of $4,000 subscribed. The directors chosen

dent; n. +. Pratt, treasurer; j. f. Moore,
secretary. The directors are authorized to
contract with Dahlonega Construction
Company, and viii do this as soon as sub
Scorpions and rights of way are secured.
Permanent location will be decided upon
in week or ten days. Delegates from Bel
ton were present and presented strong
subscription 10 secure the road 20 that
place. Mr.. Baldwin left Wednesday going
10 Whlte county and over the Lula route
to Athens and thence to Gainesville. The
matter of route will be determined upon
on his return and will depend entirely upon
which route offers strongest inducements
1t was stated at the meeting that the cost
of grading between the copper mine and
Dahlonega would be more than was antic-
ipated. 1t Is necessary for our people to
come up with their subscription: $4,000 at
least, ought to be raised. The committee

county for the purpose of obtaining de-
finite subscriptions. The well known char
acter of the capitalists at the head of the
enterprise is guarantee of good faith

Augusta Herald: Tramp, tramp, tramp,
the boys are marching. Their line of march
is over railroad crossties and their desti-
nation seems 10 be Augusta. On all sides
there are complaints of tramps. Like
migratory birds, they seem TO be going to
Florida for the winter and stopping in
Augusta for a few days on their way
thither. Big brawny tramps and little,
measly tramps-tramps with whiskers and
bandaged feet and tramps wearing bro
gans and clean faces. They impudently
walk into your back yard and demand
dinner-do the numerous Weary Waggles
said this morning that he was very much
put out by them. He says that wherever
they see a house with a rent card on it,
they choose il as a resting place for the
night and break open doors or windows
or resort to any extreme to accomplish their
end-that of sleeping in the house. Just
about this time every year and about April
Augusta is compelled to stand seige of
tramps. 1t seems that it would prove
effectual If they were put on the gang
for a few days, rather than being simply
told to get out of town by u o'clock which
seems to be the established precedent
The stage tramp is oiffereht from the real
tramp and the stage tramp is bad enough
so, pray, Mr.. Recorder and Mr.. Police
man run these pestiferous beings out of
town or put them to work on the chain
gang. There is a gully crossing the north
ern crossing of Cumming street at Greene
which is dangerous to life and property
and 1t would give the residents in the
neighborhood great pleasure to see the
crew of tramps filling it up.
