I ing been his former home. lie is a

ble for saying that lb v G. W. Belk
“will lecture on the evening of the
18th instant,” which statement we
i now correct by announcing that he
; will lecture “on the World’s Fair.”
’ This lecture is an instructive, witty,

; house will greet the speaker. Ad-
I mission 25c.; proceeds go to the

i taining lecture at the Opera House

The friends of Miss Susie Wallace,
I who is now teaching at Salem, Ala.,
[ were pained to learn this week that
she met with an unfortunate acci
dent. She was shot through the
■ hand by the accidental discharge of
| a pistol; but further particulars have
I not been learned, except that the
wound is only a slight one. Mrs.
Wallace was at once summoned to
her daughter, and is expected to re
turn in a few’ days.
Ths Preachers Speak.
Last Thursday night in the city coun
cil chamber the aldermen and the minis
ters present were about equally divided:
near’v every pastor in Gainesville was
on hand.
After some appropriate preliminary
remarks Rev. S. J. Cartledge read the
following petition which speaks for it
self :
The undersigned ministers of the gos
pel earnestly petition the Mayor and
Council of our city not to grant license
for the sale of intoxicating liquors in this
community.
Ist. Because the question of issuing
license was not involved in the recent
election of a city council.
2d. Because the county of Hall has
voted against the sale of whisky, and
therefore the issuing of license is con
trary to the action of the county and law
of the State.
3d. Because open barrooms will lead
to an increase of crime, as shown by the
record of the mayor's court: the number
of cases for drunkenness in Gainesville
in the year 18(11 with licensed barrooms
being 135, and in 1893 with barrooms
closed only 38, a difference of 97.
4th. Because the open barroom not
only threatens the peace and safety of
our homes, but also the character and
destiny of our boys.
sth. Because the open barroom antag
onizes the work of the church and vio
lates the law of God.

M. J. Cofer, S. R. Belk, D. S. McCurry,
J. L. R. Barrett, J. W. Butts, J. 11. Lit
tle, A. Van Hoose.
Subsequent to the reading Rev. G. 11.
Carter made an earnest plea for straight
out-and-out prohibition.
An Unexpected Summons.
A peculiarly sad and sudden death oc
curred in our city last Friday evening.
Johnnie Morgan, a young man who
for some time past has been working in
tiie shoe factories at this place, was rid
ing in a road cart with his brother along
Main street.
Near Bagwell & Gower’s carriage fac
tory young Morgan became suddenly ill
and before his companion was able to
assist him, he fell from the vehicle into
the street.
A crowd soon congregated and the sick
man was carried into Erwin’s boarding
house near by.
Dr. Gower was immediately summoned,
and restoratives were administered, but
all attempts to resuscitate him proved
futile. He sank rapidly, and in 15 min
utes was dead.
The body was conveyed to his home
on Summit street, where, at the request
of relatives, an inquest was held by Cor
oner Dorsey.
The verdict was to the effect that
Morgan came to his death from sudden
heart failure.
For Sail.
There were eight gallons of old red-eye
—corn liquor, in other words—sold on
the public square of this prohibition
town yesterday, and the grand jury sit
ting in all its dignity at the very time!
How does that sound? It’s a fact.
You see, there was a revenue sale held
by order of Collector Harrison, Gus
Simmons officiating.
Ono black horse, one road cart and one
set of buggy harness went under the
auctioneer’s hammer at the remarkably
munificient sum of $32. Tom Merck
was the victim.
Then came the desert—mountain dew
soup flavored with moonshine, and then
the cause of such a congregation became
manifest.
The eight gallons wore disposed of in
less than 2 minutes at $1.60 per gallon.
An Aged Sinner.
An old man with white hair now lan
guishes in our jail upon a remarkable
charge.
His imprisonment is in accoidance
with the decision of the Justice’s court
last Saturday in a decidedly sensational
preliminary trial.
The plaintiff was Roxie Shoemaker,
an innocent little girl about 14 years of
age, and the defendant was Simpson
Kiser, an old man 60 years old.
The charge was criminal assault. Af
ter hearing the evidence, Justice of the
Peace Fowler bound Kiser over in the
sum of S3OO to appear before the Su
perior court.
In default of bail Kiser was commit
ted to jail.
Program of the Union Meeting
For the fifth section of the Chattahoo
chee Association, to be held with Cor
inth church, commencing Friday before
the fifth Sunday in Apr il, 1894.
Introductory sermon by W. A. Boyd.
Subjects for discussion :
1. How much light do the churches
lose for want of strict discipline? To be
led by New Bridge and Corinth.
2. What is mission work? And is it
inconsistent with the fundamental doc
trines of Christianity? To be led by
Wahoo and Concord.
3. What does the term fellowship
mean in its originality? To be led by
Holly Spring and Dewberry No. 1.
4. Would there be any benefit derived
from a number of churches centering on
one man as their pastor, and liberating
him to the full work of the ministry and
requiring him to do pastoral work? To
be led by Dewberry No. 2 and Mt. Ver
non.
5. If we prove disloyal to Christ by
neglecting to aid in carrying the gospel
to all the world, will God deprive us
of the privilege by taking the gospel
from us? By all.

—Miss Alice Nance, teacher—with a
large attendance. Miss Nance is liked
by our people very much.
Prayer-meeting has been regularly es
tablished at the Methodist church in
Lula and announced for Tuesday nights.
Mr. L. D. Coggins has opened a gener
al merchandise stock of goods in Lula,
as has Mr. Lipscomhe bought the gener
al stock of Mr. Headley Headen. Some
people can see further into the future
than others.
Mr. George Rognon has begun a large
school at tiie Shockley school house.

last week in the death on Wednesday

M. E. church South for 54 years aud was

zens are attending court this week.
There has been some great talk of a
small newspaper to be published in Bell
ton. We await later developments be
fore definitely announcing.
The Bell ton public school began
Tuesday with a large attendance. What
a pity Bellton and Lula could not unite
for school purposes any way, and build
up a school that would attract attention
—a high school, for instance. The op
portunities are before us and all is need
ed is to grasp them. “In union there is
strength,” but in separation there is
death.

This section was treated to a surprise
last Sunday. It was caused by Mr. Zack
Martin and Miss Minnie Blackstock mar
rying. Zack had to steal his girl, or,
rather, had his brother to.
LaGrippe has turned us loose but we
are afraid it will grab us again if the
weather don’t improve.
Prof I. D. Hudgins has a very good
school, altho ugh not as large as at this
time last year.
Bachelors are usually considered
worthless, but there is one in this com
munity who is an exception to the gener
al rule. He teaches a literary school,
manages a farm, runs a fruit nursery, is
president of one literary society and
chaplain of another, superintendent and
chorister of a Sunday school, chaplain
of a singing society and clerk of a church.
Besides filling these positions he has
plenty of time to answer his correspond

Our readers will remember that last
fall the safes of S. S. Carter, W. P. Car
ter, and Scoggin & Lipscomb, of Bellton,
were blown open and their contents
stolen by’ unknown persons.
It was supposed that the same gang
blew open a safe at Buford about the
same time. They also paid their re
spects to W. A. Sharp at Longview
about the first of November.
The same parties had also concocted a
scheme to “hold up and go through” in
true highwayman style a passenger
train on the Richmond and Danville
Railroad a short while ago. but on ac
count of disagreement among themselves
the plans were not executed.
Last Sunday another chapter in the
story was concluded—it is hoped the
final chapter. Capt. Torn llanie of this
city, detective for the R. & D. IjprieWU

Monday. J. Wellborn on the
bench and Solicitor Howard Thompson
on deck and as vigorous as ever.
In his charge to the grand jury the
judge directed special attention to viola
tion of the law against concealed wea
pons, against going armed to a public
gathering, and against persons under
the influence of intoxicants at public
religious worship.
He spoke in unmistakable terms of the
illegal sale of liquor. In alluding to a
recent city license ordinance he said:
“I think a time has arrived when
something important must occur in the
prohibition question in Hall county. A
stand must be taken for or against.
Those who encourage the illegal traffic
encourage lawlessness, for there is a
prohibitory law in this, county. That
the question involves a moral issue,
should determine the position of true
citizens.”
lie said further that no corporation
has authority in this county to license
intoxicants, and that it was dangerous
to receive pay for leave to violate State
law.

Against the Sale.
The agitation of th< liquor license
question called forth a s nanon from Rev.
S. R. Belk, at the Uirst Methodist
church, Sunday night, upon the theme:
“Indictment against the Bar-room.”
Os course no analysis will be attempted,
but following are some of his strokes
straight from the shoulder:
“The h-irroom and its frequenters are
the cause of most of the evils which
stain o national character, fill our jails,
poor houses, and penitentiaries, and
throng the road to ruin.
“How many homes has it blighted;
how many wives has it made widows,
children orphans, and fathers fiends?
It warms the gambler’s blood, inspires
the thief, and nerves the midnight assas
sin. It robs the poor, filches from the
rich, .suborns testimony, flatters attor
neys, and buys out juries. It fathers all
crime and mothers all misery.
“The traffic consumes enough money
to educate every orphan in the land,
support every widow, build homes for
our‘oppressed laborers, and evangelize
the xvorld in 30 years. It stands stigma
tized-tbefore the world as the blackest
enem|i of God and man that ever fas
tened its clutches into the quivering
flesh of humanity.
“This traffic destroys the body, ruins
the mind, and damns the soul, and yet
we elect the men that make the laws that
legalize the traffic.”
A vote was taken Sunday morning at
the First Baptist church, where Rev. G.
11. Carter preached on the same topic,
and at the First Methodist at night, and
the result showed a large majority for
unqualified suppression of the sale of
liquor.
The Sahools for 1894.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
Council Chamber, Jan. 11. 1894.
Council met in regular session, with
Mayor Walker in the chair, and present
Aldermen Finger, Gaston, Green, and
Martin.
The minutes of the preceding meeting
were read and approved.
The ministers of the various churches
of the city appeared before the Council
and petitioned that the license tax ordi
nance relative to selling temperance and
other drinks be reconsidered and re
pealed. On motion, consideration of
said petition was postponed until all the
members of the Council were present.
On motion, the Mayor was authorized
to appoint a committee of two, with
power to act, to have a tiremen's hall
fitted up in the city building on corner
Main and Broad sticets. The Mayor ap
pointed on said committee Aldermen
Gaston and Whelchel.
The following accounts were read the
first time and, on motion, referred to the
Finance Committee:
Industrial News, Richards & Co., A.
P. Ilauie, Logan Hardware Co., J. G.
Uynds Mfg Co., and E. E. Dixon.
No further business council adjourned.
G. W. Walker, Mayor.
E. P. Chambers, Clerk.
Council Chamber, Jan. 17, 1894.
Council met in extra session, with
Mayor Walker in the chair; and Aider
men Finger, Gaston, Green, Whclchcl,
Martin, and Webb present.
The object of the meeting was the con
sideration of an inaccuracy which had
occurred in the proceedings of January
4, 1894.
On motion, the following iesolution
was introduced and adopted:
Whereas at the regular meeting of
Council on Jan. 4, 1894, a mistake oc
curred in the passage of the License Tax
Ordinance, and the following ordinance
was erroneously and inadvertently passed
by mistake, said error being in the pass
age of No. 41 in Section No. 1; said sec
tion reading as follows:
“Upon each retail liquor dealer, in
cluding malt liquors and temperance
drinks, without City’s protection against
laws other than the City’s, per annum,
$500.”
When in fact said section, as passed
and read, was and should have been:
“Upon each dealer in temperance and
other drinks, excepting soda water from
fountains and milk shakes, per annum,
$500.”
Be it resolved, That No. 41 of Sec. 1 be
so amended by ordinance as to read as it
was passed in fact, and intended.
On motion, the rules were suspended
and, after the second reading, the fol
lowing ordinance was passed:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ANNUAL
LICENSE TAX ORDINANCE OF 1894.
Be it ordained by the Mayor and Coun
cil of the city of Gainesville, and it is
hereby ordained by the authority of
the same:
Ist. That No. 41 of Section lof the
Annual License Tax Ordinance for the
year 1894 be, and the same is hereby,
amended by striking out the following
words, to-wit: “retail liquor dealer, in
cluding malt liquors.” And also further
amended by inserting in said No. 41 of
Sec. 1 the following words, to-wit: “ex
cepting soda water from fountains and
milk shakes,” so said No. 41 of Sec. 1
shall read when so amended, as follows:
“Upon each dealer in temperance and
other drinks, excepting soda water from
fountains and milk shakes, per annum,
SSOO.
2d. Be it further ordained that all or
dinances, and parts of ordinances, in
conflict with this ordinance be, and the
same are hereby, repealed.
No further business Council adjourned.
G. W. Walker, Mayor.
E. P. Chambers, Clerk.
The above action of the Council was
brought about by my having misunder
stood the words in which the members of
the Council wish to frame No. 41 Sec. 1 of
the annual license tax ordinance for the
year 1894, passed Jan. 4, 1894, and con
firmed Jan. 11, 1894.
As the error was clerical I am sorry
that the Council, on my account, were
troubled with an extra session, and the
necessity of amending said ordinance. 1
wish to say this much in explanation of
the foregoing proceedings.
Very respectfully,
E. P. Chambers, Clerk.

MOST PERFECT MADE.
A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder. Free
from Ammonia, Alum or any other adulterant.
40 YEARS THE STANDARD.
THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder has all the
Honors—in Strength and Value 20 Per
Cent above its Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en
viable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class—
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined—wherever ex
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs where
it has been exhibited, judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking Pow
der the highest honors.
At the recent World's Fair Fair the ex
aminations for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts of the chemi
cal division of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington. The official report
of the tests of the baking powders which
were made by this department for the
specific purpose of ascertaining which
was the best, and which has been made
public, shows the leavening strength of
the Royal to be 160 cubic inches of car
bonic gas per ounce of powder. Os the
cream of tartar baking powders exhib
ited at the Fair, the next highest in
strength thus tested contained but 1;’>;1
cubic inches of leavening g.is. The oth
er powders gave an average of 111. The
Royal, therefore, was found of 20 per
cent greater leavening strength than its
nearest competitor, ami 44 per cent above
the average of all the other tests. Its
superiority in other respects, however,
in the quality of the food it makes as to
fineness, delicacy and wholesomeness,
could not be measured by figures.
Il is these high qualities, known and
appprcciated by the women of the coun
try for so many years, that have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as
shown by statistics, to exceed the sale of
all other baking powde. combined.
