MISS HUDGINS WINS
PIANO.
Mrs. M. F. Deason Wins The
Second Prize.—The Vote of
The Contestants.
GAINESVILLE HAS
5,925 POPULATION.
An Increase of 1543 Population
Since 1900.—Growth Not as
Great as Expected.
At midnight last night, Messrs.
R. L. Blackwell, Adam K. Geiger
and Amos E. Fuller finished count-
ngthe votes in the Gainesville
News’ subscription Contest and
the following is the result:
Miss Dessie Hudgins received
1,649,325 votes.
Mrs. M. F. Deason received
1,304,240 votes.
Miss Wortie Montgomery re
ceived 383,620 votes.
Miss Daisy Butler received
366,532 votes.
Miss Alice Pitchford received
143,090 votes.
Miss Dessie Hudgins, therefore,
receives the capital prize, the pi
ano, while Mrs. M. F. Deason re
ceives the parlor suit. '
Miss Wortie Montgomery re
ceives the diamond j- ring, and
Miss Daisy Butler and Miss Alice
Pitchford each receive a gold
watch.
The News congratulates the
winners and regrets that there is
not a piano for each one of the
contestants. However, Only one
could win the capital prize, but
the other contestants have won
prizes that well repays them for
their work.
The census bureau on Saturday
announced the population of
Gainesville as 5,925 for 1910. This
is an increase of 1,543 over 1900.
This will come as a considerable
disappointment to the citizens of
the city, who feel that Gainesville
should be credited with not less
than eight thousand peeple. In
fact, if the population of the city
and suburbs was taken into con
sideration, Gainesville has about
11,000 people. ,
However, Gainesville must be
content to sail under the announc
ed figures until the next census,
but in the meantime its citizens
will keep on hustling" and Will
show the world in ten years just
what a really hustling, populous
city it is. Much progress has been
shown by he city during the past
few year u not a circum
stance o t development tha1:
will take ola«| uring the next
ten years. Gainesville is just noW
on the eve of greater growth anc.
prosperity than it has ever known.
Therefore, put your shoulders
to the wheel for 15,000 population
for 1920.
Dr, Pearce 8 Daughter Dies.
Gainesville was shrouded in
; jloom Monday when it was learned
that the daughter of Dr. H. J.
Pearce was dead. Miss Mary
Pearce had been buffering with!
pneumonia at the home of her<
grandmother in Columbus and at
the time of her death her father
Was with her. The funeral was
in Columbus and floral offerings
Were sent by the faculty of Bre-
nau, the student body, the trus
tees, the societies and the First
Methodist Sunday-school. The
universal sympathy of our people
is with Dr. Pearce in his irreper-
able loss.

A BANK'S GUARANTEE
The depositor feels that he is justly entitled to some
sort of protection when he deposits his money with a
bank. He is right about it. We feel that way too. We
want our depositors to feel secure or we do not care for
their account. Every dollar of this bank's capital stock
stands as a guarantee that the depositor will be paid in
full and promptly. Every dollar in our surplus fund is a
like guarantee. Not only that, but every stockholder is
liable for double the amount of stock he holds as an addi
tional guarantee that depositors will get their money.
More than that. Every officer, director and stockholder
in this bank feels that he is personally responsible for the
confidence reposed in this bank by its depositors. They
take pride in the integrity and ability of this bank to meet
its obligations. We are conservative with our loans,
careful about our reserves, and our one aim is to guaran
tee security and merit confidence.

Hi

Local Taxation at Gillsville.
Gillsville school district has vot-
3tric
’ lie
The trustees have, not set the rate
to be paid by the tax payers of
that district but it may be any
amount up to five mills. Part of
this district is in Banks county
and part in Hall. The report goes
through Banks county but the
town of Gillsville is in Hall. In
speaking of the district
oting j n
taxation the County School Com
missioner expresses the wish that
the county as a whQle would vote
local taxation. “It is high time we
were taking advanced steps in
this matter,” said he, “if I had the
money from an extra tax on the
property of the county at a rate
of two and a half mills, I could
supply every school in the county
with a first-grade teacher and run
the schools as long as the child
ren could attend.”
