Colored School Closes.
s The colored public school exercises
occurred at St. .John Baptist church
last nicht, when nine pupils received
their diplomas. The exercises by
the pupils would have done credit
to many schools of this State.
This class of boys and girls could
sing, too. They favored the audi
ence with various selections, and
later a play, which was very good.
The class presented Prof. \\ illiams
with a remembrance, and asked
Prof. Mershou to present it to their
Professor for them, which he did.
and took occasion to say that he was
glad that the children had expressed
their appreciation of Prof. Williams'
work in this manner.
There is nothing quite so good as
having your labor appreciated.
Autos Got Tired.
Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Darnell, Mr.
W. A. Ramsuer, and Miss Teresa
Beets, while returning from a day's
visit to Canton Sunday, had an aci
dent that almost proved disastrous.
However, the partv escaped with a
little shaking up. except Mr. Dar
nell. who got a fling into a nearby
corn patch.
It seems that the steering-gear of
the automobile became locked in
some manner, so that Mr. Ramsuer
could not guide the machine. He
succeeded, however, in getting the
machine almost stopped, when it
ran into a ditch and turned over,
pitching Mr. Darnell out. while the
rest of the party succeeded in
sticking to the machine.
Mr. Darnell says that just a mile
farther down the road from where
their accident occurred they passed
another joy rider, whose machine
had turned turtle.
No Union of Presbyterians.
Kansas City, Mo., May 23.—Com
missioners of the general assembly
of the Southern Presbyterian church
here stated today that probably no
action toward the union of the
seventeen Presbyterian organiza
tions in the United States will be
taken up at this session.
Overtures of the Presbyterian
church of the United States pleading
for the union of all Presbyterian
bodies in a federated union, under
the direction of a Presbyterian con
gress patterned after the national
congress, was received and referred
to the Unity Committee.
The women's council considered
the suggestion of donation to be
made direct to the church instead
of through the woman's auxiliary,
but a decision was not reached.
A general educational conference
was held tonight centering on plans
for the education of more young
men and women in the Presbyterian
colleges.
The new Presbyterian training
school for Christian workers is to be
established at Richmond, Va.. next
fall for the training of lay workers.

Europe Has Largest Tunnels.
The United States has for so long
been pre-eminent in the realm of size
that it comes almost as a shock to
realize that the largest railway tun
nels are on the continent of Europe.
Os these the longest is the Simplon,
twelve and a quarter miles through the
Alps. Two others, the St Gothard
and the Lotschberg. are over nine and
one-third miles long, and the Mont
Cenis is over seven miles long. In all
there are fourteen tunnels over four
miles long. The longest tunnel in this
country is the Hoosac, four and one
third miles long.—American Machinist
Italy's Piuma Grass.
Piuma grass, used in Italy for the
manufacture of brooms for sweeping
highly polished floors, is a product of
swampy regions, particularly in south
eastern Lombardy, southern Venetia
; and northern Emilia, in which sections
it is said to grow abundantly. Mantua.
Lombardy, is the center of the trade in
piuma grass. Peasants around Mantua
1 gather it during the first three weeks
iin September, about two weeks before
it begins to blossom.
' Self Pity.
Self pity, morally, mentally and phys
ically, tends to depress and weaken
the victim, to render him ineffective
and impractical. The person who is
[ chronically sorry for himself becomes
a nuisance. He thinks the world owes
him something, and his one ambition
in life is to collect the debt—Woman’s

False Reports Naiied.
Editor Eagle:
When I was a candidate six years
ago somebody started false reports
against me. One of the reports was
that I paid I. E. Jay $25 to carry the
Fork District for was not
so. Another false report was that I
paid the same man SIOO to carry that
district. Both were false reports.
Mr. Jay’knows I never paid him
anything to vote or work for me. I
hope that no one will start any false
reports on me this time. This
makes me think of what I heard on
another candidate once. He said
he was out electioneering, and there
was a man told him that he heard
he had stolen six shotes. He asked
him if it was so. He said no, it was
not so. He went out the next day
and some one told him that there
was affidavits made out that he had
stole them shotes. He went home
and told his Wife about it. She
asked him if he had stole them
shotes. He said, “No, T never.”
He said he believed he would come
down and get out of it.
1 am going on with my business.
The man that made them false re
ports on me made me think of one
occurrence of the Apostle Paul. He
said that Alexander, the Copper
smith. did him much evil. He said
the Lord would reward him accor
ding to his works. That's what I
say about the man that started them
false reports on me—the Lord re
ward him according to his works.

Baseball Tomorrow.
A game of baseball that promises
to be of unusual interest to the fans
of Gainesville will be tomorrow
afternoon at Brenau Park, when the
sales people of Newman-Frierson-
McEver Company cross bats with
those of W. J. & E. C. Palmour.
The young men of those two pro
gressive firms have been putting in
some good practice since the early
closing campaign began, and the
game promises to be an interesting
one from start to finish; and, by the
way, it will be free. So you needn't
feel any delicacy about being on
hand.
Some Preaching.
We ran upon Brother Belk some
days ago —he was boiling over with
good cheer, as usual. He had just
returned from a whirlwind cam
paign against Old Satan—he had
preached 52 sermons —had preached
every day for a month —some days
two sermons and some days three.
And yet he seemed in the pink of
condition.
And did you know that the
Travelers’ Protective Association is
booming Brother Belk lor Governor
on the Prohibition ticket? Well, he
has received many letters from
members of the T. P. A. to that
effect.
And what a glorious Governor he
would make for the great State of
Georgia’
May Run for Senate.
In the last few weeks many per
sons have favorably mentioned Mr.
S. K. Christopher for the State Sen
ate. He is in all respects a good
man for this place. He is quiet,
conservative, well equipped and
well informed as to the needs of the
people.
Mr. Christopher has served two
terms in the lower house of the
Georgia Legislature, and did some
thing. He was author of the bill to
make it a misdemeanor to appear
drunk on the public highways, and
this law has done much to conserve,
public morals amUdecency.
He was also author of that excel
lent law requiring sheriffs to keep
on hand well-trained bloodhounds to
track down criminals in emergencies.
This law is plainly on the statute
books, but is being ignored by almost
every sheriff in the State.
Mr. Christoper is a very popular
man in all sections of the county.

DON'T GROW BALD
Use Parisian Sage
If your hair is getting thin, losing
its natural color, or has that matted,
lifeless, and scraggy appearance, the
reason is evident —dandruff and fail
ure to keep the hair roots properly
nourished.
Parisian Sage appled daily for a
week and then occasionally is all
that is needed. It removes dandruff
with one application; almost imme
diately stops falling hair and itching
head; invigorates the scalp and
makes dull stringy hair soft, abun
dant and radiant with life. Equally
good for men. wamen or children —
every one needs it.
A large bottle of this delightful
hair tonic can be had from Dr. J.
B. George or any drug counter for
50 cents. You will surely like Pa

Britt Craig Had No Use for Flowers.
From Macon News.
Atlanta. Ga., May 25. —The flowers
which were provided by loving
friends for Britt Craig, popular
newspaper man. last night, are des
tined to wither away in their vases
without the melancholy honor of
adorning his grave. Britt isn't
dead. He isn't even sick. But
thereby hangs a tale. The flowers
were really provided in good faith.
Atlanta rejoices in a motordrome.
A motordrome is a dish-shaped mo
torcycle race track, built out of slats,
with walls almost perpendicular—so
steep, in fact, that a motorcycle has
to be going between 50 and 100 miles
an hour before it can climb up the
side of the track at all.
People got tired of the motorcycle
game because nobody got killed of
ten enough, and some original min
ded daredevil figured out that it
would be a great stunt to have a
sure-enough auto, with four wheels
and a six cylinder racing engine. A
driver named Edgars, it was an
nounced, was going to drive a big
car at racing speed around the mo
tordrome. iNo body believed it until
the fact was added to the story pub
lished in the papers that Britt Craig
was going to act as the mechanician.
Then everybody knew it might be
true.
So Britt’s friends hade him a fond
farewell. The beautiful young lady
with tiie curly golden hair that sits
at the Constitution switchboard
bought him a nosegay of his favor
ite flowers, and the city editor ob
tained the address of l.is parents in
order to be able to wire them the
sad news.
The race was to take place last
night. But this is a story with no
point, and an anti-climax. There :
wasn't any race. Britt says Edgars
blames it on the car. And as the
car can't talk, that ends it.

Dodson’s Liver Tone Takes th? Place
of Disagreeable Calomel and
its Often Dangerous After-
Effects.
You probably know that calomel
is a poison, a form of mercury, very
dangerous to a great many people
and causing disagreeable after
effects for nearly everyone who
tries it.
Dodson's Liver Tone is recom
mended as a perfectly safe and re
liable remedy to take the place of
calomel. This is exactly what it is
made for and has been made for
ever since the first bottle was put
up and sold.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pretty
widely imitated. But be careful to
judge between the loud boasts ot the
imitators and the plain truth of the
original.
Dodson's Liver Tone is sold and
guaranteed by Dr. J. B. George who
will refund purchase price (50c.)
instantly with a smile it you are in
any "ay dissatisfied.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a palatable
vegetable liquid. Its action is easy
and natural, with no gripe, no pain
and the after-effects are pleasant
instead of disagreeable. Dodson's
Liver 'lone does not interfere with
your regular duties, habits and diet,
but builds and strengthens instead
of weakening you or “knocking you
all out'’ for days. Try Dodson's
and feel better and brighter, as
thousands have.

FACTS and FICTION
Experiences of Gainesville Citizens
Are Easily Proven to be Facts. 1
The most superficial investigation
will prove that the following state
ment from a resident of Gainesville
is true. Read it and compare evi
dence from Gainesville people with
testimony of strangers living so far
away you cannot investigate the
facts of the case. Many more citizens
of Gainesville endorse Doan’s Kid
ney Pills.
“A few years ago my back pained
me and sometimes it was almost im
possible for me to stoop or lift,”
says F. L. Comer, carpenter and
machinist, of 23 West Ave., Gaines
ville. “My Kidneysdidn’tactas they
should and cause me a lot annoy
ance. I found prompt relief in
Doan's Kidney Pills. For years I
have had no suffering from kidney
trouble, and my bark has been
strong. I have great confidence in
Doan's Kidney Pills and recommend
them to anyone who needs a good
kidney medicine.”
