TOCCOA, HABERSHAM COUNTY, GA„ FRIDAY, AUGUST 28 , 1896.
Notice.
Hereafter the Times-News will
be run on a money-making plan.
We will give our readers all they
pay for, but will not run a large
paper where the people do not care
for it. Hereafter the paper will be
enlarged as the occasion and busi¬
ness demands. If the business jus¬
tifies, we will enlarge again to S
columns. On our press we can
print a 5 column, 6 column, 7 col¬
umn or an 8 column paper, so that
we will never be lacking of space
to accommodate our advertisers,
both local and foreign. The trou-
ble is, we have more space to let
than anything else. Henceforth we
to change this.
Tom Watson has a new book in
press which promises to awaken
still further interest in the peculiar
bent of his genius, says the Boston
Herald. The volume covers a wide
field of research and considers the
merits and demerits of about all the
noted persons of ancient and mod¬
ern times. It roasts Julius Cassar
and denounces that distinguished
Roman gentleman as one of the
boldest money sharks who ever
plundered a temple or sold a nation
under^ the hammer. Speaking ol
the Emperor Nero, Mr. Watson
observes•
“Nero seemed to care little for
the accusation that he had killed his
mother, but the indictment that he
was a sorry fiddler broke him all
up. He called a great meeting of
people in Rome, made them a
speech, denied that he was a sorry
fiddler and played a tune or two to
prove that lie could tickle the cat-
w’th skill and ability,”
The colloquial style of the above
Sample extract is something unique
in our literature, and stamps Wat-
son as a great slinger of English.
The Philadelphia Record says :
“Vice Presidential Candidate
Wat™ drops into medical parlance
to remark that ‘Sewall is the sooth-
s ) ,r "r f the campaign for the
monopolists, and he is relied upon
U
proclivities.’ Dr. Wat*©# evident-
ly thinks the case critical enough to
call for more heroic treatment, and
he has accordingly written this pre*
scription : ‘Let Mr. Arthur Sewall
d >£.££*.
Solidify the West and South. In
no other way Can the free silver foes
be whipped.’ But Doctor Sewall
probabl y thinks otherwise,”

That ball game at Poplar Grove,
Ark., must have been one of the
hottest on record. When the um-
pire gave a clo«e decision in the
third inning the Poplar Grove men
rushed on him in a body. He was
prepared, for he whipped open a
bag and disclosed a lot of pistols,
Then the shooting began on both
sides, and when it was over six men
were found to be injured, three of
them fatally. The game was for
sum of money and this was carried
off by the stakeholder during
excitement. The spectators missed
most of the ball game, but it can
hardly be said they did not get their
money’s worth,—Columbus Em

Arthur Sewall, in his speech
acceptance of the nomination for
Vice President by the Democratic
party in Chicago a few weeks ago,
s * id in York last week : “Un-
equivocally . and through sincere
convictions, I endorse the platform
on which I have been nominated.
belleve we are • The peopie
are Wlth us ’ and what the people
declare is always right and must
"T-l I accept the nomination,
and with the people s confirmation,
every effort of which God shall ren-
der me capable shall be rendered in
support of the principles involved.”
Would it not be a good idea to
form a Democratic club in Toccoa?
We ought to do all we can for
Bryan and Sewall and Hon. A G,
McCurry. By the asking we can
get Hon. A. G. McCurry, Gov.
Atkinson, Steve Clay, Chairman of
the State Executive Committee and
Ex-Speaker We would Cirsp to deem speak in Toc¬
coa. it wise
should Col. J. B. Jones, Executive
committeeman from this district,
call a meeting to form a club.
We are glad to know that
Hoke Smith had the nerve to resign
his position in the cabinet of
President Cleveland. Mr. Smith
shows his loyalty to his State and
people by sticking to the democrat¬
ic party. It is a great pity that big
blockhead Herbert, of Alabama,
Secretary of the Navy, had not as
much sense and stamina as Smith
and would stick to his people, the
democrats of Alabama.
We would like to run a large
paper in Toccoa but cannot do it
at a continual loss. 'Che merch-
ants here, with few exceptions, do
no t patronize the paper, and hence-
forth, Toccoa will, like othef
towns of no importance, be repre-
sented by a paper fully as large as
the town’s progressive spirit,
When a business man advertises
in your home paper you can be as¬
sured of two facts : that merchant
wants your trade and also wants
his town advertised to the outside
world as not being dead—everlast*
ingly dead from dry rot,
Toccoa will not support a paper
larger than the present size of the
Times-News. In fact, no one who
has run a paper here in the past
20 years ever made a living out of
It,
Like the majority of Toccoans,
The Times-News is now out for

long enough for one poor fellow,

Business at the Times-News of¬
fice is done for cash. Pai'ties hav¬
ing business with this paper or job
office will please bear this in mind.
The weather continues very hot
and dry in this section. The far¬
mers say their cotton crop is Cut
off fully one half.

of a newspaper published - at Tah¬

Col. Jim Robertson, of Haber¬
sham, has his hands full addressing

The Times-News is smali in size,
but large in usefulness and full of
local news.
Sent to Jail
Last week Ed Hughes was ar¬
rested and tried before Judge Cook
on two charges : one for riot and
another for larceny. Mrs. Brooks
claimed that Hughes stole a watch
from her house, and the charge of
riot was made against him on ac-
coont of going to the residence of
Mr. Andy Moore, some months
ago and shooting, swearing and
threatening the life of Austell
Moore, son of Andy Moore, with
whom a man by the name of Doo-
ley, Hughes’ friend and chum had
previously had a fight. Hughes
and Dooley skipped the country,
but Hughes returned and tried to
settle the matter, but was arrested
and tried and in default of $100
bond was sent to jail to await the
action of the Superior Court,
A Valuable Prescription.
Editor Morrison of Worthing-
ton, Ind., “Sun,” writes: “You
have a valuable prescription in
Electric Bitters, and I can cheer-
fully recommend it for Constipa*
tion and Sick Headache and as a gen-
eral system tonic it has no equal.”
Mrs. Annie Stehle, 2625 Cottage
Grove Ave., Chicago, was all run
down, could not eat nor digest
food, had a backache which never
left her and felt tired and weary,
but six bottles of Electric Bitters
restored her health and renewed
her strength. Price 5 q cents and

Report on Temperance.
From Fiber tort Star.
It has been assumed that it is a
work of supererogation to recom¬
mend temperance or prohibition ab¬
solute and unconditional to Meth-
odist preachers and laymen. We
do not propose to discuss the pfo-
position, or give an expression as
to the correctness of this assump-
tiort, but in view of the fact that
those engaged in the liquor trufiic
have already been intensely aggres*
sive, and front present indications
are making a determined effort to
fasten this accursed business Upon
us for all time to come and to deleat
any effort being made by the friends
of prohibition to suppress it, and
we feel it the duty of every church
and individual and good cltieen to
wage Uncompromising, remorseless
War Upon the whiskey of traffic, this
infernal agency the devil, this
advance guard of hell, occupying
ground in the realm of oiif King,
and we do not hesitate to give ex-
pression to the conviction that selfish, its
tolerance is largely due to
time serving, weak kneed members
of the church, and this toleration is
a disgrace to our civilization and a
reflection upon the church.
We, therefore, call upon every
preacher and layman who loves God
and mankind, to rally as never be¬
fore around the prohibition stand¬
ard, believing that every man that
does nor do his utmost to banish
from the land this destructive traffic
is a foe to God, to the clUirCh, to
himself and to his fellow mart, and
whereas the friends of prohibition
throughout the State are making a
combined effort to have enacted by
the next shall General Assembly a law
Which close the bai rooms of
the State:
Resolved, That while we do not
favor the manufacture or sale of li¬
quor in dny shape, manrter, style or
form, we pledge Elbertoli ourselves as mem¬
bers of the District Con¬
ference to work, to vote, to pray
for any measure that will bring re¬
lief to our friends who have fasten-

the anti-barroom bill may not be
all we would ask, yet its enact-
ment will be a long stride in the
right direction, and we will give
it our most hearty support.

Toccoa’s First Bale.
Last Saturday John Vandiver
brought to town aud sold the first
bale of cotton for the middling year 1896. and
The cotton graded
brought 7! cents, and weighed 403
pounds;
The cotton buyers here are afraid
of the market, it fluctuated the past
week as much as one-half cent a
at close of market. The market
dropped off 30 points Monday
morning froin the close of Saturday
night.
The hot, dry weather tids put a
bad appearance on things in this
section. Even if silver should win,
without an extra session of congress,
no change would be made in the
affairs of the country till next
December, one year. Those who
are in debt will do well to pay out
and those who are out of debt, buy
only what they can pay for. Trade
is dull and people are careful to
stay near the shore until the finan-
cial crisis is in some way, broken
—and it may take a long time to
break it.
My little boy, when two years of
age, was taken very ill with bloody
flux. I was advised to Use Cham-
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhcea Remedy, and luckily procured
part of a bottle. I carefully read
the directions and gave it accord-
ingly. He was very low, but slow-
ly and surely he began to improve,
gradually recovered, and is now feel as
stout and strong as ever. I
sure it saved his life. I never can
praise the Remedy half its worth,
I am sorry every one in the world
does not know how good it is, as I
do.—Mrs. Lina S. Hinton, Gra-

A High Ideal.

a valuable suggestion where he

“Happy is the town or country

* n g week by week for everything
that is pure and good for the com*
munity, not trading on the people’s
littleness and Vulgarities, but lift*
ing the people Constantly to higher
planes of culture and ambition. If
a good local newspaper could take
the place of each inadequate, poor
one throughout the country, I can
think of nothing that could do more
for the revival elevation of public spirit and
and the of common life*
There are few opportunities Which
should beckon more commandingly
to high-minded and well-trained
yoiittg men and women. And as
concerns the existing country news*
papers which often fail so lament*
ably to realize the true ideal of a
country newspaper, the various in¬
tellectual men of the smaller com-
munities*“-the lawyer, the schodl-
m aster, the minister, the librarian,
the naturalist, the college student--
should take to heart that by their
Mfld. and simple co-operation* aco-
operation that would almost always
be warmly welcomed and seldom
repelled, they could usually be
made ten times better and more in-
Auential than they are.”
Since 1878 there have been nine
epidemics of dysentery in different
parts of the country in which Cham-
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar-

feet success. Dysentery,whenepi-
demic, is almost as dangerous as
Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the
best efforts of the most skilled phy-
