Daughters Thank Grand Jury.
Whereas the Daughters of the Con
federacy are raising a fund to erect a
monument on the public square in the
city of Gainesville to the glorious Con
federate dead of the Ninth Congress
ional district that will stand as a re
minder of the immortal deeds done on
the field of battle to coming genera
tions; and
Whereas the incomparable valor of
these illustrious heroes should ever be
kept suspended on memory’s wall as the
acme of all that is noble, pure, and true
ill real citizenship; and
Whereas to this end the Grand Jury
of Hall county, worthy sons of distin
guished sires, in their presentments
recommended a contribution of five
hundred dollars; therefore
Be it resolved, That the undersigned,
a committee of the Longstreet Chapter,
Daughters of the Confederacy, in the
name and behalf of the local chapter,
and all others who love the cause, do
hereby express their deepest gratitude
and sincerest thanks for this liberal
gift, and embrace this opportunity to
commend their nobility of soul to the
public at large.
Be it resolved, further, That the
secretary of our chapter be instructed
to devote a page of the minutes to these
resolutions, inscribing thereon the names
of the Grand Jury who sat at the Jan
uary term, 1905, Hall Superior Court,
who have endeared themselves to us by
their generosity in so noble a sentiment
that the same may be made matter of
record. Mrs. C. O. Sanders,
Mrs. J. C. Dorsey,
Mrs. A. W. Van Hoose,
Mrs. R. E. Andoe,

A Big Month’s Business.
Deputy Revenue Collector Hymen L.
Richardson and his men had a busy
month of it in January rounding up
moonshiners in Rubun and White coun
ties. The following record of the Jan
uary business will be interesting to
many who are laboring under the de
lusion that the illicit distilling of
whiskey in the mountainous districts of
the State is on the wane. These figures
give the dates, the names of the dis
tillers and the number of gallons of
beer “cut down,” but do not include
the several stills raided where no beer
was destroyed and no distillers cap
tured. Here is the list:
Jan. 4, Lester Stancell, 500 gallons;
Jan. 5, Kinney Marcus, 400 gallons;
Jan. 6, Mart Wellborn, 500 gallons;
Jan. 12, J. English, large quantity sing
lings; Jan. 13, M. D. Woodall, 400 gal
lons; Jan. 18, R. L. Dickson, 600 gal
lons; Jan. 18, R. D. Coffee, 1,200 gal
lons; Jan. 19, W. L. Satterfield 1,500
gallons; Jan. 20, Geo. Loggins, 1,600
gallons; Jan. 21, H. Bellew, 500 gal
lons; Jan. 24, F. Einncannon, 1,400
gallons; Jan. 26, Uriah Kelley, 400 gal
lons; Jan. 26, Sid Thompson, 400 gal
lons; Jan. 28, Frank Gibson, 1,800 gal
lons; Jan. 28, John McClain, 7CO gal
lons; Jan. 28, John Laprade, 900 gal
lons. Total for the month: about 20
stills destroyed, 16 moonshiners cap
tured, and nearly 30,000 gallons of beer
cut down. And besides this destruc
tion of about a thousand gallons per
day for the month, the officers had two
days and two contemplated raids to
spare before they left the city this week.
The Frozen Cat?
A few mornings ago, one of those
cold mornings, you recollect, several
passers-by were astonished to see a
large, full-grown, black-and-white spot
ted cat standing motionless in the street
at the rear of Jno. A. Smith’s whole
sale house, with head up and eyes fixed
intently in a sycamore tree on the side
of the street, where dozens of English
sparrows were flitting from bough to i
bough. The animal stood erect with
tail standing out behind and eyes glued
to the birds as if to charm them. Upon
examination it was discovered that the
animal was stone dead. How it came
to be in that position dead is a puzzle
which many discussed.
The Weather Record.
Sunday a week ago was a balmy typi
cal Sunny South day when fires were
hardly needed and the people sat on the
front verandas. Tuesday following
the mercury had shrunk to 5 above zero.
The ground remained frozen to a depth
of several inches until Monday morning
of this week, when after the snow of
Sunday a thaw began. This was the
longest period of freeze known here for
years. The last time the temperature
approximated the cold weather of last
week was on the 13th of February, 1899,
when considerably below zero was
reached.
A Lesson in History.
Mrs. Helen Longstreet, postmaster at
this place, has adorned the walls of the
postoffice lobby with excellent portraits
of a number of the famous commanders
of the Union and Confederate armies.
She has also hung beneath a U. S. shield
which is surmounted by a Union and
Confederate flag a fine portrait of Pres
ident Roosevelt, and in the same frame
as the picture there is an extract from
Mr. Roosevelt’s writings in which high
tribute is paid the memory of the heroes
of the war and an expression of deep
gratification that the bitterness of the
by-gone struggle is fast disappearing.

Teachers Convene.
“The Hall County Teachers’ Associa

urday, Jan. 28. As the weather was
fair and pleasant, there was a goodly
number present.
Henry Floyd of Candler gave a decla
mation on “A wife-hunting deacon.”
Air Line school was represented by Will
Towberon “My first courtship.” Miss
Mattie Little of New Holland recited
“The legend of the organ-builder.”
These pupils did well and deserve credit
for their efforts.
Several of those on the program being
absent, it could not be carried out in
full.
Prof. Whiting of Bellton, a man of
ripe experience, and Mr. Robertson
made some interesting remarks on “The
teacher as a power in elevating citizen
ship.”
A motion was carried to the effect
that each and every member of this As
sociation should write a three to five
minutes essay on this same subject for
the next meeting. “The teacher’s
ideals” and “the ideal teacher” were
discussed by the assembly. The
thanks of the body were tendered to
those who recited.
Mr. Robertson urged that the students
should be informed, encouraged, and
prepared to enter the annual contests
for the Hardman medal.
The merits of literary societies were
discussed and their value to the commu
nity stressed.
A gold medal is offered by the “United
Daughters of the Confederacy” to any
student in Georgia between the ages of
fourteen and eighteen years who will
write the best composition on “The late
war.” Miss Rutherford of Athens has
promised ten dollars in addition to the
medal to the successful contestant.
The contest is to close in April. The
following schools were appointed to
provide a speaker each for the next
meeting: Oakwood, Bellton, Bellview,
Centre, Pleasant Hill, Luck, Danagan,

The third line above describes the peo
ple of Gainesville. na fine cli

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
