STATE l¥. C. T. U.
OFFERS SPLENDID PRIZES.
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.

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.

Which Previously Headed the List.
Washington, March 20. —The sec- !
ond largest cotton crop ever grown, •
amounting to 14,127,356 equivalent
500-pound bales of lint and 639,795
equivalent 500-pound bales of linters,
was produced by the farmers of the
United States during 1913, the cen
sus bureau announced today in its
preliminary report of cotton ginned

Hon. J. 0. 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.
The visit of this truly great preach
er is only of a social character to
pastor and people. For force of

few peers in our country.
A native of South Carolinia and
president several years of Trinity
College, N. C. He was elected
Bishop 8 years ago. He is a conse
crated and truly remarkable man

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.
