the Eagfle IPixhlishiing- Company. - VOLUME XLIV. FAMOUS S/fQE™ W&ME/V 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. . $3.00 $2.50 FOR BOOTS. I'OR OXFORDS.

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?” -D-. G. B. Fletcher M.

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. Democratic Mass Meeting.

H. H. Dean, Chm. Dem. Ex. Com. Hall Co. Lester D. Puckett, Sec. 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. POLKSVILLE. The people are about done work in this section.
