GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 2, 1905.
HOLDER FOR SPEAKER. 1
Hon. John N. Holder, editor of the 4 l
Jackson Herald, was a visitor to lh*>
city yesterday. Mr. Holder has. many;]
friends in Athens, who arb glad at alf
to welcome him among them.
Mr. Holder was re-elected last fall to
represent Jackson county again in the
general assembly of Georgia. Many of
his friends in all parts of the state are
anxious to see him the next speaker of
the house, and it is understood that
should his name be used he will have a
strong following. No better selection
could be made nor one that would give
more general satisfaction to the people
of Georgia.—Athens Banner.
For Thin
Babies
Fat is of great account
to a baby ; that is why
babies are fat. If your
baby is scrawny, Scott’s
Emulsion is what he
wants. The healthy baby
stores as ‘fat what it does
not need immediately for
bone and muscle. Fat
babies are happy ; they do
not cry ; they are rich ;
their fat is laid up for
time of need. They are
happy because they are
comfortable. The fat- sur
rounds their little nerves
and cushions them. When
they are scrawny those
nerves are hurt at every
ungentle touch. They
delight in Scott’s Emul
sion. It is as. sweet as
wholesome to them.
Send, for free sample.
tße sure that this picture in
the form of a label is on the
wrapper of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy.

Have arranged’ with Mrs. Emma Mof
lett Tyng of New York to give two of
her famous illustrated lectures at Bre
nau Auditorium in the interests of their
church fund, “The Holy Grail” and
the “Oberammergau Passion Play.”
Both lectures are illustrated with beau
tiful stereopticon views and music by
Brenau artists. Mrs. Tyng has given
these lectures widely in New York and
the large cities of the North and West.
She has made a splendid reputation as
an interesting and attractive speaker,
and has just received an appointment as
a lecturer at chatauqua next summer.
These lectures are to be given at Ath
ens, Savannah, and most of the Georgia
cities during Mrs. Tyng’s stay in the

I community to enjoy the best that is
offered in music and art with a deeply
religious and spiritual meaning, The
Holy Grail, a story of Knighthood, is
of particular interest for the masonic
orders, and the Passion Play is known
all over the world. The very low price
of admission, 35 cents, should insure a
large audience.

LETTER TO W. N. DYER,
Gainesville, Ga.
Dear Sir: Thomas J-Brannon, drug

Westerly painters expect a gallon of
paint to cover 19 sets of blinds; Devoe

very shabby.)
Devoe covers more; of course, we
know that; we know why too; it’s all
paint and full measure. Y ours truly

Woolen Factory for Gainesville?
It is stated on good authority that.
Gainesville may soon have a woolen fac-'
tory. The promoters of the enterprises
are not yet in position to give out any *
detailed information of their plans,
but the factory is by no means an
improbable prospect. Such an industry
besides furnishing employment to a
number of operatives with all that means
to the business interests qf the
place, will prove an incentive to wool
growing in this section of the state,
where exceptional conditions, according J
to those who know, exist for the profit-'
able raising of sheep.
Vault for the Clerk’s Office-
“It doesn’t seem that the grand jury i
recommendations do much good in some ’
matters,” said a well known citizen last■
; week, in discussing the recent actions
lof the late grand jury. “If I remember
correctly, the last two or three grand:
juries have recommended that the office
in the rear of the office of the clerk of
' the superior court be fitted up and a
strong, safe, fire-proof vault be installed
there for the keeping of the public rec-;
ords of the county, the present vault;
> space being far too inadequate for the i
daily increasing amount of records.
But no vault has been put in. The last
grand jury, I see, noting no doubt the
delinquency, gently hinted at the need
■ and didn’t dare recommend the vault, j
| thinking, doubtless, that it would be of
I little avail.” i

The G. M. Ry. Business
Has been picking up right along for the
past few weeks. It is now handling a
great deal of freight—some cotton, more
corn and other farm products than
usual, and a great deal of bulk fertil
izers. The passenger trafic is also im
proving.
Forty-Four Deeds Recorded.
During last week 44 deeds to the
Southern Railway were recorded jn the
clerk’s office at the court house' The
oldest of the instruments was made be
fore 1850, while the latest was given in
1872.
The County Board of Education
Will meet at the County School Com
missioner’s office at the coin chouse next
Wednesday, Feb. Sth. There is consid
erable business to be transacted, and it
is probable that at that time trustees
may be selected for the schools ih the
county.
More than $5,000 for the Schools.
The county school commissioner,
Prof, T. H. Robertson, last week re
ceived from the state school commis
sioner $5,533 for the county school teach
ers, being the last quarterly payment
for the work of 1904. The next pay
ment, for the first quarter of the current
year, will be paid about March Ist.
Important Notice!
The Woman’s Foreign Missionary So
ciety of the First Methodist church will
hold the most important meeting of the
year next Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock
at the residence of Mrs. Will Evans on
Green street. Every member is espe
cially urged to lay other business aside
and be present for one hour at this meet
ing. By direction of the president, Mrs.

New Bell at New Holland.
A fine new church bell has been hung
at the new church recently erected at
New Holland. It is a big 1,2C9 pound
er and has a deep rich mellow tone
which can be heard for several miles.
It was formerly in a church at Spartan
burg at one of the mill settlements
which was injured by tlie water-spent
of June, 1903. The bell was washed
away at that time, but was afterward
recovered.
Many True Bilis.
The last grand jury was a record
breaker for the number of indictments
considered. The solicitor general drew *
more than 100 bills. Many went from
the city court under the new rule allow
ing a demand for indictment. There
were 50 true bills found, and 17 “no
hUU” returned. A great number were
passed over as v for
the next grand jury•, Os the cases v
went up from the city court only one, it
is said, that was made by Bud Smith,
was returned “no bill.” Many cases
which were carried into the city court
by private parties weie found to be of
not enough importance to call for in
dictment. The preceding grand jury
found only about a dozen true bills.
A Heater for the Court House.
Almost the entire court last Saturday
went before the grand jury to urge the
passage of a recommendation for a steam
heater for the court room. The recom
mendation will be duly found in the pre
sentments which appear in another place
in this paper. The January court usu
ally meets with some severe weather
within the two weeks of the term.
With the present arrangement it is im
possible to secure and maintain uni
formly comfortable temperature in the
room. In the neighborhood of the
stoves it is insufferably hot. while a
short distance away it is very cold.
Court business was badly hampered last
week and a number of lawyers, jurors,
and others are ill fiom the grippe and
colds and pneumonia brought on by the
extremes of temperatuae.
Thomas-Dunlap.
A marriage of much interest to a large
circle of our readers took place Wednes
day, the 18th instant, at Gainesville Ga.,
when Mr. W. C. Thomas, orginally of
this place, was united m marriage to
Miss Frances Dunlap.
The marriage was a very prominent
event of the metropolis of the Blue
Ridge, guests from South Carolina be
ing present. The family of the bride is
not only well known, but most popular,
Col. S. C. Dunlap, the father, being
very prominent in North Georgia.
The bride herself, has a host of friends
and is worthy of the love and friendship
of which she is the object. She is said
to be a beautiful, lovely and domestic
young woman.
The home of the bride wasZhe scene .
of the happy and auspicious event. All
of the rooms on the i'»wer floor, and the
spacious hall were Hied with guests.
One of the rooms was devoted to pres
ents, which were very numerous, en
tirely filling four large tables. Pictures,
china, brie a brae, cut glass, and silver
filled ever available space.
After the ceremony the bride and
groom left for a trip in the flowers.
The groom, as many of the readers of
this paper know, comes of a noted -and
honorable ancestry. Col. John S.
Thomas, the grandfather, was a large
antebllum landholder, with a multitude
of slaves. He was one of the largest
planters in this section of the state. He
was also a veteran of two wars, his title
being won by arduous military service.
The grandmother of Mr. Thomas was
of noble Welsh extraction, and in her
day was one of the most cultured and
gracious of woman and hostesses.
The parents of Mr. Thomas (the father
has been dead several years "s have
worthily maintained the lion.. the
family, being esteemed and love y a
large circle of friends.
This paper wishes for the happy young
people a sunlit voyage and a happy end.
