Dahlonega Signal: The mining interest in
this county is unabating, and az 10 time
within the last few years have the mills been
doing any better than thew are. The yields
from all quarters whore the mines are being
operated on economic principles are very
encouraging. The mills controlled and OPP
Grated by the Hand & Barlow Company are
all running on full time, and each one of
them show activity aud business thrift.
Renewed efforts seem TO Undue mining OPP
erations, and 1892 will develop many new
mining industrial pursuits and Investments.
The grave OF Gen. William Mcintosh
Kell in Carroll county is unmarked by even
a stone. The father Of Gen. Mcintosh was
a British officer, and his mother was full
blooded Indian squaw. II has been near
seventy years since Mcintosh coded the
Indian lands to the whites, and reserved for
himself a square mile lying on each side Of
tho Chattahoochee. He received a cousid-
cradle sum Of money from the government,
and much time has been foolishly spent by
persons digging for it. Zach Williamson,
who is a citizen Of Carroll, claims 10 be the
first white child born in the county. He
was born in an Indian wigwam on the re-
serve.

Athens Banner: few days since a
young man came in the city and. walking
into store on Broad street. said he was
just down from jackson county. He said
he was out of work and wanted a Job of
some kind whereby he might make an hon
est living. A gentleman in the store in a
ocular manner, said: Just go out to that
crossing and wait until the first street car
comes along, hop on and ask for a job and
you'll get one" The young fellow took the
advice in earnest and walked out In the
middle Of the street and waited for the
coming of the car. 1t came along and he
boarded it In search of job. The gentle
man in the store laughed at what be
thought was good joke, but he found out
differently when on the next trip the car

Athens Bonner: One more old white
citizen passed away Thursday night. His
name was John Simpson, and he was a
lowly pauper The SHOWS of old age had
whitened his locks, and the terrors Of dis
ease had brought him to the grave. He
lived near the colored cemetery In East
Athens and was watched over by negro
named Bob Goodall Now there is q
pretty story connected with this
negro mans attendance upon old
man Simpson. 1t carries a lesson
with 1t. For several years this negro
Woodall has been caring for old man Simp-
son just as If he had been his nearest friend
There was no special reason for this interest
except that feeling which one man should
| have toward another. He has waited on the
old man for years, fed him. and taken care
OF him in the best way he could, and never
called for assistance from any one until the
| other day when he asked little help from
the city, which was promptly given.
