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.

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.. Hall Superior Court.. The January term of Hall supe rior court convened Monday morn ing, Judge J. J.

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 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 GAINESVILLE EAGLE, JANUARY 21, 1904. Will Hit Somebody. ‘‘The Estes Store” is advertising in another corner a “double-bar relled bargain sale.” Both barrels are heavily loaded with extraordi nary bargains backed up with prices that will turn them loose on some body. Are you hunting bargains? Geo. P. Estes is hunting you. Get in his way if you want to get the force of his bargains. Death of a Good Woman. Mrs. Flanigan, mother of Mr. A. M.

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.

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. How’s This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. F. J.

His family Bible is still pre served, and it shows that the date of his birth was written 114 years ago.

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.
