says it seems to have been a hurry
call with the young people, and they
waited until 7 o'clock to come for
the license. After selling the license
to the young people they insisted
that the Judge should marry them,
which he flatly refused to do. but
went in search Brother Christopher.
The guests at Judge Whelchel’s,
wanting to see the performance,
started to peep into the room where
Brother Christopher was tying the
nuptial, but the young lady, being
of a bashful temperament, asked
I Mrs. Gaillard please to take them
i into another room, which she did.

j people into her room and they were
I married.

GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 01. 1014
SOUTH CAROLINA HAS NOW
EVENED UP WITH BLEASE.
“The Mills of the God’s Grind Slew; But they
Grind Exceedingly Fine.’’ —Cole L.
Biease Got His.
( BY STICK EM)
“First in war,’’ but not in peace,
but loved by her countrymen, is
South Carolina, where the first gun
of the Civil War was tired—no. not
a “civil” war, far be it from such —
but South Carolina iias lost the
blackleg Governor, Cole L. Blease,
who aspired to the U. S. Senate fiom
that grand old State.
And Cole thought he had the bull
by the tail and a down hill pull, ami
he did, so far as the gamblers and
rag-tag were concerned, but they
played out before he got a majority
—thank goodness.
Three times during the Blease re
gime telegrams were passed between
the “late governor” and Senator B.
R. Tillman, who in our private esti
jjjation is next best to Hoke Smith,
fed whom the South Corolinians
have honored for the past eighteen
teen years.
Yes, three times were telegrams
passed between these hard fighters
and heavy hitters.
'Here is the telegram sent Blease
by Tillman when Blease was first
1 elected Governor:
Hon. Z?ole L. Blease,
Newberry, S. C.
Congratulations; let the heathen
: rage. B. R. Tillman.
Now, in 1912 Tillman bitterly op
! posed the election of Blease, but
j notwithstanding this fact, Tillman
1 couldn't control the vote, and Blease
was elected. Then Blease sent this
to Tillman:
B. R. Tillman,
Trenton, S. C.
Let the heathen rage. They still
rage. Cole L. Blease.
Tillman, at the last primary, was
' still reformed as to having suppor-
I ted “the late governor” in his first
i race, and being overjoyed by this
’ defeat of the gambling governor,
he sent the following telegram to
Blease:
Hon. Cole L. Blease,
Newberry, S. C.
The heathen still rage, but the
people rejoice—see Dent. 3:2-15.
I Goodbye. B. R. Tillman.

In the rear of thehall, in an effec
tively arranged alcove, the punch
bowl was presided over by Misses

‘ ; In the dining room the central
decoration was a large basket of
■ pink and white roses, interspersed
■ with cut ferns, that was supported
’ by the table, that had for its cover
ing a mat of cluny lace. At the
: conclusion of interesting games| a
! | pretty ice course was served.

tality, and avowed they had never
• spent a more delightful evening.

HAVE YOU BOUGHT 4 BALE
OF COTTON AT TEN CENT.?
The Robertson Drug Company and the Far
mers and Merchants Bank Have—
You May See Them.
Perhaps nothing is doing more
good to keep down the hard-times
scare than the instigation .of “Buy a
Bale of Cotton at 10 Cents,” which
started in Atlanta daily papers.
But it won’t end in Atlanta after
it once gets to going, for the progres
sive citizens of Gainesville will fall
right in line It is a safe wager now
that in a few days time every mer
chant in Gainesville and every citi
zen that can raise the money will
have a bale of cotton.
There are many of Gainesville’s
men and women that could buy a
bale of cotton and hold it from one
to five years and never miss the
money tied up, while others, if they
only held it for a short time, would
help the farmers who are compelled
to sell and it, bring a good price by
Christmas.
Aou will not lose a cent by paying
10 cents for cotton today, for there
will not be as much planted another
year as was this; and if there is,
the demand will he as great as the
supply.
You will help the farmer, you will
help the the merchants, and you
will help yourself, by buying a bale
of cotton at 10 cents—don't pay less.
You won t miss the money inves
ted and you will help the farmer—
and he will spend it with the mer
chant and help him.
Don’t howl hard times. Buy a
bale of cotton and “.blow” good
times.
And report to the Eagle. We will
an honor roll.
Pay Attention.
If you know of a child of school
age, whose father is dead and who
is unable to buy school books, please
communicate with the Eagle office.
We want only genuine cases.
Mr. and Mrs. Scoggin's Guests.
Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Sullens and
Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Caudellof Bald
win were last week guests of Mr.
and Mr. J. W. Scoggins. Mrs. Cau
dell and Mrs. Sullens are sisters of
Mr. Scoggins.
Guest of Miss Hendrix.
Miss Maude Allen of Hoschton is
this week a guest of Miss Annie Mae
Hendrix at her home on Banks
street. Miss Allen has many friends
in Gainesville who are always de
lighted when she comes.
All-Day Singing,
There will be an all-day singing
at Union church on the third
Sunday in September, conducted by
Turk brothers and W. H. and W. T.
Irvin. Everybody invited to attend
and enjoy the day.
Some War Talk.
The Pilgrim-Estes Furniture Co.
have interesting line of talk on hard
times and good times —how to avoid
the former and attain to the latter.
It is a good, wholesome talk, full
of good sense and good advice.
AVe hope you will read it.
First Methodist Church.
The pastor will preach Sunday
morning 11.30 o’clock and evening
at 9 o’clock. A coming together
of the congregation is especially re
quested in entering upon the fall
season.
Small Blaze at Mr. Harrison's.
The fire department was called
out to the residence of Mr. W. T.
Harrison last Friday morning to ex
tinguish a blaze that was caused
from a defective stove flue. Very
little damage was done.
No Dinner for Parker.
An Eagle reporter dropped into
the Parker Book Store after the
rush Monday. The proprietor was
panting and puffing. The fact of
the business is he hadn’t had time to
stop over for his dinner and hadn't
even had time to get but one drink
of water throughout the day. Mr.
R. B. Hardie went into thestore that
morning to make a purchase and
Mr. Parker put him to work and he
didn’t get away until night. Like
wise one of DeLacy Law’s boys
went into the store and he was put
to work and he didn’t get away any
more.
A fine baby girl made its arrival
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dathan
1 Jones Monday.

of teachers for the coming scholastic
year.

thoroughly satisfied with the work
done by their children at the close
of school.
There are thirty more children
enrolled this year than has ever
been known since the first year of
the public schools in Gainesville.

SHOOTS AROUND CHURCH
BECAUSE BOY TAKES GIRL
Will Jones Raises Considerable Disturbance
1
on Factory Hill Friday Night—was
Drinking.
Will Jones, a young white man
on Factory Hill, last Friday night
carried his best girl to church, and
being a little intoxicated left her at
the door and stayed on the outside
of. the church. After the services
were over the young man returned
for the girl, but she had decided
that another young man should
have the honor of her company
home.
This raised Jones’ Irish and he
pulled his gun and began firing into
the air.
Sheriff Spencer was notified of the
event ami Style Buffington, his
deputy, immediately went in quest
of Jones. The latter was in the
vicinity of the Southern depot when
Mr. Buffington first saw him. and
also there was a freight train at the
depot. Jones, seeing Mr. Buffing
ton, grabbed the freight train just
as it was leaving the station and
waved a hearty farewell to the
deputy.
But Brother Buffington wasn't
going to have it rubbed in like that,
so he wired the police at Buford to
pull Jones from the train when it
arrived. Next morning he received
a message from thete saying that
Jones was awaiting the Sheriff's
arrival.
It was decided by counsel for
Jones that he would get trial in City
Court. Judge Looper called a
special sitting Monday afternoon.
There were three cases against
Jones. He plead guilty in one ease
—paying the costs to be allowed to
do so—while in the other case he
also plead guilty with a fine, while
the third case was no! pressed.
Judge Looper at first fined Jones
SSO and costs, but as Col. Gaillard
made such a strong plea lor the
young man. saying that he had not
been in court before, . udge Looper
reconsidered and made the three
cases cos; Jones SIOO even, including
costs
Jones said that he would leave
town alter he had paid the fine.
BRUNAU’S PATRIOTISM.
From Macon News:
This is a free advertisement for
Brenau College. It is the sort of ad
vertising that money cannot buy,
since the editorial space of this
paper is not, and has never been,
for sale.
I’iie News desires to commend the
officials ot Brenau College as pro
gressive, patriotic citizens, with the
welfare of their state and the cause
of education close at heaft.
By agreeing to accept cotton at a
ten cents valuation in payment of
the tuition and expense of
farmers daughters who are attend
ing the college, Brenau has fallen
in line with the plan inagurated by
the American National Bank of
Macon. Brenau accords cotton the
merit of currency.
No country girl desirous of at
tending Brenau need hesitate for
want of money if her father has
cotton and is willing to proffer it as
a collateral.
The -Macon bank. Brenau and
several other intitutions have shown
the way for the maintenance of the
prosperity ot this state. If their
examples are followed, there is no
reason why the European war should
cause us any distress.
