W. r. York is splendid teacher
and is giving satisfaction to all.
Died-On last Monday night,
James Templeton, the son of J. A.
Templeton. James had been lin
gering for several months with
paralysis. He had many friends
who mourn his loss. But, o,
blessed thought that he left the
sweet and cansoling truth that
his spirit is resting in the happy
Beyond. Then let us try to reach
the realms of bliss to greet him
fcrevermore. The bereaved have
our sympathy.
Ben Booth, of MONDAY, is spend
ing few days with his uncle,
John A. Booth.
A large attendance at singing
Sunday evening. Bros. D. B.
Henderson and Willard Scroggins
leading the lessons.
A man claiming to be employed
by the government as a mineralo-
gist made his appearance in our
community last week. But we
very seriously doubt his ability to
fill the position of DR.. Yates. The
people i'll general have concluded
that it was bread and meat that
he was hunting instead of tracing
"Dahlonega gold" veins. He
found several gold mines and made
many of our people rich. We fear
when all these mines are opened
up wall street" bankers will
have to close.
There will be a meeting at the
academy Saturday night to organ
ize debating and literary society.
Prof. J. l.. Moore is studying
law with Col. Ed. Frey. He will
make hustler. Watch and see.
We have been often reminded
of the motto, mind your own
business and let other peoples
alone, /" also "A stitch in time
saves nine" and not only that
but "Truth is mighty and will
prevail" and Beware of them
that appear in Sleeps clothing but
inwardly are as raving wolves. "
Words fall sweet and charming
from their lips, but clothed with
satanic deceit and destruction,
seeking whom they may devour.
Let our motto be to lift our fellow
man from the mire, and not to
destroy him and on his downfall
seek to- gain honor. But let us
honor him who gives honor to him
whom honor is due. Let us by
truth and honesty seek to elevate
all men and do the service of God
with righteous and honest heart.
Gods kingdom is mighty and glo-
rious and shame on that wicked
one who would seek to destroy it.
Let us remember, too, THAT ev-
cry tub must stand on it's own
bottom" and "a still tongue makes
wise head" also IA wise man
never makes a fool" and Zone
thing and that done we'll is very
good rule as many can tell"
Never forget to think wisely and
act prudently. All sober thinking
men usually peruse these little
facts and act accordingly.
Did you ever hear tell of a man
who rolled until he got round like
a ball. We have had the pleasure
of seeing him or one just like him
few days ago, at least he was
rolling the last time / saw him.
VIM. Edison has added new
room to his dwelling.
Jasper York has been worried
considerably of late OH account of
the jostling of his fleshy joles and
the smiles of beautiful young
womanhood Of our ridge. 1t is
hoped he may soon recover from
this morbid and. unhealthy state,
and at least be able to make one
more crop.
+. b. Rawllns claims to have
killed hog a few weeks ago that
would almost equal the pig at
"Valdosta. -"
N. j. Horn has returned home
after being confined at his uncle's
at Rome with mumps for several
days. We are glad to note his
improvement.
The ridge is OH a boom, every
body is satisfied of that tact. Be-
cause a man said the other day
everything is dead. This may be,
but it's up the branch. Stand to
the rack, brother, "fodder or no
fodder" Time proves all things
and the reward is to him who holds
out faithful to the END. Be of
good cheer, be not cast down.
Look at the bright side, do not at
! L
