Buffington, who was perhaps one of the oldest Justices of the Peace in the State at the time of his death, breathed his last at his home in Tadmore district, nine, miles south east of Gainesville, Friday night of last week. He had been ill for sometime, and the news of his death created no surprise among his friends who knew of his serious condition. Mr. Buffington was seventy-six years, of age, and was Justice of the Peace of Tadmore district fifty years. He was sincere and true to his friends, and. was noted for his rugged honesty and uprightness. He will be sadly missed in the community in which he lived.

As to politics just now, Fletch Johnson is on the verge of entering the race for the soliq- itor-generalship ot the Northeastern circuit. In fact, he has been in the race for some time, but he has never actually asserted himself until the present trip. Now he has put the boys on notice that he is in to the finish. Hon. William A. Charters of Dahlonega, will be in the race against him, and the contest promises to be one of the heat ed variety.

If it is erected it will command a beautiful view of the mountains that rise and dip in a line of ever changing blue across the northern horizon, besides blending in its location the charms of woody and rustic associations with the advantages of the city. For sometime a movement has been on foot to build a magnificent new hotel in Gainesville. It is understood that Col. H. H. Dean, Mr. H. N. O’Neal and several other prominent citizens are interested in the matter, and it is prob^ able that the hotel will be built by a. stock company. The location decided upon is a very desirable one. The hotel would be situated out just far enough from the city, and there is no doubt that it would be filled from season to season if properly advertised and managed, which it surely would be if Mr. O’Neal had it in his hands. Gainesville has long been a popular summer resort. For many yetrs Gow er, New Holland and White Sulphur were thronged every summer, and since these resorts have been neglected a more opportune time could not be selected for building a large modern hotel on the outskirts of the city. There are many attractions in Gaines ville which other summer resorts do not have. HOSCH BEOS. & CO. Irs. Frank M.
