OAKWOOD ON THE MAP.
Oakwood is on the map now, by a
large majority.
Heretofore it had been the custom
to poke fun at Oakwood.
Whenever a one-horse vaudeville
show would give a performance
here and needed a town to put a
joke upon, it would be Oakwood
•every time.
When Jack Williams, the heroic
Chief of Police of that burg, would
visit Gainesville with his big silver
badge, the boys would not treat this
insignia of authority with the re
spect due it.
They didn’t know Oakwood.
But now they know—and they
know that Oakwood is on the map
for sure.
rorlast Saturday the Hon. Tom
Hardwick, the greatest stump
speaker in the State, the incom
parable tighter, who bearded Tom
Watson in his lair, and also his liar,
and knocked the stuffing out of
him—yes, Tom Hardwick made a
speech there. He has just opened
his campaign for Senator, and this
is his second speech since an
nouncing his candidacy.
’Twas only a literary address ’tis
true—at the commencement of the
High School—but so much the better
for the Hon. Tom. When a candi
date makes a political speech he
catches only a part of the crowd,
but when he makes a literary ad
dress, especially such an one as the
Hou. Tom can make, he catches
them all.
So Oakwood is on the map, and
there to stay —and there will be no
more jokes or jibes cast her way.
And our friend Jack Williams is
being catalogued with Chief Beavers
and other great criminal catchers.

W. H. Carlisle, on Chestnut street.

Mr. Conner's Proposal.
Editor Craig:
You said that Dr. Newton and I
would make a good legislative team.
I thank you very much for saying
that I would make one of a good
team from this county to represent
the people. I do not know what
Dr. Newtcwfi do or say about
that pi.ece you J’tWnfc W
arp of a good age to represent the
people and give them good service.
I do not know what Dr. Newton
will say about this business. He
can answer for himself and I will do
the same.
Mr. Editor, you said women don’t
seem to be included in our scheme
of political or household economy.
I do not know whether it is in Dr.
Newton’s idea or not. I will answer
for myself, if the people of Hall
county will elect me one of their
representatives I will marry and
go down to look after legislative
business.
Yours truly,
WILLIAM F. CONNER.
End of a Useful Life.
Mrs. Sophronia Lathem, the be
loved wife of Mr. J. H. Lathem,
died on the 17th at her home at
Price, after a week’s illness from
pneumonia, at the age of 68. She
was buried the following day at
Cool Spring, the funeral services
being conducted by Rev. Barnett,
the circuit rider.
She had been a member of the
Methodist church for 40 years and
walked in the footsteps of the Re
deemer all that time. She was a
ministering angel for the communi
ty in which she lived, for no one
was ever sick that Mrs. Lathem did
not go to the bedside and become a
Constant attendant.
And so when she herself was taken
sick, the bread she had cast upon
the waters, in kind deeds, returned
to her, and people of all classes
came to see her and united in their
prayers for her recovery.
Her life having been like a bene
diction, her death was a triumph of
faith in Christ.
Carried to Eye Specialist.
Mr. E. E. Mincey carried his
little daughter, Myrtle, to Atlanta
this week to an eye specialist for an
examination. The little girl has
been having considerable trouble
with her eyes for some time, and
owing to her extreme youthfulness
the situation is more deplorable.

old, died in Hall county jail last
Friday. He had been sent from
Lumpkin county to a local sanita
rium, but while there developed a

He was buried at Alta Vista at

lIURE
'aint.
When a wise man goes to buy Paint, he always gets the#
PUREST article to be found.
For he knows it lasts longer and looks better all the time than
an inferior grade.
And he also knows by experience that it costs very little
more money than cheap grades. t
We buy Paint by the car load and have an abundant supply
on hand all the time. And it is all of the best, for we
have no cheap goods.
Call and see me and get prices.
