Hail County Talent Should Capture Many of These Prizes. SCIENTIFIC TEMPERANCE PRIZES. A State prize of SIO.OO in gold will be awarded to the best-high school prize essay written by a boy or girl in a local high school contest. The essay shall be entered for the Na tional high school prize of 150.00. GRAMMAR GRADE PRIZE. A State prize of $5.00 in gold will be awarded to the best grammar grade prize essay written by a boy or girl in a local grammar grade contest. COLLEGE PRIZE. The State offers $25.00 for the best essay written by any college or uni versity student of either sex on the topic, “The Relation of Individual Total Abstience to the Prosperity of the Nation.” THE w. C. T. U. CONTEST. Last year a former Gainesville boy won the state prize of $25.00 in gold offered by the W. C. T. U. of Geor gia, and we know that we have other boys and girls who can do just as well if they will try. The win ner in the State contest will have his essay entered in the National contest. A prominent temperance worker in Gainesville has offered a prize of $3.00 for the best essay in Hall County. If the young people will enter this contest there doubtless will be other local prizes offered. The best essay from the county will then be entered for the state, and if it wins there will contend in the National. There is living in Gainesville now a young man who won in his local contest, then in the State contest, and I think, but I am not sure, that he won also in a National contest. With so much encouragement as our young students may receive from Mr. Singleton having won both local and State prizes, and from Mr. Garland Robeson winning the State prize, it does seem that Hall County should have a large number of contestants. All particulars as to subjects and maximum and minimum number of words can be secured by applying to the President of the*local W. C. T. U., Gainesville, Ga. Building Home. Mr. J. H. Elrod is building a modern six-room house on Green Street Circle, in which he will live when completed. He recently pur chased this lot from Col. W. B. Sloan. Good Man Gone. Mr. B. F. Dunagan, aged 53 years, died at his home Monday in Glade district after a short illness. Mr. Dunagan was well known in Gaines vill and throughout the county. He was a member of the Methodist church and a devout Christian. The deceased is survived by four brothers and two sisters. The fu neral occurred at Dunagan’s Chapel yesterday morning, Revs. E. J. Hammond and D. W. Cook per forming the obsequies. Will Get Boys for Throwing. A crowd of little boys were haled into police court Tuesday charged with fighting and throwing rocks. Mayor Rudolph let the little fellows go; without a fine, but warned them that they had better stop throwing rocks, or they would eventually get into trouble. The officers did right by bringing up the boys, for there are many little boys who throw rocks and never look to see where they are going to strike. The Eagle windows have been victims of many rocks carelessly or otherwise thrown by boys. The Players Club. Did you see ’em? See what? That classy Players Club pull off stunts like veterans at Brenau Mon day night. The theater-goers of the city w’ere delighted with the play, “Between Acts,"[given by the Players Club of the Gainesville High School. Here is who this club is composed of: Heyward Hosch, Louise Law, Louie Lathem, Frances Hobbs, Pinkney Whelchel, Rufus Hulsey, Estelle Boggs. How could it be anything else but good with these promising young people of Gainesville as leaders? GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MARCH 26, 1914. DR. KENDALL DEALS WITH IN- DIFFERENT CHURCH MEMBERS. "If IVe Meglect So Great Salvation,” Sub ject of Sunday Night’s Discourse, with Touch on Apathetic Church Members. Perhaps one of the ablest sermons that has ever been preached in the First Methodist Church was that of Dr. T. R. Kendall Sunday night, on the Indifferent Church Member. Dr. Kendall, sizing up the number present, made an appology for preaching this sermon at this time, saying that the faithful few should not be counted in with the members of indifference that he was going to talk about. According to the writer’s idea, this was the strongest sermon that has ever been preached in the First church of this city, with no appol ogy to the great evangelists that have shaken the brethren over the burning coals. ijDr. Kendall dwelt at length upon the church members who could al ways find wraps enough to keep from .taking pneumonia going to their work when the weather was inclement, but who could not find enough overcoats and umbrellas and overshoes in town to prevent a case of lagrippe if it was raining when they started to church. And on Wednesday nights,if there happened to be a show in town, the indifferent church member can al ways be found at the theater, just merely passing the time away. It never gets too wet or too dry or too hot or too cold to attend a theater. Dr. Kendal] was not talking of the members present Sunday night —the faithful few, as he termed them. He was speaking of those who can and do go to other places, rather than church, when they could attend church. Blaze at Oil Mill. The fire department was called to the Oil Mill last Friday night to ex tinguish a blaze that had originated in the Company’s office from a de fective stove flue. By quick work on the part of the firefighters very little damage was done. Registrars on the Job. Messrs. J. B. Gaston, C. A. Dozier and H. E. Mundy, registrars, are busy purging the registration books this week, in order to have them ready for use in the coming primary, to be held April 10th. The list is the largest the county has ever known. Mr. Mealor 111. The hosts of friends of Mr. R. I. Mealor will regret to learn of his se vere illness at his home on S. Main street. Mr. Mealor has been suffer ing for some time, and last Friday afternoon he was taken seriously ill, but this morning it is reported that he is more cheerful, despite the fact that he had an unrestful night. Pension Money Delayed. The money for the State pension ers has been due for several weeks, but is not yet forthcoming. Ordi nary Whelchel went down to At lanta a few days ago to see about it, and was told that the money had not yet been turned into the pension office, and no one knew when this would be done. The fact is the State is in a con dition of stringency all the time. A D. A. R. Chapter. The ladies of Gainesville w 7 ho are interested in organizing a chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution are requested to meet me in the parlor of the Princeton Hotel Thursday, March 26th, 3.30 p. m. Ai this time a chapter w 7 ill be organized, name selected, and officers elected. All interested are cordially invited to be present. Sophie Lee Foster, State Regent D. A. R., Ga. At St. Paul Sunday. Rev. W. W. Benson has returned from Jefferson and will fill the pul pit at both services Sunday at St. Paul. Dr. Benson has been in Jef ferson for several days assisting Mr. Dunbar of the Methodist church there in a series of meetings. Mr. Benson says that the Baptist, Pres byterian and all joined in and helped the Methodists, and that j they had a mighty good meeting, i Special music has been arranged at St. Paul for Sunday. Established in 1860. JIM CANTRELL GETS LEASE ON LIFE FROM GOVERNOR A Respite Until April 24 Has Been Granted the Convicted Man—Bartow’s Case Before Supreme Court. Governor Slaton last Friday granted a reprieve until April 24th in the case of Jim Cantrell, pending the decision of Bartow’s case, which was argued on the 16th before the supreme court. It seems that the rumor of last week that Governor Slaton would take no further steps in Jim’s case was without foundation. Just when the case of Bartow will be decided by the Supreme Court is not known, but it is expected that the court will pass upon it w’ithin a few days. Bartow, a strong robust fellow, seems to be oblivious of his surround ings—doesn’t seem to care much which way the wind blows, while the atmosphere of the jail from long incarceration is beginning to tell on I Jim. He seems to be perfectly resigned to his fate, and expresses his opin ion that Bartow will never hang. Hon. Robt. McMillan Announces for re-election to the of fice of Solicitor-General of the Northeastern Circuit. He has made a good record as a prosecuting offi cer and has made hundreds of friends and admirers by his genial and gentlemanly bearing. If Wasn’t Phagan Case. Attorney Luther Z. Rosser of At lanta was in Gainesville for a short time Saturday, many suspecting that he was here after evidence in the -Frank case, but he wasn’t; it was only a case of very little impor tance. - Mr. Frank Perry, An «>ld boyhood friend of Mr. J. W. Smith, stopped over to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith last week. They re newed their youth in talking over the days of “Auld Lang Syne,” and although Mr. Perry has lived in Philadelphia for years, he was im pressed with our little city. Uncle Snakeeafer Dead. Old Uncle Sam Everson, an old darkey known to many as Snake eater, the fortune teller, died Mon day at his home on the Athens road. The old negro always wore a mirror on the front of his cap when telling a fortune, and was familiar about the streets for many years. He always carried a pounch strapped on his shoulders and wore sheep skin around his legs, and never wore shoes. Program History Club, March 28, 1914, Mrs. W. H. Slack, hostess.

Adams Announces his candidacy for State Senator. Mr. Adams made a good record during his several years ser vice in the lower house of the legis lature. We don’t think any one can put their finger on a measure that he advocated that was not for the good of the people, and on this record he will ask your vote for the Senate. Fight on Negro Judge. Senators Hoke smith, West, Over man, Vardaman, Reed and other southern senators will organize an active fight against the confirma tion of Robert H. Terrell, a negro, who has been appointed as judge of the municipal court of the district of Columbia. Senator Smith voted against a favorable report of the judiciary committee today. No Danger of Smallpox. The Alamo Theater has been thoroughly fumigated under the di rection of the city physician, on ac count of the recent smallpox scare. All cases reported in the city are of a very mild nature resembling chick en pox, but are kept under strict quarantine. The City Physician says it is now perfectly safe to go to the Alamo, as any germs that may have been left there in the past have been killed by the most powerful fumigation. Bishop John C. Kilgo. On Ist Sunday in April, Bishop Kilgo will preach morning and even ing at the First Methodist church, this city.

SI.OO a Year in Advance NUMBER 13 . THE PASSING OF THE NARROW GUAGE R. R. Last Tuesday Wiped Out Narrow Guage Railroads in the State ot Georgia— The Midland the Last One. With this issue of the Eagle appears the announcement of a broad guage road from Bellmont to Social Circle, the narrow guage being a thing of the past, so far as Georgia is concerned. The Midland has been the last road to run a narrow guage line, but it has not been her fault. She has climed rapidly. From the old G. J. & S., a little line from here to Social Circle, she has climed to the Great Gainesville Midland. Making a stride that counted in the building of the road from here to Athens, she has rapidly grown, and has had as much business, in the way of passen gers, as well as freight, as she could well take care of, and with this addi tional broad guage from here to Social Circle, she will be able to handle business that she couldn’t touch before. And thus she will continue to grow. It is our private opinion that The Gainesville Midland and the Gaine sville and Northwestern will eventu ally combine, and build a road that will cross the mountains and connect with the L. & N., and inevent of this, they will have additional business that will mean much to Gainesville as well as the lumber and farming country that the Gainesville and Northwestern railroad has opened up. The Midland railway has indeed done well. And they have done it by having live, business and con scientious men at the steering wheel. If they will give us a new depot now, our happiness will be complete. Mr. Grigg Home. Mr. DeWiddie Grigg, son of Dr R. D. Grigg of this city, who has been working in Atlanta for some time past, is visiting his parents in the city this week. Mr. Grigg has many friends here who are always glad to see him. ■ ■ Allday Singing at Harmony. There will be allday singing at Harmony church next Sunday, and Mr. J. W. Beard tells us that they are going to have some good music. He says Prof. J. L. Moore of Beth lehem, J. T. Kemp of Gillsville, and H. F. Garrett of Hoschton will be on hand. Our Home Guard. How few recognize the fact that it is not standing armies nor police battalions that give protection to our lives, homes and property in this good land. Take away the re ligious spirit and moral sentiment kept alive by the poor preachers on posts in country places and city slums, and anarchy would run riot everywhere. Yet the small stipend paid them is often grudgingly given. Their lives are a complete sacrifice, yet few are willing to sacrifice the luxuries of one day for their help. Miss Frieda Gunther. From High School News: It is always a pleasure and a source of gratification to hear of our alumni making a splendid record for them selves. Very few of us seem to j realize that while we are making a i record for ourselves that we are also acting in capacity of standard bearer for the High School. If we make our record good, the record of the High School will be corespon dingly good; but if our record is low, the school record will be low, and the school will be classed as a second rate one. Considering this, it is indeed a source of pleasure to hear that Miss Frieda Gunther has been elected one of the editors of the Annual at G. N. I. C., in Milledgeville. There are ten editors chosen, who stand the highest in their class, out of a class of one hundred and twenty five. We are certainly glad to hear of Miss Gunther’s honor and wish to take this means of congratulating her upon her excellent record. She also has the reputation of being able to do more creditable work than the college permits any one ■ student to undertake. She is there ' fore considered an exceptional girl.
