Constitution Advertises Gaines-
-ville.
East Sunday’s Atlanta Consti
tution contained a half page story
ef the development of the water
power on the Chattahoochee river
at Dunlap shoals, together with
photographs o f Chattahoochee
park and the power house and
dam of the electric company on
the Chestatee river. The story,
which was furnished by the Con
stitution’s local correspondent,
will result advantageously to
Gainesville, as it will reach thous
ands of people through the med
ium of the South’s greatest news
paper.
Association Adjourns.
%
The Chattahoochee association
adjourned with Flat creek church
last Sunday after an interesting
and profitable session of four days.
Rev. C. T. Brown was elected
moderator, Prof, T. H. Robertson
was re-elected clerk, and Mr. W.
E. Bolding was re-elected treasur
er. The meeting of the associa
tion was one of the best held in a
long time, and the members of the
body are very much gratified at
the growth of the affairs of the
church. The association will meet
next session with Zion Hill church,
two miles east of Oakwood.
Killed by Train.
O. A. Kn% was killed by train
No. 89 on Southern railway at
Wade’s crossing, about three
miles above Bellton, last Sunday
afternoon. He was returning
home from church in a buggy
with his wife and daughter when
the fast train bore down upon
him, killing Mr. King and serious
ly injuring his wife and child.
The buggy was torn into frag
ments, but the mule hitched to
the vehicle was unhurt. The de
ceased was a brother of Postmas
ter King of Bellton, and was a
highly respected Christian gentle
man.
Impressive Ceremonies.
The ceremony of laying the cor
nerstone of the new public school
building on last Wednesday after
noon was very impressive, and was
carried out as per program pub
lished in last issue of The News.
The corner stone is of gray mar
ble with the names of the city
board of education on one side,
ana the names of the city officers
on the other
The stone contains the follow
ing articles: List of faculty of
school and roster of students; His
tory of the public schools of the
city; History of the old Gaines
ville College; program of the first
graduating exercises of the school;
constitution and by-laws of the
various fraternal orders of the
city and lists of their officers; a
copy of The Gainesville News,
and the Gainesville Eagle; copies
of the current Atlanta papers, and
of the Atlanta Journal of June 3d
and 4th.
Four Switchboards.
Manager G. C. Reed announces
the arrival of another new switch
board at the central office of the
telephone exchange. Still another
one is on the way, which will
make four switchboards in all
in use at the local exchange.
The additional switchboards in
use will necessitate two new day
operators, and two young ladies
will be employed as “hello girls.”
Miss Moutie Bryson will be made
chief operator, to whom all com
plaints will be made, and she will
have supervision of the office
force. The installation of the
new switchboards and the ad
ditional force will give Gainesville
an exchange not excelled in the
country.
The “Red Devil,” Atlanta’s big
automobile which was here quite
recently came to grief in Macon.
While running at a lively speed it
ran into the sidewalk, tearing the
tires off two wheels -and shaking
the occupants up considerably. It
will doubtless be sent home for re
pairs.
A bride of 70 years and a bride
of 15 were the extremes in age
named in the applications for
marriage licenses in Chicago one
recent day*
Dr. Watkins Will Run.
Col. Bill Findley returned Fri
day from Towns superior court
and states that Dr. E. W. Wat
kins of Gilmer, was at court elec
tioneering for congress. He says
Dr. Watkins not only told him
that he was positively in the race
for congress, but that he would
issue his formal announcement in
November, at which time he
would outline his views upon pub
lic issues, and challenge Congress
man Carter Tate to a series of
joint debates over the district.
Dr. Watkins stated further that
he was going into the race to wiu,
and was setting his stakes accord
ingly.
Dr. Watkins is one of the best
known men in the Ninth district.
He has been in politics for many
years, is wealthy and influential
in his section, and is sure of a
strong following. The race for
congress promises to be a warm
one.
Only 345 Votes Polled,
Only 845 votes were polled in
the election for a Judge and Solic
itor of the city court of Hall
county last Wednesday. There
being no opposition to the ticket,
Judge Prior and Solicitor Johnson
having been overwelmingly nomi
nated, and the people being very
busy, no big vote was expected.
The returns were for varded to the
Secretary of State and Governor
Terrell has issued commissions to
the officers elected. Judge Prior
and Solicitor Johnson will serve
for three years.
Found Money and Returned It.
Bert Wade, the 14 year-old-sou,
of J. M. Wade, found the $95 lost
by Mrs. D. J. Clark on Monday of
last week. Young Wade is an em
ployee of the Gainesville Iron
Works, and it was on his return
home from his work that he found
the money only a few minutes af
ter it was lost. He returned the
money and was rewarded with a
ten dollar bill, by Mr. D. J. Clark,
Mrs. Clark’s husband.
