The patrons of Ellaville High School were exceedingly anxious to secure Miss Kate Williams for assistant teacher, but she had made an engagement for the term before this position was offered her. We congratulate the citizens of Glen Holly upon securing her valuable services. Dr. Quillian of Elberton was in town several days last week, extracting teeth. By, the use of an anesthetic called "Tondum" he performed this operation with ease, the patient experiencing no pain. This wonderful discovery is a boon to humanity, those who have endured the tortures of tooth ache can fully appreciate its merits, for there is no agony so excruiating as having a tooth pulled the old fashioned way. Miss Alma Simpson, niece of Dr. H.S. Munro is one of the students sent here from a distance to attend the excellent school we now have. She is boarding at Dr. Munro's. Prof. Whitehurst, the principal, being an experienced and competent teacher. We don't think the public could find a better place to send their children to school. Board is cheap, location is healthy and our town is known for hospitality and freedom from evil in ????????. OUR LOSS Dr. C.H. Smith moved last week to New Smyrna, Fla. Mrs. Smith will join him as soon as their home at that place is completed. All our people deeply regret the circumstances that take this highly esteemed family from our midst. From a long residence here they have become identified with the town, and the place they occupied will not be easy to fill. Both have been leaders in every good and charitable movement and have hosts of warm friends, who are pained to part with them. Dr. Smith has for years had a very extensive practice, being one of the most successful and popular physicians in this section, but perhaps in the Sunday school, where for thirty years he has been the faithful and beloved superintendent, he will be most sadly missed. May every good thing that will make life peaceful and joyous, be showered upon our friends in their new home. A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY Dr. J.A. Quillian of Elberton, Ga. was in Ellaville last week extracting teeth with the use of a new local anesthetic called "Tundum" which, though perfectly harmless, renders the most difficult operations absolutely painless. Several of our people had a mouth full of teeth extracted and many had one or more taken out, and the verdict was, "it did not hurt." Among those who testifies voluntarily that they had teeth extracted without pain by this method are Capt. Peacock, Mrs. Hornady, C.R. McCrory, T.J. Murphy and a good many others. Dr. H.S. Munro has secured the right to use Tundum in this county. The Ellaville Band under the efficient teaching of Prof. Len Baldwin is making very rapid progress, more so than any band he has ever taught. Several members being able to render their part of the piece practiced with perfect harmony. The Tuber, which by the way seems to be the lead horn, was given to the right man, in fact Prof. Baldwin has a happy faculty of suiting the horn to the man, or rather the man to the horn, and that snare drum, when Mr. Hill hits that you hear something rattle. We predict for Ellaville a fine band as it certainly has the right material for the teacher to work with, and now boys, do your part, don't give up, but practice and ere long we will be proud of our Band. Our office in the upper part of the handsome brick store of Collins & Williamson being about completed, we take this week to move our press.
