We believe there are fewer sheriff’s
sales in Chattooga county than almost
any county in north Georgia, taking in
consideration the population and a
mount of business transacted. This
speaks well for the people of Chattooga,

least as good as their neighbors in the
surrounding counties.
A movement is on foot to call a
meeting of the owners of brown hem
atite iron ore mines in North Georgia,
to be held in Cartersville or Rome.

much benefit to this section of the
county. Such men as L. S. Munford,
C. M. Jones, and others of like promi
nence are at the head of the movement.

Coming up in the morning near Lav
ender a negro man was holding to the
hand rail and leaning out as far as be
could, when he.was struck and knock
ed off by a post and seriously if not fa
tally injured. This is the only casual
ity of the day, so far as known, for be
it said to their credit there were no
drunk men on board so far as could be
learned, and the conduct of the crowd
seemed to be much better than usual
on such occasions.
The W. C. T. U. held its regular
monthly meeting last Thursday at the
residence of Mrs. Street. Quite a large

little paper, “The White Ribbon,” con
ducted by Atlanta W. C. T. U. women
in the interest of the temperance work.
A committee was also appointed to ar
range a series of meetings for the girls
of the town. Similar meetings were
conducted iu the past and proved very
successful indeed, hence the effort to
renew them. They are conducted in
formally by the matrons and young wo
men. and are social in nature w: e
encouraging the girls to be interested
in the serious topics of life. Their ten
dency is in the right direction and the
promoters of the helpful little enten
prize should receive every encourage
ment.

Mr. M. S. Leigh of this place, in
forms the News that he has four un
cles and three aunts living, whose av
erage age is seventy-one years and
three months. There were only eight
of the family at first and it is rather a
remarkable instance of longevity that
seven out of eight children should live
to be so old.
Dr. James F. Harris died Monday
night, at his home in Dalton. The
doctor had been suffering for months
with consumption. His remains were
interred in the family burial ground,

will remove to his old home at Dalton
to regain his health. He has with
drawn from the Tom Delk case, and
he says as soon as he is through with
the Flanagan and McCullough cases
he will try no more criminal business.
It is hardly probable that either of
these will be tried before late in the
fall.
A few weeks ago a certain concern
;in Atlanta sent out an advertisement
, to most of the Georgia papers with in
structions to run one month at lowest
cash price, and asking that publishers
notify the firm of lowest possible rates
j for a year. The ad was inserted in a
number of papers and the publishers
made a very low price for a contin
uation of the ad. The firm wrote that
they could not pay the price asked,
but would agree to pay about one-half
less than the regular prices. Accord
ingly, the ad disappeared from most
of the country weeklies after one in
sertion. and now the editors are using
a large mouthed cut which seems to
