;
1 w’s while returning home from town ,
T icsilay. Dewberry threw a pistol at

Hollis & Hinton.
Rome, after bragging for three
or four week about the good effects
of prohibition, has now awakened
to the fact that men still drink in
prohibition cities. Rome is learn
ing what the balance of the world
already knows.
Mr. Roberts, who has had charge
of the construction of the railroad
bridge at Trion, began last Friday
the construction of the trestling
across the Henry branch, two miles
above town. It will take him ten
days to finish.
We learn that Dr. J. W. Clements
of Subligna has been making sev
eral trips to Athens, Tenn., lately.
The impression made by the “Maid
of Athens” appears, like the chan
nels of streams, to deepen with
time. Well, “It was ever thus.”
Twelve miles of track of the C.
R. & C. railroad have been laid
j from Rome toward Summerville. If
| the track, as has been anticipated,
lis completed to Trion by next Sat
urnav, there will remain only 25
miles between Rome and Chattan-
I Ooga to finish.
I Rev. T. IL Timmons will preach
i a sermon on the subject of Sunday
schools nt this place next Sunday
|at 11 o’clock, a. m. All, and es
pecially the young, are urged to
j attend. He will preach at Raccoon
at 4 o’clock, p. m., and at this place
again in the evening.
Editor Loomis says he appreci- '
ates the visits of the ladies; cs-I
' pecially those whom he knows do
) not come with the intention of
■ availing themselves of leap years
privileges. Well a day. We
' thought the reverse of this was
true in the case of Editor Loomis.
, The following arc some of the
- ) aged citizens of Chattooga county:
> James Harlow, 87; Wesley Sliop
s shire, Sr., 87; E. O. Alexander, 8S ;
i. J. B. Quails, 85; Elijah Mathis, 85 : ,
; O. F. Perry, 82; James Herndon,
• 80. There are probably others over
I 80, but we do not know of them. ;
Sheriff Worsham is smiling over
anew arrival.
It is said a mad dog was killed in town
Wednesday. The dog probiibly had the
toothache, and acted curious, and thus
lost his life.
The house of Rev. Alfred Ma
ples, in Dry Valley, caught fire last
week, but was extinguished before
much damage was done.
Della Maxey, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Jos. Maxey, who has been
very sick with typhoid fever, is no
better, we are sorry to say.
On the amended plea of Dr. Jones for
damages for right of way, Judge Fain at
Cartersville fixed the bond at $250 pend
ing the final settlement of the case.
Alf 'Woodruff and George Stew
art, both colored and both charged
with murder, broke out of Centre,
Ala., jail last Saturday, and have
not been recaptured.
A man by the name of Dugger,
who lias been selling liquor in Cold
water, is liable to get into the)
courts. It appears he has license
to sell by the gallon, but has moved
from pla.ee to place several times,
and this, some claim, is a violation
of the law.
Tire claim of Dr. R. I). Jones for
damages sustained by the railroad
being built through his land adjoin
ing town was not allowed by Judge
Fain, before whom it was heard at;
Calhoun last week, holding that the
doctor had signed a paper giving:
right of way. The plea was amend- i
ed ami will be tried again.
The cemetery ought to lie seen
after. It is overgrown with briars
ami bu-'hes, and is a disgrace to the j
1 town. Any one would judge, after
seeing it, that the living have for
gotten the dead, and are too stingy
to spend a little money in having
work done, that only common de
cency demands.
Sheriff Foster, of Walker county,
came down last Saturday, his bus
iness being to convey George Bogan I
who is charged with assaul twith at-1
tempt to murder in Walker county j
and whom Deputy Sheriff Knox |
arrested and lodged in jail last!
week, to 'Walker county jail. 80-1
gan failed to make the necessary!
bond.
The claim of At Kirby for dam-I
I ages caused by tile railroad running
i through his land adjoining town, j
was heard by Judge Maddox last
week. Judge Maddox required I
S3OO to be paid into court, pend- )
i ing the final settlement of tl<e case,;
j and this had to be done in order to
allow the work on the road to pro
ceed.
W. I’. Foster, of Foster’s Store,
writes: “Here lam again. Bring
out your big eggs. Mr. W. H.
i Dempsey brought to my store this
: morning a hen egg that measured
I 6 inches around and 7J inches long.
This egg was laid by the regulation
old yellow leg. It is powerful rough
on a hen to lay these kind of eggs
at 7.1 cents a dozen.”
The work on the railroad is pro
gressing favorably. In two weeks'
all the grading and trestling be
tween Rome and Chattanooga will
be ready for the ties. There are
yet about twenty-six miles of track
to lay. The track will be laid to I
Summerville in twenty days, at far
thest, from this date : then our poo-1
pie, who have waited a long time;
fora railroad, can all take a ride. )
Dr. Pifer, the travelling physician
left town the first of the week, car
rying with him as the result of two
weeks’ practice a sum estimated at
from SSOO to SI,OOO cash. This il
lustrates how easily sick people can
bo taken advantage of by plausable
strangers. The doctors who live
here are in every way worthy of con
fidence and are, so far as can be
known, as skillful as Dr. Pifer; yet
no one of them ever made SSOO in |
two weeks.
The mail between this place and )
Centre, Ala., sometimes gets there I
and sometimes it does not. We I
frequently get the Centre papers a
week old—sometimes not at all.;
Once for all, we again state we are ;
careful to mail the News to all |
our subscribers every week on I
Thursday, and there our part ends.
We have no means to secure their
delivery. While, like every body,
; we occasionally make mistakes, yet,
I with the care we exercise, we know
■ they arc few and far between.
Rev. D. T. Espy, who has the
Icontract for furnishing cross ties
I for the railroad between Trion and
Foster’s bridge, has gotten out 13,-
) 668 to date. The distance from |
Trion to Foster's bridge is 13 miles;
and it will take 35,100 lies. Mr. |
Espy thinks he will be able to fur
nish enough to tie the road suffi
cient to lay the track by the time
the ties are needed. We learn ties
i bring about twenty-four cents each,'
I and this would make those Mr. Es-
Ipv has already gotten out .worth
| $3,280.32.
Thomas 'Wade, one of the mail
carriers between Trion and Rome,
was arrested in the latter place last
Friday, charged with violating the
prohibition law. It seems that Mr.
Wade has been receiving money in
Rome and then buying whisky in
Summerville and delivering it to
parties there. In other words, cit
izens of Rome sent by him for
whisky, which he bought here and
delivered to them.
Uniform kindness and politeness
will win every time. We have
thought of it often and wondered
why it was, but until we made it
our business to see for ourselves
we were in the dark. We have
reference to J. W. Pitts, the leader
of low prices, short profits and
quick sales. Mr. Pitts treats every
one politely, sells them his goods
at close figures, has a kind word
and a smile for all, and when you
I patronize him once you will do so
again. He buys and receives fresh
goods every week and you will find
something new every time you go.
Mr. R. C. Stotts, of Haywood,
was in town last week, seeing, what
encouragement he could secure in
building a planing mill and handle
factory. The success he met with
was of a nature to justify him in
’ making the statement to us that be
thought there was no doubt that
the mill and factory will be built,
lit will take $2,5000 to build a first
class planing mill and handle facto
ry. Both can be operated by the
same engine, and in this way the
I cost is greatly lessened. The site
for the mill and factory will be
donated by Messrs. Henry, Taylor
and Henley, who own eighty acres
just east of town. It is to be hoped
that the people will take hold of
this enterprise in such away as to
preclude its failure.
Monday last the citizens of Suin
) merville met at the court house to
; take action toward building a brick
I college building. The meeting was
j well attended. The formation of a
I joint stock company was decided
: upon as tiie. best way to compass
the end in view. It was decided to
j issue 500 shares at $lO each, those I
subscribing to have stock to the
1 amount which they subscribe.
Thirteen hundred dollars was sub
scribed before the meeting ad
journed, which together with the)
I SI,OOO to be collected on the in-j
| surancc policy, makes $2,300 in
' sight and leaves $2,700 yet to bo
raised. There is little doubt lint )
that the amount necessary will be |
secured, and that Summerville will |
have, not a High School, but a
College.
Notice to Teachers.
The s tate School Commissioner
has appointed the 29th, 30th and ;
31st days of May for the examina
tion of applicants for license to
teach. All persons desiring to make
application will please meet me at
the court house in Summerville on
one of the above named days. No
other opportunities forexamination
will be given this year. May 10th.

DOTS FROM DIRT TOWN.
i Rain, rain. We are having too
) much rain at present. Farmers
| greatly fear the damp, weather will
! ruin the wheat.
J. B. Carver and son, of Rome,
came out fishing last week.
Wesley Shropshire, Jr., of Sum
merville, was in our valley last
week on professional business. Mr.

A Point for Good Citizens.
The above is a caption of a short
editorial in Sunday’s Tribune. We
copy part of the article and make
comments that we hope will be con
sidered by our people at Summer
ville.
“The Tribune takes it for grant
ed that every citizen of Rome wish
es to see Rome prosper, and would
prefer living in an enterprising,
wide-awake community to the ex
istence of Sleepy Hollow.”
Now we take it for granted that
every citizen of Summerville feels
the same interest in our town, that
the people of Rome do in their
prosperity. The crisis is now upon
us. Now is the time for the people
of Summerville to work together.
Wo must have a School building—
we must have a good one.
It will take money to build it.
It is an investment that will pay.
The future prosperity of the town
depends on what we do now. No
citizen can afford to stand oif and
not come up liberally in this matter.
The Tribune further says: “If
we are to go ahead from this time
forth and prosper, as we hope to
do, we have not only to work for it
but we have also to pay for it, often
perhaps at the cost of personal j
secrilice. “Booms” to drop into
popular parlance do not come unin- j
vitcd; they are the result of intel
ligent application of means to an j
end, and while some drones may be I
willing to sit supinely by in the (
hope of reaping the profit of other
men's efforts, they will ultimately
be relegated to the rear, where j
they belong.
Eras of great public prosperity,
and the steady accumulation of
wealth surely follow the putting j
forth of energy in the right di rec-;
tion. and the intelligent, discrimi
nating expenditure of large sums j
of money. The money must inevi
table come from the pockets of the !
people no matter what agencies in - -
terpose to make the people think it'
may be raised without their direct
aid ; and the man who deceives him-1
self into the thought that others j
can do the work and pay the bill,
. I
while be selfishly looks after his;
own personal interests, will surely I
'be called upon in the end to pay j
■ his share in a decrease of his busi- .
I ness and profit.”
I Now if the above views arc true I
lof Rome they will be true of our,
j town.
Not to build a good school build
ing will be suicide to every busi-I
ness interest in Summerville.
Now let' every man come up like !
a man and with hearty energy do
i all we can ami we will have a
building that will be an honor to
our town and attrack others to come
among us to educate their children
and thus build up the town.
Every one knows that the build
ing of the house that was burned ■
was the means of bringing great I
prosperity. Il is more important
nowjustatthe completion of the
railroad. The building of a $5,000
( School building will show that we
have public enterprise and mean to j
I keep up with the demands upon us,!
and will be an inducement to oth
] ere to invest in property here and
thus build up the town. I). T. E.
ALLIANCE.
I am glad to see the interest
I manifested by some of Chattooga’s
J citizens in calling the people to
gether in the interest of the Alli
. I ance. Hope each district in the
J county will realize the importance
; of the meeting the 2nd Saturday in
I.Tune ret apart by committee of
farmers. Will say to committee of
farmers, that there is no lodge of
t.i; ■ Alliance in Dirtto.vn as 1 have
heard of, but the first and only one
in the county is in Haywood. We
have one lodge known as farmers’
, club in Haywood and also one at
. Subligna, the intention of which is
the same as the Alliance, only they
are a local organization and have
no state and national channel of
1 trade. I hope they will consider
this matter and be one with us on
the 2nd Saturday in June, for a
house divided against itself cannot
stand. This organisation started
’ in the state of Texas, and then to
Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida,
North Caroling, and finally into
■ i Georgia, and today there are be
; I tween 250 and 300 lodges in the
I [ state. I have written for an organ-
I izer to meet with you the 2nd Sat
>' unlay in June, and I hope a goodly
; number will turn out and have an
■ interesting meeting of farmers.
i ! After there are five lodges organ
j ized in the county then by a dele-
> ■ gation from said lodges we can es
' sablish a county Alliance which
t ! tets us in a full channel of trade
I with state and national lodge, etc.
■ Initiation fee fifty cents.

IMMIGRATION.
Editor News:—“Digs” article
on Southern immigration in last
week’s News gives material for
thought and reflection. While he
is correct as to the advantages de
rived by speculators and merchants
here by an exodus of Northern
farmer- South, yet I don’t think
they alone are benefited by such a
move, but that the agricultural
class also may derive considerable
benefit by their removal to this
country. Though like him, I
claimed some time since in an arti
cle in the News that what we most
needed was capital to develop our
untold mineral resources; also va
rious kinds of manufacturingenter
prises and machinists—mechanics,
cotton operatives, etc., such then
would give us a market not for
the already impoverishing article |
both to the farmers land and pocket
book, (cotton) but bread stuffs,
products of truck patches, dairying,
hay, poultry raising, etc. In short,
diversified farming would then pay
here. At present we have no market
much for any products raised ex
cept cotton, consequently it is ruin |
to a most ruinous extent. Not
withstanding we mostly need the;
above named class of people yet
]we cordially invite the thrifty!
i Northern farmer among us, for in
I his coming will be an inducement!
j for the other class to also come.
! Then, too,the Southern move will!
Ibe the means of increasing real
estate in value. But “Dig” might
claim that a farmer who doesn't
■ wish to sell and move away that
J such an increase in real estate
s would place no money in our pock
- ets only necessitate us to pay more
tax which would be true in this
respect, yet I claim there is not a
farmer in this country but who
! might cut their farms into half or
three parts or even four and still
! make as much upon cither fraction
as they do at present upon the
whole. Here then is where the real
profit exists in agriculture. Then
I with the effects derived from sell
ing off this surplus we would be
I enabled to pay out of debt and with
! the residue be able to make a
I change in our farming, build more
I comfortable barns for housing our
stock in winter, more sightly resi-
I dences, and in general beautify our
? homes, imbueing our housewives
i with new energy and enterprise, and
| give to us a new impetus over our
! present somewhat sluggish gait
and style of farming. The French-
I man with his two acre farm or the
Northern farmer with his ten acres
! are accumulating something while
we with numberless acres of allu
vial soil are barely eking out an
existence. Yes, we need the capi
talist, manufacturer, etc., but we
too extend a hearty welcome to the
thriftv New Englander with his
| plow share and reap hook.

Chattooga Singing Choir.
Now is the time to improve the
culture of music. Music is one of
! the most cheering methods of di
i vine worship. Singing is one of the
attracting processes used to call
the attention of the weak and de
filed slnjier to divine worship. There
are go ■ I choir.-- in Chattooga, but
there is room for improvement. So
now let us go to work and bring
about our method of singing to the
entire public. Last summer there
was talk of a singing convention in
Chattooga, but one waited for an
other till the year rolled by, and
nothing done. Now let ns all go to
work in much faith, and make a
success of vocal music throughout
the county. Let every church and
class strive for the premium of hon
' or. There is more honor given tiie
community of a church for good
. singing than for its Gospel for this
■ reason: our pastor does not live in
our community every time or he
' moves ('lf and leaves us. So let us
have the honor or credit that we
can keep at home. Let all start at
once and all pull together, and we
' will have a Chattooga Singing Con-
• vention somewhere in thecountyon
i ! the 21st, 22.1 and 23d days of Au
i gust, 1888. Consisting of its neces-
J sayy officers, anti committee of ar-
I ■ rangements. The convention claims
> j two Union Singings and one meet
, I ing a year. The union sinkings and
> convention also, will be calk'd for,
- neither will they sponge on any
> community unwanted. If more than
• one call the committee will decide.
The first union singing at Ami
■ church, Chattooga county, Ga., ia
i eluding two days : the second Sun
day in June, and Saturday before.
- The whole county is invited.
- ; Bring all the books you have. There
- ■ will be plenty of dinner and ho’ -se
i * feed on the ground for foreigners.
The second union is not yet loci .ted
. j but will bo near Poplar Spring
i church. The convention is not lo
i cated but will be somewhere, near
| the middle of the county. J.H. C.

I am forced to write to you again
this week about the News being
delayed in reaching this office. The
subscribers are in the gall of bit
terness, and this makes twice being
delayed. There is a screw loose
some where. Please find out which
route your post master sends the
package of the News for this office.
We have been receiving the News
regularly except now, and your
subscribers have all got the blues
about not getting the paper on Sat
urday. This office is only 15 miles
from your office, on the Summer
ville and Centre route. Your cor
respondent went out to church at
Mill Creek last Saturday and Sun
day to hear Rev. Mr. Harnett, of
or near Centre. He preached two
of the ablest sermons I ever heard,
lie is a good man and we all love
him. May he come often and preach
for us. Long may he live and pros
per and turn the sinners to God.
May the Lord bless him.
One of our candidates for tax
collector, Mr. Win. F. Blackburn,
j another good man, has been around
ito see us. Let the people vote for
i him. They never will regret it.
! He will make the best officer Chero
