The court house has recently been scoured and renovated from cellar to garret. Ed Davidson, who has been in Florida for several weeks, returned Tuesday night much improved in health. Miss Lizzie Holland, who has been 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 by the Physical Culture Class, which will give a very pretty exhibition, cos 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. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

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. W. H. Warner. BIG HICKORY. Everybody says that they believe Col. 11. IL Perry is honest and would make a proficient member if elected; but all do not coincide with his financial views. Miss Nancy Loden and Mr. Joe Elrod were married last Tuesday evening.

Chandler, of Towns sounty, on yesterday, and as an evidence of their respect and admiration for him they held a meeting at the Custom House and passed resolutions of regret and extending sympathy to his bereaved family. Deputy Marshal W. O. Johnson was called to the chair and Deputy Marshal J. G. Dunlap was requested to act as sec retary. The chairman appointed the following committee to draft suitable resolutions on the death of Mr. Chandler: B. B. Landers, E. T. Cason, A. M. Burrell, J. W. Jones, M. W. Scott, J. W. Holmesand J. V.
