miiication from this place comes the
i vrs that Ur. Arthur Ernest Kidd, a
reii-hnown architect of that city, haa
aade complete recovery from catarrh of
head from which he had suffered for
barly a quarter of a century. He writes
bom 13 Hamilton ave.:
« I am 42 years of age, and have had
Ltarrh of the head for over half of my
life, as a result of scarlet fever, followed
>v typhoid fever. I got so bad that I
ras almost constantly coughing and
leariag my throat. The catarrh greatly
ipaired my eyesight, and the hearing
one ear, and reduced my weight to
10 pounds.
“I tried nearly every catarrh remedy
Ivextised, Leslies a great many differ
ent physicians’ treatments, all of which
tiled.
‘•I had heard and read of Peruna, and
inally decided to i^ it two months ago.
have now taken seven bottles, and
eigh 172 pounds. Never felt happier
Dr merrier. Feel tip top.”—A. E.KIDD.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
akory results from the use of Peruna,

Wh him the money for

Pensioners now on the rolls

Nothing for Gainesville.

things has prepared a bill which
gII take the place of the Mercer

111 pass the senate in a few days.
8 enate committee has made
cine important changes in the
np asure.Using the Mercer bill as
^ basis, the senate strikes out all
i0 visions for new sites, confining
a Pproprations to projects pro
ved for heretofore and to build-
to which additions shall be
a de. This strikes from the bill

Likewise, ‘‘Mountain Dew,” And Various
And Sundry Industries — A
Great Speech.
At the organization of the
Greater Georgia Association in At
lanta last week, Gainesville was
about to be left without any rep
resentative on the directorate
when Obi. W. F. Findley arose
and made the following speech in
behalf of the Queen City:
“Mr. President: I move to
amend the report by inserting the
name of Gainesville as one of the
places entitled to a director of this
association.
As I understand it, the object
of this association is to aid in the
development of Georgia. A glance
will show that the entire mineral
section of the state iB unrepre
sented, nine of the eleven counties
in the same without railroads, is
within this territory. Gainesville
is the gateway to this undeveloped
country. All the undeveloped wa
ter powers are within its confines.
The forests of hard-wood, almost
untouched, are tributary to us.
The health and summer resorts,
which should be pushed for all
there is in them, are within the
confines of this unrepresented ter
ritory.
We have within the last two
years built two of the largest cot
ton factories within the state The
one at New Holland has 28,0C0
spindles, the other—the Gaines
ville Cotton Mill—15,000 spindles,
and are moving onward.
We have just completed an elec
tric system ot street railways and
lights, and are growing more rap
idly than any other place of simi
lar size in the state.
We are the headquarters of the
gold mining section of Georgia,
and all this magnificent country.
It is here that the distiller
makes that pure mountain dew
that has been undefiled by the
touch of the revenue officer, and
we are the chicken market of the
world.
The supply of eggs is inexhaust-
able. One firm in our city ship
ped two car-loads in a day to New
York. If you will visit us in win
ter we will make you an egg-nog of
this famous “mountain dew” that
will put to shame the little ban
quet to which yon have invited us
tonight, and if you come in sum
mer we’ll furnish you with “mint
juleps” as long as your arnr, and
frozen from ice manufactured at
our own plant.
You may desire to know to
produce the famous“yellow legged”
chicken. I can give you the form
ula: We hatch them in the lofts
of the blockade distilleries instead
of incubators, feed them on sweet
mash, and a few days before they
are to be slaughtered we feed them
on gold nuggets taken from our
mines to give them color, and
we serve them with diamonds for
mushrooms, taken from the quar
ries of flexible sandstone in the
county of Hall.
Just before Roosevelt gave his
last official blow-out, he sent down
for a few coops of this famous
brand of chickens, and whe- they
were served, notwithstanding he
was bom of a Georgia mother, he
did not know the proper way w
use them, and while m no way in
tending to wound the sensibilities
of his white guests, he had to send
around to the Treasury Depart
ment for a Georgia negro to set
the pace in their consumption.”
It is needless to say Col. Find
ley won his point, for before he
finished, Mr. Martin, of Macon, in
behalf of the committee arose and
said: “Since hearing the Gaines
ville rooster crow, we accept his
amendment
Escaped From Jail.
Two prisoners escaped from the
Hall county jail last Friday night.
They were Leonard Fretwell, who
stole 6ome corn from Will Pillow,
and Noah Watson, who stole a bi
cycle from Large & Co., that is to
say, they were in jail charged
with these offenses. How they
got out the jail authorities appear
not to know. They say the two
men climbed out through the top
of the jail. First, they managed
to crawl up through a scuttle-hole
in the ceiling, and from there they
got on top of the jail through a
trap door, or man-hole, in the
roof. Carrying their blankets
with them, they tied them to
gether and let each other safely to
the ground. They were not locked
in cells, being allowed the freedom
of the lobby up stairs. Their es
cape was not detected until Sat
urday morning when the jailer
went up stairs to feed the prison
ers.
Remodeling System.
The Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph Co. put twenty
men to work here last Friday
morning remodeling the telephone
system in Gainesville. They
will put in 4300 feet of new cable,
new posts and new ’phones equip
ped with metallic circuits and
lightning arresters. When fin
ished, there will not be a better
system anywhere. The old
“grinding” system of getting con
nection will be discontinued, as
was told in these columns some
weeks ago, the only work neces
sary now is to take down the re
ceiver, ask for your number, have
your conversation, hang up the re
ceiver and connection is automat
ically cut off. It will take about
forty-five days to complete the
work now under way.
Both Treaties Must Be Ratified.
President Roosevelt will call an
extraordinary session of the senate
of the 58fch congress unless both
the Panama and the Cuban reci
procity treaties are ratified at the
present session.
The president made the declara
tion of his intention to several
senators and he made it emphati
cally and unequivocally as he is
capable of making it.
It is deemed likely by officials of
the administration and by many
senators that both treaties will be
ratified before March 4, but the
necessity for an early ratification
is regarded by the president as so
urgent that m the event of the fai
lure of either one, or both, at the
present session, he will issue imme
diately hia call for an extra session.
He said there are grave reasons of
state why both treaties should be
ratified as soon as possible.
Premiums For County Exhibits.
The State Fair to be held in
Macon this fall promises to be
the best held m many years,
and it would not be a bad idea
for some good Hall county farm
er to step down and win the first
prize. Neither would it be amiss
for the good old couDty of Hall to
have an exhibit of her wonderful
resources. We have started this
“Greater” advertising business,
why not let “Greater Hall” take
off the premiums at the State
Fair. She can do it if the matter
is taken hold of in the right way,
and we hope to see the matter
pushed.
Here is a list of the premiums:
For the best county agricultural dis
play, $1,500.
For the second best county agricul
tural display, $1,200,^
For the third best county agricultu
ral display, $900.
For the noxt hve best county dis
plays, $200 each, or $1000.
For the second best five county dis
plays, $100 each, or $500.
Best individual agricultural display,
$300. *
Next best individual county display,
$150.
Third best individual county display,
$100.
Next best one-horse farm display,
$100.
Next best one-horse farm display,
$50.
Money For Teachers.
County school commissioner
Robertson received last Thursday
morning the money for the first
installment of teachers’ pay, and
since that date he has been busy
paying out the same. Most of
the teachers have gotten their sti
pend and are feeling better over
the part they have to do in teach
ing the “young idea how to
shoot.”
Special Series Of Sermons.
Dr. J. A. Wynne commenced a
special series of sermons at the
First Baptist church last Sunday
night to the unconverted. He is
making a special appeal to them
and showing them the error of
their way. He is being assisted
in this work by those members ot
the church who are deeply inter
ested in the saving of souls.
Col. H. H. Dean has been ap
pointed by President Orr, of the
Greater Georgia association, a
member of the executive commit
tee of that body. Col S. C. Dun
lap was appointed one of the vice-
presidents of the association at
the organization.
See what W. J. & E. C. Pal-
mour have to say in their ad. to
the trade. They are making the
last great clearance sale of the
season, and it will be to your in
terest to visit their store before
all their seasonable bargains are
gone.
The new ads. of the New Har
ness Store should be perused with
profit by readers of this paper.

LATEST FASHION NOTES.
A PRETTY SHORT COAT.
This very novel coat is suitable
for either velvet or peau de soie,
and recalls some of the portraits
of earlier days. The deep collar,
which may be almost called a
cape, is edged with Vandyke-point
ed Irish crochet lace, and the coat
which is here made of velvet is or
namented with straps of peau de
soie stitched with Corticelli stitch*
ing silk, and is further decorated
by small buttons and dainty bow-
knots.
The yoke jacket, recalling the
Norfolk, returns to us with a few
modifications, or rather one modi
fication, and that the loose front*
The yoke and the plait effect re
mains. the plaits in this instance
being simulated and on the fronts
reaching to the belt, while in back
the plait-shaped piece is very wide
where it joins the yoke, then nar
rows to the waist . and widens a
trifle again on the basque. The
yoke is cut with points and
adorned with buttons in front,
similar buttons apparently fasten
ing the belt on either side of the
front. The revers, collar, and
cuffs are of plaid cloth.
Miss Etta Mae Hynds Burned.
While standing before the fire
just before retiring Thursday
night last, Miss Etta Mae Hynds*
gown caught fire from the flames
in the grate and in a few moments
she was pretty badly burned, her
limbs bemg blistered from the ex
treme heat. She has suffered con
siderably since, but it is hoped
that she will entirely recover in a
few days. Medical attention was
at once given her, but she has
been confined to her bed from the
effects of the burns.
A Ten Ton Plant.
The capacity of the ice factory
will be increased to ten ton6 a
day, and the capital stock has
also been increased to $10,000. A
number of new stockholders were
admitted to the company at a
meeting held last Friday night,
and in a few days the contract
will be let for overhauling and re
pairing the plant. It will be put
in first-class shape, and no doubt
the enterprise will be even more
successful in the future than it
has been in the past. There will
be no change in the management
of the enterprise*
