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. M. C. Brown. At Buffington School House. The Eagle is requested to announce that Rev. Chas. T. Brown, of Gillsville, will preach at the Buffiington school house on the first Sunday afternoon in May—May Ist, at 3 o’clock. 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. G. G. Green, Woodbury, N. J. 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. From Dawsonville Advertiser. Hon. J. N. Holder, of Jackson county, will run for speaker of the next house of representatives, and we hope John will “git that Eli.” Mr. M. S. Simmons, formerly of Hall county but several years past of Idaho, spent a couple of days with his per sonal friend, Mr. W. R. Robinson, in the city this week. Mrs. Synthia C. Barrett, wife of J. M.

The New Jail Is now assuming proportions which in dicate somewhat the appearance it will present when completed. The brick work is approaching completion and the i steel cages are being set in place. - 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. Property Transfers. A. G. Jennings, of Brooklyn, N. Y., to Cecelia D.

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.
