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.
