The j boys at the store immediately be -1 came poetical, and one wrote: “The difference is this: These ! two grew on the same vine. HOKE ; SMITH and joe brown did not. j So here the difference lies, I wot; I Hoke Smith developed; but Brown did not.” ■ Then another wrote: J "Joe Brown may think he's some potatoes.

Johnson was run down by an automobile driven by Mrs. Hayne Palmour Tuesday even and sustained a broken leg and sev eral’other bruises. It seems from all accounts, that Col. Johnson had started across Washington street in front of the postoffice to catch the Green street car home, and was so intent upon catching the car that he did not see the automobile approaching from the rear. He was carried to a local sanita rium. where he was given medical aid. and although he is in a painful condition, it is not thought that his woulds are serious. Frank Duncan’s Reason. Editor Eagle: In last week's Buford Journal I notice an article from Frank Dun can in which he says I am for Char ters because Bell refused to get me the Gainesville post-office. Well, since he has impugned my motives in the matter I might as well tell those who don’t know, why Frank Dunean is tearing his shirt for Tom Bell. It will be remembered that a near relative of Mr. Duncan was on trial in Hall Superior Court a few years ago. At that time Mr. Bel! was Clerk of the Superior court, and gave much valuable assistance to Mr. Duncan in many ways—helping strike jury. etc. Now. I don't blame Mr. Duncan for sticking to the man who assisted him in his hour of need. I just want it understood that he is not for Bell altogether from patriotic motives. R. I). MITCHELL.

Gainesville Roller Mills So Constructed that No Rotten Grain or Husks that Might Prove Unhealthful Can Go Through Mill. 1 hat Pellagra is caused from eat ing cornbread is given as a fact by the country’s foremost Scientists, and in the Atlanta Journal of June 2sth the State Board of heath says, "Eat Cornbread at Your Peril,” amt Dr. H. F. Harris, secretary of the Board, bases it on twelve years investigation. Dr. Harris has studied many languages to enable him to make a thorough and complete study of the disease. He says that it is mouldy, musty corn that causes the disease. Tne Gainesville Roller Mill Com pany of this city has the most com plete machinery for eliminating any corn that might have a tendency to cause this dreaded disease, that the country affords. The corn sheller takes out the gieatei part of silks, husks, and rotten and faulty grains. It is then carried through three other sepa rators, which absolutely take out every faulty grain, and when it goes to the rock there is nothing but the large, firm grains, and when it comes out in meal it is as white as flour, and absolutely pure. It would pay every consumer of meal in Gainesville to visit the Gainesville Mill and see the process. After going through the third sepa rator the corn husks are blown out through a pipe rim through the top of a building. This latter process insures a per fect meal —ground from Georgia’s best corn. Mr. Terrell, the manager of the mill, is a staunch believer in patron izing home industry, consequently he doesn’t buy any shipped corn when he.can procure it at home, and he says that he loses heavily on shipped corn, owing to the fact that it has so much more faulty corn and rotten grains. Besides patronizing home industry 7 and keeping money at home that lias been going out of town, you are insured ot something pure, and a food that will no! give you pella gra, lor the grain containing the pellagra germ is eliminated by the latest process—a machinery that will not let a faulty grain get into meal or flour. And his Hour mill is the most com plete known to the industry today. The mashing of the gain goes through six processes; the first pro cess mashes the grain just a little, the second a little more, and so on until it eventually comes out of the last process into Hour almost as white as the driven snow, and a pure as can be made from the best wheat obtainable. ft is absolutely pure, and free from any chalk or whitening, as is the case with most patent Hour. It will pay every consumer, for the health’s sake alone, to pay a visit to the mill and see it in operation. Patronize home industry—be in sured oi good health—and keep your money at home where it will return to you. I’hen Saturday’s nights pay roll builds up a town, and enter prises like the Gainesville Roller Mill make the Saturday night pay roll—and that payroll gets into cir culation before the following Sat-, day night.

Redwine a Past Master’s Jewel in recognition of hi- longyears of work for Masonry. The presentation was made by Mr. Perry in his own inimitable manner. He reviewed the long Masonic ca reer and splendid example of this aged patriach, who has so beauti fully exemplified the teachings of this grand order, and whose whole some personality will be felt in Masonic circles for years to come. It is largely through his conception of the teachings of Masonry that the order has taken such highstand ing and has been placed on such solid footing. The grand old man was visibly touched by the token of love from j his brethern, ami admonished them to hold the standard high and never' tire in the good work. Sl.oo a Year in Advance NUMBER 29 I CANTRELLS LOSE BEFORE THE PRISON COMMISSION. Prison Board Refused Monday to Recom mend Commutation for Either of the Cantrell Boys. Col. Fletcher M. Johnson Monday received notice that the Prison Com mission had refused to recommend a life sentence for Jim Cantrell, and it is also understood that Bart has been turned down. Ihe Cantrell case has been the hardest fought ease in the history ot Hall county where there was no money connected. The parents of Jim and Bart are absolutely penni less, and what little household goods they had were destroyed by fire a few nights ago. “To him who hath, it shall be given, and so him who hath not. shall be taken even that which he hath.” Could there be anything truer than this in the case of the families of Jim and Bartow Cantrell? It is stated that Governor Slaton informed the committee from Hall county who went down a few days ago in the interest of the boys, that even if the Board reecommended a commutation he didn’t know what action he would take in the matter. And so it is a safe bet now that Hall county will have a double hanging of two white men, and two of her sons that were reared under the sound of church bells in a sec tion that is never visited by the missionaries. Had they been reared in China or India it might have been different, but they were reared in a civilized country, and that may make the difference. Yes, the Cantrells must be hung for murdering another human being to satisfy personal prejudices, and to satisfy the baser desire of the brute nature that had outgrown their moral nature for the want of the missionaries and the Sabbath Schools of our civilized country. Friends of the boys have done their duty. And Jim says he is thankful to his friends for what they have done for him. The Eagle will print a statement from Jim Cantrell, the first that has been given out from the boys since their incarceration, after the execu tion has taken place. - «► "Polly” Had a Birthday.
