Will Boss The’Boss.
(By The Office Boys)
An announcement appeared in the
Atlanta Constitution Tuesday morn
ing that relieved much anxiety on
the part of the office force and a good
many of the brethren in Gainesville
at large, who, like the Eagle force,
had smelled a mouse when “the
Boss”—that what we call him in the
office —began to make so many pro
miscuous trips down to the Gate City.
So last week, he began to put extra
efforts forth to get off to Atlanta a
little sooner than he had been accus
tomed to going, saying to the writer
that in all probability he would not
return until Monday afternoon.
Right then we began to smell the
mouse.
Monday afternoon, sure enough,
here he came bouncing in. Well, of
course, we have as much curiosity
as a woman, but we were scared to
ask any fool questions, and Boss
didn’t say anything and we didn't
say anything, so nothing was said,
but much thinking was happening in
and around the Eagle office.
The printers and the devil could
be seen congregating in different
cornersexpressing their opinion, and
getting the opinion of the other
fellow.
But the Constitution —thanks to
this breezy newspaper—(wonder if it
knows how much curiosity it relieves
sometimes) —came to the rescue.
We would like to say a whole lot
good things about Mr. Craig, as we
do other people who get married,
but he wouldn’t let it pass, he would
blue pencil it, that means he would
not let us print it.
The writer has been in the employ
of the Eagle for about eight years
now’, and Mr. Craig has been our
employer practically all of that time,
and we know 7 him mighty well, and
it would be superfluous to make any
comment on his popularity as an
editor and as a business man, of
which the city and county are justly
proud.
Mrs. Craig comes to Gainesville
with best wishes from a legion of
friends in Atlanta, and hearty con
gratulations are extended her and
her husband by not only the Eagle
force, but by hosts of friends in
Gainesville.
The entire Eagle establishment ex
press their gratification that the boss
is to have a boss himself.
Green B. Adair Dies of Paralytic
Stroke.
From Atlanta Constitution:
Green B. Adiar, prominent pioneer
citizen of Atlanta, died suddenly
from a stroke of paralysis Monday
afternoon at 1 o’clock at his resi
dence, 10(X) Highland avenue. Mr.
Adair was recuperating from the
only spell of serious illness he had
ever had in his life, and which,
after a month’s duration, was
seemingly at an end.
Mr. Adair was born in Talladega
county, Alabama, seventy-seven
years ago on the plantation of his
father. At the age of 21 he enlisted
in the Tenth Alabama regiment,
Army of Virginia, and fought under
General Robert E. Lee in most of
the famous battles of the civil war.
When the war closed he came to
Atlanta with his brother, A. D.
Adair, and established one of the
first wholesale commission houses
in the south under the name of
Adair and Bro.
Surviving him are his widow 7 ,
formerly Miss Addie Marsh; three
sons, G. B. Adair, Jr., Marsh Adair
and Spencer Adair; one brother, A.
D. Adair; two sisters, Mrs. Amanda
Moore and Mrs. Warren Campbell,
and three grand-children.
Don't Like to Blow
Our own horn, but we feel much in
debted to the Alamo Theater for a
36-piece dinner set received Monday
night from the Manager, Mr. A. R.
Nininger.
This being the first time we ever
heard of a printer getting anything
free, we thought it might make a
news item.
Thanks. Mr. Nininger.

HERE JAD THERE '
--AAD THEA SOME
(By Stickem)
Don’t ever think you are the whole
cheese in politics because your
stuff smells rancid.
There are some little factional
papers that w 7 ould print anything
against Georgia’s Senior Senator —
excepting the truth, of course!
The Hoboes’ Convention met in
Chicago. With the present crop of
aspirants to the gubernatorial, the
Leg-Pullers might have a conven
tion in Georgia.
Asew 7 of Little Joe’s apostles are
trying to pull him out agin Hoke,
but, as they claim, he is a brainy
little fellow —conceding this, it is a
safe bet that he won’t bust up against
Hoke for the Senate. Not yet, any
way.
The city of Gainesville has as much
protection from fire as Flowery
Branch should have. There is just
enough ladder to ascend a chicken
house. Scarcely any chemicals and
very little hose —and not even a hook
and ladder truck. The present equip
ment would have been adequate
for our needs thirty years ago, but
we have grown some lately.
How 7 about abolishing the Treas
urer’s office in Hall county and sav
ing about $2,000 with which to pay
school teachers, who are seldom
paid until their salaries are a year
past due? The banks, we are told,
keep the books of the Treasurer. If
that be the case, let the bank make
bond and receive the money direct
from the tax collector. There is
not a banker in town who would not
be glad of the job. Hall county’s
money means something to the bank
that handles it. Our Good Roads
and School funds would be enlarged
nicely with $2,000 additional each
year.
Brought Here for Interment.
The remains of Mr. Jones Gaines
of Hartwell, father of Mr. Leon
Gaines of this city, were brought
here for interment Tuesday, and
laid to rest in Alta Vista.
The funeral occurred from the
First Methodist church Wednesday
morning, Revs. Benson and Hamp
ton having charge of the funeral
services, the Masons performing the
burial rites.
Mr. Gaines death was caused
from a stroke of apoplexy.
He was one of the old citizens of
Gainesville, moving from here some
17 years ago.
It was almost forty-five years ago
that Mr. Gaines came to Gainesville
with his family and during his resi
dence here w 7 as one of our best and
most highly respected citizens—
quiet and courteous in demeanor
and of most exalted integrity. For
several years he ran the old “Gaines
ville Hotel,” a two-story wooden
building that stood where the
Princeton is now located.
He was porn in Elbert county
June 6, 1835; joined the Baptist
church when a young man and lived
faithfully by its precepts. He
served in the armies of the Confed
eracy and left an honorable record
as a soldier.
The remains were brought here
by an escort of Masons from Hart
well lodge, and he was buried at
Alta Vista yesterday by Gainesville
lodge with the honors of Masonry.
Mr. Gaines was the father of
eleven children, six boys and five
girls. Six children are now living:
Mr. Anna Dunagan, High Springs,
Fla.; Mrs. India Bryson, Ringgold;
J. E. Gaines, Westminister, S. C.;
H. J. Gaines, Jacksonville, ria.; H.
L. Gaines, Gainesville; D. J. Gaines,
Pendergrass.
At St. Paul.
Prof. Mershon very ably filled the
pulpit at St. Paul Sunday morning
at the 11 o'clock hour in the absence
of Rev. W. W. Benson, who is con
ducting a series of meetings at
Flowery Branch this week.
The 8 o’clock hour Sunday night
was taken up with singing, prayer,
and music.
those who attended this service
are indebted to Mr. Roy Newman
and Miss Nellie Newman for a duet.
It was enjoyed and thoroughly ap
preciated by those present.
Also a couple of quartets by Rich
ardson brothers Mincey and Smith
were good. Those boys know how
to sing.
And two quartets by Merck,
Richards. Mincey, and Thomas were
features of the service.
Owing to the inclement weather
the attendance was not as large as
was expected, but the hour was
replete with good singing.
A QUESTION OF GASTE i
V V
•J
$ R
$ By BELLE MANIATES. $
There was no reason, apparently,
why these two people, Carter Johns
and Cleo Rivers, should not have pur
sued their friendship openly and free
ly, but they had met in a most uncon
ventional way, and there seemed to be
a tacit, though unspoken, agreement
between them that their meetings
should be clandestine.
Cleo was naturally interested and
excited when she found the house
next to theirs, which had been vacant
for so long, had been sold and was
to be occupied.
Her first surreptitious inspection of
one member of the new family was
from a window overlooking their back
yard.
Johns, tall and straight, was critic
ally examining and testing a stupen
dous touring car.
Cleo’s heart beat pleasurably. She
was a born coquette, and presently,
attired in the most delectable of
white-embroidered linen gowns, white
shoes and chiffon hat, she sauntered
into the back garden and began pick
ing some flowers. Eventually she
gave a sidelong glance. Cleo was not
conventional.
“Won’t you have a rose?” she asked.
With eager haste and thanks he
crossed the boundary line to the two
gardens.
“I think we should be neighborly,”
she said, with a little laugh.
“I quite agree with you,” he replied,
decorously, “and since there is no one
present to introduce me, I will do my
self the honor of presenting myself.
Carter Johns.”
“My name is Cleo Rivers,” she said,
with naivete. “Did you just move in
last night? We heard the place had
been sold.”
“We are only partly moved,” he
said, smiling. “I was anxious to see
if my new car came through safely.
I think it is in good shape. Do you
like to ride?”
“Indeed I do!” she cried, enthusias
tically.
He couldn’t tell afterwards how It
really happened, or which one of them
first made the suggestion, but, any
way, he had an engagement to take
her out in the automobile that night
He was afraid she would think him
presumptuous, but she had seemed
pleased, and blushed as she told him
she would have to meet him at the
stable —that “they” would never con
sent
She looked very elegant in her dark
attire, as she met him that night back
of the stable.
They quickly sped away from the
crowded streets, and when they came
to a road that was free, Carter “let
her out” in away that was intoxicat
ing to Cleo.
“He is simply grand!” she thought
with a little thrill of recollection
when she was safely back in her own
room.
The next afternoon as she was walk
ing through the park, he passed her in
his bluish-white car. She bowed, and
he lifted his hat courteously and
passed on. Before he had gone very
far his car stopped, and he got out to
investigate the cause. She came on
and up to him.
“Something wrongT’ she asked,
shyly.
“Not much out of gear. I win ad
just It in a moment May I take you
home?”
“Certainly,” she replied, joyously.
“Can’t we ride out into the coun
try?” he asked, entreatlngly.
She assented and they,rode on out
into the open country, where speed
limit laws were not enforced. They
came home more slowly and senti
mentally.
And Cleo in her little white bed that
night lay awake to live over and over
again the joys of this beautiful and
•ecreted time.
They met chanendtracted tn many
places, and the evening flights in the
big car were uninterrupted until ffcte
In the shape of a settled rain preclud

“There is a little summer house in
our garden,” be said, wistfully, as she
came to the rear of the stable that
night to tell him how disappointed she
was. “Can’t we have a little visit

In the cozy little arborad house,
listening to the soft music of the sum

climax. -
“pleoj” he murmured, "I love you!”
But she had slipped from him and

She spent the pight crying over the
inditing of a letter which she handed
to him over the hedge the next morn

first time I met you I guessed what

family. I let you think so. lam maid

“CLEO."
Presently a district messenger
brought a note to Miss Cleo Rivers.
“Dearest Cleo: lam the chauffeur!

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)

YOUR MONEY BACK
IF YOU WANT IT
Leading Druggists Will Refund Pur-
chase Price of Dodson’s Liver
Tone if "¥ ou’re Dissatisfied.
Dr. J. B. George may not be
willing to guarantiee the safety and
reliability of calomel for constipa
tion and sluggish liver, but this
store will and does stand back of
Dodson’s Liyer Tone with an un
conditional guarantee to refund
the full purchase price (50c.) in
stantly without question if you are
not satisfied in every way with
Liver Tone and its results.
If you take calomel, perhaps you
will seem to get temporary relief,
but it often happens that the after
effects are at least unpleasant and
sometimes dangerous. Calomel in
large doses is a poison and actually
deadly to some —perhaps to you—
and hence its use means taking
chances.
With Dodson’s Liver Tone you are
always safe. Its reliability is so cer
tain that it can be sold with the
money-back guarantee. It is a
vegetable liquid, pleasant to take,
and it cannot harm. It clears up
the dulled and aching head and
cleans out the clogged system in
what many have found to be a
wonderful way. Dodson’s Liver
Tone will do for you what it has
done for thousands—and you run no
risk trying it. Ask Dr. J. B. George
about Dodson’s and the guarantee.
