Letter to H. H- Perry
Gainesville, Ga
Dear Sir : This happend seven years
ago. A man, having three little
poultry houses, bought one gallon of
each of two paints to paint theft’.; paid
$1.60 for one and $1.75 for the other, 15
cents difference.
The gallon pain red one i.ou-'-.
the $1.75 gallon painted the other two
houses. The cost of the paint was::
first hou.se $’ 60; one i>ou-e
third house 87 .<
But paint::. f wit;: .and .r
"* costs as ranch topamt <'.• a.c*aeai
other, about a garc:.
The painting of one of • • ~>-e.
with $1.60 pa nt cost i’.c san.-.- &- that
of the other twe wn!. $ jiwn • X ■
Difference U 75 a ’ :r.-e way a
the 75 cents. .
Four years ago, he painted that Lrst
little house again, same paint—lie
wanted to know what the cost of keep
ing a house well-painted really is. The
other two houses didn’t need painting.
Last year he painted ail three little
bouses, same paints as at first; and
reckoned his cost to date of beginning
the j >b.
> The first little house had cost $5.10
twice, or $10.20, and wa« ready to paint
again; the second two houses had cost
$5.20. and were ready to paint again.
That is; saving 15 cents a gallon
made one house cost twice as much as
the other two houses, besides the fuss
of an extra paint job in three years.
The $1.75 paint was Devoe.
This ta'e is made-up of a thousand
experiences. Devoe is always the paint
that takes lees gallons,costs less money,
wears longer, less fuss. And the cost
of Devoe is about one-fourth of the co->t
of a paint that doubles the gallons.

GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1910.
HARRY FOSTER ARRESTED.
Charged with Working a “Con Game” on
Gainesville Woman.
fr'-**-
Harry Foster, who a few months
ago married Miss Maude Cheek, ;
was arrested in Atlanta Monday
; afternoon and is lodged in jail here,
charged with obtaining money un- '
der false pretense. • -5
Mrs. T. U. Robertson, widow of
I the late T. U. Robertson, whore-,
sides on Johnson street, claims tMk
be Foster’s victim. Upon reading;
of his arrest on a White Slave
charge in Atlanta recently, Mrs.
Robertson swore out a warrant for'
his arrest on a charge of swindling.
The Sheriff visited Atlanta and
took Foster in charge He was
given a prelinary hearing Tuesday
afternoon, and bound over to thU
grand jury.
Mrs. Robertson stated to an
Eagle reporter who called at her
home Tuesday evening that Foster
had got $l4O from her under the
pretense of securing money from i
! a Cincinnati! firm. She said that
ion the 10th of January he be-I
| gan coming over to her house in;
company with his wife, and on the i
I2tb, while she was milking in the j
back yard, that he approached her
asking why she worked that way,
when money could be secured much
easier. He then began drawing a
beautiful picture on the woman’s
imagination of the happiness and
enjoyment found with money, and
told her of a lodge that she could
join in Cincinatti where she could
secure 5 dollars to 1, in greenbacljy
SMI sc.- wranght
new idea that she readily accepted
his proposition and began making
arrangements for a trip to Jackson
ville, Fla., where she could secure
the money. When they arrived at
Jacksonville on the 14th, Foster
took her money and left her in the
depot.
She is a poor widow. The $l4O
represented all her savings. AV hen
she returned from Jacksonville she
was penniless, and had to sell a cow,
one of her means of support, to
help herself and children.
Foster was interviewed in his cell
early Tuesday evening. His story
and that of Mrs. Robertson were
not alike. He is confident of com
ing clear.
Efforts to secure his release un-
■ til next term of court are being
made by relatives of his wife.
Foster’s arrest came in a most
singular manner. \\ bile in At
lanta, recently, he and a couple ul
other men were engaged m starting
out;a medicine show. 1 wenty girls
were secured and the show re
hearsed. A preacher who lived in
the boarding house with roster
.had him arrested, charged with
aiding white stave traffic. In re
i corder s, court lie .*.-iai-'ol.
.Mrs. Robert-' l ],. . ~-v -;ne article
■ printed in the Atlanta Journal about
the affair, and told Mierifi < row of
it. The Sheriff tainid:ate;y
j vised her to '•wear out a warrant
against him, w: icb ‘■he J;d. jlhs
i arrest followed.
I Late yesterday afternoon it was
i learned that several others claim
to have been swindled out oi
money by this man and his schemes,
but their names are being kept a
close secret. As to the truth of
tins rumor it is not as yet known.
A Card of Thanks.
' We desire to express to our
' friends our most sincere apprecia
tion oi the kindness shown, the gen
erous offers made and the deep con
cern and sympathy manifested for
us -luring the recent sevirc illness
in our home.

VOTEjOHONOS.
Everybody Patriotic —Wearing But
tons —Election Saturday.
Do Your Dufy and Vote for Bonds —We Need
Them; You Need; Gainesville Needs Them;
Everybody Needs Them.
Do your duty!
That will be the watchword at
the polls Saturday.
On Saturday, the bond election
; will come off. If this movement is
successfully carried through,Gaines
ville’s future dawns in the east with
Abe rising sun. If it fails the sun
setting in the west will have com
pany. For that reason, for your
and your family’s good, Gaines
ville’s good, Gainesville’s progress,
-our health, our safety and comfort,
every level-headed, healthy-minded
man should not only vote for bonds,
but lend us his help. From all
prospects, bonds .are going to be
carried by a good majority—if you
[conic out and vote.
The crisis is at hand. Gaines
ville’s turning point and future are
at stake. Bonds will be our salva
tion.
Why would you go to the polls
o i Saturday and vote against bonds
merely because you are afraid that
measly little stretch of property
that has never been worth anything
to you, and unless you secure bonds,
never will, will be taxed a little bit?
Gainesville has prepared to show
the world what it is made 01, and
i las started out right to do it. By
■Luiiday morning we will know its
VfcGafriesville is no longer a
Tomitrv liamret; we
backw’oods ways, and no longer do
we want to live in the Antidelu
vian age. We are going to get out
of it, ami when we do we are going
to stay out.
Help Gainesville get out, brother.
You have the power, and right
now is about the only time yoy will
ever have a chance to use it, so
exercise your judgement.
We leave it with you. This is
the last call. Don’t go to the polls
half decided, and let the Philistines
catch you.
Don’t listen to the bellyachers—
the bellyachers we have with us
always. They will criticize every
thing. We don’t expect the comet
to come up to their expectations
the latter part of this month.

Riverside Loses First.
Four ami two in favor of (’lemson
was the outcome of Riverside’s first
game on their Carolina trip Monday
afternoon.
The game was good, Milligan,
who was in the box for the Prep,
school team, held down Clems >n
wonderfully, allowing them only 6
-hits. Riverside secured 5. Clem
son rnad< 4 errors and River-ide 2.
The Riverside team was accorded
an ideal reception upon their arri
val in Clemson, and were treated
with the best in stock.
A HAPPY OUTCOME.
A Bond Commission is Selected, and Now the
Whole Town is for Bonds. One Man
From Each Ward, Mayor and One
Councilman on Commission.
At the anti-bond meeting, held at
the court house Tuesday night, a
bond commission was suggested to
the Council.
This agreed upon, and lit teen cit
izens selected, live from each ward,
to present two men from each ward
for one to be selected for the bond
commission.
At a meeting of the Council
Wednesday afternoon, P. N. Parker
was spokesman for fifteen men, and
he submitted the following men for
election: A. E. Merritt, J. B.
Gaston, first ward; H. B. Smith,
AV. G. Mealor, second ward; P.
N. Parker, S. C. Dunlap, Sr.,
third ward.
The bond commission was elected
as follows;
R. D. Mitchell, Mayor.
M. B. Carter, councilman.
A. E. Merritt, first waid.
11. 13. Smith, second ward.
P. F. Parker, third ward.
This commission is to take charge
of the Bond Issue, if one is voted.
After this commission has been
elected, it now seems that the entire
city is for bonds. Everybody puts
faith and trust into these five gen
tlemen, and those formerly against
the election are now pulling for it.
The sky is now clear, and Gaines
ville’s future is secure.
The men selected iare the very
best in the city. Thfcy will .serve
without'compensation.

THE EAGLE’S OLD CLOCK.
One of the Most Faithful Servants in Any Shop
in the State.
Twenty-five years is a ripe old
age for a clock, and just an ordinary
clock at that. A clock that is iix
good working order after it ha.-
passed that age is a good piece
workmanship.
On the Eagle force is a clock that
old; 25 years ago it was installed.
Not a day since has it missed a
stroke and not over 5 minutes has it
gone behind or ahead the Eastern
time. Clocks very seldom are
blessed with titles, but this one has
been dubbed “Nancy” by a former
printer, and Nancy has it since
been called.
Mr. Jim Ashford, one of the
city’s veterans in the printing pro
fession, wound this old time piece
for 20 years. Out of that 20
he missed only one Monday morn
ing, and it happend that yeas*
Christmas day came on Monday,
and the force was off. The old'
clock missed its master that Monday
and a new hand at the helm found
the timepiece rather unruly. But to
its joy, next Monday found “Mr.
Jim” back at the helm again and
the old clock was happy.
Since Air. Ashford’s leaving the
Eagle, Nancy has found new mas
ters. It has not only one, but every
one on the force takes a hand in
winding it.
The old clock is not contrary, but
it must not enjoy such irregularity,
and we believe it would be much
happier it only one would be its
master.
j ??■' aWaar d had laid on ’'A
old clock as often as a pair of eyes
have been cast at it, we would have
no clock. AA'e can almost account
for it age by its being hypnotized—
the secret of hypnotism being in the
eyes. It draws more attention thaw
any other thing in the plant—every
day at twelve and five thirty, if at
these hours of the day, a bunch cd
ballet girls were stationed at one
side of the room, opposite the
clock, and at three minutes to
twelve or . five twenty-seven Began
dancing, they would not stand any
show at all with old Naney. It is
not because they do not want to
see the girls—far from it—but it
has gotten t > be a babit. All eyes
would be glued on the clock. Maybe
after twelve or five thirty tbo
girls might draw a good deal of at
tention, bit not until then. Maybe
o. i Nanev has not learned a little
about the hypnotizing game!
It is a grand old clock. A
masterpifc-’ of mechanism, even if
tbeworl loes not know it. AA'Ab
out it tnc Eagle would bo lost.
A\ r i’:i :* ti ■ Eagle is h.ippy. Some
say t .. goddess of luck. AVe
are ru:U ; Inclined to believe it is..
We oidv wi-.i it were human x? it
could lei ;.s of some of the trial--
and trib.f.ri >n; the joys and pleas
ure’; tl ances and escapades
that tii. E.,gle has parsed during
its inst.ii'i: Did Nnmy has
seen printer- me and go. It has
eilentlv pa 1 "- •' ts commendation or
on each issue of the
paper.
It L;..- _• e'.r ; ! the plant at night,
and who k:.ow« but that if old
Nanev v u’ l *a.k. we would be much
wiser than we now are. Just as,
long as tl. -an Eagle, there s?
home for Nancy, and long as there
is a Nancy there will be a goddess
of luck for the Eagle.
In the life cf old Nancy, one is
turned to the Song of the Brook:
Printers may come and printers
may go, but old old Nancy goes
on forever.
