TO NIY TWO FRIENDS !
Bon voyage, friends of mine,
And may your sea be calm, serene,
And bending skies be e’er a-shine (
With unalloyed love divine;
And as toward the western sunset way
A-glide your barques s.*il o’er the glistening main
All flooding full of fading light of day,
May there be ne’er a sad regret or pain
For what was not or what there might have been—
But only mellowed, malting skies above,
And perfect peace andstrust and perfect love!

May Lose Service.
City May Lose Free Mail Delivery
and K. F. D. No. 7 May be Discon
tinued.
We are informed by the local post
office authorities that the city is in seri
ous danger of losing the free city mail
delivery service this year established.
If lost the prestige Gainesville has
hereby gained would go, and not only
so, but the additional odium of losing
through sheer neglect what might have
been retained. The city council prom
ised to put the sidewalks and crossings
of the city in good condition before the
service was established and the depart
ment inaugurated the service on good
faith in the council’s intentions. Very
little work was done on the sidewalks or
crossings, which were in bad shape.
Little has been done since. The gov
ernment will discontinue the service if
the streets are not put in required con
dition before the winter season begins.
Through failure of the county author
ities to put and keep the road in proper
condition it is likely that rural route
seven will have to be discontinued. The
road is in such bad condition that the
carrier has not been able to make the
trip in anything like the required time.
If this is the case while the roads are
better than at any time in the year, he
would not be able to get half round dur
ing the hard winter months. The
county commissioners are urged to see
that the road is given attention at once.
Manuss —Taylor.
Mr. Roy Manuss and Miss May Tay
lar were united in marriage Tuesday
evening at the home of Squire F. M.
Loden, that official performing the cer
emony. Both young people are of fine
families and have been favorites in a
large circle of friends. While they are
both young the match is purely one of
real devotion and many will wish for
them happiness and long life together.
About “Good Roads.”
Editor Eagle : I notice an article in
your last issue headed "Good Roads.”
/Vbc in -/v/jb -C’icis
from this-'&ecfciou who are cspeeiaUy in
terested in road improvement, went be
fore the Commissioners and presented
tjie claims of the people around White
Sulphur Springs for improvements on
the White Sulphur Springs road to
Gainesville. . The said Commissioners
treated us courteously, and promised us
one week’s work, aud more if necessary.
We left their office feeling happy, and
spread the news extensively to anxious
neighbors, and told them the dreadful
hills would be a thing of the past; but,
to our surprise, only three days were
given us; and when we asked for an ex
planation we were told by one of the
Commissioners that? Mr. Sell had picked
up the men and mules and left for an
other poin| without the knowledge or
authority of the Commissioners, and
was entirely to blame. This caused me
to wonder whether or not it would be
wise in future to bring such matters be
fore the Commissioners, or Mr. Sell,
the man whom -they employ. It is a
well known fact that the Gainesville
and White Sulphur Springs road is
greatly in need of work, and we
still hope the Commissioners will see to
it that the promise they made us is car
ried into effect.
Very truly, H. H. Hale.

From J. P. to Chief Justice.
A local firm is this week preparing
the proper papers in a case for the Su
preme Court of Georgia. The interest
in the case is in the fact that it has
come up the devious way from the Jus
tice Court. It involved only a small
amount —between $25 and $50 —but the
questions at issue are said by those who
are judges of what it takes to constitute
a fine point in law to be delicately
poised and of considerable importance.
The case is Will Parks, colored, vs. J.
F. Simpson. Parks owed Mr. Simpson
an account for 1903 and for 1904. Parks
was a tenant of Simpson. The account
in 1904 was $35.39. Parks paid SSO.
This, without instructions as to how it
should be-credited, was applied by Mr.
Simpson to the the year 1903
and the balance credited on the 1904 ac
count. With the fact that under the
Georgia law the landlord’s claims come
first of all liens, and that the crop shall
stand for the supplies used in making
it, the question becomes involved.
Parks says he intended the amount to
go on the last year’s account. The
justice of the peace in Candler district
held that the landlord had a right to
apply the amount anywhere he chose
since there was no 1 specified direction
given to the credit. A certiorari pro
ceeding got the matter to the superior
court, and new it is going to the high
est tribunal of justice in the common
wealth.

First Hall County Bale.
Sam Rainey, colored, scores again.
He -has redeemed himself for the record
he did not make last year. Abon/ 3.45
o’clock Monday afternoon of this week

bale of cotton of the crop of the current
year raised in Hall county. The bale

county bale by just nine days. Sam

until last year. He says that he would

Pulled Negro Out of Church Steeple.
Sam Thompson, a white man, was
the origin and source of a live little
story which culminated in the mayor’s
court Monday afternoon of this week,
and which resulted in the trial of about
six or seven colored boys and the con
viction of four or five—aud himself,
also. Thompson some days ago claims
to have given Will Cheek, a six-foot
negro, a dollar with which to secure a
quantity of whiskey. He claims further
that he never saw the dollar, the negro,
or the liquor afterward. Last Saturday
Thompson, said to have been feeling his
good spirits, attacked a small negro boy
on Athens street, accused him of the
theft of his dollar, and explaining after
ward that he thought the little three
foot negro was the six-foot Cheek.
Other negroes, small and larger, took
the part of the assailed boy and assisted
materially in defending him against the
attack of Thompson. It is said that
they made it very warm for the white
man as far as Gaines’ shops, where he
turned on Bub Demory, one of the
specially active pursuers, aud gave him
a lively chase. Demory ran. And
kept running. The officers, Special
Police Jim Lathem in the lead, finally
succeeded in twisting Demory out of
the belfry in the steeple of Green Hun
ter’s church.
