Tire news was floating aroxind, in the '•shape of rumors mostly, last week that the Chamber of Commerce anc the County Contmissior-.ers anc the City Fathers were thinking about making a new city pack out es the did one, and that it if thought the work could be d»®ne with the ex penditure of about $1,500, and fur ther, that the couiaty would in all probability spend about SI,OOO in working the convicts and in .There could be (nothing done at p- esent of more material benefit to Gainesville than having a nice-city park made. The -site of the old one is beautiful, and has all the shade necessary, and the scenic beauty is not surpassed in Hall county. Now for the county giving work. -Should the county do thisthere (would certainly some good citizen etart a howl about ■‘•‘the county wasting money.’' GI course there would. Did you ever know ’it to fail? But there are other angles. When you take the fact into con tideration that the city paysmearly two-thirds of the tax money that goes into the county treasury, it ad vances the thought that the city is entitled to that much work. We are for the city park being beautified, and whether the county gives a penny 'or not, it should be done this summer. A dancing pavilion and a skating rinkand a ball ground could be made there and the receipts could .go to the cty treasury, and the rent dur ing the -summer months would be heavy This would pay a bigger dividend in oct opinion than filling up the hole beyant Brenau and making a black snake curve out of the eon tinuaticn of Washington street, run ning parallel with Spring street and only a few feet away. “Lucille Love.” This interesting serial story which is being presented at the Alamo Theater every week, will come on Mondays hereafter instead of Sat ti ays.

Pickard, pastor of the First Baptist church of Savannah, Ga.. has been elected president of Mercer University. Dr. Pickard is ! one of the best known and most popular ministers in Georgia. Chasing the Fly, i Dr. McDermed of the Piedmont | Drug Company has hit upon a new : idea for keeping the flies out of that j store. And he is doing it in this ■ fashion: A fly will light on a screen I door and when you open the door Ihe will beat you in by a mile, but j with Dr. McDermed’s scheme the' j fly can't get to the door. He has i installed an electric fan in front of | the door, so therefore he has no 1 flies, for they can’t get in the house i for the fan and doors. j Another good way to swat the fly 'is this: First you place a little j syrup in a saucer and when agoodly • number of flies have congregated, I you swing your hand across the 1 saucer, which disturbance arouses > them, and just as they are departing ' you grab a handful—you will nearly ■always get three or four—youthen ' stick your hand in a pot of boiling i hot water and release the flies while j your hand is under the hot water. 1 You will never fail to kill what ! flies you have in your hand if you ; follow directions.
