Gainesville, Ga., Jan. 28, 1903.
JANUARY 24TH, 1903.
The above date is an important
one in the history of Gainesville.
Id future years the older citizen
will often recant to the young
that on the twenty-fourth day of
January 1903, the first electric car
was Tun over the streets of the
Queen City, and from that lime
on the city made more rapid pro
gress than ever before.
The installation of the electric
system means more than many of
us imagine. With cheap power,
good lights, the convenience of
electcic transportation, and the
probable utilization of our hereto
fore undisturbed river water for
heating purposes, we have advant
ages unsurpassed by most other
municipalities, and which place
us far above them all m being
able to offer inducements to man*
facturing and other industries,
which are sure to come to us.
Many of our citizens do not now
realize our importance, nor our
prospects for the future. We have
been silently sitting by and let
ting outsiders come here and take
advantage of our slothfulness and
making use of our most valuable
asset. That is all right. They
have the enterprise and the nerve
to tackle these things, and they
are doing more for us than we
have done for ourselves. They
are opening up avenues for getting
valuable enterprises, and are do
ing other things for us that will
make our town grow and prosper.
We welcome them, and wish for
them abundant success in their
undertakings. They ought to suc
ceed and they will.

Electric Street Oar New to Them.
Starling Bruce was here from Daw
son county this week aDd observed the
new electric cars whirling over the
streets without any apparent means of
locomotion. He gazed at them awhile
and then soliloquized: “That’s the
first dura waggin I ever saw pushed
lalong with a fishin’ pole.”
*
* *
| They were from Lumpkin county,
jthe home of Col. “Bill” Charters, and
I were standing on the street near Mr
Hiram Smith’s. The mayor and council,
street railway officials and other citizens
were being whirled over the city on the
initial trip of the new electric cars.
From the Southern depot to town was
the work of only a few moments* The
ear was “off agin, on agin, gone agin
Ftanigin,” before the Lumpkin county -
ites knew what was up. “Whar’d that
’ar thing cum frum?” asked one, of a
passer-by. “Down at the Southern
depot,” was the reply. “Goshermifcy,
they must hev giv her a devil uv a
shuv,” and he walked on toward the
wagon yard.
***
Col. Delos E. Evans is known far
and wide, especially to the unwary
tourist seeking health or pleasure in
the Queen City, or its tributary terri
tory. For years he operated the famous
“Evans’ street car line” in this city. If
you ever had to resort to that means of
transportation you know something of
the trials and perplexities of life. But,
we are digressing. Col. Evans was
the special guest of honor upon the
occasion of the electric car’s first trip
over the city last Saturday afternoon.
It is said that the car had not gotten
twenty yards from the depot before Col.
Evans arose, through force of habit,
and asked for help to get the car hack
on the track. Also, upon being assured
that he was mistaken—that be was now
upon the electric Poe—he then, also
through force of habit, commenced to
try to take up fare, and again had to
be reminded that ' ‘Evans’ street car
line” had passed out of existence, anc.
had been superceded by the modern
and up-to-date electric cars of the
North Georgia Electric Co.

Senate bill 909 provides for the
extension of free mail delivery
to all towns and cities where the
postoffice receipts are $5,000 or
more or the population is 5,000 or
more. Gainesville is, of course,
in this class.

Nothing benefits my children more

Congressman Tate can do his
constituents a great favor by
pushing this matter forward, and
he must know that the people of
Gainesville are watching him in
this matter. He owes it to them
to help them in this matter, and
we believe he should be consider
ate enough of them to give them
assistance at this time.

Special Term Superior Court Called
for Fifth Wednesday April.
Hall Superior Court—January term,
1903:
There being a certain case pending
in this court, to wit: Julius M. Alex
ander et. al. vs. the G. J. & S. Railroad
Company et. al.—consolidated cases in
equity in said court—which cannot be
disposed of at present because of the
fact that there are so many attorneys
and parties connected therewith, and
because the attorneys have to attend
court at other places at this time etc.;
it is therefore ordered by the court
that when this court does adjourn it
will adjourn, or take a recess, until the
29th day of April, 1903, at 9 o’clock a.
m., for the purpose of trying said case
and all other business that may come
before said court, the said case named
is hereby set for trial first, before any
other business is taken up.
This the 27th day of January, 1903.

“The Rev. Sam Jones, of Geor
gia,” notes the Philadelphia Press,
“is of the opinion that the coun
try has not reached the crest of
prosperity’s wave. Mr. Jones has
gained some reputation as a fixer
of'altitudes. Hie declaration that
some men’s prayers go about aB
high as they can expectorate came
pretty near the truth. It is to be
hoped that he is as near the mark
about prosperity as he was about
prayers.”
“Pat Me Off At Turners.”
The street car conductors are al
ready becoming accustomed to this re
quest: “Put me off at Turner’s.” The
reason for this is apparent to all: Tur
ner is selling great bargains these
days, and the people are taking ad
vantage of this great stock reducing
sale, to buy what they need at such
low prices. The company has just
moved into new quarters—the stand
formerly occupied by the J. E. Murphy
Co.—and a cordial invitation is extend
ed everybody to call and see them in
their new home. Read the advertise
ment of their offerings elsewhere in
