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 held at Brenau College here in her memory. Mrs. J. N.

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. —.» & Beloved Citizen Passes Away.

Mr. McEver had been sick for sometime, hence his death came as no surprise to his family and friends. He is survived by nine children, his wife having died more than a year ago.

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!

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.
