WORK PROGRESSING ON THE GAINESVILLE MIDLAND DEPOT Will Be Ready for Occupancy by September 15th, Says the Contractor, Mr. Levi Prater. The work of construction of the new depot for the Gainesville Mid land Railway is progressing nicely, and the main office rooms and wait ing rooms of this magnificent struc ture will be ready for occupancy by the 15th of Sebtember, according to Levi Prater. the contractor in charge of the work. The upper story of the building will be used for the main offices and the office of the General manager and the superintendents, while the lower story will be used for the white and colored waiting rooms and the ticket offices and operators’ offices. It is now thought that perhaps there will be a shed of 200 feet length built over the tracks, but whether this will be done right now is not known, but if not at present it will be done later. The freight rooms of the new depot will extend down the tracks toward Broad street from the main build ing, which faces on Spring street, and will be a very pretty Structure. Re-pressed brick are being used, and look very much like those that were used in building the First Methodist church, while black mor tar is being used between the layers, which makes an attractive front. The Gainesville Northwestern will use the station with the Mid land a- heretofore. With the completion of the Mid land depot, the city will have two railway stations that she or any other city that ranks above her in population might well feel proud of. We doff our hats to the Midland and Southern authorities. 1 Letters Uncalled For Remaining on hand in the Gaines ville post-office for the week ended August 17. 1914: ladies: Mrs. Katie Beall, Mrs. W.

Smith is on a visit to Ashville and Waynesville, N. C. Miss Powell To Lecture. The people of our city have a rare opportunity and intellectual treat in store for them in the series of lectures by Miss Powell on Paychol ogy of Music and how to sing. The first lecture will be given Fri day evening at 8.30 o’clock in Ora tory Hall, Brenau College; the suc ceeding lectures will be given on Tuesday and F riday evenings of the two following weeks. The proceeds of these lecture will be given entirely to charitable work —one-half will be given to the Lo gan E. Bleckley Memorial School lor mountain boys and girls, at Clayton Ga., and half to the Daugh ters of the Confederacy who are sending two worthy daughters of a Confederate Veteran, to the Normal School at Milledgeville. Only under these conditions could Miss Powell be induced to give this series of splendid lectures at this time. All of the music lovers of which our city boasts and is justly proud are appreciating and taking ad vantage of this opportunity which will not be ours again. Those who have heard Miss Powell on other occasions know something of her personal magnetism and strength of the truths she portrays. The people of crowded cities as well as of the small towns in the north, gladly hear these lectures at Ten Dollars for the course, but at home—down South—and for the -ake of these worthy interests, we can hear the course of five lectures for Three Dollars.

Regular Services at Presbyterian. Our pastor having returned from his vacation regular services will be held in this church every Sunday at lU3O a. m., and 8.30 p. m.; Sunday School at 10 a. m. Visitors always welcome. If your pastor is away on his vacation, or if you are here for the summer, come and worship with us. Why not make every Sunday a “Go-to-Church Sunday?'’ Many people seem to think that religion is only fit to die with. The fact is that unless we live it every day we will not have enough to die on. In the “good old days” folks went to church and stayed all day. but now we cannot stay for an hour in a com fortable church. “What, could ye not watch with me one hour.” — Matt. 26:40. Deacon.

Miss Ruth Smith added so much to the occasion with her lovely voice. May all house parties be as perfect in eyery detail as this one. A Much-Needed Law. The recent legislature amended the garnishment law as follows: All persons shall be exempt from the process and liabilities of gar nishment on $1.25 per day of their daily, weekly, or monthly wages, and on 50 per cent of the excess thereof, whether in the hands of their employers or others.

SI,OO a Year in Advance NUMBER 34 GREAT SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING AT CLERMONT. Hall County S. S. Association will Hold Ser vices Next Tuesday and Wednesday. Three delegates are invited to be present from .every white Sunday School in the county.

The first train leaves Tuesday morning at 9.45. and last train Wednesday afternoon leaves Cler mont at 3.26. and the round trip fare will be sixty four cents, good for the two days. This convention of Hall County Sunday Schools is open to all Sunday School workers. It will be seen that the schedules are convenient for those who will be able to spend only a day. Mr. D. W. Sims, known all over the South, as one of the best authori ties on Sunday School work and methods, is on the program for both days. One certainly gains lots of inspiration from hearing so well posted a man as he. Miss Daisy Magee, whose work extends all over the state, is an expert on Elementary instruction, ami will conduct a model class and illustrate the best methods in teaching the lesson, be fore the convention. A number of the local and county talent will be scheduled for addresses on that branch of Sunday School work in which they are particularly interested, as also will be many of the Division Presidents. Open dis cussions will be held, which always brings out an exchange of experi ences that are immensely helpful. This meeting is a branch of the State Association, which is non-de nominational. and is a co-operative effort of all denominations to im prove and extend Sunday School work in Georgia.* All delegates, superintendents, • and pastors are requested to notify Henry H. Estes, Secretay, of their going so that accommodations may be arranged for them. Returned from Oklahoma.

Antioch Gamp Meeting will begin next Friday and this promises to be a big meeting. Dr. S. R. Belk will do a great part of the preaching at this meeting which is to say that much good will be accomplished. Squelched His Patriotism. It is not likely that any question of whether this country has violated her neutrality will arise over the case of an Austrian reservist whose wife appealed to the courts at Eliza beth. New Jersey, to compel him to stick to his job in this country and support her rather than to go to war. The judge who heard the case seems to think patriotism begins at home, as he ordered the reservist to mobil ize $lO a week for his wife. The would-be soldier will have to follow the hum-drum path of peace and Austria has lost a fighter. The people of the United States are not anxious to face the necessity of car ing for the families of a lot of Eu ropean nationals who leave their wives and •hildren here while they journey to the Old World to shoot each other. The Fraudulent Check BUI The legislature did a srood piece of “eleventh hour” work where when it passed the bill which makes it a misdemeanor to issue a check when the man who -inns it has not sufficient funds in bank to meet it. There has been a need for such a law in Georgia for a longtime. Un der the present regulation a man with a banx account could give a check even if he only thought he had a balance sufficient to cover it ami there was no way to punish him for it. There have been numerous incidents througiiou the State in which thi- practice ha- been in dulged in and nobody has been made to -uffer except the man who really furni-hed the cash and had the phony paper pm off on him. I nder the law which has now passed both he house and senate, t’n - man wiio gives a bad check and fail- to make .* good within thirty day- can be prosecuted for the com mission of a misdemeanor.
