The court house has recently been
scoured and renovated from cellar to
garret.

Florida for several weeks, returned
Tuesday night much improved in
health.

visiting relatives in Atlanta for sev
eral weeks, will return to her home
at New Holland to-morrow.
Miss Daisy Moreno, who has been
visiting her brother at Memphis since
early in January, returned home last
week.
A new attorney arrived at the
home of W. S. Pickrell Monday
morning. He is a large, fine boy.
Mother and child are both doing well.
Raymond T. Merck, soda water
manufacturer of Elberton, spent a
few days in town this week on bus
iness, and visiting relatives, etc.
Rev. A. T. Nunn of Young Har
ris, the former pastor of Hall circuit,
will preach at South Bend next Sun
day at 11 o’clock.
The election in White county to
issue bonds to build a new 7 jail came
off last week and resulted in 48 votes
for bonds and 343 against.
At the residence of Mr. W. IL
Norris, last night, Mr. Harvey M.
Bucket and Miss Susie V. O’Shields
were united in marriage. Rev. J.
11. Little officiated.
E. F. F. means Expert Fit Foot
ers. That is what Rigsby & Son are.
Th«y will fit the foot and you foot
the bill. See what they say and go
and see them.
Dr. E. E. Dixon & Co. have the
only delivery clerk in the city W’ho
wears a uniform with brass buttons.
His name is Levi Ward, and he
makes a specialty of delivering grip
sules.
Albert Bird, colored, was before
the mayor Tuesday morning for sell
ing whiskey. He was fined sls,
less costs. Bird had the finest out
fit of tneaures, etc., of any tiger yet
captured.
1). E. Evans was before the mayor
Tuesday evening for doing promis
cuous drumming at the Arlington
Hotel for his street car line. He
was fined $1 and costs, amounting to
$6.
Our handsome young friend, J.
Cornelius Smith of Flowery 7 Branch,
was visiting in the city one day this
week. He says the Branch is on a
considerable up-grade and under a
full head of steam.
Rev. J. A. Wynne preached at
Chestnut Street Tuesday night to
an interested and appreciative con
gregation. It is not necessary to say
it was the best sermon he ever
preached, for every one he preaches
is the best; so his hearers say.
The services at Grace church on
Sunday last were conducted by Mr.
Wolfe of Atlanta, who will enter the
Seminary at Suwanee, Tenn., in Au
gust to study for the ministry. Mr.
Wolfe is a young man of intellect
and his friends predict for him suc
cess in his chosen profession.
The Democratic County Executive
Committee has been called to meet
next Tuesday at the court house.
They will decide whether they will
decide the question of primary or
mass meeting to make nominations
or call a mass meeting to select a new
committee to settle that question.
Mr. John Roach Straton’s lecture,
“Day Dreams,” delivered a few
evenings since in the Seminary 7 , was
a rare production. Thoughtful, bril
liant in wit, and touching in its pathos,
it was certainly an intellectual treat.
Mr. Straton will doubtless visit our
town again and when he comes we
bespeak a crowded house.
Monday evening lightning struck
two trees in 11. A. Langford’s yard,
at Oconee Mills. The trees were
about 125 feet apart, and the same
bolt struck both, tearing them to
splinters. The nearest tree was
about 30 feet from the house. A
baby was asleep at the time, and was
not even awakened. None of th<
family was shocked in the least.
To nominate candidates for county
officers on June 6, simply invites any
man engaged in farming, who desires
to offer for office, to remain out of
the race, because it is almost impos
sible to neglect farm work without
serious injury to the crops in either
April or May, the very months that
would have to be devoted to can
vassing and electioneering.
Last Sunday the new Methodist
church at Lebanon was dedicated.
Rev. M. J. Cofer conducted the ser
vice. He preached a good sermon to
a large congregation. His subject
was the Doctrines and Polity ot
Methodism. After the sermon the
trustees presented the building and
it was set apart for the worship of
God.
Weighed and Found Wanting
Business has been a little dull in the
mayor’s court the past few days, but
some business has been transacted on a
strictly cash basis. The mayor has
been considering for some time the
feasibility of inaugurating the cash or
barter business, and upon trial it works
well and gives a great quantity of satis
faction on both sides of the house.
Burl Mangun and his better half, col
ored, were up before his Honor a day or
two ago upon a charge of fighting and
disorderly. The fight was between Burl
and his mate and the disorder was created
thereby. They were let off with light
fines, as it was all in the family.
Thomas Randolph, colored, it appeared
from the evidence, bad supplied Austin
Chamblee, colored, and others of his ilk
with a half pint of whisky. For this
goodness of heart and liberality of spirit
Tom was cleaned out to the tune of $lO
and costs. If Tom sold Austin the liquor
he would not possibly have received
therefor more than 25 cents. Counting it
at that sum there might be some interest
ing figuring done as to the profit and loss
in the transaction.
John Gaston and Emory Boring con
tributed $1 and costs each in payment
for a little amusement in the shape of be
ing the promoters of a fight between two
little negroes at the Southern depot.
The negroes were fined, too, but the fine
was remitted under the circumstances.
John Buffington and Dave Gaines, col
ored employees at the Arlington Hotel,
had a little spat. About all the damage
done in the fight was received by an iron
weight which John hit Dave with. John
plead guilty to the charge of fighting
and was relieved of $3 and costs. Dave
was tried, found guilty, and hit for the
sum of $5 and costs.
At Work on the Auditorium.
The contract for building this magnifi
cent structure has been let to Mr. G. W.
Foote, architect, of Atlanta. He it was
who drew the plans and made the speci
fications.
Among a number of bids his was the
lowest by $6,000, and therefore the con
tract was given him without delay.
In estimates made for brick not one of
the bidders had estimated less than
1,000,000. Mr. Foote’s estimate in this
direction was 560,000. The brick used
will be procured from our home manu
facturers, and a better quality cannot be
found.
The wood work, as far as practicable,
will be of timber from the hills and val
leys of Northeast Georgia. It will, how
ever, be necessary to use some timber
from the forests of South Georgia.
Work on the ground is now in prog
ress, and as the excavation is going on a
large swimming and bath pool is being
dug under the building. It will be about
10 feet deep, 40 feet wide and 150 feet
long.
Mr. Foote will begin operations just as
soon as the preparations are perfected,
which, with the way the work is being
pushed, will not be long.
At the First Baptist.
The Union Meeting of the 3d district
of the Chattahoochee Baptist Association
convened with the First Baptist church
in this city last Friday, and continued
until Sunday.
A number of good sermons were
preached, many queries asked and an
swered, views exchanged and methods
discussed.
Every one who attended was pleased,
edified, fortified and strengthened.
These union meetings are held by the
several districts in the Association quar
terly, including each sth Sunday in the
year, and as educators are quite a suc
cess.
Wasn’t Fire This Time.
Major Butt of the Hudson House just
keeps on having trouble with some of
the bloods who board at this house.
Tuesday night the major left the key to
the cigar case in the lock. McElmurray
and Robbins found it and proceeded to
take all the cigars out and hide them.
Wednesday morning patrons wanted
cigars and the major couldn’t find one.
After declaring that somebody had stolen
them, he sat calmly down, whereupon
Me. and Robbins produced the cigars in
short order.
Hail! Glorious Spring.
A pretty good chunk of a hail storm
passed through Candler Monday evening.
It extended over a territory of several
miles, operating extensively between
Candler and Pendergrass.
The regulation size of hail stones—
large as hen eggs—was on hand ani in
splendid condition.
The children of Dr. McAfee, at- Can
dler, were out doors when the storm
came, and although near the house, were
considerably banged and bruised before
they could reach its friendly shelter.
Capt. Gus Clark of the G. J. & S. rail
road said he could have loaded two cars
with hail stones Tuesday morning at
Candler.
They are Still Coming.
Under the head of Announcements it
will be seen that W. R. Robertson will
again ask the people of Hall for their
votes for the office of Tax Receiver. Ru
fus has made a highly efficient officer,
and is a fine man besides. He is genial,
courteous, polite, and consequently has
a friend in every one.
Col. J. E. Redwine is announced by
his friends for State Senator. The Col.
is one of our best citizens, with consid
erable legislative experience, and is well
known in Banks and Jackson; and in
Hall no one is better known or more
highly esteemed by the people.
Col. Estes and H. W. J. Ham are being
mentioned by a large number of people,
and it is more than likely that other can
didates will be in the field for the Sena
torship.
Dave Jarrett will have his announce
ment in for the legislature next week.
Bud Smith says he will be in the race
for sheriff. Andy Mundy says the same
of himself.
Entertainment by Miss Crawford’s Senior
Class.
Miss Crawford’s Seniors in Elocution
will give a recital in Bailey Chapel Fri
night at 8 o’clock. They will be assisted

tumed in their graduating uniform.
A cordial invitation to the public to at
tend is extended. There will be no
charge for admission.
Protracted Meeting.
Services will begin at Chestnut Street
church next Sunday morning at 11
o’clock and will, D. V., be continued at
night through the week following.
Rev. W. J. Wootten of Norcross, the
pastor, will spend the week with his
people, doing pastoral work during the
day and preaching at night.
All are cordially invited to attend the
services.
JOHN AND HIS WIFE
And Their Jug of Ardent Made a Boom in
in the Pigs’ Feet Market.
Soon after U. S. Deputy Marshal Har
bison arrived home last Saturday from
Gainesville he and the town marshal had
a race after John Postell and his wife,
from Union county. They had been ped
dling liquor in the woods near town all
day. The two made their escape and the
officers returned with two empty jugs
and a measuring cup. The liquor cer
tainly had a good effect on some of the
boys, for that night thej 7 were chock full
of fun, and one bought a dollar and fif
teen cents worth of pickled pigs feet,
which were soon devoured and relished
very much.
A rich gold vein has been discovered
this week on the property of Dr. Jones
by Joseph Howell. It is less than half a
mile from the court house.
The clerk and the sheriff are busy get
ting ready for court, which convenes on
the 20th instant. The criminal docket
will be heavy, as there are seven cases on
it for felony.
James Walker, a prisoner at the county
jail, has been awarded the contract for
carrying the mail from Dahlonega to
Porter Springs.
There is still a payment of about SBOO
on the new iron bridge at Leathers’s
Ford unsettled. The money has been in
the treasury several months, but who
ever holds the o. der or note has failed to
present it. It is believed it is being kept
back in order for the holder to draw the
interest. If the treasurer was to refuse
to pay any interest from the time the
money was ready it would likely cause
an early presentation and settlement.
Some days ago two well known females
who inhabit the Richmond House in
Gainesville, came upon the Hatfield hack
line and stopped at the Adams Inn.
Both were dressed in the finest and latest
fashion, while one looked through beau
tiful glasses encased in gold. A certain
official member of the M. E. church upon
hearing of their arrival decided that the
accommodations at this inn were not
ample enough for the couple who had
come into our midst, and good Samaritan
like, secured a vacant house in the su
burbs of Dahlonega, had it furnished,
and the “ladies” removed to it, where
they spent the night. Next morning the
toothpick shoe tracks were as thick to
this house -as pig tracks to a blockade
distillery. Next morning the women
were informed by the marshal that Dah
lonega needed no new recruits and they
would have to either leave or go to the
calaboose. They returned to Gainesville.
County Treasurer Jackson will soon
move into his new residence.
Notwithstanding the railroad is a dead
egg, there is a good deal of improvement
going on in Dahlonega.
A gentleman has been here from Can
ton several days endeavoring to buy up
cattle to ship to that place.
Capt. Ingersoll, superintendent of the
Hand Gold Mining Co., has adopted a
plan which, when any of his employees
drink whisky, will be of much more
benefit to their families than the temper
ance society. When any of them get
drunk he discharges them.
James T. Grindle and Col. W. A. Char
ters will likely be in the field for legisla
tive honors.
Sheriff Pruitt succeeded in arresting
Bill Crain one day last week. Bill has
been on the alert since last court. He
was charged with being engaged in a
riot. Bond was given.
Maj. Baldwin’s letter to Col. Charters
recently shows that the building of the
Dahlonega railroad is all a flash. It cost
much more, according to estimates, than
the company wished to invest.
Editor McNelly of the Nugget doesn’t
care now whether Dahlonega has a rail
road or not. He struck the much-talked
of 12 foot vein at the Lockhart last week,
and has been going around showing a
handfull of the shining rocks and look
ing as happy as a big sunflower. It is
the richest discovery we have seen since
the Preacher mine was opened up.
Workmen are now engaged in building
the new and beautiful residence of Dr.
Whelchel. Not long since the doctor
was speaking of going West, but this in
dicates that he has changed his mind.
CLINCHEM.
C. F. Johnson has been very sick for
several days, but, we are glad to know,
is better at this time.
Miss Lemar Duncan has returned home
from Perry-Rainey College, where she
has been in school for some time.
The farmers think it best to cut their
cotton crops a little, as it will take some
time to jower with the candidates later
on.
We heard of a young man who was
courting in slavery time some distance
from home. The girl’s father owned a
large lot of negroes. The young man
wanted them to think he was wealthy.
So he would say in talking that he was
very tired, as he and forty more had been
doing some very heavy work. Later on
they married, and when the girl got to
her new home behold his father only had
one old darkey and his name was Forty
Moore. The old darkey was box ankled
and knock-kneed and not more than half
a negro at best. Just such a boy ought
to have been killed for lying.
JARRETT.
“Hello pap”! says some of our mis
chievous boys to Jas. B. Hudgins, and
Jim gets red and screws down the corn
ers of his mouth and says, “Boys, don’t
make sport of my girl.”
Mrs. Louis Burton is dangerously ill at
present, and is said to have typhoid fever.
The infant child of Mr. John Coussons
of Jackson was buried at Harmony
church yard last Saturday.
Victor West planted some cotton seed
on the 25th instant. It is said that the
early bird gets the worm, but we’ve an
idea that his cotton will get frost.
Corn is being planted, whippowills are
whistling, peach trees are blooming, our
girls are coming out in spring hats and
light dresses and nice boquets, and the
advancing of spring is otherwise being
observed.
Dr. McKinny left for Gainesville last
week. He became ill himself while
down here, and while coumpounding
medicines put in some dangerous and
needless properties, and consequently be
came unpopular.
GILLSVILLE.
This community was saddened Sunday
by the death of Mrs. B. F. Suddath. Mrs.
Suddath was about sixty years of age at
the time of her death, and had long been
esteemed by all who knew her as a
lovable Christian lady of many noble
traits and beautiful virtues. Rev. R. D.
Hawkins, assisted by Rev. W. T. Hamby,
conducted the funeral services Monday
morning from the home and the remains
were tenderly laid to rest in the family
burying-ground.
Peculiarly sad,' also, was the death of
Miss Minnie Henderson, which occurred
near this place a few days ago. A lovely
young woman, just grown, endowed with
many personal charms and graced with
numerous accomplishments, her death
seemed indeed untimely. Measles caused
her death.
Sunday at the residence of the bride’s
father, Mr. John Presley and Miss Ver
dena Brooks were united in marriage by
Squire S. S. Cranford. Both the contract
ing parties are splendid young folks and
merit the many kind wishes extended
them by their friends.
The Gillsville High School pupils gave
a very enjoyable and a very successful
entertainment Friday night for the pur
pose of raising funds to comfortably seat
the chapel.

Sets Himself Right.
Editor Eagle : In reading your com
ments in last week’s issue touching upon
my recommendation of Dr. G. W. Pat
terson as the nominee for Congress on
the Republican ticket, the people at
large may infer that I knew of the charge
against him, and that I had committed
an error, or worse. People that know
me should know that I demand clean
men in all positions.
During my acquaintance with Dr. Pat
terson, which has been close, I have
found him to be honest and upright, and
I knew nothing of the charges against
him when I wrote my letter of recom
mendation to the “Republican.”
A word as to Registration : When I
registered here the books did not show
any oath that I was required to take ;
neither was any thing said to me of what
was required of me in that line. I knew,
however, that I was an American citizen,
a resident of Hall county, and had no
charges against me, public or private.

If a small bottle of Shaker Digestive
Cordial does you no good, don’t buy a
large one.
“Prove all things ; hold fast that which
is good.” It’s not good for everybody,
only for the thin, pale, sick, weak and
Jeary. For those who are starving for
ant of digested food. For those who
dannot get fat or strong, because their
stomachs do not work as they ought to.
These are the people, millions of them,
whom Shaker Digestive Cordial will cure.
Food makes strength, muscle, brain,
blood, energy—after it is digested. If
not digested it will do you no good at all.
Shaker Digestive Cordial helps your
stomach to digest your food and cures in
