GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1902 TOM WATSON’S LECTURE WHAT THE LEGISLATURE DID Col. G. C. Mathews, the veteran newspaper :> correspondent, now with the Macon Telegraph,review ing the work of the last session of the legislature, says: With some experience with leg islative bodies, it seems to me that the present general assembly has a good deal to its credit. I say this for the reason that I have found upon the last day conges tion only as to local legislation. The solons have covered a very considerable tract of ground in the matter of general legislation, and they have fifty days to spare. For example : They have established the sum mer session. They have passed the public franchise act-a measure that might well have worried an ordin ary body two sessions—and then tailed. They have refused to adopt the principle of annual instead of bien nial appropriations—thus contin uing the old system. This issue was a highly important one as af fecting the progressof legislative business during two terms. They have assented to the ap propriation of the public property fund to the payment of the state debt. They have increased only slight ly the appropriations for educat- fcion and pensions. They have arranged for the re pair ot the eapitol. They have abolished the special attorney of the Westeren and At lantic railroad. There arp some things hanging over for next session. The bill* to appropriate money for a Georgia exhibit at the Louisana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis will, I hear, probably be acted upon m time to give the state representa tions Senator Jordan is not dis couraged by the fact that his bill to establish agriculture experi ment stations m each congression al district lies upoD the table. He is confident it will betaken up and approved at the next gathering of the legislators.’ * LATEST FASHION NOTES, jWO STATE SENATORS endorse pe-ru-na.

" Hon. Thomas E. Watson lectur ed here last Thursday night un der the auspices of the Masons. He was heard by a large and at tentive audience. Mr. Watson’s lecture on “The South” is a very fine one, and he dearly shows where this section has repeatedly suffered at the hands of the histor ian. Mr. Watson brmgs out in his lecture many points showing the South has always stood fore most in all matters pertaining to the advancement of the govern ment, from the earliest up to the present day. No svnopsis of his lecture would do it justice, suffice it to say, it is a very fine one. “We 6we it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations ex isting bitween the United States and those powers (any European power) to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dan gerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or de? pendencies of any European .power we have not interfered and shall not interfere. But with the gov ernments which have declared their independence and maintain ed it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, acknowledged, we could not view anv interposi tion, for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling them in any other manner than their destiny, by any European power in any other light than as the manifesta tion of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States.”-— From the message to congress of President Monroe on December 2, 1828. HON. J. H. BAUER. Hon. J. H. Sauer, State Senator from Douglas Co., to the Nebraska Legis lature, writes from Frank’s Hotel, Omaha, Neb., as fellows: "Having tried Peruna I can com mend It to ail as a great tonic and par ticularly good as a remedy for catarrh. ” ...J. H. SAUER. Honorable Patrick. Kennedy, Member 0 {+he M Mtffccbusetta Legislature, writes the following letter from the House of Representatives, Boston. Doctor S, B. Hartman: Dear Sir:—‘ ( I have no hesitation in taying that after having tried dozens of other remedies without relief , I owe my perfect health and clear voice oi today to Peruna. I know it to be a sure cure for indigestion and its attendant afflio tion, nervous debility. For the six weeks that I was on the platform through the recent campaign I used Pe- luna regularly, and although I spoke two and three times each day my voice never failed me. I know that Peruna ia a reliable cure for bronchial troubles.”— P. J. Kennedy. If you do not derive prompt and & a tie- factory results from the use of Peruna. write at once to Dr. Kertman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O Glenn Will Assist Dr. Curry. State School Commissioner G. R Glenn has been appointed as sistant to Dr. J. L. M. Curry, of Washington D. C. who has charge ot disbursing the Peabody educa tional fund in the south. The du ties of Mr. Glenn, it is said will be to visit the schools m the south and make recomendatioris to Dr. Curry and to assist him in his work. This Closes The List. Governor Terrell’s total staff consists of 138 lieutenant colonels and aides-de-camp, thirty-three of them having been appointed since the original hundred were named.' The governor has made ten ad ditional appointments and besides has reappointed twenty-three of the seventy-five colonels on Gov, Candler’s staff. Certain members of Governor Candler’s staff were anxious for reappointment, and upon their folicitation or. that of friends, Governor Terrell reap pointed the members stated. But bejtt understood that this ends the matter. The governor has signed the new military bill, and this measure limits the gov ernor’s staff to twenty-eight mem bers. While it specifically exempts from its operation the staff of the present governor so far as consti tuted it prevents Jan y futher ap pointments being made, and Gov ernor Terrell’s staff will have to stop at 133 members. If any of them do not have the necessary uniforms by next April their com mission will be revoked for the governor will in January issue an order that all colonels who haye not properly uniformed them selves will no longer be colonels. Eden-Veal. Mr. Thomas Eden and Miss Terie Armannthe Veal were mar ried Sunday, 14th inst. by Rev. J. C. Forrester* near Macedonia. The young people ran away fand were married. The groom is & son of “Uncle” John Eden, and the bride is a daughter of clever Jake Veal. Both have many friends who wish for them every happi ness in life. All shades of red are m vogue, from the blushing cherry tints, to the richer darker shades ranging from dahlia to wine, mahogany* claret and cedar. For the house there is nothing more- charming than a red gown, relieved with a touch of black and white on the wrist. The skirt could be plait ed, with a generous sweep, and ft similar embellishment displayed in the waist and voluminous sleeves. Red hats covered with shaded dahlias, or scarlet* petaled roses, are smart, and ball and dinner gowns of geranium-colored crepe have almost deposed the pinks and blues. Dr. J. Q- Burton Removes to Gainesville. Dr. J. Q. Burton and family left the city Wednesday for Gainesville, their future home. This city and county loses a good citizen m Dr. Burton and many friends here regret his de parture. Dr. Burton is a genial, honorable gentleman and a repu table physician and deserves suc cess wherever he casts his lot in life. He will at once begin the practice of medicine m Gainesville and the -Tribune joins his Walton county friends in wishing him an abundant measure of success.— Walton Tribune. v Miss Clyde Manning visited At lanta this week.

Mr. Garnet Quillian spent Sat- ui'day and Sunday with his par- sntB here. He will spend the re mainder of his vacation visiting m Gartereville before returning to Where Advertising Pays, The Atlanta papers are always talk* mg about which paper is the best ad vertismg medium, hut it remains for the Gainesville News to eclipse them all. Last week Col. Findley gave us a notice advertising for his dog that had been lost or stolen. The notice was duly set up, but before we could get it m the forms the man who had the dog in charge got a whiff of it and prompt ly notified the owner. Therefore, an ad in The News acts like magic—as soon as it begins to be put in type it be gins to work—the bargain hunters be gin to sniff the air, and before you know it, yonr dog is found, or your goods are sold, whichever it may be* Moral: Advertise m the News. Had $340,000 Life Insurance, Louisville, Ky., Dec. 18—It de veloped today that R.

W. J. BRYAN. It will be gratifying to the friends of Col. William J. Bryan to know he finds the newspaper business profitable. He has re cently moved into a new home which cost $20,000. The Common er is now said to be firmly estab lished, with a circulation exceed ing 100,000- It is estimated that Colonel Bryan’s income from his paper is close to $50,000 a year, but he lives modestly and sim- Chattanooga, Dec. 19.—A South ern railway mail car burned here this morning. The loss is $8000. The car was badly damaged and the mail equipment is a total loss. It caught from a lamp. Marion countv, states that the Bank of Mullins was burglarized about 3 o’clock this morning and $5,000 stolen. All external evidences, go to prove that the work was done by professional cracksmen. After blowing open the vault door, it was necessary to demolish a safe on the inside, which was success fully done. Rural School Libraries. Twenty-nine states of the union are aDpropriating money every year for the support of the rural school library; nine Southern States—Alabama, Arkansas, Geor gia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennesee, West Virginia and Virginia—arid Arizona, Wash ington and Nevada are doing noth ing. It is in the schools of the North and West that the $2,000,- 000 is being spent for books while our boys and girls are starving for that literary food that it is their right to have.—Joseph S. Stewart, in the Alkahest. It does not seem to ns that the legis lature has much r ason to congratul ate itself upon its work for its first session, because it has arranged to have fjhree sessions, instead of two* It was hoped it would see its way clear to submitting to the people a constitutional amendment providing biennial sessions. They would ap prove sueh an amendment. We don’t know exactly what the cost of a ses sion is, but it must be a good many thousands of dollars. The state could get along, as most of the other states do, with one session in two years. Georgia is now going to give three ses sion in two years a trial first however. —Savannah News.
