“I had pains in my head, neck and

they were most severe in ray left side.
The doctor called it neuralgia and in
digestion. I wa3 confined to my bed for
eight months. I was very nervous, had
smothering spells and could not sleep. I
read of cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla and
of a case similar to mine. My husband
procured a bottle, and I began taking it.
After taking one bottle I felt better, was

Gainesville merchants are preparing
to lay in large stocks of goods for. the
fall trade. Most of them are doiifg a
good business, taking, into considera

firms have representatives in the eas

Mr. John M. Hynds of the firm of J.
G. Hynds & Co., lias been in New York
for several days purchasing goods. He
will return about the first of next
month.
Mr. George G. Byers left Tuesday

Messrs. Geo. P. Estes, G. F. Turner,

went via the Seaboard Air-line early
Wednesday morning to New York.
They will all return in about ten days,
and Gainesville will soon be flooded
with more bargains in every line than
ever before.
Mr.-H. H. Dean will erect a large two
or three story hrick building on the
corner lot at Main and Washington
streets, opposite the Hudson House.
He recently purchased the lots on the
corner from Mr. R. Martin of Lula, and
Mr. J. W. Smith of this city.
The building will be one of the best
in the eity and will present a splendid
appearance, adding quite a great deal
to the business square. The size of the
building will he 70x90 feet, and will he
handsomely furnished inside and out.
The front of the first floor is to be of
stone, and the second will be of cream
colored brick. It is very probable that
the buiding will be three stories high,
the third story, to be occupied as lodge
rooms for some'secret orders.
The first and second floors will be
occupied by the J. E. Murphy Company,
who will do a large dry goods business,
and also handle groceries. A stock
company has been organized, and Ijfr.
J. E. Murphy will be its president. He
will have charge of the business and
will carry an immense stock of goods.
It is understood that Messrs. \Z. - T..
Castleberry; John Carter, Raymand
Thompson and Dr. J. W. Bailey are the
members of .the stock company.
" Work bn the building will begin at
an early date. . Mr. Dean returned to
the city last night and will let the con
tract for the building in a few. days.
The work wili be pushed rapidly ahead,
and completed : at the earliest* possible
moment. As soon as the building is
ready for occupancy the new company
will open up.unhandsome stock of goods
and begin business at once.
Mr. Murphy, the president of -the
company, formerly lived in'Gainesville
Tuesday afternoon. The killing creat
ed a sensation as both young men are
well known.
The difficulty arose over a young
lady, Miss Babe Martin, to whom both
young men were paying attention.
All of the parties attended a re-union
at Bethlehem church near Lula, and
jealousy was the cause of the' erijgae.
Pool was stabbed in the left breast by
Cape and died in a few moments after
he was so fearfully cut.
There were no eye witnesses to the
terrible tragedy, as the participants
were alone in the woods a short dis
tance from the church. .
Cape was arrested soon after the kill
ing and brought to Gainesville by an
officer and placed in jail. He was seen
at the jait^ Wednesday morning by a
representative of The Cracker, and
made the following statement:
“I didn’t know I had killed Pool,”
said Cape, “arid I had. no suehdnten-
tion. It waS done in defense of myself.
It was this way; I was preparing rqy
horse and' buggy for the purpose of
taking Miss Martin for a ride. Pool
came along and called me to one side,
saying he wanted to see me. I stepped
aside to talk with him, and he began
striking me over the head arid, face
wifh his fists without the least warn
ings and without saying a word, 1 had

Quite a party of people who are sum

factory of The J. G.Hynds Manufac
turing Company Wednesday to inspect
this mammoth shoe establishment.
They were shown through every de
partment by Mr. Manning, who ex
plained how the shoes werd made. Of
course they had heard about the'fa
mous Gainesville shoe but had no idea
they were manufactured in such large
quantities. When told that on an
average of one thousand pairs of shoes
were made a day they were astonished.
However, after being shown through
the factory they were made to fully
realize what a great enterprise it was
for Gainesville, and were convinced
that there was not another shoe fac
tory in the South that would compare
with it.

of the plant is taxed to its utmost.

an over-bearing man and he ought to
have .been killed, but I am sorry I
killed him." This is going to gi^e me
