CORONER’S JURY HOLDS
NEGRO WOMAN FOR MURDER.
Charged with Causing the Death of Gussie
Clyde—Dead Negro Sister of Spot
■■ i M
Clyde, Murdered a Month ago.
At the coroner's held over
the body of Gussie Clyde, a negro
woman, it was decided from the
evidence that her death was caused
at the hands of Rosa Johnson,
another negro woman, and charged
the latter with abortion.
Rosa’s treatment consisted of a
tea of some kind, which made the
patient very sick, and later the
Johnson woman operated on Gussie
Clyde, from the effects which she
died.
The Johnson woman will be tried
for murder at the July term of Hall
Superior court.
Recital at Brenau.
Miss Leta Coleman will give her
recital of the “Blue Bird” on next
monday night in the Aduitorium.
All invited.
Special Services at St. Paul
In the absence of the pastor, Rev.
W. W. Benson, Prof. Mershon will
fill the pulpit at St. Paul Sunday
morning, and a good attendance is
expected.
The 7 o’clock hour will be turned
into a song service, and if you love
good singing, which of course you
do —everybody does —you won’t miss
this service.
The people down at St. Paul are
the guys who took the “sin” out of
sing.
A Big Hit
Millettes Famous Show all next
week. When it comes to top notch
Vaudevillians Millettes Famous
show has got it over all others in this
class, the costumes, settings and
general appearance of each and every
member is a treat to the eye. Mr.
Al and Arthur Millette with their
many different acrobatic acts are a
whole show within themselves.
Mr. Arthur Cardin the talented
young actor and singer helps to keep
all in good cheer. Mlle Irene the
dainty soubrette is as clever in her
line as anything ever seen in Gaines
ville. Will Corkling, the black
face comedian of the show is one big
scream and keeps the audience in an
uproar, but with all that, no one has
it on Miss Ida Reevess the sweet
7 singer and character actress of the
company, as the landlady in “Oh
What A Mistake,” shows clever hit
of character work which helps to
make the comedy a big success.
The company will be here all
next week.

Breaks all Fathers' Records.
Berlin, Germany, March 28.—Fer
dinand Eglinski, aged 53, a tailor of
Ahibeck, is Gemany’s champion
father. The Tageblatt, which pub
lishes his story, says that his suc
cessive marriages with two sisters,
25 children were born, 29 of whom
are living —19 boys and seven girls.
The tailor married at the age of
20. His first wife, who died in 1907,
bore him 24 children. In 1908, he
married his deceased wife’s sister,
who has borne him 11 childrenin the
last six years. Triplets came on one
occasion and twins were born twice.
When his sixth son entered the
army in 1913, Eglinski received a
private audience with the kaiser,
who ordered him entertained in Ber
lin at his majesty’s expense for a
week.
Eglinski has become a celebrity,
and adds to his income as a tailor by
selling picture post cards of him
self.
EASTER
Is the festival of our Lord’s resur
rection. It corresponds with the
Passover, Pascha, Christ’s crucifix
ion. Later it meant both the cruci
fixion and resurrection, but after the
fourth century, following the Coun
cil of Nicaea, it has referred only to
the resurrection of our Savior from
the dead.
Easter always falls on Sunday after
the full moon,J next after March 21.
It is Christianity’s Cornerstone,
the testimony of forgiveness of sin,
the redemdtion of man and restitu
tion of the universe.
“Like Easter Lillies, pure and white,
Make ThouJ our hearts, O, Lord of
Light!
Like EasterjLillies, let them be.
Sweet chalicesfof loveJtojThee.”
HALL COUNTY’S ROADS
ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.
Every Road in the County will Get a Share of
r ( the Year’s Bridge and
■'.Keifhts Ferry Get NexMogk In. iif
Regardless 'of the many obstacles
shat“ County
meet in providing Hall county with
good roads, the work is going on
just the same, and Hall county is
getting to the point that she is
leading in good roads building of
the State.
Steel bridges are taking the place
of the former old rickety bridges,
two of these steel bridges being
erected recently over Little River,
one at Pass’s Mill, and the other
near Turner Quillian’s.
When the Clarke’s Bridge road is
completed, the convicts who are
now camped at Dewberry No. 2 will
be transferred next to Brown's
Bridge and Keith’s Ferry roads,
both roads, it is said, being badly in
the need of attention.
The Commissioners are hoping
that they will not meet with the ob
stacles along these roads that they
have met with along the roads
formerly worked, since the convict
lease system went into effect it
being a difficult matter in matter in
many places to secure rights of
way and dirt with which to top-soil
the road being worked.
Top-soiling, it has been proven, is
the most beneficial way of working
the roads. When a road has been
top-soiled properly it is an impossi
bility for the road to wash into
gullies and holes. After it has been
top-soiled and packed thoroughly it
becomes hard, very much in the
nature of asphalt, producing the
best and most lasting road that can
be built. The National Highway is
top-soiled.
The commissioners are to be com
mended upon the expedition in
which they are bringing Hall
county roads to the front.
It will be only a question of time
now until every road that is of any
importance will be worked through
out the county.
Brown’s Bridge and Keith’s
Ferry roads are two of the most im
portant roads of the county, much
produce being brought into the city
over them, and it is to be hoped that
the Commissioners will meet with
no obstacles in securing rights of
way over these roads when the work
shall begin upon them.
To the Public:
I just want to, in as few words as
possible, express my sincere thanks
and deep appreciation to my friends
and the voters of Hall county for
their support in the recent election.
My success, of course, is due to
the favor of my friends, and I am
going to use my best endeavors to
measure up to their fullest expecta
tions in the administration of the
duties of the office.
Respectfully yours,
REED A. LATHEM.
Expensive Weddings Cause Poverty
Chicago, March 28. —Expensive
weddings in families that can af
ford only a few of the necessities of
life cause much of the poverty in
the stockyards district of Chicago,
according to a report issued today
by investigators for the University
of Chicago settlement. The inves
tigators kept account of the earn
ings and expenditure of 184 families
for one year. Although their aver
age yearly income was only $854.13,
several of the poorer families cele
brated elaborate weddings, costing
more than S2OO.
Os the 184 families observed 180
used alcoholic liquors. The aver
age expenditure of the family for
this item was $36.42 or 4.42 per cent
of the total.
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 Curei

A FAIR WARNING
One That Should Be Heeded by
Gainesville Residents.
Frequently the first sign of kidney
trouble is a slight ache or pain in
the loins. Neglect of this warning
makes the way easy for more se
rious troubles—dropsy, gravel,
Bright’s disease. ’Tis well to pay
attention to the first sign. Weak
kidneys generally grow weaker
and delay is often dangerous. Resi
dents of this locality place- reliance
in Dodson’s Kidney Pills. This
tested remedy has been used in
kidney trouble over 50 years—is
recommended all over the civilized
world. Read the following:
Mrs. A. J. Martin, 32 Finley St.,
Gainesville, Ga., says: “One of my
family was obliged to do much
stooping and lifting and this brought
on a bad case of kidney trouble.
The first symptom was pain in the
back and later on the kidney secre
tions became irregular in passage
and highly colored. There was a
tired, feeling present and other
symptoms of kidney complaint.
Doan’s Kidney Pills were finally
used, being procured at George's
Drug Store, and two boxes brought
relief. I still endorse Doan’s Kid
ney Pills when I have the opportu
nity and I give you permission for
the continued use of my statement.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that
Mrs. Martin recommends. Foster-

I hereby announce my candidacy

The proper fulfilling the duties of

Inasmuch as a good portion of my

Have You Electricity
in Your Home? i
You know, of course, that Electricity
in this day and time signifies everything
that is refined and up-to-date in connection
with the home. Where Electricity is ap- ,
predated to its fullest value, ILLU MINA
TION is actually one of the least impor
tant of its uses —although people nowa
days expect Electricity to illuminate every
nook and cranny of the household.
Electricity as a means for cooking,
for washing, for ironing, for cleaning
everything in the home, is more important
to the housekeeper than it is for mere
lighting purposes.
