AN ENJOYABLE DANCE-
PROF. TALFOURD SMITH.
In 1887 Srunett Y. Tiffany, son
of Charles L. Tiffany of New York,
married Bertha Pierson, a pretty
little sewing girl. The marriage
was against the will of the young
man’s farther. When the Jate
Charles L. Tiffany’s will was read
the other day it was learned that
he had reduced Burnett’s mheri-
taece by $2,000,000 on account of
his marriage. JBut that was not all
the young man lost. Eleven days
after^ their marriage his bride left
him, never to return. Two million
dollars for a honeymoon of eleven
days seems a rather steep price.—-*
At its trial trip the other day
the torpedo boat Chauncey made
the speed of twenty-seven knots an

plain just here that the boat Was
not named in honor of Chauncey

Chauncey, who died in 1871.

The War Department has been

Yan Schaick, of the Twenty-
seventh Infantry, who broke his
engagement to marry a young wo
man of Altamont, N. Y., last
May. The Lieutenant gave his
reason that -he wanted ta go to
the Philippines and fight the Moros
that tribe having shown hostility
to the United States forces. He
thought it his duty, he said to
fight the battle of his country ra
ther than to marry his fiancee.
It is thought in Washington that
the War Department “will not
take any action in the matter.”

To relieve th« supreme court of

The new novels “A Speckled

Evans Wilson after a silence of
many years, is praised by north

style ot this celebrated writer is
more welcome since the romantic
renaissance of the past few years
than it was when the apostles of
realism entirely dominated.

“PE-RU'NA necessary
TO THE HOME,”
Prof. Talfourd Smith, of Georgia.]
Professor Talfourd Smith, Principal
giloam High School, Siloam, Ga., writes:
“With much pleasure I recommend
perima to all who may be suffering with
iBV trouble of the respiratory organs.
I have been using it in my family for
the past five or six years and find it to
almost a household necessity. Peru* *
n& is truly a grand catarrh remedy and
general tonic and will do all that is
chimed for it by the manufacturers,"
-.PROF. TALFOURD SMITH. v
Catarrh is inflammation of the mucous
membrane. It may be in the mucous
membrane lining the eyes or the pelvic
organs, throat, stomach, liver, bowels or
bdneys.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Perana cures catarrh wherever located.
Perima is an internal remedy; not a
local application.
Catarrh is a systemic disease, not a
local disease. If Peruna will cure catarrh
in one place it will cure it in any other
place, because Peruna is a systemic rem
edy. It reaches the disease through the
circulation in each organ. It eradicates
the disease by eradicating it from the
system.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
Ml statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give yon his valuable ad
vice gratis.

CHESTNUT MOUNTAIN.
The refreshment has come, and
the people of this comipunity are
rejoiced to see it.
The school here, under the man
agement of Prof. W. N. Oliver,
closed Friday, Aug 22.
Mr. W. W. Luther visited his
brother, Mr. A. W. Luther, put
near the Chattahoochee river last
Friday night.
Revs. Blackwell and Simpson
closed a series of meetings here at
the Presbyterian church last week.
Rev. D. S. McCurry commenced
a series of meetings at the Baptist
church last Sunday night. We
hope to have a good meeting.
Mr. Mose Cooper has been

Thompson base ball team came
up to Chestnut Mountain and
crossed bats with* the boys. At
the close of the game the score

George Olbon, against whom a
warrant had been issued for mali
ciously setting fire to the residence
of Doc Clark, was caught Friday
morning near Black Creek by
Clark himself and turned over to
Chief of Police Parks, who was
just a tew yards behind. Clbon
is now lodged in- jail here, and
will no doubt be tried for arson
in the next term of the Superior
Court.
Clark lives on Railroad Ave,
near the Gainesville Cotton Mill;
he and Olbon are brothers-in-law
and there had been family troub
les existing between them for
some time. Olbon had been in
court more than once for beating
his wife, and it was through
Clark's efforts that, they were sep-
erated.
About 12 o’clock Thursday
night Clark discovered his house
to bo in flames. A good deal of
woodwasunder the kitchen, and
tothis the torch had been applied.
Olbon was at once suspicioned on
account ot Boine threats he had
made to Clark, and on account al
so, of a previous effort, so Clark
said, to burn the house. He was
soon located, chased down, and
arrested.
Clbon is a man of rather law
less character; there are other
cases against him, and he is wan
ted in Hart county* where he came
from, for crimes committed there
two years ago.
Mrs. M. J. Merritt Dies.
Mrs. M, J. Merritt died at 3:15

on Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock,
the services being* in charge
of Rev. JjU-jS. McCurry. The
pall bearers were Messrs G. D.
Lay, W, B. Smith, J. S, Allen,
H. V. Johnson, George Lathom,

Mrs. Merritt leaves four children,
Mrs, C. H.JBell Gainesville, Mrs,

A Yery pleasant affair, and one
that was enjoyed by a large num
ber of young people was the in
formal dance that was given at
the Armory last Friday evening.
This will probablybe the last dance
to be given at the Armory this sea-
son, and those present on this oc
casion seemed determined to make
it the most enjoyable one also,
and they all seemed to wish tjiat
the summer season was just be
ginning, instead of coming to a
close.
