Engagement Broken, Can't Regain
Ring.
Norfolk, March 7.—A man can
not recover an engagement ring
from a woman on the plea that it
was only a loan, when the latter
produces love letters in proof of her
engagement. So decided a Norfolk
jury in the case of Herbert Wilson
against Miss Marrie Justis, of this
city. Wilson sued to recover a dia
mond ring valued at SBSO.
The jury took out with it a batch
of love letters introduced by the
defendant and returned in half an
hour awarding her the ring which
she had refused to give up when the
engagement was broken off.
Brought Here for Interment.
The remains of Mr. Edwin P.
Williams, formerly of Nachoochee
Valley, but who for some time past

burned to death in a big fire in St.
Louis Monday. Mr. Williams was
a nephew of Mrs. J. L. Johnston
formerly of this city, but now of At
lanta, and was well known in the
city as well as throughout the county.

A New Parsonage.
From Church Tidings.
The last week’s issue of the Wes
leyan Christian Advocate contains
the following lines in an editorial
on our church dedication: “Oue of
handsomest and best equipped
churches that Methodism has in
Georgia is First Methodist Church
in the beautiful mountain city of
Gainesville. It cost in the neigh
borhood of $60,000. And now that
the adjoining lot is in their possesion
tor a new parsonage, that they very !
much need and soon expect to
build, tin y have property there ,
easily worth §75,000.”
Bishop Denny spoke words of
congratulation and commendation
concerning the church and then ex- ;
horted to build a home for the pas
tors in keeping with the church and ’
he would return and dedicate the j
Parsonage. Last spring in the light
and glow of our gracious revival i
Brother Luthei B. Bridgets called
upon all present favoring the build
ing of a new parsonage to manifest
it. It seemed to be unanimous with
eigiit hundred or a thousand pres
ent. When tiie beautiful lot was I
purchased, one reason given was |
“we must have a new parsonage."
It would redound to the honor of
God, and Gainesville Methodism,
and be felt throughout the entire
borders of our great church. There !
is a plan by which it can be done!
easily and wi iiout hurting any-1
body, and bring a blessing to all our!
people. The good women in whose I
hearts the Lord has laid this matter
should be encouraged by every
member. A good engcouager is worth
his weight in gold to an enterprise
that is needed, whether one can
contribute to the object or not.
The Humane Society.
The third regular meeting of the
Hail County Humane society was
held last Friday evening at the
Princeton Hotel. Luther Roberts,
of the committee on organization,
presented a report on constitution
and by laws, which with few unim
portant changes, were tentatively
adopted, and final action on same
will be taken at the next meeting
which will be held tomorrow (Fri
day) evening, at 8 o’clock, at the
residence of Dr. J. H. Downey, 29
E. Spring street.

To the Voter of Hall County:
In making announcement for the
office of Tax Receiver of Hall county,
subject to the action of the primary,
I will say that I am not allied with
any political faction of the county,
but I am in this race independent of
any faction, or interest save my
own and the well-being of the citi
zens of Hall county.
Therefore in making this race I
am going before the people, who are
responsible for the government, and
let them say who shall be their
Tax Receiver, and when they have
spoken 1 will bow to their decision,
though it be adverse to me, because
the will of the people should always
be respected in all matters pertain
ing to their local affairs.
The office of Tax Receiver of Hall
county is one of the most important
in the gift of our people. Its records
should contain the vital statistics of
the largest and richest county in this
section of the State, and control to
a large extent the revenues of the
county, therefore, the duties of the
office should be discharged without
fear or favor, and the burden of tax
ation made to fall on all alike. For
that reason and many other reasons
I will permanently establish an
office in the Court House, where 1
can be seen at any time, when not
making my rounds in the precincts,
for the further convenience of the
people, whom I hope to serve, for
the office should be carefully and
judiciously conducted, and always
open for the transaction of any busi
ness that has to do with the
entry and valuation of property, and
in strict compliance with the law.
All support given me in the ap
proaching primary will be duly ap
preciated, and if the people see fit
to elect me, I pledge to them my
best efforts in the discharge of every
duty of the office. Between now
and the date of the primary I hope
to make a canvass of the entire
county and meet the people face to
face, as far as possible, and get
acquainted with them.
Respectfully,
J. D. LOKEY.

HARDWICK IN RACE
FOR SENATE SEAT.
He Lays His Claim to the Place Beca use of
His Residence in the Southern Part
of State.
Washington, D. C., March 7. —
Representative Thomas W. Hard
wick gave out today a formal an
nouncement for the senate. He will
issue his platform later.
Mr. Hardwick says that while he
has been on terms of close friend
ship with President Wilson and
Senator Hoke Smith he does not
ask the suffrage of the voters of
Georgia on account. Other things
being equal, he says South Georgia
should be favored as Senator
Smith’s colleagues in the senate and
that both senators should not come
from Atlanta.
His statement follows:
“I am a candidate for the United
States senate, to succeed the late
Senator Bacon, subject to the pri
mary election of the democratic
party. Our present senior senator,
the Hon. Hoke Smith, comes from
the northern part of the state, re
siding at Atlanta. It seems that
there is a strong and general senti
ment throughout the state that,
other things being equal, our other
senator should come from some
other part of the state.
“Since I was born in the county
of Thomas, in the extreme south
ern end of the state, and ha' r e lived
practically all my life in the county
of Washington, in the very heart of
middle Georgia, it would seem that
from the standpoint of birth and
residence, my candidacy might be
acceptable.
“I do not wish, however, to be
misunderstood on this question. I
neither believe nor contend that
residence in any particular section,
in and of itself, ought to have su
preme and controlling influence in
the selection of a senator. Os vastly
greater importance is the character
and capacity of each candidate, his
training, experience and fitness for
the service he would be called upon
to render in the senate, and the
character of the service he purposes
to perform in that body.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

DODSON’S GUARANTEE
EXPLAINED BY DODSON
Read What Dodson Says About His
Liver Tone to You Who Suffer
From Constipation
“Dodson’s Liver Tone takes the
place of calomel. Instead of being
dangerous, it is harmless and works
easily and naturally, without bad
after-effects. 1 have authorized Dr.
J. B. George to refund purchase
price (50c.) to you instantly without
question if you are in any way dis
satisfied with it. If Dodson’s Liver
Toue can’t help you, I don’t want
your money.”
That’s how Dodson feels about this
pleasaut-tasting vegetable-liquid
live.r regulator and reliever of con
stipation and biliousness.
The lives of so many people have
been brightened and bettered by this
great remedy that leading druggists
now reccommend it and seven out of
America’s most prominent physi
cians O. K’d it, after thorough
analysis of its ingredients and
effects.
It is generally known that calomel,
being a poison, is a peril to many.
It stays in the system and, while it
may seem to give you temporary
relief, often ‘‘knocks you out” for
several days.
With Dodson’s Liver Tone you
are set right without ache or gripe
and with no bad results to interfere
in the slightest way with your regu
lar occupation and habits. So great
a number of former sufferers from
constipation and inactive liver have
been vastly benefited by Dodson’s
Live)’T?‘D.* that it would seem with,
for you io give it a trial now’.
Children like it and it does wonders
for them.
