Payment of Teachers Delayed.
The school teachers of the state will
uot get their money for the month of
January before March Ist, and it may be
even later.
This announcement, in view of the fact
that the law was changed January Ist,
making provision for the payment of
teachers monthly, will cause some sur
prise and will be read with interest by
the teachers throughout the county.
A lengthy conference was held Satur
day between the governor, the state
school commissioner and the state treas
urer, and it was agreed that the teachers
would be paid March Ist for one month.
The second month may be paid by
April Ist or April 10th, or later, perhaps.
The payment of the teachers depends
upon the condition of the treasury. If
the money is in the treasury at that time
the payment will be made; if 'not, then
the teachers will wait until the money is
ready.

Seminary Avenue.
Bast Oak street is* no more. At least
the city fathers say so. The drive-way
which leads from Main street, opposite
the northeast corner of the Hunt house
property to Race street, terminating im
mediately in front of the Georgia Female
Seminary, will no longer be called East
Oak street but will hereafter be known
as Seminary Avenue, the name having
been changed by a unanimous vote of
the city council* at a meeting held last
Thursday night. The council acted on a
petition of the property holders on this
end of the street who desired that the
name be changed. Nobody offered an
objection and the name was changed
without a dissenting vote.
Grip’s Ravages Doomed.
So much misery and so many deaths
have been caused by the Grip, that every
one should know what a wonderful rem
edy for this malady is found in Dr. King’s

born cough, that inflames your throat,
robs you of sleep, weakens your system
and paves the way for Consumption is
quickly atopped by this matchless cure.
If you have chills and fever, pain in the
back of the head, soreness in bones and
muscles, sore throat and that cough that
grips your throat like a vice, you need
Dr. King’s New Discovery to cure your
Grip, and prevent Pneumonia or Con
sumption. Price 50c. and sl. Money
back if not cured, a trial bottle free at

One Wounded—None Killed.
The battle with the Ice King was
fierce during the first days of the week
but no casualties are reported except iu
the case of one veteran of the Spauish-
American war. This veteran, Ezra Pil
grim, exposed his nose to the rapid and
fearful blasts while on a forced march
from his boarding house to a more cen
tral position in the interior of the city.
He has no one to blame but himself as
he had no orders to do anything so im
prudent. .
The wound is commonly called a frost
bite. It looks a little angry but will not
prove serious.

Mrs. McCants Dead.
Mrs. Martha McCants died at her home
in Hoschton from pneumonia Sunday
morning at the mature age of 65 years.
She was a good woman and much loved
by the people of Hoschton, among whom
she spent the last years of her life.
Her remains were brought here Mon
day and buried by the side of her hus
band, whose death occurred about 8
years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. McCants were former res
idents of this city and had not moved
their membership from the First Meth
odist church here.
The funeral service was to have been
conducted from the First Methodist
church at 1 o’clock, but owing to the
late arrival of the train the remains weie
carried immediately to the cemetery.
Mrs. McCants leaves one son, W. B.
McCants, and a host of friends.
Winter Boarders Satisfied
There are quite a number of winter
visitors in the city who came here be
cause of our temperate climate and the
dryness of the atmosphere. They are
stopping at the different hotels and
boarding houses, and we are glad to say
they are not discouraged by reason of
the recent cold weather, nor are they
desirous of going further South into the
malarial section. This is the climate
they want and this is the climate they
are satisfied with even during the sever
est weather yet recorded in this section.

Mrs. Townsend Dead.
Mrs. Annie Townsend of Dawson
county, died last Wednesday after being
confined to her room for many months.
She had been ill for a long time, but was
improving when early in the fall she fell
and broke her hip. From that time on she
suffered intensely until the end came.
Her remains were interred Friday at
Liberty church near her house.
She leaves four children, three boys
W. H., J. S. and S. E. Taylor of this city,
and one daughter, Mrs. Mattie Robertson
of Dawson county.
An Honest Medicine for LaGrippe.
George W. Waitt of South Gardiner,
Me., says: “I have had the worst cough,
cold, chills and giip and have taken lots
of trash of no account but profit to the
vendor. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
is the only thing that has done any good
whatever. I have used one 50-cent bottle
and the chills, cold and grip have all
left me. I congratulate the manufac
turers of an honest medicine.” For sale

How the Poor were Supplied.
The recent cold weather caused con
siderable suffering in the city among the
poorer class, especially among those who
were without wood or coal when the
blizzard set in.
The city authorities were quick to act
and much suffering was prevented. The
city teams were put to work hauling
wood and by Sunday night, which proved
to be the coldest of them all, 38 two
horse loads of wood had been distributed
among the poor who were unable to buy
it. Several loads were sold to the poor,
who not geb wood elsewhere in
time to prevent suffering. In this way
the city authorities furnished fuel to
those who could not get it.
The rush at the wood and coal yards
was greater than ever before known in
the history of the city, and as late as
Tuesday morning we were informed, at
one of the yards, that it was 179 loads
behind and orders were still pouring in
on them. But for the aid of the city
suffering from cold would have been far
reaching.
Other than this applications for aid
were very slight. The city authorities
experienced no difficulty in meeting all
other legitimate demands. No public
subscription was necessary to raise funds
for charitable purposes.
It seems, however, that no condition
confronts a people without there being
some-present who have an eye to busi
ness and who make the best of the sit
uation.
Several of our colored citizens made
several defies by speculating on wood,
and came into competition with the deal
ers in coal and wood without paying a
business tax. In the name of charity
they would buy a load of wood and get
it hauled to them. They would then
sell it to their less fortunate neighbor
by the wheelbarrowfnl at a profit that
would make a pawn-broker turn green
with envy. While mercury was tip-toe
ing to tickle the heel of zero and, while
thus playing such pranks, was catching
the gaze of every passer-by, this wood
speculation was going merrily on in the
dusky portion of the city.
Miss Gaston to Wed Mr. Dickinson.
A marriage of great interest in north
Georgia will occur at the First Methodist
church in Gainesville on the 29th day of
March. It is that of Mr. G. E. Dickinson,
of Savannah, and Miss Georgia Gaston,
of this city.
Miss Gaston is the daughter of Judge
J. B. Gaston, one of Gainesville’s wealth
iest and most prominent citizens and the
present mayor. She is a young lady of
charming personality and is very pop
ular among a host of friends and admir
ers throughout the state. She is a grad
uate of the Boston Conservatory of
Music, and the sweetness of her voice
cannot be over-estimated.
The man who has won so fair a bride
is well worthy of that honor. Mr. Dick
inson is a wealthy cotton broker of
Savannah,, and a man of fine character
and fine family.
W. B. Clements Badly Hurt.
W. B. Clements was seriously hurt last
Saturday afternoon while stacking bran
in the ware-rooms of W. J. & E. C. Palm
our. Just how the accident occurred no
one seems to know, but while engaged
in the work he fell. Two sacks of bran
fell on him crushing him to the floor.
When the sacks were removed it was
found that his thigh was broken just
below the hip. Dr. W. A. Palmour was
called and had the patient moved to his
house near the Southern depot where the
fractured limb was set and the suffering
man made as comfortable as possible.
Mr. Clements is past the meridian of
life, consequently he will be confined at
his home for some time.
Commissioners Did Not Meet.
The Board of County Commissioners
did not meet Monday morning. Dr. E.
E. Dixon, the chairman, was confined to
his room from grip. F. T. Davie had
previously served notice on the other
members that he could not be present.
J. R. Whaley, the third member, could
not attend to business alone, hence there
was no meeting, and all matters which
the Board must pass on are held up for
the present.
A Saturday Night Frolic.
Carter Thomas, Peter Jackson, Seab
Brown and Jim Sims, all colored and
bloods of the servant department of the
Arlington hotel, went out on a lark Sat
urday night.
They bad been paid off and they felt
“de wedder” in their bones. And to warm
themselves up they held an out-door jub
ilee on Summit street and disturbed the
peace and good order of the community
to the tune of $6 each.
Their trials came off Tuesday after
noon which were the first cases tried by
the Mayor during the present month.
A Faithful Officer.
The poorer class of people should feel
grateful and all should duly appreciate
the special efforts of Walter Wills to
prevent them from suffering from cold
during the extreme cold weather. He
wrapped himself up and spent every hour
of the day with the street force in the
woods, on the city’s property, cutting
wood and having it hauled to those who
were without it. In all, he had cut and
delivered more than one hundred loads
during the coldest days.

A College ft r Y jung Men.
Mr. Editor : Please allow me to ten
der you many thanks for your very ex
cellent article in your last issue under
the above heading.
Save the personal reference, it would
make a good campaign document for
this section on education. I wish in this
communication to express my special
thanks to our many goad citizens who
have so cordially and unanimously en
dorsed this college movement. I hope
they will stand with me until we demon
strate that such an instituiion has be
come a sine qua non to the intellectual,
moral and religious development and
maintenance of this entire section. As
you very aptly note in your most excel
lent article, the material and physical
resources, God-given boons, are all that
could be wished for the founding and
fostering of such an institution of learn
ing.
I should be glad to help rear such an
institution for young men in our city
which would be a like credit to our great
commonwealth and entire South, as is
the G. F. S. & C. of M., whose inspiring
and exhilerating atmosphere we love to
breathe, and whose music and classic
halls have become the synonym of un
precedented success.
I should be glad to so touch the ear
and heart of our entire people, on this
educational issue, as to warrant their
most judicious and helpful counsel. May
I not hope for that hearty co-operation
still which knows no faltering but sur
mounts every obstacle and leads to suc
cess? In the providence of God I have
cast my lot in the midst of this generous
people and salubrious clime to add my
little mite to her broadest and best
philanthropic interests.
In addition to a splendid institution of
learning, I should love to see planted and
opened in our city a Library Hall, to
which our young women and men could
hourly turn in search of that intellectual
lore whose quickening touch and in
spiring influence would lead to ever
widening fields of research.
Again thanking you for past favors, I
am, • Respectfully, J. A. Bell.

You know why? Most diseases begin fH
disorders of stomach, liver, kidneys,
bowels, blood and nerves. Electric Bit
ters tones up the stomach, regulates the

blood, strengthens the nerves, hence
cures multitudes of maladies. It builds
up the entire system. Puts new life and

N. A. Manning left the city for
Little Rock, Ark., two weeks ago to
take a situation with Haverty Rhodes

safely and immediately entered upon
his Julies as book-keeper. It was his
misfortune, however, to step on a
banana peeling after leaving the
store, which caused him to fall and
severely sprain his wrist, the right
wrist of course.

had a tough time of it, but now is
about well.
Women Should Know It.
Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb trou
ble or female weakness of some sort is
responsible for the many ills that beset
womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull ache
in the back, weakness or bearing-down
sensation, profuse or scanty supply of
urine with strong odor, frequent desire
to pass it with scalding or burning sensa
tion, sediment in it after standing in bot
tle or common glass for twenty-fonr
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder
trouble.
The above symptoms are often attrib
uted by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain
relief, because they are treating, not the
disease itself, but a reflection of the pri
mary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder trou
ble and both need the same remedy.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, and is easy to get at
any drug store for fifty cents or one dol
lar.
To prove its wonderful merits you may
have a sample bottle and book telling all
about it, both sent absolutely free by
mail. Kindly mention the Gainesville

Proved to Be a Friend In Need
Interesting Statement.
M I was in good health up to about 16
years ago, when I began to suffer from
constipation and piles, and neglect of
* cold brought on catarrh, followed by
heart difficulty, and liver and kidney
troubles. My constitution fought against
them all, until my suffering drove me to
consultation with my father, who was a
physician. He advised me to take Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. Having confidence in his
judgment I began taking the medicine, to
gether with Hood’s Pills, and I ended
with them, taking no other medicines,
and the benefits I have derived from them
have been great and surprising. Since
then Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been to me.
as my husband says, ‘a friend in need’.”
