WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 17, 1902. THE GAINESVILLE NEWS COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS ARCHITECT EMPLOYED. OLD PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILD ING- DID' NOT SELL LAST MONDAY. NEW PLANS TO BE DRAWN. . t • The old building of the public schools did not sell at public out cry Monday, for the reason that not enough was offered for it. The highest bid was $410, by Col. H. H. Dean, and it was not considered enough, by the mayor and council, and was rejected. There were only two bidders, Messrs. J. H. Hunt and H. H. D$an. Mr. J . W. Golucke, an Atlanta architect, was given the contract to prepare plans and ppecifications and to superintend the erection of the new building for 2 1-2 per cent of the amount to be expended, or in other words $500 to prepare plans and specifications, and $500 to superintend the erection of the building. The city will also have a man to work in conjunction with the architect, to see that the city is not imposed upou in the erec tion of the builbing. The old buildiug will be torn down right away by the city and the material, or such of it as can be utilized, will be used in the new building. The material will be sold by the city to the man getting the contract to put up the new school house. No plans were submitted to the city Monday for the survey or lay ing out of the sewerage system. This will come up later, but the city does not propose to let this, or the improvement of the streets, lag behind. All the improvements will go along together.

Lover’s Lane, the erstwhile promenade of those over whom the magic wand of Cupid has gently waved, is ub more. It has become a pleasant memory of the past. From a beautiful avenue of Bbady maples and sighing oaks, it has become a busy thoroughfare of commercial life, where is soon to be heard the swish and swir of the electric car, swinging its heavy load of passengers to and from their work. Progress has decreed that love-sick swain and blushing lassie must seek other dells in which to w h l s p e r those soft gentle words which ‘‘melt upon the lip* and honey-dew the air.” And there is sorrow, sincere and deep. For who is it of the native heath that has not trod this path —in recent days or in years agoue ——and listened to that “Sweetest story ever told”? If stones and trees and shaded nooks could speak, what a story they could tell. And who of us would not be made to blush? Anc! who is it that does not hate to see these beautiful trees go? For years thev have been ad mired by home-folks and stran gers alike. Almost perfect m size and symetry, they formed an ave nue that was as pretty as could be. From Dr. Bailey’s corner to Seminary avenue they spread their flowing branches, and the 4 ‘just and unjust” shared alike in the enjoyment of their refreshing shade. But progress, like time and tide, waits for no man, and they had to succumb. Here’s to their memory ! Important To Cotton Ginnrs, Investigate the most complete and efficient ginning svstem on them.

During the past few days we have experienced a touch of real fall weather. The air has been cool and bracing, and. one or two morn ings a fire felt comfortable. All of which reminds us that the busy season is again here, aud the farmer is putting his cotton upou the market. This is the time of year when the wise merchant increases his advertising space, and displays to the public the various waies he has to sell. To reach the largest number of the very best people of HaU coun ty, the wise merchant will use the columns of THE NEWS. We know that our subscription list is clean and select, for we carry no promis cuous dead-heads- none who wiil not pay the editor nor the mer chant. Therefore, those who take this paper are desirable as custom ers, and the merchant who thinks enough of them to ask for their patronage is more than likely to reap the benefit of their trade.
