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. 59 F." W. DEVOE & CO P. S., M. C. Brown sells our paint. Brenau Epitomized.

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.

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. Underwood—Smith. Mr. Pau!

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. t y_ 4 - GAINESVILLE BOY MAKES GOOD. In First Try-Out, Gainesville Boy Plays Good Game With Riverside. It will be of much interest to many Gainesville tans to know that our city has- a representative on the Riverside nine. Last year, several local players tried out for the team but failed to make good. This year there was only one to try —he secured the position. The aforementioned youngster is Northen Mitchell, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Mitchell, who reside on Boulevard. Young Mitchell played star ball m Virginia last season, and won much credit and commen dation for his nitty work.

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.

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. - ♦ Ladies Attention.
