The Gainesville fiajle. GUY CLOPTON, Local Editor. Thursday, October 11, 1900. Mr. Jim Ducket’s friends have been attracted by an unusual smile which has spread all over his face.

We are glad to learn that the manage ment of the Atlanta Fair has set apart a day during the fair which will be known as Brenau Day in honor of Brenau Col lege and Conservatory. The day will be Friday, Oct. 19tb, and on that day the entire college community will go to At lanta in a special car which will be gaily decorated by the Gainesville Woman’s Club. In the afternoon, the musical Faculty of the Conservitory will give a concert before the splendid audience that will greet them from all over the state and we feel that we hazard nothing in saying that visitors to the Fair will be treated to such music as they rarely bear. Dr. Ferrata will play a number of his own compositions and Signor Nicosias will render several numbers which he has composed. A quartette from Gainesville’s band will go with the school and will play an arrangement of Home, Sweet Home, which Dr. Ferrata has gotten up for the occasion. Prof. Van Hoose and Dr. Riley hope that the citizens of Gaines ville will unite with them in their effort to make this one of the greatest days of the Fair and that all who will visit At lanta ddring the Fair will go down on this day, Friday the 19th. We have a college in our midst that ranks with the very best in the south and our people should take a pride in everything look ing to extending its sphere of usefulness. Let all go and help to make Brenau Day a memorable one in the annals of the Fair. Innes and His Band, Tanned and invigorated by their recent season at Atlantic City, and accompanied by a number of well known Operatic Vocalists, are coming to this city in November. No one to whom the great band master is a stranger, would pick him out of a crowd as a musician. He might be hit upon as one of the biggest hearted and most successful of com mercial men. His rich red face and fashionable clothes would forbid the thought that he might be an ordinary commercial man. His glad band, broad gauged smile and roaring laugh would banish a suggestion of his being the originating musical genius that be is. Get him on his feet after dinner and you will feel certain you have made a mistake in introducing him as a musi cian. He will tell stories of the road until bis listeners are in an uproar and then may soberly discuss some question of the day. But never a word about music and the band unless the spread is in relation to them. Gainesville Gets Them. Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Niblack of Virgil, Jackson county, spent yesterday in the city on a shopping expedition. Mr. Niblack will move here with his family the first of next year to avail himself of our educational advantages. He is a gilt-edge citizen. Myrtle Street Church. The exterior work on Myrtle Street church will be finished this week, and we will have the regular Sunday school and church services next Sunday, the 14th. The interior work will not be done until further collections shall have been made. We have bad many liberal donations to this enterprise, and greatly appreciate it. A. A. Tilly.

He was running up the cotton press and when the block had about reached the top some of the machinery gave way and the block fell on him, terribly bruising his face and shoulder. The block weighs several hundred pounds, and the wonder is that he was not crushed to death. Though he is seriously hurt, is is thought he will soon recover, as no bones, with the possi ble exception of his nose, were broken. His face is so swollen that Dr. Rudolph, who went out to dress his wounds, could not tell whether his nose was broken or not. Mixed In Banks. The following result was achieved by the voters of Banks county last week: J. N. Holder (Democrat), Senator, 200. J. K. Thompson (Democrat), Repre sentative, 75. T. T. Hill (Democrat), Ordinary, 130. A. H. Stapler (Populist), Clerk, 22. F. M. Henderson (Populist), Sheriff, 190. Jack Ragsdale (Populist), Tax Col lector, 224. J. E. Porterfield (Populist), Tax Re ceiver, 109. W. L.

Handley, Supreme Secretary of the Fraternal Un ion, will speak at the court bouse Thursday night, the 18th instant. He is an attractive and entertaining speaker. Everybody is invited to come out and hear him. He will entertain you. To Tne Silent City. The two-year-old infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Jobn Smith died Tuesday night at their home near Laurel Hill. Its re mains were buried at Laurel Hill church yesterday. An Artist. Miss Alice Davis has sent to the State Fair a magnificent Art Display of her own production. Miss Davis is an artist who has already won an enviable reputa tion, and her exhibit of pictures at the fair this year will doubtless add much to her fame, as she has sent down her best productions. We are glad that Gaines ville has such an artist, and would not be surprised if she were awarded a medal. Will Enter Business. Will and George Price, who have had good positions as traveling salesmen for some years past, have determined to quit the road and enter business in Gainesville. They will make definite arrangements this week to open business. They are both bright, energetic young men, and Gainesville is the place for young men to enter business, as it is the commercial center for this section. Schools to Open Jan. 1. The county Board of Education met Monday and decided not to open the public schools of the county until Jan uary, 1901. This action on the part of the Board of Education was said to have been in keeping with the wishes of a large majority of the teachers. DOWN WENT McGINTIJI Having Enforced a Direct Progs Upon One Wade, Colored. ■ Jim McGinty was bound over t Jml superior court by Judge Dyer yest morning on the charge of robbery. | It was a rather singular case. In Fef ruary his auut, who lives.near Athe”L rented a horse, mule, and w(o Hugh Wetherly. Wetherly' Gainesville some time ago and of the property. Mrs. McGinty nephew, Jim McGinty, to come here find the property if possible. He fouA the mule at Martin & Hunt’s. gave a bond for the mule? wagon at M. D. Hudson’s and Mr. wR* son gave a bond for it. He found tie horse at Harrison Story’s, a negro vt\o lives several miles out on the ville road. Without any legal an officer be demanded that the negn, Story, bring the horse to Gainesvil?. He had a friend with him that he sad was a bailiff. The negro asked himjfo show his papers and take the horse-1 that he traded for him and got him freqj Joe Davis. McGinty did not have jwy papers, but scared the negro by thrdU® into going before Mr. Hutchins, wt > vouched for the delivery of the horse i Gainesville the following morning. Story swore out a warrant for McGin r Tuesday when he brought the horse the city. The warrant charged Mr. M Ginty with being guilty of V. Towery, who »1-Opre,cr. state, argued that he should be over for robbery. J. O. Adams, wW represented the defendant, said that he was not guilty of anything. Judge Dysr, however, decided to have him give a bond of SIOO for his appearance at the next term of the superior court. Hugh Wetherly, who sold this prop erty, was arrested yesterday 9 miles be- low Athens by Bailiff Smith and brought to the city. When he arrived he promptly waived trial and gave a SIOO bond. He threw a great deal of light on the cases which this transaction will biing into court, and the end is not yet. He is said to have in his possession a let ter from Mrs. McGinty to her son telling him if he could get a certain price for the horse, mule and wagon, to sell them. Mr. Weatherly gave the price, took the letter and a receipt for the money. He then camo to Gainesville and sold them at a nrolit. He showed these documents to the officers late yesterday afternoon, and though no one will talk much about the case, there is reason to believe that there will be some interesting ments in it within the next few days. These written documents will doubtless cause Mrs. McGinty and her son to come into court. The true owners of the property are to be established and when this is done some damage suits may be brought. Weatherly’s father is a large property owner in Clarke county and is expected to arrive in the city today. Mrs. McGinty is said to be wealthy. She, too, is expected to arrivq. in the citp in a few days to investigate matters and assist her nephew in getting out of the trouble he is in. It is a very complicated affair and it is probable that a half dozen or more cases will grow out of it. The officers are quiet. Sheriff Mundy has charge of the horse taken from the negro and is feeding it at some body’a expense. H. S. Wade, who had that had mortgaged MMB for the offense for his appearance at tlffj of the city court. w Pops Buried in Jackson. The following are the majorities of the Democratic nominees in Jackson county in the election last week: J. N. Holder for State Senator, 412. J. R. Hosch and T. H. Niblack for Rep resentatives, 375 and 400, respectively. J. N. Ross for Ordinary, 399. A. C. Appleby for Clerk and Treas urer, 340. W. T. Stevens for Sheriff, 817. G. M. D. Moon for Tax Receiver, 448. A. H. Brock for Tax Collector, 380. C. O. Pittman for Surveyor, 406. L. J. Johnson for Coroner, 415. Total yote, 3,752. Johnson-Floyd. Walter E. Johnson and Miss Francis Floyd were married Sunday evening at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Floyd, in Fork district, Esquire J. R. Mason officiating. The bride is an attractive young lady and her many friends wish her a pleasant voyage through life. The groom is a sob of Geo. W. Johnson and is one of Hall county’s most promising young farmers. His friends congratulate him on the prise he has won. Free Music. The Queen City Band will give a free concert in the center of the public square next Friday evening. The public gen erally is invited to come out and hear some fine music, which will be produced for the love of the thing. Good Local Talent. The concert given at Hunt’s Opera House Monday night for the benefit of the Young Men’s Athletic was a great success. All of the music was produced by local talent—and there is none better. The audience was large and appreciative. Dr. George Woodliff Os Oscarville died at the Grady Hospital in Atlanta last Wednesday from rheuma tism. Dr. Woodliff had suffered from this disease for several months and finally went to Atlanta for treatment. But all medical agencies could not ariest the malady. Dr. Woodliff was 39 years of age, a prominent Mason, and a practi tioner of wide reputation. He brother of Warren F. Woodliff of this city and A. H. Woodliff of Forsyth county, and had many friends through out this section of the state. His remains were carried back to For syth county and interred at Mt. Zjpn church by the Masons.
