Death of Mrs. T. J. Simmons.
Mrs. T. J. Simmons, wife of Pres
ident Simmons of Brenau College-
Conservatory, died in Dr. Kelly's
Sanitarium in Baltimore. Md., Tues
day night, where she had been a
patient for about six weeks.
Mrs. Simmons had been in the
sanitarium at tiiat place before
Christmas for an operation and was
improved to such an extent that she
returned home for the holidays and
had been in Gainesville until about
six weeks ago, when her condition
necessitated a return to the Sanita
rium, where every possible attention
was given her.
In addition to her husaand. Dr.
T. J. Simmons, the deceased is sur
vived by her father, one brother and
a sister.
Mrs. Simmons before marriage
was Celestia Muse Southgate, daugh
ter of James Southgate, of a distin
guished Virginia family, and Delia
Wynn Southgates one of the most
intellectual women of North Caro
lina. She was born in Louisburg,
N. C., where her parents were then
engagedin educational work at the
head of the Louisburg Female Col
lege. From her earliest childhood
she showed unusual powers of mind,
and in her favorite work—music—
she was considered by all a remark
able woman. She was educated in
Virginia and pursued her musical
education further in New York and
Europe.
After her marriage in 1891, she
went with her husband to Dawson.
Ga., and two years later to Eufaula,
Ala., and after five years moved to
Rome, where she did wonderful
work as director of the Conservatory
and head Professor of Voice in
Shorter College.
In 1910 she moved to Gainesville,
with her husband, who connected
himself with Dr. H. J. Pearce as
Associate President of Brenau, and
has hosts of friends here who are
saddened by her death.
She was Director of the Voice De
partment of Brenau.
To the few who who know inti
mately the home-life of Dr. and
Mrs. Simmons, there can be nothing
more beautiful than the true affec
tion quietly shown in the home, ‘"in
honor preferring one another,'’ the
husband giving credit for their
success to the wife, she to her hus
band.
The funeral will be held Friday
afternoon at Durham. N. C., her
old home, at 3 o'clock, and while
the furneral is being conducted
there, memorial services will be

GAINESVILLE. GEORGIA, THURSDAY MAY 21, 1914.
MERCHANTS' CARNIVAL 810
SUCCESS HERE TWO NIGHTS.
Every Merchant Represented by Pretty Girls
with Appropriate Advertising—
Papers Get a Look In.
The Merchants’ Carnival here
Monday and Tuesday nights was
something new in the way of an ad
vertising campaign, and was en
joyable at the same time; and those
who had the pleasure of attending
either of the two nights will stand
sponsor for this assertion.
Beautiful girls in attractive cos
tumes, with the proper “dip of
dope” on the business they repre
sented, brought much merriment
and applause from the vast audi
ence.
Newman-Frierson McEver Com
pany were represented in a phony
wedding. Parson Sam Ham, offi
ciating, was “a bird,” and the bride
and groom, Mr. Claud Barrett and
Miss Nell Bryant couldn’t have
played their parts better.
And Palmour Hardware Com
pany. Miss Jamie Jones came out
behind a screen door and sang a
beautiful and touching little ballad
entitled, “There are no Flies on
me,” which made a big hit with the
entire audience.
And Gainesville’s various banks
represented by Miss Emma Lee
Richardson and Miss Ruth Webb
beautifully costumed with repre
sentations of silver aud gold pieces
of money, and also the eagle, and
our okl friend E. Pluribus Unum,
were the center of attraction for
sometime.
Miss Julia Logan and Miss Estelle
Boggs, representing Dr. Clifton
Newton, were something real classy.
Miss Logan represented the doctor
selling “Granny Bunch” a pair of
glasses, and after soaking the pa
tient for eight simoleons for the
glasses, she had nerve enough to
ask the old woman to persuade her
husband to vote for the right party
for the “legislator.”
And Pilgrim-Estes Furniture
Company, represented by pretty
young women lounging on porch
furniture, made especially for the
good old summer time, was some
thing else.
W. J. & E. C. Palmour, repre
sented for everything that’s attrac
tive and up-tc-date in wearing ap
parel, couldn’t have had a better
representation than that given them
by Miss lone Tumlin.
Gould-Scoggins Company for
gents’ furnishings could have se
lected no better representative, had
it been left to them, than Miss Max
ine Dobbs.
Among others who deserve especial
comment, but whom we have not
space to go into details, are: Pruitt-
Barrett Co., Dr. J. B. George, Boyd
Grocery Company, Byron Mitchell,
Piedmont Drug Co., Geo. E.
Lederer, W. H. Muncy, Hardie &
Co., Robertson Drug Co., Parker
Book Store. Geo. P. Estes, Hosch
Bros. Co., Allen Bros., M. C.
Brown, U. R. Waterman, Red Gro
cery, and many others.
And, saving the dessert for the
last, we must express our gratifica
tion upon the very charming way in
which little Ola Belle Deason rep
resented the Eagle. She planned
her costume herself, drew a splendid
picture of the Bird of Freedom, and
got up her own line of talk. And
she did catch the crowd—no mistake
about it. Ola Belle is a peach—a
bewitching little damsel.
The management is, and should
be, justly proud of the manner in
which the Gainesville merchants
responded to this advertising cam
paign. and the manner in which it
was carried out by Gainesville
talent.
There was a prize of $2 offered for
the little girl who sold the greatest
number of tickets, and Miss Hazel
Davis captured this prize, while
another prize of $1 was offered for
the second greatest number of
tickets, and Miss Emma Cox toted
this one off.

A Paying Proposition.
Did you ever think about raising
dogs for a livelihood —a pleasure
and a paying proposition, too?
Well, Minor Lathem has a dog
that is some dog. He called us by
the other day to show us something
pretty, as he termed it. and we
agreed with him after looking over
a brood of ten xvee little purps.
There are five pairs of the little
fellows and they are marked in such
a manner that it is easy to get a
match pair.
One pair especially xve noticed
xvhere the male was solid xvhite
with the exception of his left ear,
xvhich xvas jet black, while the fe
male xvas solid white xvith the ex
ception of the right ear, xvhich was
black.
We xvere thinking of getting this
pair of doggies, but when we asked
what they xvere worth Mr. Lathem
told us he sold the males for a ten
spot and the females for a fiver.
We decided that this would be more
of a luxury than a necessity and
decided not to purchase.
But think about $75 worth of
daxvgs at a litter!

SI.OO a Year in Advance
NUMBER 21
ALAMO WILL GIVE “MOVIE”
LOVERS THE BEST ON TAB.
This Prominent Gainesville Theater for Screen
Lovers to Use Universal Films
Exclusively.
(BY STICKEM. )
In anotheY page of this issue of
the Eagle it will be seen that Mr.
A. R. Nininger, manager of the
Piedmont amusement company of
this city, xvill on next Monday begin
begin exclusive service of “Univer
sal Films.”
This announcement should be
xvelcomed by every one who really
loves screen actors, for the compa
nies represented in the Universal
combine, are the best of today, and
their actors are superb.
Among the companies constituting
the 1 niversal Mox’ing Pictures, are
The Crystal, Eclair, Frontier. Gold
Seal. Sterling (-thiscompany gets out
some comedies that are screams)
Bison (too much stress cannot be
laid upon the Western pictures pro
duced by this company, and we all
like Western pictures, xvhether we
happen to be among “Movie Lovers”
or not. There is something in a
western picture xvith daredevil
riders and shoothers that appeal to
all, and the Bison company takes
its name from the native North
American animal that once roamed
the western plains, xvhich is noxv
practically extinct. You will like
exery film you see produced by this
company.
Joker is another company that
gets out some comedies that xvill
make you crack your sides xvith
laughter. AV hen you see these films
all you have to do is to laugh and
groxv fat.
Nestor is another company repre
sented in the Universal Movies.
This company once had Mutt and
Jeff. Don't know xvhether they are
sili showing this feature comedy or
not, but their pictures are excellent.
Poxvers is another good band of
film producers xvith the best of ac
tors.
And our old friend Alkali Jke, is
to be Universal Ike, everybody
that likes comedy (who does not?)
falls in love heels over head xvith
Alkali. And he needs no introduc
tion in Gainesville.
By the xvay: Mr. Nininger xvas
once upon a time an actor, and he
and Ike xvere pals and played to
gether.
We shouldn’t tell this on him, but
we xvill. He told us that he and Ike,
like most other young men made off
xvith their spondulux as soon as they
earned it and were broke about half
of the time, (we know how that is,
because many of us do that now.)
But undaunted by not having the
xvherexvithal to purchase a hot
breakfast, they woludgather a tooth
pick and beat it down to headquar
ters looking as prosperous as lords.
(You see in this xvay they fooled
their stomachs and the other actors,
tQO.)
So it is not all together smooth
sailing xvith the genial faces xve
meet on the screen. They have as
many ups and downs as an elevator
boy. But be that as it may; whether
Ike looks prosperous because he is
prosperous or xvhether it is a face he
has borrowed for exclusive use on
the stage, he is a dandy and every
body likes his acting.
Jor us, xve are glad the Alamo has
made this change in its program of
film producers.
We will now hax r e some real treats
in comedies, scenic pictures, dramas,
and especially some swell features.
Read this week’s page ad.
And next week the serial story,.
‘■Lucille Love,” xvhich is noxv ap
pearing in the Atlanta Constitution,
will begin on the screen at the
Alamo. You should read this story
in the paper and then see it at the
Alamo. It is a corker. One of the
greatest stories ever written.
Will Open Porter Springs.
Mr. and Mrs. Al Hope will open
Porter Springs above Dahlonega
about the first of June. Mrs. Hope
xvill have charge of the culinary de
partment of this famous resort, and
that they will do well goes xvithout
saying. Mr. Hope says they xvill be
away from Gainesville until about
December.
Visiting Sister.
Miss Hallie Johnson of Atlanta is
this week a guest of her sister, Mrs.
R. J. Sanders, at her home on S.
Main street. Miss Johnston’s ad
mirers in Gainesville are legion, and
are ever happy to have her return
visit.
