Murder Given.
Considerable excitement
for a while somewhat of a huge
sensation was created Thursday
nigh* when the report was brought
to the sherif f, the coroner and the
police chief that a woman had
Been murdered in the city park,
and that a man had been seen
drive hurriedly away after throw
ing a bulky mass in a wagon. The
screams of a woman was said
have been distinctly heard and a
Pool of blood was found near the
roadway through the park.
Sheriff Crow mistook the cal
and in a rush boarded a car and
landed at Chttahoochee park, three
miles away. Coroner D. C. Stow
went to the city park and found
the blood ajs,reported and a large
crowd of people in a terribly ex
cited state.
In the course of time John Wills
was found to be at home and
his possession was a butchered
calf. The unruly calf was killed in
the park, dumped into the wagon
and driven away, while some one
reported that a woman had been
‘shorely murdered.”

Bill for Commission Govern
ment.
Representative J. 0. Adams
Will introduce at the present ses
sion of the Georgia legislature a
bill providing for the Commission
form of government for Gaines
ville. The bill provides for five
j Commissioners, who shall receive
j salaries each of $400; the Exe,cu-
‘ tive head or Mayor of the city is
to receive the same sum; a Camp-
troller, who shall be paid $1,500 a
year; a Recorder at a salary of
30, etc. The bill also provides
that city taxes shall be paid three
times a year, that is, 25 per .eent
of it in the spring, 25 per cent in
the summer, and the remaining
50 per cent in the fall. This pro
vision is for the purpose of avoid
ing the necessity of the city bor
rowing money in the summer to
“tide over” until fall. There are
many other features to the bill,
which is practically a duplicate of
tjhe one to be presented to the
legislature for passage for Atlan
ta. Of course, the law, before be
coming operative, is to be ratified
by the qualified voters qf the city
at an election to be held for that
purpose. The bill, if passed, is to
become effective for Gainesville
on January 1,1912.

.23 SMcKenzie-Harris.
fflThe wedding of Miss McKenzie
of Moultrie, and Lieut.jSmith Har-
ris of Fort Slocum, N. Y., occurred
at the home of the bride in Moul
trie last Wednesday afternoon and
the bride and groom reached
Gainesville Thursday en route to
visit Mr. Harris’ parents, Mr. and
Mrs. D. T. Harris of Murrayville.
The bride is a most charming'
young woman* who has a legion
of friends in her former home.
Lieut. Harris is a Hall county boy
who has made good in the U, S.
Army. The friends of the happy
pair extend best wishes for a long
and joyous life. They will return
to Fort Slocum in a short while,
where Lieut. Harris will join his

Mr. H. S. Jaudon, the civi^/en
gineer who did the work for the
city in paving the streets, and who
claims to have been employed by
the city to do the surveying and
preliminary work for the city for
the installation of the new $70,000
waterworks system, on Monday,
through Col. H. H. Perry and Cols.
Charters and Charters, entered
suit against the city for about $2,-
800.00 for his services and for the
preliminary work done as such
employee for the city. The suit is
based on a contract made during
February, 1910, on the strength
of which Mr. Jaudon claims that
he expended over $500 in doing
surveying etc., in an effort to find
a suitable site, ete., for the new
water plant. Mr. jaudon claims
that after he had gone ahead with
the work set forth in his petition
his services were dispensed with
by the Mayor and council, notwith
standing but little more was neces
sary to be done, and that his plans,
estimates, etc., were taken up by
the city and used for the work
now being carried on, though
another person was pu$ in charge
of said work. He also sets forth
that he was to receive five per
cent of the amount expended in
superintending the work of install
ation of the water works and ex
tension of the city sewer system
to see that the material and con
tractors rendered the city satis
factory work and material. The
suit is returnable at the July term
of Hall superior court, at which
time, in all probability, it will
come up for hearing.
