J. C. Hill has been in Greenwood,
S. C., this week looking after bis
business interest 8 there.
E. C. Palrnour, one of Gainesville’s
prince merchants, paid our city a
visit first of this week. You must
ask Ed the attraction over this way
as we do not wish to tell tales out of
school.—Dawsonville Advertiser.
Miss Susie Hill of Greenwood, S.
C , returned home this morning after
a pleasant stay of three weeks in the
city, the guest of her cousin, Miss
Clara Hill, on E. Broad street.
General S. A. Moreno of Pensa
cola, Fla., is visiting his brother,
Major T. Moreno. General Moreno
came up for his health and will prob
ably be with us for two or three
weeks. He is an interesting talker
and was a gallant officer during the
civil war. We trust that our climate
may prove a tonic to him.
Miss Leila Richey and Miss Claude
Telford of Harmony Grove are spend
ing the weekin the city, the guests
of their uncle, W. L. Telford.
W. A. Wood is goir.g to utilize bis
water power at his tannery by put
ting in a large gristmill. Nearly all
of the machinery is in place now and
the mill will be in operation in a few
days.
Mrs. G. P. Boone and children,who
have been been visiting relatives in
Maysville and Athens for the past
few weeks, returned home Saturday.
Had Lots of Pills.
Ben West, while on a spree yesterday
afternoon, was found with a quantity of
medicine in his pockets which he could
not account for, and was arrested by
Chief of Police Smith, who turned him
over to Sheriff Mundy, lie is suspected
of having stolen the goods from E. E.
Dixon Co. yesterday morning, as he was
at their store in the morning wandering
through it while all of the salesmen were
busy.
In the afternoon he came back to their
store with two large bottles of medicine,
the seal of which had not been broken,
which is dealt in exclusively by E. E.
Dixon & Co. at this place. West was
then drunk and would only say that he
came by the medicine honestly. After
sobering up he says that he does not
know whore the medicine came from and
did not even know he had it.
_ A Flour Mill.
G. G. Buyevs is in receipt of a letter
from his brother-in-law, W. 11. Gould,
of Springfield, Mo., stating that a friend
of his desires to come South and put up
a flouring mill with the patent roller
process with a capacity of 100 barrels of
flour per day. The plant will cost not
less than $50,000. He will establish the
plant in Gainesville on condition that the
site and building will be furnished by
our citizens.
Mr. Byers is at work on the matter and
hopes to get our citizens to comply with
the demands, as such a mill would be
worth a groat deal to this entire section.
It would materially encourage the wheat
industry and prove a great benefit in
many ways.
Post-office will Move.
It is now definitely settled that the
post-office will be moved to the Hudson
house. Col. Farrow has received author
ity to move it from the Fiist Assistant
Postmaster-General.
He was seen this morning and said
that he hoped to be in his new quarters
by the first of February. The fixtures
will arrive by the last of next week and
will be put in without a moment’s delay.
The Government now pays S3OO rent
for the present office and will pay th*
same for the other.
The hotel office will be moved up-stairs
immediately over the present office. The
hotel office was originally up-stairs.
In a Collar Machine.
Will Porter, one of tho proprietors of
tho Gainesville Steam Laundry, had his
hand and arm caught in a collar and
cuff machine yesterday and badly mash
ed.
Tho hand and arm were not mashed as
flat as collars and cuffs are which pass
through it, but nevertheless the mash is
a very painful one, aud will be some time
before he can use the arm again.
The wounded limb was dressed by Drs.
W. G. Ham aud K. A. Smith.
What is
Scott’s
Emulsion?
It is a strengthening food and
tonic, remarkable in its flesh-form
ing properties. It contains Cod-
Liver Oil emulsified or partially
digested, combined with the well
known and highly prized Hypo
phosphites of Lime and Soda, so
that their potency is materially
increased.
WMF If
It will arrest loss of flesh and
restore to a normal condition the
infant, the child and the adult. It
will enrich the blood of the anemic;
will stop the cough, heal the irrita
tion of the throat and lungs, and
cure incipient consumption. We
make this statement because the
experience of twenty-five years has
proven it in tens of thousands of
cases. Be sure you get SCOTT'S Emulsion.

Samps is No More.
Samps Palmour is dead—and who in
North Georgia didn’t know Samps, with
his bright calico rig—calico coat, calico
shirt, calico hat, calico shoe-strings, and
a complement of calico all over his
clothes?
Samps was 84 years old when the King
of Terrors put him on his list. His skin
was black, but everybody gave him a
kind word. He could perform slight-of
hand, talk Indian, and sing fa sol la se
do ray me till you couldn’t rest. Heat
tended all the campmeetings in his juris
diction and never lacked for plenty to
eat.
It used to be said of him that he got
Gus Simmon* to write a letter once. Gus
wrote according to dictation, and when
he thought it was about time to quit he
asked, “Anything more, Samps?” The
old darky studied awhile and said, “I
b’lieve data all. Tell her to scuse bad
writin’ an’ spellin’.”
The Hynds Co. Have Sold.
The Hynds Mfg. Co. have sold their
entire retail business to a number of
young men who organized a company
with a vaid-in capital of $9,000, to be
known as the Gainesville Mdse. Co., with
Fuller & Newman as managers.
The Hynds Mfg. Co. will in futur* de
vote its entire energies to its manufac
turing interests and the wholesale busi
ness, The company is now moving its
offices to the shoe factory. An office
will also be opened in the wholesale de
partment in the Dixon A Brown building,
on Main street.
The new concern, ths Gainesville'
Mdse. Co., will occupy the Candler build
ing on the corner of Main and Broad
streets, formerly known as the retail de
partment of the Hynds Mfg. Co., and
used by it for that purpose.
The Gainesville Mdse. Co. is composed
of excellent and trained business men
and will no doubt eajoy a splendid trade
from the beginning.
Death of Monroe Chapman.
The remains of Monroe Chapman, who
died at his home in Atlant* last Saturday
morning, were brought here on the ves
tibule Sunday afternoon and interred at
Alta Vista cemetery. The funeral ser
vice was held in Atlanta, at Grace church,
conducted by his pastor, Rev. W. F.
Quillian. Rev. J. M. White conducted
the service at the grave. Mr. Chapmau
was a citizen of Gainesville a number of
years ago and had many relatives and
friends among our people. He was a
contractor, and esteemed by those who
knew him both here and in Atlanta.
He leaves a wife and two children. The
casket was covered with costly flowers
which were offered as a last tribute of
respect to a dead friend.
The Court House Overhauled.
The improvements which were made
at the court house during last wsek add
much to the convenience of the court,
jury, and attorneys, and the machinery
of the court works much easier and dis
patches business much faster.
New heaters have been put in, which
make the room very comfortable.
The old grand jury room to the left of
the judge’s stand as you enter the build
ing has been converted into a consulta
tion room. This is a great convenience
to the lawyers, who formerly used the
traverse jury room, on the opposite side,
at such times as it was not otherwise in
use. The commissioners’ room on the
first floor has been turned over to the
grand jury. This is more convenient for
the grand jury, and decidedly more con
venient to the witnesses who are sum
moned by the jury and forced to wait on
the outside.
The space alloted to the bar and clients
Las been diminished and the jury boxes
re arranged. This brings the machinery
of the court much closer together, and
there is much less difficulty in hearing
witnesses than formerly.

S2O To The Bad.
W. H. Shelton had the misfortune to
lose a S2O bill on the streets Tuesday. It
is supposed that he pulled it from his
pocket as be took out his keys and it
was dropped without his knowledge.
In doing this he did what but few peo
ple could do. It would simply be im
possible for a large percentage, of our
people to lose S2O. At any rate that is
the way the ordinary bill collector thinks
about it.

ESTES AT THE HELM.
Guiding the Judicial Barque Smoothly
O’er the Waters.
Hall Superior Court opened Mom
day morning with his honor J. B.
Estes balancing the scales and wield
ing the gavel.
Solicitor-General Charters was also
on hand to make his maiden effort as
prosecutor of all who had rubbed the
hair of the majesty of the law the
wrong way.
Judge Estes’ charge to the grand
jury is spoken of by all who heard it
as the best ever delivered in our
court house, and we unreservedly
indorse the popular verdict. The
charge was in the highest degree
colloquial. He took the jurors by
the button-holes and said, “Now,
gentlemen, don’t you see it?” And
they did see it, for we never before
saw men take such an absorbing in
terest in a talk.
Judge Estes talked straight from
the shoulder on all matters affecting
the peace, order, and integrity of the
people. The blind tigers, gamblers,
pistol carriers, disturbers of religious
worship all received their share of
condemnation. “Nearly all crime,”
said the judge, “are attributable to
these twin evils—drinking whisky
and carrying pistols.”
He spoke of the court house, that
cost $32,000, and in which every cit
izen of the county should feel a per
sonal pride. Then he spoke of the
old carpets that had just been taken
up saturated through and through
with ambeer—then turning to the
audience he begged them, as lovers
of cleanliness, to not spit on the new
carpets. At this juncture more than
one citizen was seen hustling for a
spittoon.
He spoke of the jail, and charged
the jury to look well to the comfort
of the prisoners, ever mindful that
they were innocent until proven
guilty, and were entitled to the com
forts of warmth, cleanliness, and
wholesome food.
The jury was instructed to exam
ine the paupers’ home and see bow
the inmates were cared for, how they
ate, slept, and what their needs and
comforts were. They were charged
to examine diligently into the offices
and books of the county officers and
see that those officials observed the
law in the minutest particular. Also
to scrutinize the pension rolls and
see to it that no one drew a pension
who was not entitled.
Judge Estes called special atten
tion to the fact that several militia
districts had no court houses, that
they were entitled to them, and
should have them. He charged that
the jury should see to it that the old
records of the county be rebound
and put in proper form for their
preservation.
He spoke of the deplorable condi
tion of the public roads and charged
that road commissioners and over
seers be held strictly to account.
He said that the Lord had sent us
plenty of very wet rain so we might
see the result of failure to put the
roads in good condition while the
weather was dry. He drew an apt
illustration from the Arkansaw Trav
eler about the man who plead ina
bility to cover his house when it was
raining and the absence of utility
when the weather was fair.
When on the question of Roads,
Bridges, and Ferries, he said, “The
county is now in the best condition
ever known. Every bridge is now
free. Stand by your Commissioners.”
At the conclusion of the charge to
the grand jury, the Judge read some
thing to the gentlemen of the bar
regarding the decorum of the court
room and their deportment toward
each other and the bench.
Then Robert J. Swayne of Gordon
county was sworn in as stenographer
for the next four years.
Then the court proceeded to busi
ness, the divorce mill taking pre
cedence.
Solicitor Charters had the rare
luck to catch a hanging case the first
inning, and had no trouble in getting
a conviction—that of Cassius Law.
A pretty solid and unanimous opin
ion has already been formed by the
bar and the bench and the public
that Charters is holding his own in
fine style with the old stagers.
Tom Bell filled the Clerk’s chair
with the ease and dignity of a veteran.
Hi* able assistant, Bill Smith, who
once filled the Clerk’s office, showed
the highest degree of efficiency. Tom
and Bill together constitute a superb
team, and with them the Clerk’s end
of the court moved off without a
hitch or a bobble.
Sheriff Mundy, as he always has,
i had his department in tiptop work
ing order, with a corps of active and
efficient constables to execute his or
ders and those of the court.
All in all, Judge Estes cnteied
upon the first session of his new ju
dicial term under very desirable sur
roundings.
The grand jury organized by elect
ing John D. Bagwell foreman and
S. S. Herrin secretary and the selec
tion of B. L Hawkins as bailiff. The
jury is constituted as follows :
J. D. Bagwell.

The criminal docket was taken up
yesterday morning. The first case
called and put on trial was the State
vs. Cassia* Law, colored, charged
with the murder of Sarah Curry.
The court appointed Dean &
Hobbs and J. O. Adams as counsel
to defend Law. Solicitor-General
Charters was assisted by Howard
Thompson in the prosecution.
The evidence introduced by the
State was strong and conclusive.
After the State had closed Law was
put on the stand and made the fol
lowing statement:
“I was up town at a restaurant,
one Saturday night, me and that girl
(Sarah Curry.) I had been going
with her and fell in love with her.
She asked me for some money and I
didn’t have it and it made her mad
and she cut up right smartly. I did
n’t say anything to her then. I went
on over to Ida Hester’s Saturday
night and stayed awhile, and went
on down to New-town. I waa drink
ing a little, and she said she was go
ing to have a fellow to kill me; and
I was loving her and it nearly run
me crazy and I went on down towp,
and I come in her room nex,t morn
ing and asked her if she was going
to have me killed and she said yes
and I shot. That is all there is of it
and I leave it to the mercy of the
court. It was all over in a minute
aud then I regretted it because I
loved her.”
Short speeches were made by Sol
icitor-General Charters for the State
and H. H. Dean and J. O. Adams
for the defendant.
The jury rendered a vesdict of
guilty of murder without recommen
dation. The condemned man has
not yet been sentenced.
The next case was the State vs.
Jim Jones, charged with burglary.
This is the negro who entered Dave
Lay’s and others’ houses a short time
ago. He entered a plea of guilty and
was sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary.
After dinner the case of the State
vs. Dave Shoemake, charged with
the murder of Mrs. Cross, was begun
and is still on trial. Solicitor-Gen
eral Charters is being assisted by
Howard Thompson. The court ap
pointed W. B. Sloan, Hubert Estes,
L. D. Puckett and S. C. Dunlap, jr.,
to defend Shoemake. All the after
noon was taken up in the examina
tion of witnesses and a general effort
to impeach witnesse*. The argu
ment was begun this morning.
Judge Russell will be present next
Wednesday and preside in cases in
which Judge Estes is disqualified.

A GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
With Proper Efforts Gainesville Has a
Show for It.
The bill introd need in Congress
by Hon. F. C. Tate providing for the
acquisition of a site and the erection
thereon of a suitable building for the
use of the post-office, and other Gov
ernment offices, at Gainesville, Ga.,
has attracted no little attention.
Gainesville is much in need of a pub
lic building in which should be lo
cated, in addition to the post-office,
the offices of the U. S. Commissioner,
Registry in Bankruptcy, Deputy
Collector of Internal Revenue ; and a
well equipped U. S. Assay office.
In view of the bill the Supervising
Architect of the Treasury Depart
ment has written Postmaster Farrow’
asking him to give him the amount
of postal receipts during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1888, and dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30,
1898, the number of persons em
ployed in the post-office then and
now, the amount of rents paid then
and now, the amount of floor space
occupied by the various departments
of the office, the population of the
city in the year 1888 and in the year
1898, and his opinion as to the pros
pective commercial growth of the
city in the next ten years, and the
reasons therefor, and many other
questions of similar character.
Col. Forrow is now collecting data
for an elaborate report of the remark
able progress which the city and
country surrounding it haye made
during the past ten yearn, covering
all of the questions asked by the
Supervising Architect and giving his
opinion as to the prospective com
mercial growth of the city during
the next ten years.
From the city records it is found
that the census of 1890 shows pop
ulation to have been 3,202, and in
1898 to have been 4,767, an increase
in eight years of 1,475.
The taxable property in 1888 was
$1,660,000, in 1898 $2,060,000, which
shows that the value of property in
the city has almost doubled in the
past ten years.
Other reports, which will be for
warded by Col. Farrow will show up
as favorably as wiil that portion
taken from the records of the city.
He, as every citizen is willing to do,
will do all in his power to secure
such a Government building at this
place.
The progress the city has made in
the past ten years is remarkable, and
as it is peculiarly located amid the
moonshiners and in a rich undevel
oped mining section, where an assay
and revenue office are specially
j’eeded, no one will dispute the fact
that no inland city more richly de
serves a Government building of the
character mentioned than Gaines
ville.
This section is rich in natural re
sources and her citizens have forged
forward in a manner which has chal
lenged the admiration of all Geor
gians, and should the Government
recognize our claims no man would
be willing to estimate our possibili
ties during the next ten years. Suit
able lots can be had close in at a
very reasonable figure. The center
of the public square has been sug
gested, as has been vacant lots on
Main and other streets within a
block of the square.
Col. Farrow had inserted in his
contract leasing a portion of the
Hudson house for the post-oflice a
clause stating that the contract ex
pires at the time such a Government
building shall be completed.
LaGrippe Successfully Treated.
“I have just recovered from the second
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 have
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 in the first case I was able
to attend to business about two days be
fore getting ‘down.’ ” For sale by M. C.

You can't keep a good thing down.
News of it travels fast. When things are

Bitters are the best selling bitters I have

disorders of stomach, liver, kidneys, bow
els, blood and nerves. Electric Bitters

Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public

ten million trial bottles of this great

knowing it has absolutely cured thou

How to Prevent Pneumonia.
You 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
aud lagrippe. Every bottle warranted.
