They will leave Saturday for Columbus, where Rev. Bridgers will conduct a revival for two weeks. • « I -.»■ Miss Mincey Improving. It is gratifying to the friends of Miss Emily Mincey to know that she is on the high road to recovery after an operation for appendicitis, at a private sanitarium in Atlanta. She will in all probability be able to return to the city in about two weeks. ' - , fc Singing at New Salem. Prof. J. D., B. T., and O. L. Turk;,will conduct a singing at New Salem, near Flowery Branch, the first Sunday afternoon in May. These men are noted for good sing ing and without any doubt the crowd that will attend this singing will more than fill the house. Elected County Treasurer. Mr.(John W. Scoggins of this city was over in Banks county last week, rusticating around with his brother among the voters of that county in the interest of the latter’s candidacy for treasurer of that county. His brother, Mr. M. O. Scoggins, was formerly a Hall county boy, which might be the reason that he won the office over 10 other candi dates by a good plurality. When you hear of a boy leaving Hall county, you may figure that you will hear from him again in the future. Hall’s boys have the grit in their gizzards, and they use it. Improvements on G. & N. W. The G. & N. W. will begin at once to fill around all stations of the road with crushed rock and cover the rock with white sand. At all non agency stations they will grade out a space and put in sills and fill it out with crushed rock, covering the rock with black sand. This is not all the improvements that the road is making as they are even noxv at work overhauling the big car of the road and another is in the hands of the builders, making a large im provement in the car service of the road. When this is done there will be another car added to the trains. The old car will be repainted to match the new one and the road monogram will be painted on the sides of the cars, adding to their beauty.—Helen Herald. Coburn Players Revive an Ancient Ceremony. An interesting feature of the ap pearance of the noted Coburn Play ers at Brenau College will be a re constitution of the ancient ceremony of "crying the banns.” In Shakespeare’s time strolling actors were legally rogues and vaga bonds. As such they were liable to be whipped out of town unless under the patronage of some powerful noble whose badge they display promi nently on their cloaks. “Crying the banns” was, therefore, a precau tionary proclamation formally to notify the authorities of a town or a village that the players claimed im munity from punishment and also the right to perform under the aegis of their powerful patron. Incidently it served the purpose of advertisment by drawing a croxvd, to whom the crier announced the inten tion to produce a play, the name of the play and its character, the time and place of performance, and the fame of the players who were to take part. The crier xvas accompained by minstrels and dancers, oftentimes by two banner-bearers. These banner-bearers in alternate stanzas recited the story of the play briefly; the minstrels sang Folk Songs and the dancers preformed Folk Dances, notably the famed Morris Dance, and doubtless to the great delectation of that portion of the populace intent on witnessing a free show. This ancient ceremony was. in fact, the genesis of the modern circus parade. No pains will be spared to recon stitute this quaint parade with scru pulous exactitude. To complete the essentials of an interesting and in formative picture, a troupe of Morris Dancers has been added to the Coburn forces. In all externalities tradition will be followed faithfully, almost tenaciously, and if the spec tators on the Brenau Compus at rive o'clock on Thursday, April 30th do not fancy themselves back in the picturesque Elizabethan period it will be due rather to their provide a stimulative atmosphere. Established io iB6O. CANTRELL GETS FOURTH LEASE ON LIFE FROM THE GOVERNOR. Convicted Accessory May Be Executed with His Brother, Bartow, who will Soon be Re-sentenced by Judge Jones. Governor Slaton last Thursday afternoon late issued Jim Cantrell a fourth reprieve, that he might be hung with his brother, young Bar tow, principal in the Hawkins mur der case. Bartow’s case has been decided upon by the Court of Appeals, that court sustaining the Hall county court in refusing the boy another trial for his life. It now remains forjudge Jones to resentence Bar tow, which of course will be done expeditiously, and the condemned boys will hang together. It is desired by all interested in this case that if the boys must hang, the executions be made at one time. Jim has been suffering severely from a case of pneumonia, and later a case of measles developing, has caused him more truble. Dr. John Whelchel, Jim’s physician, called to see him Thursday, before his ex ecution was to have taken place on Friday, and Jim, it is said, was playing a game of checkers. “Jim,” said Dr. Whelchel, “the measles have settled in your eyes, and you haven’t been doing what I told you about washing them.” “No,” replied Jim,, “you see, if they hang me tomorrow, Doc, I won’t need’em any longer.” With this statement he busied himself at his game again. The stoical indifference that the boys have shown since their incar ceration last April remains with them. Just what the termination of the case will be, is the subject of much comment just now. A strenuous fight for a commutation to life im prisonment for the boys will be made by friends. A petition will be carried before Judge Jones and Solicitor McMillan, asking them to intercede for the boys to Governor Slaton, asking a life sentence. The principal argument in the case is that one should not pay a greater penalty than another, Jim and Mrs. Hawkins being equally implicated, and Bartow principal. Commissioners' New Room. The Board of County Commision ers have moved into the room in rear of the Ordinary’s office which is also occupied by the County Treasurer. This room is neat and well ventil ated and will be a comfortable place for the Commissioners. Good Home for Cantrell Children. Rev. R. D. Hawkins of the Deca tur Orphanage preached aforeceable sermon at St. Paul Sunday night, and enumerating the many children taken care of at this institution, Mr. Hawkins took occasion to say that the little Cantrell girls, daughters of Jim Cantrell, had been adopted into two good homes in Atlanta, and were getting along nicely. It is gratifying indeed to those of Hall county who help support this institution, to know that Hall’s sons and daughters reap much benefit from this Orphanage. Subscriptions were taktn at the conclusion of the service and a goodly amount was raised for help in maintaining this institution for the helpless. There is nothing that should re ceive more attention in the religious movements than the Orphans’ Home and Salvation Army. A TEXAS WONDER.

A PLEA IN THE NAME OF HU- MANITY FOR THE CANTRELLS. Will Not the People be Avenged with a Life Sentence for these Boys who Erred in Bases Passion and Ignorance? (by stickem.) “Cast thy bread upon the waters, to be gathered many days hence.” In remembering the above pas sage, we wonder if the citizens of Hall county would be casting much bread upon the waters, to intercede for the Cantrell boys, who without an intercession before the Governor will hang on May 29th. The boys, along with Mrs. Haw kins, it is true, are guilty of a most heinous crime, growing from ignor ance not only of the law, but of everything that pertains to a higher life. The families.of these boys are in the most pitiable condition since their incarceration in Hall county jail. The mother of the boys and two sisters are taking in washing and doing other work that they can pick up to eke out a meagre exis tence, while the father of the boys is a victim of the white plegue, and will never be able to do very much again. He spends the bigger portion of his time in jail with his convicted sons. The two children of Jim Cantrell have been adopted by Atlanta fami lies and have good homes. Bartow Cantrell's wife is with Bartow’s parents, and has become a mother since Bartow was convicted. Would we not be doing a bigger thing for humanity, to get a com mutation for these boys, and put ting them upon the public roads where they will be of benefit to the county, and should a bill that will be introduced at the next session of the legislature pass, be of benefit to the parents of the boys and to the young wife of Bartow Cantrell? The bill under question will pro vide that every convict will be allowed a certain wage, and all over the expense incurred in maintain ing him in camp will go to the sup port of bis family, or some relative who xvas dependent upon him for support prior to his incarceration. Should this bill pass, and it will pass, if not at this session, it will later, for be it known, the world is getting better in spite of the pessi mists. Would Hall county not be doing more for the uplift of human ity by getting a commutation for these boys, than she would by sitting quietly by and letting them meet their horrible fate and the end of six feet of hemp? They are not our boys, it is true, but every boy has a mother, and every mother loves her boy. If it were your boy, how would you feel in the matter? Only think of them as your own boys for a second. There is only one mortal hope for the boys now. Will you ask for a commutation? If so, you may sign a petition, by applying to the writer at this office. Gainesville Boys in Mexico. Gainesville is along with Atlanta and other cities who are boasting that they have boys in Mexico. She has Mr. G. S. Harbin, formerly of this city, on the United States battleship Vermont, while Mr. J. C. Cooper, also a Gainesville boy, is on the Battleship Virginia. The battle ship Virginia was one of the first United States vessels to rusticate around the Mexico ports. Billy Sloan Captures Honors. Our own Billy Sloan addressed the Odd-Fellows of Savannah on Mon day and got a whole column of com ment in the city papers, besides his picture adorning the top of the page. From a literary standpoint, as well as from a standpoint of Odd-Fellow ship. it is really splendid production. We have room only for a small extract: As the guest of honor Deputy Grand Master Sloan was called upon for the main speech. He took as his subject, “Odd Fellowship” and his entire address was centered about the sentiment of the order and what this sentiment has accomplished in the ninety-five years that the order has been in existence. “Sentiment,” said Mr. Sloan,' "is the great rock upon which Odd Fel lowship is founded and what makes it one of the greatest orders ever cfeated for the uplift of the world. “Sentiment is probably one of the greatest gifts that God has instilled into man. It is sentiment thatmakes men love their country, their wives and children, and it is this same sentiment that makes Odd Fellows love their fellowmen and strive to aid them in time of trouble and to help them in their efforts to uplift their minds and their souls.” SI.OO a Year in Advance NUMBER 18 DON'T FORGET THE BIRD MAN IS COMING THURSDA Y.

Ferrell has been car ried to Atlanta, where an operation was performed for appendicitis. News from her bedside reports that she is doing as well as could be ex pected. This is gratifying to her friends here. At St. Paul Sunday. There will be two services at St. Paul Sunday by the pastor, Rev. W. W. Benson. It is urged that every member be present Sunday, as it is desired that the date for the revival, which will be conducted there next month be set. United States Court. Jurors having been summoned for last Monday morning, U. S. Mar shal Howard Thompson formally called court to order, but immedi ately adjourned it over until May Hlh- Ihe jurors had been previously notified of the postponment. Chief Richardson Improving. It is gratifying to the hosts of friends of Chief of Police H. L. Richardson to know that he is rapidly recovering from his recent severe illness. It is hoped that his genial countenance may be seen again on the streets within a few days. Blaze at Harness Co's. A small fire originated in the upper story of the bui'ding occupied by the Gainesville Harness Co., last Friday. The fire company re sponded promptly, but employees of the establishment had the blaze under control before the fire boys arrived. Queen —Philmon. Last Sunday evening, just as the twilight shadows were creeping on at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Philmon, Dr. Hampton united in marriage their daughter, Kate, and Mr. Belk Queen. Only a few rela tives were present. After a short stay with the “old folks at home,” the wedded couple repaired to the awaiting new bunga low. out at the park, where their friends will find them after this. Mr. Harrison Better. Mr. W. T. Harrison, the Eagle is glad to report, is recovering from his recent illness of several days. Mr. Harrison we are told, will be able .within a lew days to again take up his abode at the Eagle office. Bro. Harrison is a lively soul, and w’e just can t hardly get along with out him at the office. It is quite like a funeral, when the office boys are not having a Mexican uprising at this office, if Brother Harrison is out of pocket. Mrs. W. A.
