THE EAGLE.
M. P. CAI.DWELL, Local.
Friday Morning, May 14, 1875.
City Items.
Trade is nominal.
Plant a fruit tree.
Justice Court to-morrow.
Bring on your spring chickens.
This is emphatically the day of pic
nics.
Tuesday morning was rather win
terish.
A nice dancing party last Thursday
night at Mr. Leaser’s.
This locality was visited with a nice
rain Monday morning.
Our friend, F. F. Cape, is building
an addition to his house.
Can’t our young folks get up a pic
nic at the Sulphur Springs ?
It is now decided that you cannot
send money by a postal card.
We think there will be a great deal
of building here this summer.
Mayor Bradley got “live and costs”
in one solitary case the last week.
Our ladies were out at Church in
full force and beauty last Sunday.
Cohen says, “So shure as I live a
man—the bock beer is the thing.”
Mr. Rich is doing some of the nicest
buggy work over dono in this city.
Every young lady and young man
should learn Gray’s Elegy by heart.
An hour can be very pleasantly
spent at Cohen’s these hot evenings.
Our young friend, Jimmie Gaston,
says business is rather dull with him
Judge Crowder is “ready, willing
and waiting” to issue revenue license.
Avery pleasant, social dance at the
Richmond House last Wednesday
night.
Gainesville has perhaps more dogs
and less use for them than any place
in Georgia.
A negro house on the plantation oi
Col. Jesse S. Davis was burned last
Sunday night.
We are glad to know our neighbor,
the Southron, is prospering under its
present management.
Mr. David Boling, recently from
Banks county, a very old man, died in
this city on Sunday night.
Mr. L. F. Finger has bought a lot
off the Maj. Bull lot, and proposes to
erect a nice house light oil.
The Board of Education of Had
county will hold their regular meeting
on the first Tuesday in June.
Tom, you will have to lay aside that
line police suit, or you never will get
up a case. The boys can see you too
far.
We think parties who live near
Judge Cochran’s cellars this summer
will be compelled to have mosquito
bars.
How it is that doctors live hero and
do so well, is a problem, as Gainesville
is perhaps as healthy a place as any
on the globe.
I >
Our friend, A. L. Dorsey, and fam
ily, of Atlanta, spent two or three days
in the city this week. We are always
glad to see you, Gus.
The spelling bee last Thursday night
was rather a dull affair, we learn from
those present. We were sick, or wo
would have been on hand.
We are decidedly of the opinion the
Council should forbid the practice of
cutting up wood on the streets. It is
wrong, and litters up our nice streets,
when it could very easily be avoided.
W. L. Johnson, our efficient and ac
commodating depot agent, has built a
pair of good steps to the platform of
the depot building. We are much
obliged to you, Billie.
A lady friend of ours terms the
squads of men round on the sidewalks
“monkey roosts.” It is a first-rate
name. We expect to keep out of these
roosts hereafter.
Judge Winburn issued eighty mar
riage license last year. He is now sell
ing them at one dollar aud a half, and
thinks these low figures should greatly
increase the number this year.
A. J. Odell has nearly completed his
residence in the grove near Judge
O’Neal’s. xVudy is a clever man, and
has a nice family, and wo are glad Le
is goiug to move to town.
Judge Winbtfrn had a lively time
on Monday in his Court, over some
homesteads—two parties trying to
homestead the same property. They
postponed to compromise.
Judge llice is holding the first Su
perior Court in the new county of Oco
nee, this week, at Watkiusville. He
goes right on with all his adjourned
Courts now.
If our efficient marshal will have all
the loose rock, sticks, plank, scantling,
papers and old chicken coops picked
up and removed oil' the square, we will
have one of the nicest squares in the
State. The old chicken coops are a
nuisance, and should be kept in the
back yards.
Judge O’Neal is having the interior
of his house greatly improved, some
nice verandas built in front, and cook
and dining rooms in rear, which greatly
imprrves it in appearance.
We do hope the authorities of the
Air-Line road will build a platform
between the tracks at the depot for
the convenience of persons getting on
and off the cars.
■
Mr. Jake Johnson and Jesse and Joe
Davis have rented the Sulphur Springs
for this season, and will open them up
on the first of next month. This will
be gratifying intelligence to invalids,
and we wish the boys good luck.
Preaching on first and third Sab
baths of each month, and every Sun
day night at the Presbyterian Church.
If you will attend, Mr. Cleveland, the
Pastor, will be very apt to tell you
something new.
Rev. Mr. Gwin, formerly pastor of
the Baptist Church of Austin, Texas,
preached in the Methodist Church last
Sunday morning, and at night. Ho is
a very able divine, and one of the most
eloquent pulpit orators we ever heard.
Judge McDonald took a lumber train
from here the other day to Gillsville,
loaded forty thousand feet of lumber,
and returned with it in a little over
two hours. That looks like someone
must have worked.
Commissioner O’Neal held a United
Stales “Justice Court” on Monday,
and bound one George Barnes, col.
over to the U. S. Court, for distilling
and retailing whisky without license.
J ohn Brown was discharged.
And now our young friend, Tom
McCamy, and Mr. Miller, come to the
ft out with a “feed store” in Gaines
ville. Well, it is just what our place
has needed a long time, and we think
they will do well.
A\. A. Brown, Mayor pro tern., sit
ting as a criminal court, disposod of a
case of assault and battery on Monday.
Result—s2s and costs, or thirty days
on the public works. Judge Brown
graces the bench well.
The sidewalks are set apart for pub
lic use, and wo tnink it highly im
proper for men to congregate in squads
on them, so as to obstruct them in the
least, and especially with chairs around
store doors, so that ladies can scarcely
pass.
The Sulphur Springs will be run
this summer by Mr. J. V. Johnson, who
has had fifteen years’ experience in
hotel business, and we are satisfied he
v.ill render full satisfaction to all pa
trons. We are glad this fine watering
place is to be opened.
We hope Judge Winburn will have
the court yard nicely cleaned up, the
old fence torn away, a nice new one
built in keeping with the improvement
of our city, and hereafter to forbid the
cutting of wood in or about the yard.
It should be neatly enclosed and set
in grass.
We must congratulate our young,
friend, Miss Addie Langston, on
the skill she displays as organist in
Church. She is now a fine performer,
and by application will soon be distin
guished in this useful department of!
music.
Dr. Bradley has one of the neatest
drug stores in the State—a well se
lected stock of first-class drugs, medi- ■
cines, cigars, perfumery and fancy ar
ticles. And the Doctor has the happy
faculty of making you feel pleasant
after you spend your money with him.
Our friend, Ira Gaines, of this coun
ty, received on last Saturday, from
Richmond, Va., a splendid Caldwell
Thresher, with fan attachment. It is
a magnificent piece of machinery, and
W3 understend it is well suited to the
use for which it is intended. Parti s
having wheat to thresh would do well
to see Uncle Jra.
Hughey, Alexander & Cos. keep con
stantly on hand a very largo stock of
dry goods, groceries, hardware, tin
ware, etc. They havo perhaps the best
hardware establisment north of Atlan
ta. They liayo connected with their
house a very large warehouse for the
cotton trade, heavy goods, grain, etc.
This firm are sober, steady, indus
trious, reliable, working gentlemen—
do a very heavy trade, and deserve and
are bound to succeed.
The many friends of Capt.. D. H.
McDonald will be pained to learn that
ho has been confined to his bed for
two months past, in a general debili
tated state of health. He is thought
to be slowly recovering, and we hope
the time is not far distant when ho may
be restored to the vigorous health that
he enjoyed when we used to play “Cat”
under the classic shades of old
Lebanon.
The Methodist Sunday School of
this city, aud all others who desire,
will picnic at the famous Ponce tie
Loon Spring, near Atlanta, on Satur
day, 22nd inst. Tho excursion train
will leave Gainesville at 0:30 a. m., and
return late in tho evening. All who
do not want to stop at tho Spring can
go right on to Atlanta. Faro—one
dollar; children under twelve years of
age half price. This will be a rare
chance for a day of rest and fun, and
a cheap trip to Atlanta. Don’t forget
the day—22nd instant. The Gaines
ville Brass Band will be on hand. Col.
I Langston will be marshal cf tho day.
Byers has a real live “Rkbel.” Call
and see him.
The Assessors completed their labor
in six days. Total value of real estate
in the city, 8533,835. Last year it
was $450,670, showing an increase of
$83,165. This increase is mostly on
new buildings', and is a good showing
for our young city.
Would it not be well for the Board
of Health, just now on the advent of
warm weather, to look into the condi
tion of cellars, privies, cisterns, sinks,
and anything else likely to contain
sickness ? Our city is noted for its
health, but wo think these precaution
ary measures should he adopted to
keep up her proud name. “An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.”
If you desire a good fit, or a fine
suit cut and made to order in full style,
go to Mr. Timberlake’s and give him a
trial. Ho comes to our city highly en
dorsed as a first-class merchant tailor
—has a supply of fine French cloths,
English suitings and American cassi
mers on hand to furnish to order. He
makes cutting a specialty, and war
rants satisfaction. We bespeak for
him a libc ral patronage. See his card.

The Sunday School of the First Pres
byterian Church of Atlanta, with a
large number of friends, had a fine pic
nic Saturday at New Holland. The
day was fine, and the occasion a pleas
ant affair for the little fellows. This
School is under the Superintendency
of Mr. Samuel M. Inman, and the pas
toral charge of Rev. Mr. Martin. W e
met in the crowd, among others, Mr.
Martin, the Pastor; Mr. Inman, the
Superintendent; Dr. Westmoreland, J.
R. Gramling, H. P. Farrow, Wm. M.
Lowry, Mr. Oliver, Mr. Dunn and W.
T. Newman, Esq. The crowd was quiet
and orderly, and, taken altogether, we
never saw a nicer crowd from Atlanta
in any picnic.
It is proper to state that the dancing
was by parties not connected with the
School.
Gainesville.
From a small village Gainesville has
rapidly risen to the rank of a city, or
commercial centre; and from soui'ces
soon to be developed, she will more
than double her population. It is said,
by the thoughtless, that her people are
wicked. Nothing is further from the
truth. Her municipal record will com -
pare with any city in the world, and
give the lie to the slander. Look at
her teachers and clergymen, of all de
nominations, and you observe perfect
harmony and co-operation in elevating
the rising generation in the scale of
being, without regard to creeds and
church ordinances. With such a so
ciety, and such a matchless climate,
we anticipate a large increase of popu
lation,, who will receive a hearty wel
come. M. S.

We, the committee appointed by the
Baptist Habbath School at Smithville,
Ga., to draft a preamble and resolu
tions expressive of the feelings of the
school in regard to the death of Rob
ert G. Sanders, one of our number,
who died suddenly while off at school
in Gainesville, Ga., on the morning of
the 25111 nit., beg leave to report:
Whereon, by a Providence inscruta
ble ill its decrocs, but supreme in wis
dom, perfect in goodness, and bound
less in mercy, it has pleased tho “Good
Shepherd” to remove one of tho first
lings of our littlo llock and transfer
him to the upper fold, where he now
wanders over tbo green pastures and
beside the still waters hard by the
throne of God. And whereas, by this
dispensation, pregnant with mercy,
though clau in rigorous garb, there is
left an empty seat in our school, a va
cant chair around the family hearth
stone, art aching void in tho affections
of a heart-riven sister, a blight of fond
est hopes to a childless site, and a bit
ter cup of sorrow to bo drained by the
lips of a stricken mother; therefore,
.Resolved, That, though Ave regarded
Bobbio as a noble boy—of far more
than ordinary promise—and hopefully
pictured for him a lifo of usefulness
and honor, yet in humble acquiescence
we yield our claim to that of the Om
niscient Father, Avho, in his own good
time, calleth his own.
2nd That from our iumost hearts
wo tender to the bereaved family our
deepest aud most sincere sympathy in
this, their day of trouble. . May the
aching void in the heart of the sister
bo filled to overflowing with a Saviour’s
love, and may her tears be dried in the
joyful hope of a happy re-union beyond
the grave, when she hears his soul
cheering assurance, “Thy brother shall
rise again.” May the withered hopes
of the father,. projecting beyond the
desolation of death, bud, blossom and
come to glorious fruition “on* Eden’s
blissful shore,” and his corroding grief
find comfort in the consoling words of
the Holy One of Nazareth, “He is not
dead, but sleepeth.” May the mother
drink the bitter cup in memory of the
one drained by her Saviour in the gar
den of Gethsemane, and in his own
meek, submissive spirit, say, “The cup
which my father giveth me, shall I not
drink it ?” And as she, time and again,
shall bedew with briny tears each cher
ished memento of the departed loved
one, may she list to the sweet voice of
the Heavenly comforter, “Though the
sun shall be no more thy light by day,
neither for brightness shall the moon
give light unto thee; yet ‘the Lord
shall be thine everlasting light, and
the days of thy mourning shall be
ended.’ ”
3rd. That, as a mark of respect to
the memory of the deceased, we will
wear the usual badge of mourning for
ten days.
4tli. That a copy of these resolutions
be furnished to the family of the de
ceased, and other copies be sent to the
Gainesville Eagle and Sumter Repub
lican, with a request for their publica
tion. Respectfully submitted.
