A bold robbery and destructive fire
occurred last Wednesday night at
John D. Garner’s home, on the Chat

robbed of a considerable sum of
money. The papers in the safe were
either destroyed by the fire that fol

barn and its contents, including corn
and fodder, were burned.
The loss falls very heavy on Air.
Garner. It is reported that there
was 12,700 in the safe, besides val

loss, as was the barn.

The Cowboy in Town.
W. W.'Wilson of Buford spent Sunday
in the city, the guest of his son, W. A.
iVilson. Mr. Wilson has just been
elected Mayor of Buford and was feeling
unusually well. He was quite modest
about how he told his friends of his suc
cessful race. He would at least tell
them howdy, first.
In his paper, the Plow Boy, Brother
Wilson is probably the fiercest and most
rantankerous and blood-thirsty Populist
now at large. From reading his paper
you woutd think he ate rattlesnakes and
railroad iron and slept in trees, but you
would be sadly mistaken. He is the
most amiable and “mildest mannered
man that ever scuttled ship or cut a
throat.” He came up to the Editor’s
house last Sunday and the children
climbed upon his knees and warmed to
him as they would to old Santa Claus him
self. We confess we felt a little jubus at
first, lest a political spell might come on
him and he would swallow them.
But he didn’t, and the little misguided
things cried after him when he came to
leave. And let us tell you that Brother
Wilson is not balf as bad as he lets on.
How to Prevent Pneumonia.
1 ou are perhaps aware that pneumonia
always results from a cold or from an at
tack of lagrippe. During the epidemic
of lagrippe a few years ago when so many
cases resulted in pneumonia, it was ob
served that the attack was never followed
by that disease when Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts
any tendency of a cold or lagrippe to re
sult in that dangerous disease. It is the
best remedy in the world for bad colds
and lagrippe. Every bottle warranted.

A New Opera House.
A splendid, well equipped, up-to-date
opera house for Gainesville, which will
be in keeping with the progress the city
has made in the past few years, has been
much desired for a long time. Some
time ago some mention was made of the
probable organization of a company to
erect one on C. S. Webb’s lot on Main
street. The names of some of our most
public-spirited men were associated with
it and the scheme met with popular
favor, but for some reason the structure
was not built, to the deep regret of eveiy
one.
The prospects are now bright for an
opera house adequate to the demands of
the best foreign troupes and our own
home people. We mentioned last week
that J. H. Hunt bad purchased the
Stringer Opera House. When he pur
chased it he had a well equipped opera
and banking house in his mind. Archi
tects are now putting his thoughts into
plans and figuring on the cost of execut
ing them.
His bank will be in the corner of the
building next to the square, and the en
trance will be similar in appearance to
that of the State bank. The opera house
proper will be completely remodeled.
The rear, at least, will be raised so as to
arrange for scenery, and unless the cost
is too great the entire building will be
raised and a gallery put in.
Many Seekers.
The election of bailiffs is over and now
comes the election of Notary Public by
the grand jury. Gainesville district fur
nished five candidates for the people to
select two bailiffs from, and we are in
formed that the names of as many can
didates for the office of Notary Public
will be presented to the grand jury.
Our people are ambitious, and they do
not propose to force the community or
the grand jury to go out and hunt for
patriotic men to fill the public offices.
They not only furnished material to se
lect from, but go further and furnish a
plenty of it, all of whom show a willing
heart and a ready disposition to accept
the public trust without a murmur.

LaGrippe Successfully Treated.
“I have just recovered from the secoud
attack of lagrippe this year,” says Mr.
James A. Jones, publisher of the Leader,
Mexia, Texas. “In the latter case I used
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and I
think with considerable success, only be
ing in bed a little over two days against
ten days for the former attack. The sec
ond attack I am satisfied would Lave
been equally as bad as the first but for
the use of this remedy as I had to go to
bed in about six hours after being ‘struck’
with it, while iu the first case I was able
to attend to business about two days be
fore getting ‘down.’ ” For sale by M. C.

Fixing the Court Room.
Considerable work is being done in the
Superior court room this week pre
paratory to the opening of the January
term of court next Monday. The old
carpet has been taken up, tbe floor clean
ed, and a new carpet put down. The
space on the inside of the bar has been
diminished by moving the enclosure up
nearer the Judge’s stand, together with
other minor changes.
Two new heaters have been ordered
and will be put up instead of the two old
stoves which have heretofore been in
use.
His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of
Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful
deliverance from a frightful death. In
telling of it he says : “I was taken with
Typhoid Fever, that ran into pneumonia.
My lungs became hardened. I was so
weak I couldn’t even sit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to soon
die of consumption, when I heard of Dr.
King’s New Discovery. One bottle gave
great relief, and I continued to use it,
and now am well and strong. I can’t
say too much in its praise. This mar
velous medicine is the surest and quick
est cure in the world for all throat and
lung trouble. Regular size 50 cents and
SI.OO. Trial bottle free at M. C. Brown &
Co’s drug store; every bottle guaranteed.
Dr. Ryder Hurt.
Dr. C. A. Ryder happened to a painful
accident Monday morning while moving
a hen-house in his yard. The Doctor
and his assistants decided to move the
house by sections. They tore the plates
from the studding and lifted the <;oof off
and removed it to the desired place, and
while putting it up on stilts so that the
body of the house could be brought un
der it a prop slipped and one corner of
the roof fell on tbe Doctor’s head, pro
ducing an angry looking contusion, and
mashed him down under its weight. As
he fell forward the nails in the timbers
tore hi* coat in several places but none
of them penetrated the flesh.
The Doctor enjoys the distinction of
having a several hundred pound weight
lifted from his shoulders during the first
month of the year.

Miss Hattie Patterson Shot.
Miss Hattie Patterson, daughter of H.
F. Patterson of Murrayville, was acci
dentally shot through the thigh Tuesday
of Christmas week. The news of tbe
accident reached the city last week, but
no one could be found to confirm the
report and none of the details could be
had. Mr. Patteison, the father of tbe
young lady, was in the city Tuesday and
said that the rumor was true. That
Calvin Smith had come to bis house for
a hunt. He leaned his gun against the
door of one of the end rooms and came
in the house. While they were all ou
the inside Miss Hattie went to the door
and on opening it the gun fell, the ham
mer struck tbe doorsill, causing the gun
to be discharged, the load passing
through her thigh, making a terrible
wound.
Drs. T. O. Castleberry and A. J. Cav
ender were called in and under their
treatment the wound is healing and the
young lady doing as well as could be
expected.
The friends of Mr. Patterson deeply
sympathize with him and Miss Patterson
and trust that the wound may speedily
heal.
Pitts’ Carminative is pleasant to the
taste, acts promptly, and never fails to
give satisfaction. It carries children
over the critical period of teething. A
few doses will demonstrate its superla
tive virtues. Ask for Pitts’ Carminative.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care aud skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given .to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company
