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.

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. NUMBER 35. Dodd —Haynes. Mr. B. P. Dodd and Miss M. O. Haynes were quietly but happily mar ried at the home of Squire H. H. Stev ens in the upper part of the county last Saturday, that good-natured officer per forming the ceremony which united these hearts. H. H. Wood Moves to Town. Mr. H. H.

Geo. B. Cortelyou, Postmaster General. 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.
