It takes all kinds of women to make a world, and - all
kinds of shoes to please them. Still they
can all be suited with
“Queen Quality.”
It is an entirely different construction from the
ordinary shoe.* It is fitted to the foot, not at the toe
and heel, but around the instep. It gives free play to
the ball of the foot, yet the foot cannot slip forward in
the shoe, being firmly held at the “waist,” or arch of
the instep. In appearance it is most artistic. It has
more than style—it has distinction. It is made of an
extra grade of light, strong leather with great wearing
qualities. Then to make “Queen Quality” a very easy
shoe, it has specially feasible soles. Yet all this does
not increase its retail price. Try them once.

THE MYSTERY.
i.
The mantle of the morning lifted
Over the sea in the east,
The shadows of dawning shifted,
A sliaft of the sunlight rifted
The dark, and the light increased:
Then into the radiance drifted
A barque like a cradle fashioned,
Pulsing with life impassioned,
Flung on the sea of sense,
Tossed in the billows dashing—
While o’er the frail craft flashing
Writ was the legend: “Whence?”
11. K
The curtain of night descended
Over the sea in the west;
The sky with the ocean blended,
The gloom of the dark portended
Silent and sad unrest;
Then over the waves there wended
A barque like a coffin shaped,
Shrouded and palled and craped,
Floating hither and thither. .
Farther and far on the waste;
And over the craft was traced
Simply the query: “Whither?”

Electric Cars to Atlanta.
A Strong Company will Build a Line
Through From Gainesville.
Au electric railway is to be built from
Gainesville to Atlanta, byway of Flow
ery Branch, Buford, Suwanee, Duluth,
and Norcross.
The company behind this interurban
electric line is applying for corporate
privileges under the name of the At
lanta, Buford and Gainesville Electric
Railway Company. The petition for
charter appears unabridged in another
column of this paper.
The gentlemen who compose this new
company are men of large means, wide
business experience, shrewd acumen,
and sound judgment. Mr. H. D. Ja
quish of this city, whose energy, ability,
and business standing commands esteem
s and confidence here and among capi
talists abroad, is the, prime mover in the
enterprise. Quietly, determinedly, with
a fine eye for the opportunities of this
section and the promise of its future,
with confidence in its advantageous sit
uation and its developing resources, he
has for two years been at work on the
plans. His associates are Col. C. C.
Sanders of this city, Messrs. M. S. Gar
ner, Geo. W. Thompson, and J. O. H.
Brown of Buford, D. B. Stancliff of At
lanta, E. J. Michael of Bayhorse, Idaho,
J. W. Peterson, W. W. Gorham, and
Geo. W. Winslow of Chicago, 111.
The money for building the road has
been subscribed and SIOO,OOO paid in.
Unless some unusual depression blights
the business prospects of the country,
the work will be begun as soon as the
company can be chartered, and the road
will be built.
The power will be developed at Wind
ingjShoals, on the Chattahoochee river,
a few miles from Buford.
Mr. Peterson, one of the petitioners,
who is president of one of the largest
electrical machinery concerns in the
United States, has personally made
thorough investigation of the power,
the proposed road, and the prospects
for its success, and declares that, con
sidering all the conditions of location,
material, water power, etc., he knows
of no better opening anywhere for real
business success in operating an electric
road and‘making and furnishing electric
power.
A number of the same gentlemen in
terested in this enterprise have also ap
plied to the superior court of Gwinnett
county for charter incorporating the
“Winding Shoals Electric Power Com
pany.” They have already made con
tracts with Buford factories to furnish
them several thousand horsepower.
The Atlanta, Buford and Gainesville
Electric Railway is assured.

members of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Hall County have ex

Therefore a Democratic mass meeting
is hereby called to be held at the court
house at Gainesville, Georgia, on Mon
day, the 17th day of August, 1903, at 12
o’clock m., for the purpose of selecting
a new Executive Committee for Hall

hold the primary for the nomination of
the Judge and Solicitor of the City
Court. H. H. Dean,

Couldn’t Turn the Hose Off.
Twelve congenial spirits under the
leadership of jolly Frank Whelchel,
Alex Garner, and Lou Hayes a few
nights ago repaired to a bee-tree which
had been discovered near Mr. Whel
chel’s home in the county, with intent
to rob the same of its saccharine treas
ure. >
Alex Garner was chosen the man to
be put forward, and levied upon the
crowd for additional clothing wherewith
to protect himself again st the busines
ends of the bees. He put on two pairs
of trousers, two coats, and two hats, and
then asked for something to cover his
hands. Mr. Whelchel suggested to him
to take off his socks and put them on his
hands.
“But I havn’t got any on,” exclaimed
Alex. “Let me have yours, Frank.”
“I havn’t got any on, either,” said
Frank.
And round the group of a dozen Alex
went, and found at last that one man in
the crowd had the necessary article of
clothing about his person—Lou Hayes.
It was almost a sockless crowd.
Bur they got 40 pounds of fine honey
and a good laugh on the raid.
NUMBER 32.
Encouraging Indusfe?.
A quintet of able-bodied negroes,
whose labors will be worth several dol
lars to the city as well as to themselves,
was pinched, pulled and jugged for “be
ing in an unlawful assembly on the
streets” and tried before Mayor Parker
at his regular Monday matinee. The
names of the loafers were Joe Rake
straw, Berry Daniel, Jim Roe, Marion
Webb and Jim Bell. They were fined
$5 and costs each, or 15 days on the
streets.
County Pays Expenses.
An order was passed up last Friday
by Judge Kimsey providing for the -pay
ment of sllO to Dr. John D. Mauldin of
Flowery Branch for exhuming the body
of Wiley Tanner, who was alleged to
have been poisoned by his young wife,
removing a portion of the viscera of the
remains and carrying it to the State
chemist in Atlanta for examination and
analysis. This amount includes re
muneration for Dr. W. C. Kennedy,
who assisted Dr. Mauldin, and also in
cludes expenses of transportation to
Atlanta.
The order also provided for the pay
ment of S2OO to John W. Tanner, re
imbursing him for the sum he expended
as a fee to the State chemist for analys
ing the stomach of young Tanner.

He Slept Too Many.
Because he too promiscously
Saturday night rfnd scattered his naps,
snoozes and siestas around without due
circumspection and discrimination as
to time and place, Frank Sanford, col
ored, was found guilty in mayor’s court
Monday and sentenced to pay a fine of
$25 and costs or serve 60 daysjin the city
chaingang.
Frank was found asleep in another ne
gro’s front yard, literally enjoying flow
ery beds of ease. The owner upon find
ing him, woke the slumberer and sug
gested that he get under a roof like a
civilized coon and proffered the neces
ary roof to get under. ,He so did. After
a second sleep he roused and and tore
off the partition dividing his host’s bed
room from another renter’s roost, and
got into a “cullud lady’s” bunk, while
she was out at a “festibal”. Frank
didn’t take time to remove his clothing
or even his shoes. When the rightful
resident returned the trouble began and
the row resulted as statedin the begin
ment of this chronicle.
You are Interested.
We call the special attention of the
reader to the advertisement of that
excellent institution, the Mutual Life
Insurance Association of Georgia,
which appears in the Eagle. Our
people are giving much thought to the
plan of this company, and it is popular
everywhere it is understood. It is
popular because it is cheap, the cost on
a thousand dollars of insurance being
less than one-fourth thdt required by
the old-line companies. It is safe be
cause the money is alway on hand in
the treasury of your local division, to
be paid on the very day of the death of
the policy holder.
Some critics of this plan have declared
that the ifiembers will not pay their
assessments, and will drop out; but the
experience of the past have shown that
less than one-half of one per cent
have failed to pay, and for every
vacancy thus created a dozen were
waiting to take the place. So long as
life is uncertain, and death is sure, and
comes you know not what hour, just
so long will a man continue to pay his
dollar and fifteen cents and keep his
wife and children protected.
Every consideration of business and
affection demands that you insure your
life and protect your family.
