A rambling note from a 1920s Atlanta issue rails at auto crashes and flashy headlines. It jokes about editors, predicts rising tobacco yields, mentions W T McGray's prison release, and criticizes reckless driving and end time prophecies while skirting local gossip and public notices.
Bridges Smith recalls Dahlonega, Lumpkin County as a scenic mountain town with history from the 1840s gold rush. He notes The Nugget newspaper, longtime editor Judge Townsend, local life, roads, and families, plus current curiosities from autos to mining interest and public notices around town.
Dahlonega telephone rates are set on the premise that phones in homes are for residents only. Using them by others is described as deadbeating the company, with a plea for honest messaging and paying postage for messages. The note adds that paupers needing a phone may get a contribution, while borrowed service is likened to a borrowed newspaper.
