Gainesville—-The Queen
City Of The Mouu-
tains.
I feel that I should be doing
Gainesville an injusties not to men
tion through my county paper the
royal bospitalitv extended to the
postmasters convention which met
tnere Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of last week. Indeed her
praises are being sounded by visi>
tors from East to West from
North to South of the beautiful
manner in which we were enter¬
tained. The president of the con¬
vention said t he v had met m differ
ent cities for five years but they
had never met in no place such
lovely people as in Gainesville.
The posmasters were all entertain
ed at Brenau College also held
their convention the beautiful i
auditorium. The opening of the
convention was national songs by
eight hundred school children—
each bearing an American flag. Ad

II Perrv, Geo. P. Estes, and Col.
Howard Thompson, it was pleas
mg to note the beautiful tribute
each paid to their postmaster,
4/rs. Ellen Longstreet, whom we
ot Franklin county feel proud and
love. ISext came the business ses
sion, and late m afternoon we
were treated to a watermelon cut
ting in the beautiful grove of the
college—followed by a free ride
over the city. At r.ine p. m. J/rs.
Longstreet entertained at an in¬
formal ’reception at the Chat¬
tahoochee Park. At two p. m
we were invited to the Park
the beatiful Chattahoochee to a
Georgia barbecue given by the cit
lzens of Gainesville. It was the
largest gathering at a barbecue 1
ever saw, and it was amusing to
see the northern women and men
looking at the pits where the
meats were cooked, They said
thar, was their first barbecue. On
Thursday night we were again en
tertained at the Park to a Dutch
supper, and I am glad to tell you
that the beer was left off. Next
day the convention closed at 12
o’clock and the postmasters left
for Atlanta on three o’clock train
to be entertained by Governor and
M rs. Brown at the mansion. This
was the first time the National con
vention of Postmasters ever met in
the South and the president told
us that it was brought there from
a beautiful speech made a t Indmap
olis by the postmaster of Gainsville
and that she captivates rfiie north
and when she invited them to
Gainesville that they could not
find it in their hearts to say nay.
The memories of this pleasant con
yen tion where there was no north,
no south - but one American peo
pie, will linger in our nearts-.and
we shall ever cherish a tender spot
in our hearts for the loyely people
of the “Queen City” of the moun
tains.

NO. 93
S. J. Tribble Fr Co
gress,
The race for congress has open
ed in this district.
It is generally known that
Congressman Howard will ask
for re-electi m and in today’s is¬
sue of the Banner, Col. Samuel
J. Tribble, of this city, makes
known his intention tc contest
with Mr. Howard for the posi¬
tion of congressman from this
district.
Mr. Tribble has for eighteen
years been a member of the Ath¬
ens bar. He has held the posi¬
tion of solicitor of the Athens
City Court and for four years
served as solicitor general of
the Western Circuit, filling both
these offices with conspicuous
ability.
It is his intention to make a
very active canvass for the posi¬
tion during the next eleven
months, the primary occurring
sometime next August.
Mr. Tribble is a native of
Franklin county and a graduate
of the University of Georgia,
and has lor years been one of
our best known and most highly
respected citizens.
A Banner representative,hav¬
ing heard the rumor that Mr.
Tribble would make this race,
asked him as to the truth of it
and in reply Mr. Tribble said:
“I do not recall a public man
j n Georgia in many years who
has been tetter treated by the
people than Congressman How¬
arc ^ As solicitor general eight
years and congressman fourteen
years, he has drawn from the
public treasury more than one
hundred and twenty-five thou¬
sand dollars and probably as
much as one hundred and sixty
thousand dollars, He has held
this position almost undisturbed,
having had very little opposition
all these years. Now, what spe¬
cial service has Congressman
Howard rendered the people
that they should continue him
in this high office and thus pre¬
vent other struggling Georgia
boys from attaining this high
position in life? He has had
this honor fourteen years and
surely he has been genously paid
all the people owe him for what
he has done.
“I, like many other country-
reared boys, have from my boy-
hood days, had a laudable ambi-
tion to go to Congress. It was
the dream of my youth and be¬
lieving that the people have paid
Congressman Howard all that is
due him and are ready to bj-
stow this honor on another, I
have therefore decided to ask
them to allow me to succeed
him. I will in due time meet
the people face to lace and pres¬
ent myself and my claims to
them. So you can say I am in
the race.”—Athens Banner.
