BETTER CITIZENSHIP.
We know that every loyal citizen
Gainesville desires to become
lore efficient. To' become more
efficient depends largely upon be
coming more heathful. To become
more healthful depends first upon
pure, wholesome food, correctly pre
pared, plenty of pure water, and an
abundance of fresh air.
Concerning the latter: We are not
living in a large, crowded city where
pure air is vitiated by smoke and
impurities, but we have free access
to the fresh ozone of the Blue Ridge
mountians.
Now, as to water: Until recently I
Gainesville has had good water, i
Could any one call it pure and good I
now, if they only use their God-given
senses of smell and taste? Impure
water is a powerful foe to good
health, and a breeder of many dis
eases, such as typhoid fever. We
hope that Gainesville will soon
HAVE and KEEP pure water.
Now, as to food: It depends al
most entirely upon the women in the
homes as to the kind of foods that
the individual consumes.
Women of Gainesville, let us be
determined to study the needs of
the body, and serve on our tables
properly prepared, nourishing foods
and NO malnutritions ones. Also let
us demand from dur market men
fresh and sanitary fish and meats;
from our grocers, fruit and vegetable
dealers only the fresh and sanitary
foods, and from our daiaries only
fresh and pure milk, kept in sanitary
bottles and vessels. If we demand
these kind we will get them, and it
stands as a matter of course we will
get them if laws are enforced regard
ing such foods.
Now last, but not least, we must
have proper surroundings to build
and sustain efficient citizens.
Gainesville cannot be called beauti
ful until all alleys and individual
premises are kept clean and free
from dilapidated buildings aud
fences, and when Gainesville is free
from flies. There are a few vacant
lots in town that need immediate
attention, and one or two not far
from the Square.
If livery stables and all places
where stock is confined be kept clean
and as sanitary as possible, we would
soon see very few flies. Manure
should be kept boxed and screened,
so that it would be an impossible
fiy breeder.
The writer knows of other places
where laws demand the use of such
boxes. Let us hope that Gainesville
laws will become more stringent
where one’s health is involved.

Saintly Woman Passes Away.
Mrs. Elizabeth Terrell passed
away last Saturday evening at
6 o’clock at the residence of her son,
Mr. H. A. Terrell, on West Broad
street, with whom she had resided
for a number of years, after an ex
tended illness from a complication
of trouble. She had been an in
valid for about ten years.
Mrs. Terrell was a member of the
First Baptist church of this city and
had lived a consecrated Christian
life. The manner in which she bore
her suffering was evidence that she
was indeed a follower of her Savior.
She never complained of the suffer
ing undergone during the many
years that she was unable to help
herself.
The funeral occurred from the
residence Sunday afternoon at 2.30
o’clock and the remains were ten
derly laid to rest in Alta Vista
cemetery, the Rev. .1. E. Hampton
performing the obsequies.
Mrs. Terrell was the mother of
nine children, five of whom survive
her: Messrs. H. A. Terrell of this
city. J. T. Terrell of Adairsville,
and W. F. Terrell of Greenville. S.
C. • Mrs. S. E. Lovingood of At
lanta, and Mrs. W. B. Miller of
Atlanta.
The many floral designs presented
over the bier, ami the long concourse
of friends that assembled to pay a
last tribute of love to the deceased,
were testimony of the esteem in
which she was held by those who
knew her best.
Card of Thanks.
Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Terrell and
family desire to express their deep
appreciation to their friends who
were so kind to them during the
illness and death of their mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Terrell. The many
kindnesses and expressions of sym
pathy will ever be remembered.

Sweeping Victory by Anti-Blease
Men.

tor E. D. Smith, candidate for the
United States senate at the forth

It was Some Lemon.
Our own Hulettt S. Davenport is
the proud possessor of a mammoth
lemon which grew in his front yard.
He was exhibiting it around town
Tuesday morning, and we decided
to measure it. The circumference
lengthwise measured 15 inches,
while it pulled the tape at 14 inches
around the side.
He says that th®- tree on which ,
the lemon grew had five of the sour
meats on it this- year, and, further, i
that the tree is only about two years
old.
Mr. Harrises Out Again.
We are glad to say that Brother
Tom Harrison is again able to re

Making Booze Pay.
One of the readers of the Edsitis
Lake Region writes the editor of
that paper as follows:
To the married man who cannot
get along without his drinks we sug
gest the following as a solution to
the bondage of his habit:
‘"Start a saloon in your own house.
Be the only customer. You will
have no license to pay. Go to your
wife and give her $2 to buy a gallon
of whiskey, and remember, there’s
69 drinks in one gallon.
‘•Buy your drinks from no one but
your wife, and by the time the first
gallon is gone, she will have $8 to
put in the bank and $2 to start busi
ness again.
• "Should you live ten years and
, continue to buy booze from her, and
then die with snakes in your hoots,
she will have enough money to bury
you decently, educate your children,
I buy a house and lot, marry a decent
I man, and quit thinking about you.”

to be incurable. For a great many years
doctors, pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies- and by con

pronounced It incurable. Science has
proven Catarrh to he a constitutional dis
ease, aaid therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manu

To the Ice Consumers.
It reported by unreffiable parties
that we are mimufai-tUTiug ice out
of la’aneh waters Inasmuch as the !
city of Gainesville is furnishing us
water from Pecifer Branch and Cry
Creek, from the City’s Water Sta
tion, this is true —the same branch
waiter that everybody in Gainesville
is using that secures water from the
city. However, as to our manufac
turing ice ou t of dirty branch water,
there is not a reliable man or woman
in Gainesville who will make an af
fidavit to that effect, because it is
i not true. If there is, we will give
I the people the benefit of such ai!®da
! vit. Our friends are not putting out
such a report.
We suppose the public is well in
formed as to what kind of water the
ice heretofore shipped into Gaines
ville was made of.
As to charging too much for ice,
the people of Covington, as well as
those living in several other small
towns, were told the same thing re
cently by a set of dummy ice ped
dlers (backed by the Atlantic Ice
Trust). Now Covington has no ice
factory, prices there are at top
notch, and service and quality are
considerably lowered.
We hope the people of Gainesville
will take warning from the misfor
tunes of other small towns, and
make it unanimous in Gainesville to
support the home ice factory, as it
has done the past few years.
We desire al this time to thank
the public for the support given us,
and will assure you of the best prices
to be had, the best ice made, and the
service admittedly the best Gaines
ville ever enjoyed.
Respectfully.

Why Risk Being “All Knocked Out”
by Calomel? Dodsons Liver
Tone Takes its Place and

often very dangerous to many
people.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is guaran
teed to take the place of calomel, to
boa pleasant-tasting, easy-acting
vegetable liquid, with no bad effects
and causing no pain nor gripe nor in
terference with your regular duties,
habits or diet. If you are not en
tirely satisfied with Dodson’s Liver
Tone, go back to the store where
you bought it and get your money
back. It belongs to you and Dod
son wants you to have it.
Dr. J. B. George sells and recom
mends Dodson’s Liver Tone and he
will cheerfully refund purchase
price (60c.) instantly without ques
tion if the remedy fails to please

LIFE OUT OF DEATH.
Were there no night we could not read the stars; <
The heavens would turn into a blinding glare;
Freedom is best seen through the prison bars.
And rough seas make the haven passing fair.
We cannot measure joys but by their loss;
When blessings fade away we see them then;
Our richest clusters grow around the cross,
And in the night time angels sing to men.
The seed must first be buried deep in earth
Before the lily opens to the sky;
So “light is sown’’ and gladness has its birth
In the dark deeps where we can only cry.
“Life out of death’’ is heaven’s unwritten law;
No, it is written in a myriad forms;
The victor's palm grows on the fields of war. *
And strength and beauty are the fruit of storms.
Come, then, my soul, be brave to do and bear:
Thy life is bruised that it may be more sweet;
The cross will soon be left, the crown we'll wear;
No, we will cast it at our Saviour’s feet.
And be among the glories never told.
Sweeter than the music of the marriage bell.
Our hands will strike the vibrant harp of gold, f
To the glad song. “Who doeth all things well.’’
—Henry Burton.
