Planing Mill Not Sold.
The news of the sale of the
Queen City Planing Mill as pub
lished elsewhere is learned this
morning to be erroneous. A deal
was on hand but not consummated.
The mill began work this morning
under the regular management of
the John A. Smith Mfg. Co.
Some Good Signs.
One of the most unique calendars
of the season hangs in Cam Brown’s
window. It is emphatically a good
luck calendar, representing a barn
door with rusty hinges and a real,
rusty horse-shoe nailed in the center.
In one corner is a wish-bone, in an
other a rabbit-foot and in another a
four-leaf clover. All the signs are
real and right.
Concord Academy
Is moving right along with nearly
200 students in attendance. Prof.
W. M. Johnson is principal; he is
assisted by Mr’.,. Johnson and Miss
Blanche Bolding. New heaters
h/ive been installed in the class
rooms and the patrons have recent
ly evidenced their interest and
pride in this flourishing young high
school by beautifying the grounds—
setting it to shade and ornamental
trees and plants.
The Gainesville Messenger-
The colored people of Gaines
ville now have a local newspaper of
their own, The Gainesville Mes
senger, a six-column, four-page pub
lication with editorial and local
matter of interest to the race. The
paper is published by the Messen
ger Company, Rev. J. D. Lovejoy
president, Prof. C. E. Williams
editor, and J. B. Neal x general
agent. The editorial and news
matter is up-to-date, bright, and
excellently prepared. The colored
people are to be commended and
congratulated on such a good paper.
Court House Haunted.
Under the inside of the eaves of
the temple of justice Bailiff Bud
Smith detected a walking tiger in
the act last Friday. He was deliv
ering the goods to several custom
ers from spacious pockets and the
officer saw the transaction, which
took place with all the surreptitous
ness of such deals up iu the third
story of the court house. He fol
lowed his game and captured him
near Black Branch. Warrant was
sworn out against the party, a
young man named Don Smith, who
made bond for appearance at Feb
ruary court.
One of tne Rapid Fire Vaiiety.
Mrs. J. D. Jennings, who lives
on Railroad Avenue, is the pos
sessor of a cow that is not yet four
years of age, but is the mother of
no less than three healthy calves,
and has been giving milk daily for
twenty-three months.
It is needless to say that the cow
is not for sale, as she is a kind of
■“endless chain” in her way of doing
business, and such a cow would fill
a long felt want —and a 3-gallon
bucket, which produces a pound of
wholesome butter daily.
In addition to the above, this in
dulgent cow has reared a motherless
calf..

Gapt. Bill Smith Dead.
Buford, Ga., Jan. 19.—Captain
W. T. .Smith of this place, well
known as “Smith of Gwinnett,”
died this morning at 9.30 o’clock.
He had been ill for several days.
He attended the funeral of John B:
Gordon in Atlanta last week and
he was sick when he returned home.
Captain Smith has for years been
prominent in politicial circles of the
State. He has represented this
county in the lower house of Geor
gia assembly and the district as a
member of the upper house of the
body. During his terms he labored
faithfully to establish the Soldiers’
Home, and it was largely due to his
efforts that this institution became
a fact.
A Giant of the Deep.
The American Museum of Natu
ral History in New York has what is
believed to be the largest whale
ever exhibited on land. It is a fe
male finback sixty-eight feet in
length. Its body in life was thirty
feet in circumference. It is esti
mated that at least fifty men could
be inclosed within the interior of
this gigantic animal. The full
grown right whale, which is the
species usually hunted for its blub
ber and whalebone, averages from
forty-five to fifty feet in length.
The whale whose skeleton adorns
the museum was washed ashore dead
near Forked River, N. J. Scientific
theory avers that the ancestors of
the whales were terrestrial mam
mals which gradually became aquat
ip in their way of living.

‘‘The Estes Store” is advertising

Death of a Good Woman.
Mrs. Flanigan, mother of Mr. A.
M. Flanigan and sister of Mr. J. G.
Justice, died in Jefferson last Mon
day morning at the age of 76 years.
She had been in a feeble state of
health for two years or more and
has been over at Jefferson for treat
several weeks. Her home was at
Marcus, nine miles out from Win
der.
Mrs. Flonigan was a noble old la
dy and greatly loved and respected
by her neighbors and by all who
knew her. She had a large circle
of friends all over this county.
She was buried at the family
cemetery, near Marcus, Rev. W. B.
Dillard of Carrollton conducting
the funeral services in the presence
of a large concourse of relatives
and friends who had come to pay
their last tribute of love and respect
to a pure and good Christian wom
an.—Winder Economist.
From Dahlonega Nugget-
Mr. John Hatfield of Dahlonega
will locate in Gainesville about the
first of next month.
The Dahlonega and Dawsonville
telephone line, recently constructed
by Mr. R. C. .Meaders, has been
accepted by the Bell Telephone Co.
and we hope it will soon be in talk
ing order.
Never in the history of Dahlon
ega has water been so scarce as it
now is. Numbers and numbers of
wells are perfectly dry, and in the
country springs that never failed be
fore are affording no water at all.
The marshal is now collecting the
dog tax. Heretofore when collect
ing commenced some owners of dogs
would send theirs Qut in t,he*?country
for a while in order to avoid paying
on them, but the council is going
to stop this by requiring a tax on
all dogs remaining in the city as
many as ten day at any time during
the year.
, Don’t Overlook
The ad of W. J. & E. C. Palmour.
They have an event to announce, an
event of unusual interest to folks who
wear clothes. There is a “cause” and
an “effect” to the things they are pre
senting to the purchasing public.
Dorsey Bros.
Will move their place of business March
Ist to the M. C. Brown store-room on
Main street, next door to the old relief
headquarters. They will fit up a neat
office, and next to the office a handsome
show room for fine cabinet goods. They
will also beautifully furnish a parlor for
the repository of caskets which may lie
over here for transportation. These
parlors will be convertible into a small
chapel for funeral services in case of
strangers who may not have their
homes here. The new business will be
equal in every way to the best funeral
houses in the South.
“Down in the Dumps.”
This practical theme will be handled
in his vigorous, brilliant style by Dr.
Len G. Broughton, the aggressive pas
tor of the Tabernacle, Atlanta, at the
court house iu this city next Thursday
evening, Jan. 28th, in a lecture he will
deliver under the auspices of Myrtle
Street Methodist church.
Dr. Broughton’s name is synonymous
with anything but a dull, stupid time.
He can wake folks up; he has waked
Atlanta on more than one occasion. In
lecture he puts the same fire, the same
fearlessness, the same gray matter he
uses in his regular work —only his lec
tures are the cream of his thought. It
is needless to say the court house will
be filled next Thursday night.

A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he held a stick cut
from tho grave of General Andrew
Jackson, which has been carried by him
ever since. Mr. Brock is a dignified old
gentleman, showing few signs of de
crepitude. His family Bible is still pre
served, and it shows that the date of his
birth was written 114 years ago.
Surely a few words from this remarka
ble old gentleman, who has had 114
years of experience to draw from,would
be interesting as well as profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Times-Herald, December 4,1898. A still
more pretentious biography of this, the
oldest living man, frustrated with
a double column portrait,'was given the
readers of the Dallas Morning News,
dated December 11, 1898, and also the
Chicago-Times Herald of same date.

This centenarian is an ardent friend of
Peruna, having used it many years.
In speaking of his good health and
extreme old age, Mr. Brock says:
“After a man has lived in the world
as long as I have, he ought to have
found out a great many things by ex
perience. I think I have done so.
** One of the things 1 have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper thing for ailments that
are due directly to the effects of
the climate. For 114 years 1 have
withstood the changeable climate
of the United States,
“I have always been a very healthy
man, but of course subject to the little
affections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and temperature.
During my long life I have known a
great many remedies for coughs, colds
and diarrhoea.
“As for Dr. Hartman 9 s remedy
Peruna, 1 have found it to be the
best, if not the only, reliable rem
edy for these affections. It has
been my standby for many years,
and I attribute my good health
and extreme old age to this rem
edy.
“It exactly meets all my require
ments. It protects me from the evil
effects of sudden changes; it keeps me
in good appetite; it gives me strength;
it keeps my blood in good circulation.
I have come to rely upon it almost en
tirely for the many little things for
which I need medicine.
“ When epidemics of la grippe first
began to make their appearance in this
country I was a sufferer from this dis
ease.
“ 1 had several long sieges with
the grip. At first I did not know
that Peruna was a remedy for
this disease. When 1 heard that
la grippe was epidemic catarrh, /
tried Peruna for la grippe and
found it to be Just the thing. 99
Yours truly,
For a free book on catarrh, address
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
4ull statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus*
Ohio.
