Yon Owe the World a Living.
‘‘You ask me why I am working away?’’
Said a cheerful man I met,
Who was singing and working the livelong day.
“Why, I owe the world a living,” he’d say,
“And I’m trying to pay the debt.”
And so he was doing his duty best,
Trying to give, not get,
Adding his measure of effort, lest
He’d soon be owing still more for rest —
He was “trying to pay his debt.”
And thus he taught me a lesson true,
One I shall not forget:
The world owes me naught for my passing thr®’,
’Tis I owe the world my fare—l do—
Am I trying to pay the debt?
—D. G. B.

A District Parsonage.
The first quarterly meeting of the
First M. E. church was held at the
church Monday evening. A committee
was appointed of five leading members
of the church to look into the matter of
building a district parsonage for the
presiding elder of the Gainesville
district in this city.
Winder charge has an offer standing
of a beautiful SI,OOO lot and S4OO in
cash as an inducement to build the
parsonage in that city. In the event the
parsonage is located there, it is more
than probable that the name of the
district will be changed from the
“Gainesville district” ro the “Winder
district.”
Gainesville Methodist are not willing
for the parsonage to be erected else
where and do not relish the likelihood
of a change of name. They will, doubt
less, do as w’ell as Winder, or go Winder
“one better.”
Miss Frances Comes to Town
Miss Frances Warren of Morgan’s dis
trict dropped in to see us Tuesday. She
had her umbrella encased in a large jute
bag inflated with Sunday newspapers
and things, thus making a package too
voluminous and conspicuous to be left
lying around unnoticed. She says she
has lost “umbrells” before now, and
does not calculate to lose any more if
she can help it.
With the true womanly and maidenly |
instinct, she has “forgot” her age. '
However, she looks just as young as she .
did when she lived here thirty years I
ago. .
She has it in for Jap Williams for
norating it around that she borrowed j
his shoes to wear w hile breaking a wild
steer. She says she broke the steer,
though, but in’her own shoes, and not j
Jap’s. She says she “shore did” break
that little black steer, and when she got j
done with him he had his mouth full of |
mud and looked like one of “these here |
dirt-dobbers. ”
She says that while living in Gaines- ;
ville with Dr. Shaffer, she “tuck a no
tion and jined,” but has since been j
turned out for making wine—a combi- j
nation of grape and blackberry. |
Miss Frances owns a little farm which j
she tends with her own hands, sup
plemented by the scant and reluctantj
enterprise of the little black steer which
she initiated with such heroic discipline. ■
Miss Frances inquired kindly after.
the health of Dave Whelchel.
NUMBER 6.
He Pays For Dishonesty.
Tribulations of Robbins when Money
Stuck to His Fingers.
The case of the State against X.
W. Robbins, charged with larceny
after trust, in the Superior court
last week was one of unusual in
terest, although both the defendant
and the prosecutors were compara
tive strangers in Hall county.
Robbins, the young man on trial,
was in the employ of the Chicago
Portrait Co. as canvasser. He
was promoted by the district man
ager for Georgia and South Caro
lina, Mr. T. C. Hartley of Colum
bia, to the position of collector ami
deliveryman.
While in Gainesville in April.
1902, w’ith his wife, whom he had
married only a short time before, it
was discovered that he was short
between S4OO and SSOO. Mr. Hart
ley allowed him to go to Columbus.
Ga., to raise the amount. Failing
to make good in some time, Mr.
Hartley went to Columbus and gave
Robbins six hours to settle. In
stead Robbins skipped to Birming
ham, was there arrested, and later
brought to Gainesville and lodged
in jail.
When proceeded against by Hart
ley, Robbins denounced the district
manager as a persecutor, and had
him arrested for false imprisonment.-
Being a total stranger here, Mr.
Hartley put up express orders as
bond with the sheriff. Robbins
learned of this bond and. through
his attorneys, garnisheed the sheriff,
tiled a declaration on attachment in
Superior court, and attempted in a
high-handed manner to bulldoze hh
case out of court. He came near to
lodging the manager in but
Messrs. How ard Thompson, Ja>- Il-
Gaston, and Judge Prior wen? or
his bond.
The prosecution of Robbins by
Col. Howard Thompson, who a<
sisted Solicitor Charters, was vig
orous and able. What seemed in
surmountable obstacles were over
come. A score or more of wit
nesses w’ere found and examined?,
witnesses from Chicago and Colum
bia were brought here, and express
and telegraph records and the books
of the Portrait Company in Chicago
had to be searched for evidence to
refute the defense.
Robbins w’as found guilty ami
recommended to be punished as for
a misdemeanor. The tine imposed
was $250 and costs, amounting in
all to about S4OO.
Robbins’ suits against Mr. Hart
ley were all dismissed at Robbins’
cost.
Mr. Hartley and Mr. Jesse blot
ter, head book-keeper for the Com
pany, w’hile here made many friends
and won the esteem and confidence
of our people.
The Chicago Portrait Co. is one
of the best and most reliable in the
United States. It does an immense
business, and its work is of the
highest class of art. We know
whereof w’e speak, for we have an
enlarged picture of one of our house
hold angels made by these people,
and we would not put any price on
it, if it could not be replaced bv
another just like it.
There’ll Be a Kick.
It is rumoved that the Belle liain
may be discontinued. If this is
dbne a great kick will be coming
from the Southern’s patrons all
along the line from Atlanta to
Toccoa.
