GAINESVILLE BOYS ALL KNOW
HOW TO EVADE THE CITY LAW.
Section 68 of the City Code Covers Every
thing but the Matrimonial Bureau.
Our old friend G. W. Walker
tells this, and avers that it really
happened right here last week:
It seems that one night last week
the cops on their rounds came upon
a young man who had called to
spend the evening with his girl,
and had enjoyed the
call thatihe“was staying into the
wee smallihours of the night. Well,
the cops gave the young man and
youngjlady a copy of charges for
disorderly conduct—for hugging
and kissing in the young lady’s par
lor—said offence to be punished as
set out in section 68 of the City
Code—to’be and appear before the
Mayor next day. Now, then.
Mayor Robertson was out of the
city, and likewise was Mayor pro
tern Carter, so the thing rested on
your Uncle George to mete justice
out to the wayward couple.
We asked Uncle George what he
did in a®case of that kind, and he
said: “Well, that is the first case
of the kind I had seen. The young
man lit aj'shuck tor the Ordinary’s
otfice the selfsame night and pur
chased his’license, and thence to the
young lady’s home, and then made
a bee line for Preacher Tucker’s,
married the same night.
There being no law to restrain a man
from kissing his wife, I was com
pelled to turn them loose.”
But, now is there really any law
against a fellow kissing a girl in
her parlor?
Little Infant Dies.
The little infant of Mr. and Mrs.
M. L. Loggins died at their home
Tuesday, from hives. The remains
of the little one were interred in
the family burying ground Wednes
day.
With Newman-Frierson-McEver Co.
Uncle Tom Sutton, the president
of the Black Jack Association, has
accepted a position with Newman
Frierson-McEver Co., where he will
be glad to have his friends call to
see him. The Black Jacks and
Rausum Gitters will be delighted
to know that Uncle Tom is able to
be out again after being sick for a
few weeks.
Death of Rev. T. J. Pearce.
Rev. Thomas Jefferson Pearce,
father of Dr. H. J. Pearce of Bre
nau, died at his residence in Colum
bus Sunday after a brief illness
from a stroke of paralysis sustained
a few days ago. The remains were
brought to Gainesville Monday and
burieb at Alta Vista.
He is survived by his wife and
one son, Dr. H. J. Pearce.
Mr. Pearce was born in 1846 on
a farm in Quitman county, after
ward going to Columbus, where he
married. For a number of years
he was a merchant in Columbus,
and at one time president of the
Columbus Southern railroad.
About ten years ago he retired
from business and entered the min
istry in the Methodist Protestant
church.
Riverside Applies Whitewash.
There was a rattling good game
at the Brenau ball grounds Tuesday
afternoon between Riverside and
Atlanta Medical College, in which
Our home boys daubed the white
wash good and plenty on the visitors.
Williamson and McClure were
the battery for Riverside, with
Blackburn and Debbelle on the
mound for the Atlantans.
The score was 6 to 0 in favor of
Riverside.
Hits by Riverside, 14; Medical
College, 8.
Struck out —by Williamson, 12;
by Blackburn, 4.
The superorty cf the Riversiders
was the plainest thing ever. They
made rings all around the visitors.
They stole many bases, and sus
tained many casualties in the at
tempt; but it showed plenty ginger
and nerve, which is pretty sure to
win in base ball.
Two running catches were made
in the outfield that would have
made Ty himself turn green.
Pioneer Citizen Dead.
Judge Garland H. Prior died at
his residence Sunday evening at 7
o’clock after a brief illness from a
stroke of paralysis, having, bppn in
an unconscious condition since last
Thursdav morning.
He was 62 years of age, and had
lived in Gainesville since 1874, hav
ing come to the city from Morgan
county, where he was born and
reared. He entered shortly into the
practice of law at this place, in which
he was successful.
He was also Judge of Hall City
Court for twelve years, and it was
during this time that he received
the first stroke of paralysis that
necessitated his resignation from
this office.
For the past few years Judge
Prior has been connected with the
Gainesville National Bankas cashier
which position he held until it was
seen that his health would not per
mit of his being confined to a men
tal strain. He resigned this posi
tion, and accepted the position of
attorney with the same bank, and
was serving in this capacity at the
time of his death.
Judge Prior was also deeply in
terested in the promotion of educa
tion, and had served for several
years on the City Board of Educa
tion, of which he was Secretary and
Treasurer, and was a member of the
Board of Trustees of Brenau Col
lege.
Judge Prior was a member of the
First Baptist church, having united
with this church in early manhood,
and had always lived a life that
was an exemplary one. He had
been honored by his fellow mem
bers some years back with the office
of deacon, in which station he was
serving when thp end came.
He was elected mayor of Gaines
ville in 1881 and gave the city an
honorable and successful adminis
tration.
There was a pathetic incident
connected with the death of Judge
Prior. Just before he received the
fatal stroke he was passing Charley
.Merck's store —the graphophone was
playing “God be with you till we
meet again;” he entered and listened
to the song with rapt attention, and
at the close said, “what a beautiful
song—what sweet expression.” He
walked out, and in a few minutes
was stricken with paralysis and
never spoke again. The last music
he ever heard on earth—God be
with you till we meet again.
He is survived by his wife and
one sister, Mrs. England, of Barbers
ville, Kentucky.
The funeral services were held
from the church at 10 o’clock Tues
day morning, conducted by Rev.
J. E. Hampton, pastor, assisted by
Rev. P. T. Hale of Louisville, Ky.,
an old friend of Mrs. Prior’s
The pallbearers were, J. H. Hunt,
T. H. Robertson, J. C. McConnell,
W. A. Crow, M. C. Brown and M.
M. Ham. The local bar association
attended the funeral m a body, as
did the children of the public
schools, the schools having closed
to pay a last tribute to the deceased.
The remains were laid to rest in
the family burying lot at Alta Vista.
The Eagle with a long concourse
of friends join in extending heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved ones.
