Potash as N ecessary as Rain j
The quality and quantity of the I
crops depend on a sufficiency of £
Potash
in the soil. Fertilizers which are
low in Potash will never produce
satisfactory results.
Every farmer should be familiar with the
proper proportions of ingredients that go to
make the best fertilizers for every kind of
crop. We have published a series of books,
containing the latest researches on this all
important subject, which we will send free

■‘Some hae meat and canna eat.
And some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thanket.”
The third line above describes the peo
ple of Gainesville. We have fine cli
mate, invigorating air, pure water, and
everything conducive to health.
The city of Gainesville has all in the
way of modern conveniences that the
large cities have —water works, sewers,
electric lights, electric cars, a fine pub
lic school, a big female college, and va
rious large manufactories.
The year just past has been somewhat
quiet, but the people of this section are
in good shape, all making money (or
nearly all.) The election is over, and
we are getting hard down to business.
Real estate is valuable here and will
become more so, the number of transac
tions is increasing, and the man of fore
sight will buy before values increase
very much. I have almost every kind
of property in real estate that any one
may need —store lots, residences, build
ing lots, farms, tenement houses, and
some mineral lands.
I have a good many inquiries for
farms, and would like to add more farms
to my list. I have been in the business
a long time. I know the people and the
properties well; have sold for a great
many, and to a great many, and refer
you to those of my customers who are
satisfied with what I have done. I in
vite all who have property to sell to list
it with me, and all who want to buy
to let me show them what I have
I can benefit both. No sale, no charge.

r
Came, and Gave tip.
Jim Weldon, a negro weighing about
210 pounds, charged with severely cut
ting a merchant at Bellton, who does
not weigh over 125 pounds, Monday
night, came to this city Tuesday night
and surrendered to Bailiff Bud Smith,
who at once committed him to jail and
notified the sheriff of Banks county, in
which the offense is alleged to have
been committed. The merchant at
Bellton had asked the negro for a dollar
which he says Weldon owed him. A
dispute arose when the negro denied the
debt and abused the merchant. It is
said that Weldon’s wife gave him a
razor and with it he advanced upon the
merchant, who turned to leave. The
negro slashed him in the back, inflicting
an ugly wound about a foot long.
Attention, Fruit Giowers.
South Georgia has a Fruit Grow
ers’ Association, and some of the
fruit growers around Cornelia have
j recently organized what they call
i pThe Habersham County Fruit
Growers’ Association.”
All these associations have done
wonders in the way of protection
to the fruit interest of those sec
tions. When I look around here in
Hall and adjoining counties, I see
men who are greatly interested in
4'ruit growing, who can
heads together . C'fegßm
cause fed make things happen.
We musfjook after freight and ex
press rates, and markets, and bring
to our section some of the “cash
buyers” as other growers are doing,
that we may sell our fruit for spot
cash on the trees, or on board cars
at our own dopots.
Many of the orchards around
Fort Valley, Rome, and Cornelia
have been bought by northern and
eastern capitalists, and these men
from the North and East have
bought more lands and extended
tneir orchards for miles around.
Can we people do the same? Yes.
Why don’t we? Because this,
the best of all fruit sections,, is not
known to many of our own people,
much less to the people of a dis
tance. How should our fruit inter
est and section be known? By
organizing a Northeast Georgia
Fruit Growers’ Association.
Who are the fruit growers of this
part of Northeast Georgia? Well,
let’s see. There is R. E. Andoe,
H. A. Terrell, A. J. Mundy, Dr.
M. M. Riley, Vest Simmons, C. C.
Simpson, J. R. Logan, J. T.
Waters, Messrs. Russell and Rogers
of Winder, Jeff Hood and Hon.
Lam Hardman of Commerce, E. P.
Dunagan, J. C. Harrington, M. C.
Buffington, Dr. Wiley Kennedy of
Bellmont, Jno. Webb of Candler, J.
J. Adams Klondike, Booth Niblack
and Allen Flanagan of Jackson
county, J. C. Browning, M. G.
Reynolds, B. M. and Jack Rogers,
A. R. Logan, and myself, and
others tfhom I can’t think of now.
Now, in view of all this, I do
hereby make the following call to
the fruit growers of Northeast
Georgia, and I have the full and
hearty co-operation of every fruit
grower whom I have been able to
see:
That on the first Tuesday in
February next, we will meet in the :
court house at Gainesville, Ga., at:
10 o’clock a. m., for the purpose of
organizing the “Northeast Georgia
Fruit Growers’Association.”
Let every man who is interested
in the growing of commercial fruit 1
be on hand at the appointed hour.
Yours truly, *
R. IL Smith.
NUMBER 4.

Mr. Smith gathers his next peach crop,
when they will move to Greenville, S.C.
The Missionary Institute of the
Gainesville district was held at the First
M. E. church yesterday and last night.
About 20 of the preachers of the district
were in attendance and the meeting was
interesting and helpful.
Capt. Gus Clark, who has for years
been a conductor on the G, J. &S.
and Gainesville Midland, has been
transferred to the main line, and has
moved to this city and occupies the
Bailey residence on N. Bradford street.

nishing oak posts for the mail boxes to
be put in at Gainesville for the free city
delivery.
Lost Money on Hoad.
Mr. G. W. Pirkle recently lost $7 on
the Lawrenceville road near Flowery
Branch. Mr. Pirkle, who is well known
in the county, can ill afford the loss and
he will be grateful if the finder will re
turn the sum to him.
Schools Get Convict Money.
As was predicted in last week’s Eagl#
the grand jury has decided that the
money derived from the hire of Hall
county’s convicts shall be applied to the
common school fund. This will add
from SI,OOO to $1,500 annually to the
school fund.
Bellmont School.
The citizens of Bellmont are making
noble efforts to re-build their school
house, which was totally destroyed by
fire on Jan. 3rd. The house was a large
one and the second story was occupied
by the Odd Fellows as a lodge rooim
The lodge is now--’* iq Dr. Wfrey*
Kennedy’s room, school, which
kas about 75 pupils in attendence, is
moving right along at the church.
Is Suing the County.
Ex-Sheriff M. O. Gilmer is suing the
county for a small sum which his at
torneys claim he is due as a part of his
lawful fees for conveying prisoners from
and to jail court times. The question
in issue is whether this fee shall be paid
by the county or by defendants as a
part of the costs of prosecution. The
case has been heard before Judge Rus
sell and again before Judge Kimsey,
and a judgment for the plaintiff re
sulted. It will be carried as a test case
to the supreme court.
Judge Dorsey Succeeds Himself.
The grand jury this week selected
Judge A. G. Dorsey as notary public
and ex officio justice of the peace for
this, the 411th, militia district of Hall
county. There were several candidates
for the place. Judge Dorsey’s re-elec
tion is a distinct tribute to the able and
efficient manner in which he has con
ducted the affairs of his office during
the past years. He is the first notary
to succeed himself in this district.
Judge Dorsey has many friends who
congratulate him upon his success in the
race.
Sane or Insane?
Most of this week has been consumed
with the trial of J. M. Beard, charged
with the murder of W. O. Hammond,
his father-in-law, on the 31st of last
