CAPTURED THE OFFICIALS.
The Neat Trick a Parisian Woman
Played on the Police.
A Parisian woman who did not
pay her rent played a neat trick on
the police. She had a reputation for
violence, and when the bailiff called
he took the precaution of bringing
a police commissary with him. The
woman was wreathed in smiles when
she opened the door to the two offi
cials, and she assisted them with the
utmost amiability in drawing up an
inventory of her furniture, with a
view to an eventual sale at public
amotion. When the business was
completed she conducted the bailiff
and the police officer to the door,
bat the latter was locked.
“Gentlemen,” the woman remark
ed, with an amiable smile, “you are
my prisoners. You have been so
courteous and considerate that I
should be loath to lose your com
pany. Therefore, I have locked the
front door and thrown the key out
of the window. This flat is on the
fourth floor. The door is an ex
ceptionally strong one, and your
joint efforts would be powerless to
force it open. The next door flat
and that on the floor beneath are
both unoccupied. Consequently it
would be idle to expect assistance
from any one in the house. The
only thing for you to do is to halloa
out of the window down into the
street and make yourselves a laugh
ingstock.” The woman then sat
down complacently and waited.
The bailiff and the police officer,
convinced that she had a key of the
front door somewhere in her posses
sion, reasoned with her for a long
time, but in vain. Some four hours
of captivity elapsed before they
could make up their minds to shout
and gesticulate at the window. When
they did so a crowd rapidly collect
ed in the street. Every one thought
a crime had been committed. Peo
ple who knew were already relating
with circumstantial details how an
elderly woman had been murdered
in the fourth floor flat. Policemen
arrived and, striding through the
crowd, boldly walked upstairs, where
with the aid of a locksmith they
opened the door and found them
selves face to face with their own
chief. The latter, with the bailiff,
made off in a cab as hurriedly and
as inconspicuously as he could man
age it.
Mr. M. C. Brown:
Dear Sir : Over fifty years ago our
firm began selling paint throughout ithg
South; sales /have
ruptedly, and ten times greater than
any other brand of paint. Read the
following: *
“Have used the L. & M. Paint twenty
years; houses painted with it eight
years ago show better today than houses
painted with other paints within two
years.”—A. B. Edgell, Alachua, Fla.
“Have used all brands of paint. L.
& M. Pure Paint stands better and
wears longer than any other paint I
have ever used in my ten years ex
perience.”—H. F. Smith, Painter, Con
cord, N. C.
4 ‘l painted Frankenburg Block with
L. &M. Paint; stands out as though
varnished. Actual cost was less than
$1.20 per gallon.”—W. B. Barr, Charles
ton, W. Va.
“I painted our old homestead with L.
&M. Paint twenty-six years ago. Not
painted since; looks better than houses
painted in the last four years with other
paint.”—H. S. Scofield, Harris Springs,
43. C.
“Used the L. & M. Paint for sixteen
years. Painted three houses with it
fifteen years ago; they have not needed
painting since.” —J. E. Webb, Hickory,
N. C.
Respectfully,
Longman & Martinez.
This celebrated paint is sold by Mr.

that Rev. Chas. T. Brown, of Gillsville,

Wanted.
We would like to ask, through the
columns of your paper, if there is any
person who has used Green’s August
Flower for the cure of Indigestion, Dys
pepsia, and Liver Troubles that has not
been cured —and we also mean their re
sults, such as sour stomach, fermenta
tion of food, habitual costiveness, ner
vous dyspepsia, headaches, despondent
feelings, sleeplessness—in fact, any
trouble connected with the stomach or
liver? This medicine has been sold for
many years in all civilized countries,
and we wish to correspond with you
and send you one of our books free of
cost. If you never tried August Flower,
try a 25-cent bottle first. We have
never known of its failing. If so, some
thing more serious is the matter with
you. The 25-cent size has just been
introduced this year. Regular size 75
cents. At M. C. Brown’s.

The Finest in the World.
Mr. George W. Griffith, the owner of
the famous “Kilties Band,” sometimes
known as the Gordon Highlanders of
Canada, announces that this wonderful
organization will give a concert at the
Opera House on April 21st. In the pres
ent tour of this celebrated international
organization it is expected that over
35,000 miles of territory will be covered.
The tour will be a trans-continental one,
and will extend from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and from the Lakes to the Gulf.
It is likely that no musical organization
ever before the public has achieved the
same success as the justly popular Kil
ties has achieved in the past. For the
present season, Mr. Griffith has greatly
strengthened the band, and has, beyond
doubt, made it the biggest novelty of
the musical and theatrical season. In
cluded in the organization are 40 musi
cians, 7 soloists, 6 Highland dancers, 2
bagpipers, 4 British Military Buglers,
and a vocal choir of 18 splendid voices,
who render with marvellous effect many
of the exquisite Scottish songs, as well
as popular Americaa airs. The Kilties
have scored a remarkable success
wherever they have appeared. New
York City went wild over them, and on
one of their recent engagements at Mad
ison Square Garden their receipts for a
matinee and evening performance were
$6,898.50. In Brooklyn they played at
the Orpheum for one week to box office
takings aggregating SII,OOO. They are
just as popular in the west as they are
in the east, as is evidenced by the re
ceipts at the Auditorium in Chicago for
amounting to $7,192.50. In
■Un Francisco their one week "s engage
ment amounted to $8,496, and in Dallas,
Texas, for one concert, they received up
wards of $1,700. The band appears in
the full kilted uniform, and is one of the
most picturesque as ‘well as artistic mu
sical organizations in the world. The
attention of the citizens of Gainesville
is also called to Mr. Donald Mac Co
rmack, the famous Drum Major of the
organization, .who stands 7 feet in
height in his stocking feet.
The entertainment here will be given
under the auspices of Longstreet Chap
ter, Daughters of the Confederacy, and
for the purpose of raising money for the
Confederate Monument.
Mrs. C. C. Sanders,
President Longstreet Chapter.
THE LADIES favor painting their
churches, and therefore we urge every
minister to remember we give a liberal,
quantity of the Longman & Martinez
Paint toward the painting.
Wears and covers like gold.
Don’t pay $1.50 a gallon for Linseed
Oil (worth 60 cents) which you do when
you buy other paints in a can with a
paint label on it.
8& 6 make 14, therefore when you
want fourteen gallons of paint, buy only
eight of L. & M., and mix six gallons
pure Linseed Oil with it, and thus get
paint at less than $1.20 per gallon.
Many houses are well painted with
four gallons of L. & M., and three gal
lons of Linseed Oil mixed therewith.
These Celebrated Paints are sold by
M. C. Brown.

THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, APRIL 21, 1904-
A Good Law.
The city council passed a much needed
ordinance last Saturday night at its reg
ular meeting. The new regulation is
relative to the running at large of “any
horse, mule, cow, ox, sheep, goat, or
fowls.” The ordinance is designed to
protect those who wish to garden or
plant flowers, and intended to prevent
the prevalent spoliation of gardens by
the neighbors’ chickens or stock. To al
low your stock or fowls to run at large,
to turn them on another’s premises with
out his permission, or to fail to use ex
traordinary care and diligence in keep
ing unruly stock from breaking out
now constitute offenses in the eye of
the municipal law, and these offenses
are punishable by fine or otherwise as in
the case of any other infraction of the
city ordinances.
The law is a good one and is being
warmly endorsed by all classes of cit
izens.

HEALTH
is the
Most Important
In buying food-products, several things
are to be thought of —i. e., Economy,
Results, Easy Handling, Reliability, but
the most important is Health.
Health means everything. In buying
clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, etc., if the
buyer is deceived and gets an imitation
the only harm is loss of money. In buy
ing food-products, if imitations are sup
plied, there is not only a loss of money,
but perhaps an injury to health which
is beyond price.
Remember these facts when buying baking powder.
