HAD A FEARFUL FALL.
Jerome Martin Fell Fifty-three Feet From
A DerriCK at Chattahoochee Dam
[Monday Morning.—May Die.
Jerome Martin, a young white man
employed on, the works of the Gaines
ville & Dahlonega Electric Railway
Co., at the power dam at the Dunlap
shoals on the Chattahoochee river, fell
fifty-three feet from the top of a der
rick into three feet of water, at 6
o’clock Monday morning, and sustained
serious injuries.
Martin was on the derrick, and a
drift, or raft, floating down the river,
struck the guy rope, causing it to
break, and precipitating him into the
river below. His ankle was fractured
bv the fall, and he was given such a
shock as to render him unconscious.
Whether or not he is internally injured
could not be ascertained upon first ex
amination by Dr. K. A. Smith, who
was sent for as soon as the accident
happened, and, as yet, no alarming
symptoms of internal hurts have ap
peared.
Martin’s escape from instant death
was probably averted by falling into
three feet of water. The river was
high Monday morning, and the water
Martin fell into broke the force of his
fall. He has been employed on the
works for sometime, and is an excel
lent young workman. After the acci-
dem, he was removed to his home, and
has been given every attention.
New Spring and a Good One.
Mr. T. J. Magner, representing the
Shuler Spring Co., of Amsterdam, N.Y.,
was here Monday and sold the agency
to the Bagwell & Gower M’f’g., Co.
He is traveling from New York to Flor
ida with a horse and buggy, the latter
being equipped with the patent spring
fie sells. While here Mr. Magner car
ried a number of people to ride, and all
expressed themselves as pleased with
the spring. Acting as an equalizer the
spring destroys vibration and keeps
the body level, this being the special
usefulness of the center bearing which
allows the spring to turn with the mo
tion of the body. It rides easy over
any road, and is certainly one of the
best inventions of recent times. Those
who desire to see the spring can do so
by calling on the Bagwell & Gower
M’f’g. Co. who will handle them here.
‘ LET THERE BE MORE LIGHT,’

Property Owners Must Curb,

In the Mayor’s court Monday after
noon, Mayor Parker put a find of $50
and costs on Walter Thomas, and a
fine of $1 and costs on Bob Hope, for
fighting at Bob Hope’s livery stable
last Friday. They were alleged to
have had a dispute over an account
when the lie and other opprobrious
epithets were passed, and Walter
Thomas knocked Bob in the head with
a monkey wrench. Thomas will ap
peal to council. Colonel W. B. Sloan
represented Thomas, and Alderman
Howard Thompson represented Hope.
Meetings Have Closed.
m
Mrs. R. Burnett returned home Sun
day from Winchester, Ky., where she
has been for several weeks with her
daughter, Mrs. W. A. Nortbcutt, who
has been ill.
The meetings which have been
progress at the Presbyterian church in
Gainesville for one week, came to a
close last Sunday night. Dr. Edward
Guerrant, who conducted the meetings,
met with much success, a number of
persons having professed religion and
joined that church. Dr. Guerrant is
an earnest and eloquent preacher, and
his coming to Gainesville was produc
tive of much good.

The readers of The News are
specially requested to read the big
advertisement of the G. P. Tur
ner Co. m this issue. Mr. Turner
has just returned from the East
ern markets, where he bought the
cream of the* season
latest and most .^up-to-date
stuff for hisj big depart
ment store. It is not idle talk to
say that no establishment in
Gainesville ever had a better stock
of goods, or one better suited to
the needs and tastes of the shop
pars. From the little odds and
ends in the notion department to
the finest dress goods, places anc
lingerie in the dry goods depart
ment, as well "as clothing,
gents* furnishings, Walk-Over
shoes, etc. for men and boys, and
the latest millinery for the fas
tidious feminine shopper, every
thing is complete. Do not fail to
see and read every line of Turner’s
big ad., there are many things of
interest to the buying public to be
found therein which no one can
afford to miss.

minister and educator, will preach at

well, will preach from the subject:
“The Light Burden.” "
Musical Director S. G. Jones and his
excellent choir, together with the con

New Millinery
Department. «••••••
O UR Millinery Department will be new this season
because we are adding so much to it. Hereto
fore we only carried ready-to-wear goods, now we
have everything that goes to make up a full up-to-
date millinery establishment.
Having secured the services of Miss Lou West,
who conducted the millinery business of the J. K.
Murphy Co. for the past few years, and her sister,
Miss Fannie West and Miss Karl Murphy, we are
now ready to wait upon our customers and show them
as pretty a line of millinery as was ever shown in
Gainesville.
Miss West has just returned from the Eastern
markets, where she visited the largest millinery estab
lishments in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York,
with full instructions to buy the best, the nicest, the
most up-to-date tning in millinery she could find. A
visit to our show rooms will prove that Miss West has
done this.
M And Now Remember
-
lit Our puces will not be millinery store prices, they will
be dry goods store prices. We can sell you the nicest
f j goods cheaper than you can buy them at a regular
millinery store. We guarantee to save you from 15
25 per cent on all purchases.
.'it;
The Gainesville mill is being repaired
with new shafting in the spinning

dinner, we were driven by liveryman

Mr. Robert Loudermilk, where we
spent a short time, going thence to
Mt. Airy and back to Cornelia, where
we were joined by Mrs. L- C. Louder
milk, who had been visiting her sister,
Mrs. Joe Black and family, near
Clarkesville. A good supper awaited

chat with his “Ducky.”

The Chattahoochee river was boom
ing Monday, and by late in the after
noon it had reached the highest mkrk
for many years. Early Monday morn
ing it was impossible to pass over the
Thompson's bridge, as well as other
bridges along the river. Bottoms have
been overflowed and it will take many
weeks of dry weather to get them in
shape for cultivation.
