[he people of Gainesville met
special Thanksgiving service
e auditorium Sunday after-
at 4 o’clock to formally
up the relief work, and to
praise to the Almighty for
mercies, and to everybody
had in any way contributed
e relief of the storm stricken
ict. A large number of peo-
rere present, and the occasion
i most interesting one.
eembled on the stage were
or Parker, and members of
eneral Relief Committee, the
siers of the city, Dr. Vieans-
Atlanta, local and visiting
dans, the members of the
s and the choirs of the differ-
churches of the city. Occu-
g seats immediately in front
the trained nurses who had
i service at the city and New
laud hospitals.
he services opened with the
n “Come Thou Almighty
after which Dr. T. M. Me-
uell led in prayer. Mayor
Parker, chairman of the
ral relief committee, read his
rt covering in detail the work
® by the committee, in which
embodied the report of the
pkians in charge of the hospi-
since the storm.
ymn, “Holy, Holy!” was ren-
by the choir, after which
luillian made a short talk ex-
re of the great thankfulness
e ueople to those who had re
ded to Gainesville’s call for

d in a talk in which he dwelt
t Qe lessons to be learned

a nds of God, upon the fate-

iU teresting episode occurred
Juncture. Hon. Howard
&P50d } who is chairman of
j mmittee on hospitals, arose,
Messing the trained nurses,
lUfcm to step forward, at
°ae making a pretty
speech, which he closed by
P tin * to them a handsome
of flowers donated to
Mrs. I,. R. Hudson, one of the
nurses, arose and stated that she
IJ desired to correct a mistake, say
ing that the flowers were presented
to Mr. and Mrs. Thompson by the
nurses of the New Holland hospi
tal id token of their appreciation
of the kindness and courtesy of
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson to them.
Col. Thompson arose and, thank
ing the nurses, asked them to ac
cept the flowers as a gift from
Mrs. Thompson and himself.
Dr. Yisanski, of Atlauta, in
speaking of the treatment of the
injured, and the manner in which
the people of Gainesville have
handled the relief work, said: “It
is remarkable! Ido not believe
that the injured could have re
ceived better treatment in the hos
pitals of New York, or other large
cities. They have been so careful
and painstaking that they have
saved from death many whom it
seemed impossible to restore to
health. Drs. George F. Chambers
and John G. Wilkins of Atlanta,
J. H. Downey of New Holland,
and Latimer Rudolph, of Gaines
ville, who have done the hospital
work for sometime past, deserve
special praise. And the nurses, I
don’t know how to begin to praise
them, they have done so much.
It the people of the country could
see what has been accomplished
under such trying circumstances,
they would marvel at it.”
“I find conditions here most
satisfactory in every way. Mayor
Parker’s report shows the work to
be well in hand, and a personal
inspection of the hospitals reveals
a gratifying situation. The in
jured have had, as I have said, the
very best treatment, and are well
on the way to recovery. The way
your people have rendered relief
to the sufferers, and have provided
homes for those whose houses were
destroyed, meets with the appro
bation, I am sure, of .every con
tributor to the relief fund. Please
state that, personally, I am deep
ly gratified to find every detail of
the work so well in hand by your
people, and every one from Mayor
Parker down, deserves the highest
commendation for the admirable
manner in which they have coped
with the situation.”
The hospitals were closed Sun
day afternoon, and the patients
have been removed to their homes
for further treatment. In a short
time it is believed that
be restored to health.
The following nurses,
been on duty for the
weeks, were Sunday
relieved of their duties,

Mr. John W. Bailey Dead.
Mr. John W. Bailey died at his
home on North Bradford street
last Friday morning after an ill
ness of ten days, congestion of the
brain being the cause of his de
mise. Mr. Bailey is survived by
his wife and seven children. He
was 58 years of age, aud was well
liked by all who knew him. He
was honest and straightforward,
and would never stoop to a dirty
trick.
Mr. Bailey was a brother of Dr.
J. W. Bailey. He was city sexton
for two years, holding this posi
tion at the time of his death. The
funeral services were conducted
Friday afternoon by Dr. W. F.
Quillian and Rev. J. L. R. Bar
rett. The remains were interred
at Alta Vista cemetery.
Denounces The Charge.
Mr. F. P. Catchings, electrical
engineer in charge of the Gaines
ville street railway system, and
himself a graduate of the School
of Technology, has written a letter
in which he denounces the critic
isms passed on the school by Dr.
Broughton.
In the letter Mr. Catchings
states that he is personally ac
quainted with members of the
faculty and a number of graduates
of the institution, and that no
brighter or more moral young men
come forth from any institution
than those who receive their di
plomas from the Tech. He de
plores the fact that Dr. Broughton
should have taken occasion to at
tack the well known institute in
such a manner.
Will Hear Judge Parker.
A number of the lawyers of
Gainesville will attend the annual
.meeting of the Geoagia Bar Asso
ciation at Tallulah Falls beginning
tomorrow. On Friday, Judge
Alton B. Parker, chief Judge of
the Court of Appeals of the state
of New York, and prominently
snoken of as a candidate for the
Democratic Presidential nomina
tion, will deliver the principal ad
dress to the association. On ac
count of the national prominence
of Judge Parker, much interest
will attach to whatever he will
have to say. It is expected that
several people of Gainesville, out
side the members of the bar, will
hear Judge Parker.

Free Delivery Boxes.
Mr. E. A. Holcomb was m town
Saturday and carried out 42 mail
boxes for R. F. D. route No. 4,
which is to run from Gainesville
via Oconee Mills toward Constan
tine and return. The people hope
this route will be put on today, or
at an early date, as it will be a
great convenience to them. The
mail boxes are nice ones, and the
average price paid for them was
$1.20.
Revival at New Holland.
Rev. D. S. Grindle, pastor of the New
Holland Baptist church, is conducting
a meeting there this week, and the
probabilities are that the services will
continue through next week. Rev. G. J.
Davis of Cornelia, is assisting Bro.
Grmdle, and both ministers are doing
some splendid preaching. Many con
versions have been reported, and much
good is being accomplished. The house
of worship will hardly accommodate
the crowds who flock to the services.
