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.

Hurt by Fall irOm Wagon. Mr. Marcus Wilbaiqs, a well known citizen of Dahlonega, who has been operating a freight-wagon line between that place and Gaines ville for some time, happened to a verp painful accident last week just as" Tie had got outside of the city with a heavily loaded wagon of goodn. 'ln some way he became entangled in the lines and was pulled from the vehicle by the team, run over by the wagon and severely injured. Three ribs were torn loose from his breast, his head and arms badly hurt, and he was I otherwise bruised and shaken up.

Every officer in the county is requested to be on hand for perman ent organization of these at that time.” This organization is to be per fected not only to form a more per fect union of these officers, exchange views, swap experiences and mu tually sympathize with and congrat ulate one another, but for the more practical and helpful, purpose of knocking off the rough corners of the irregularities of the work of their offices, and secure a more uni form method of forms and such other matters as they may decide upon.

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. The Eagle returns thanks to Mr. T. j W. Jones for a sackful of his excellent J Yates apples. There will be services at the New Hol land church next Sunday morning at ' 11.30, preaching by the pastor, Rev. S. H. Braswell. Everybody is invited. Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Smith have moved to their beautiful home on Peach Mountain, where they will remain until 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. Wants Posts. The postmaster desires bids for fur 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 July. A special plea of insanity was filed and the case was submitted to the following jury: Jury No. I—W. D. Strickland, T. W. West/ Allen Latty, R. H. Chandler. Jury No. 2—J. N. Payne, Jno. M. Hulsey, Jasper L. Pierce, K. G. Wiley, N. C. White, jr,, J. H. Elrod, W. C. Highfill, W. K. Ashford. A score or more of witnesses were examined on each side.
