Over $3,000
Has been subscribed this week to
the additional stock being taken to
enlarge the Gainesville Ice Com
pany's plant to a capacity of ten
tons a day.
They Will Moye.

Corporal Johnson.
The first prize drill by the Can
dler Horse Guards occurred Tues
day evening at the armory. Cor
poral Walter Johnson won the
medal. He will wear it until Feb.
22d, when another drill—a public
drill on the square—will be given
and the winner in the contest will
wear the trophy a month.
The boys did some magnificent
work Tuesday night.
The medal given by Capt. Pil
low is an elegant one, costing about
S2O.
Will Shine for Alb
The Eagle, as the official organ
of the county, and being read by
something like 5,000 readers in
Hall county every week, endeavors
to give due space and fair attention
to not only city affairs, but county
news as well. This week the
readers will note that a very large
percent of news matter directly
interests county readers as much as
it appeals to our city patrons. The
Eagle is endeavoring to make
itself “the paper indispensable” to
the people of Hall county and her
capital city.
The Late Grand Jury
Was one of the most capable and
business-like bodies that has ever
sat upon the interests of Hall
county. Their presentments Jitve
a snappy business flavor that is
seldom seen in like documents.
High compliments have been passed
on their work by Judge Kimsey and
the other court officers and by the
people.
Judge Gaston, as foreman, won
the praise of his fellow jurors by
his intelligent grasp of matters and
his expeditious and systematic dis
patch of business.
To Pay for Splitting Mud.
The mayor’s matinee Monday
afternoon was not a lively perform
ance, but drew a fairly good house.
Lillian Hunter, colored, drew a
prize of $1 and cost by fighting and
'•acting” in a disorderly manner for
it. N. C. Knight also drew a ditto
prize for speaking his lines in too
emphatic and sulphurous a manner
and embellishing them with handles
not in the play and “acting” in a
disorderly manner.
A number of cases were heard for
failure to pay street tax for last
year, and they put up a pitiful story
of how hard it is to pay for back
rations when the present menu is so
sorry.
The most important consid
eration in filling Prescriptions
is accuracy. The next is pure
drugs.

Our stock of Buist’s Garden
Seeds will be in in a few days.
Buist’s stands for what is best.
No seeds are guaranteed.
Ours come up.
Brown’s Arabian Stock Powder
is one of the very best things you
can use for horses and cows. There
are other preporations on the
market, but this does the work.
If you are not satisfied with the
dentifrice you have been using, get
a package of Bensolyptus Tooth
Paste. It cleanses the teeth thor
oughly and keeps the gums in
healthy condition. A tooth brush
that will not shed the bristles is
hard to find. We’ve got them.

Dr. Emmet E. Dixon
Died at his home, on Academy
street, this city, Sunday morning at
2 o’clock.
• For more than a month he had
been hovering between this world
and the limitless beyond, having
been stricken with the acute form
of Bright’s disease about Christ
mas. For several years his physical
condition had been impaired, but
since Christmas he had been for the
most of the time in a precarious
state, unconscious for a great part
of the time, and while the end was
not unexpected, the announcement
of his death caused universal grief
in Gainesville, where he has so long
been a resident. The funeral ser
vices were conducted Monday morn
ing at 11 o’clock from the home, his
pastor, Rev. W. F. Quillian, pre
siding at the service, assisted by
Revs. W. L. Pierce and J. A.
Wynne, and, encased in a black
state casket, all that was mortal of
one of the truest Christian gentle
men of the section was laid to rest
in Alta Vista cemetery. Hundreds
of those who knew and valued him
esteemed it a privilege to do honor
to his memory.
Dr. Dixon was born in Merri
wether county in 1847. He moved
to this city in 1876 and entered the
drug business. His fitness and
ability won success, and besides
owning the handsomest home and
place of business here, he accumu
lated large property beside.
He had held official position in
city and county and was president
of the State Sanitarium board dur
ing the administration of the late
Gov. Atkinson. For many years he
was a sufferer, yet he seldom spoke
of his physical affliction and he
wore always the cheerful smile that
welcomed friends into his presence.
Active in his personal business,
enterprising in his relations to pub
lic duties, a refined, genial gentle
man in social life, a loyal, honorable
church member and peculiarly gentle
and thoughtful in his family
relations—the community sustains
a very great loss in his death.
Dr. Dixon is survived by his wife,
who was Miss Annie Perry, a sister
Senator H. H. Perry, and
two’ daughters, "Misses Georgia arid
Erskine Dixon. He was a brother
of W. H. Dixon of Woodbury and
Mrs. Dallas of LaGrange.
in Ordinary’s Court
The following business was trans
acted Monday:
J. T. Waters, administrator of
J. L. Waters, deceased, was
granted letters of dismission.
Mrs. M. M. Dorsey, widow of
A. B. C. Dorsey, deceased, was
allowed twelve months support.
Mrs. J. N. Nix, widow of the
late J. N. Nix, was also granted
twelve months support.
Thomas E. Highsmith, admin
istrator of the estate of J. C. High
smith, deceased, was granted leave
to sell land.
A. J. Cavender was granted per
manent letters of administration
upon the estate of J. H. Mays, de
ceased.
A. D. Adair, administrator of
Sarah C. Hudson, deceased, was
granted letters of dismission.
R. P. Garrett, executor of the
will of Jno. S. Garrett, deceased,
was granted leave to sell personal
property.

The Peruchi-Beldeni Company,
which will open a three night’s
engagement at Hunt’s Opera House
Monday night, is one of the best
repertoire companies traveling.
From Raleigh, Charlotte, Greens
boro and other places they have
received the most flattering com
mendations from press and public,
i Manager Hunt is to be congrat
■ ulated upon securing such a popular
attraction at popular prices.
The opening bill will be the
four-act sensational melodrama,
“At the Hour of Nine,” which is
alluded to more fully elsewhere.
Up-to-date and pleasing special
ties will be introduced between the
acts by the Rumley Sisters, singers
and dancers; James Devine, Joe
Lee, Arthur Ritchie and other
members of-the company.
Popular prices, 10 20 and 30
cents, will be charged during the
engagement.
THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, FEBRUARY 5, 1903.
A Special Agent
Os the government postoffice de
partment will be in Gainesville
today to investigate and pass upon
several rural free delivery routes
which have been petitioned for.
The postmaster, Col. H. P.
Farrow, informs the public that all
who are interested in the establish
ment of these new routes from this
city throughout the county are
requested to call at the post-office
and assist in giving this special
agent such information as will show
the expediency of the establishment
of these routes. The agent will be
in the city for two or three days.
Those who reside on the proposed
routes are especially requested to
aid in this matter.
Seven new routes leading out
from Gainesville have been peti
tioned for, going in every direc
tion.
This will, if consummated, give
free daily delivery to patrons in
every direction in a territory sur
rounding Gainesville something like
25 miles in diameter. Besides,
seven more carriers will be given
employment at SSO a month. This
will also increase largely the busi
ness done through the Gainesville
office, while it will probably cause
the discontinuance of a number of
small offices over the county.
