Col. Howard Thompson has about
recovered from his recent illness.
The body of Wiley F. Tanner,
who died from alleged poisoning
May 28rd., was last Friday ex
humed by Drs. Mauldin of Flowery
Branch, and Kennedy of Bell-
mont, and his liver, kidneys and
bladder were removed and sent to
State Chemist McCandless for
analysis. The body was exhumed
on an order from Judge Kimsey,
and the vessels of the body were
taken up in order to ascertain if
they contained any evidences of
strychnine.
Last Wednesday afternoon,
Jndge Kimsey heard the applica
tion of Mrs. Tanner for bail. He
declined to grant bail for the rea
son that the regular term of court
is near at hand, and because of
the gravity of the charge against
the young woman. Mrs. Tanner
will, therefore, be kept in the liv
ing apartment of the county jail
until the regular July term of the
court.

Childrens Day Services.
Last Sunday was a red letter
day in the history of the Method
ist Sunday school at New Holland.
At 8 o’clock in the afternoon a
large audience assembled to wit
ness the exercises. A most inter
esting program was arranged, and
it was rendered faultlessly. The
church building was beautifully
decorated in flowers and flags, and
every arrangement was perfect.
Mr. D. Schofield, the superin
tendent, was master of ceremo
nies, and he presided with dignity
and grace. The music-including
solos, duets, quartettes, choruses,
etc.,-was splendid, and the recita
tions were fine, every one acquit
ting themselves nicely. We would
be glad to produce the program in
full, but it’s length precludes it’s
publication.
A collection was taken up for
the relief fund, amounting to
$7.38, and this has been turned
into the treasury. To everybody
taking part in the entertainment
thanks are due.
A number of Gainesville people went
on the excursion to Atlanta last Sat
urday.
Mr. Victor M. Montgomery spent
last Thursday night and Friday in the
city on a visit to the Pacolet and
Gainesville Cotton Mills.
Mr. Bob Majors was in town Satur
day and reports that he has the finest
wheat of any man in his section. He
will make about five hundred bushels.
A number of people went to New
Holland last Sunday afternoon to at
tend the Children’s Bay services given
by the Methodist Sunday school of that
place.
Lathem & Son have installed a two-
horse motor in their market, and now
run their sausage mill and fans with
electricity. They are well pleased with
the motor.
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Jaquish have gone
to Chicago, the former on a business
errand, and the latter to visit home-
folks. Mr. Jaquish will return in a few
days.
Rev. J. D. Lovejoy, col., has gone
actively to work to rebuild the M. E.
church, of which he is pastor. It will
take between $1500 and $2000 to replace
the building.
Miss Annie Candler, a beautiful and
highly attractive young lady from
Gainesville, will arrive in the city Sun
day and spend some time with her
friend, Miss lone Murphey.—Barnes-
ville News-Gazette.
Judge J. J. Kimsey’s decision in the
G. J. & S. Railroad case was widely
read, the daily press having given it
wide publicity. The News, as usual,
scooped the country on it, having given
it to the people first.
Mr. J. M. Hubbard is now in the
brick business, having leased from
Dunlap & Thomas the plant of what
was formerly the Gainesville Brick Co.
Mr. Hubbard is an energetic hustler
and is sure of success in his new enter
prise.
Miss Nannie Mae Shipp, an attrac
tive and handsome young lady from
Gainesville, is spending sometime here
as the guest of her friend, Miss lone
Murphey. She has been a visitor here
before and is pleasantly remembered.—

Your Sack Suit
Is really the most important one in
your wardrobe. It must stand harder
wear than any other—it is probably
seen by more people, and your per
sonal appearance frequently has
much to do with your success in busi
ness transactions.
1 hat is why we have devoted so
much more space in our store to Sack
Suits than usual this Season.
Our assortment is far greater,
both for fabric patterns, styles, shapes
and sizes. You can have the single
breasted three or four-buttoned Sack
—you can have the double-breasted
Coat in several styles and you can
haye black or blue Serge, black
Worsted or black or blue Cheviot or
the choice of an immense assortment
of fancy Woolens and Worsteds.
Our prices range as low as $10 and
up to $20, but in the middle prices,
$12, $19 AND $18,
we have by far the largest assort
ment and also a range of higher val
ues. If any of these Suits were made-
to-your-measure they would cost at least double what we charge. j

Doctrinal Institute.
A doctrinal institute is being
conducted at the First Methodist
church this week. Last Sunday
morning, Dr. W. L. Pierce, the
presiding elder of the Gainesville
district, preached a sermon on
Baptism, following it on Monday
morning at K> o’clock with an
other doctrinal sermon. Revs.
Carey and McBrayer, both strong
Methodist ministers, have done
the preaching since Monday morn
ing. The institute has been well
attended, and Methodists have
been greatly enlightened on the
doctrines of the church.
There was no preaching at either the
First Baptist or the Presbyterian
churches last Sunday, the pastor of the
former being ill, and the pastor of the
latter being out of the city. Dr. VVi L.
Pierce preached at the First Methodist
church, where a large congregation
worshipped.
Many people have wondered why
Booker T. Washington never responded
to the appeal of the colored people for
aid. In justice to him it should be
stated that he sent his personal check
for $15. So far as known, he never se
cured anything from his Northern
friends for the colored people of
Gainesville.
Mr. W. B. Smith’s Houb© Bums.
The home of Mr. W. B. Smith, on
West Oak Street, was discovered to be
on fire last Sunday morning at an early
hour. Tne fire department
promptly,
responded
and saved the building from
destruction, though it was bably burn
ed, and much of the furniture, cloth
ing. etc., of the family was destroyed.
Mr. Smith’s house was insured for $600
and his furniture for $'300, thereby
protecting him from any loss save a
very small one.
Mr. T. P, Hudson has returned from
Athens, where he attended the com
mencement of the University. His son,
Leo, was one of the speakers at the
commencement, and his address was
complimented very highly, ex-Chief
Justice Logan E. Bleckley remarking
that it was one of the finest he ever
heard.
Senator H. H. Perry, Representatives
J. L. Thompson and B. A. Rogers went
to Atlanta this morning to attend the
summer session of the Georgia Legisla

to introduce at this session. Senator
Perry stands in the very forefront, of
the legislators, and is regarded as one
of the soundest members of the law
making body.
Mr. T. P. Waller, the clever and pop
ular representatives of the McCormick
Harvesting Machinery Co., returned
last Friday from a week’s trip to At
lanta, where he was a guest of the
“big bugs” of the concern.
