With flickering light the moonlight rays Through cottage lattice gleam; "f Sweet fancies float on fairy wings To, those within, who dream Of days to come, those halcyon days. With hearts all free from care; They’ll stroll along the flowery ways And breathe the fragrant-air. r The moonlight deepens, from thetrbes The screech-owl’s ery is heard; Dost hear the warning from the breeze, The doleful ery of bird? Which forebodes evil to our lives, The startled maiden cries; Then seeks the shield of loyer’s arms And upon those arms relies. The moon looks down with scornful gaze Upon the lovers wooing; And smiles to think, how many ways There are, of people wooing; Like birds, they mate when spring-time comes, To greet them with its flowers; And like the birds, they separate, To seek for pleasanter bowers. YHon'. ^Patrick Walsh,' delivered an address on. “Irish Patriotism” on’Irish- Ameriean day at the Tennessee Centen nial Exposition: In his speech, refer ring to the charge of Meagher’s Irish Brigade -at- Fredericksburg, he made use of the following from the pen. ofCoL C. G. Sanders of Gainesville,. who was colonel of the 24th Georgia. CoL Sanders says: “The writer was an eye witness to the charge of the Irish Brigade, at Fredericksburg. “General Lee had, , at the time, the finest army In history. Two formida ble lines of. battle were proteeted by a rock wall, and defended by Cobb’s and Kersbaw’s Brigades of McLaw’s Divis ion, (one-fourth of whom, I suppose, were Irishmen or of Irish extraction), and the famous Washington Artillery. In our immediate front one could walk on the dead for hundreds of yards. We were pained to see the noble' fellows coining up in steady columns to be mowed down before our lines - of solid flames of fire from our entrenched po sition behind the rpck wall and the ter rible fire from the Washington Artil lery on Marie’s Hill, just in our rear and commanding every inch of ap proach. The Irish Brigade would re ceive our well-directed lire steady and firm, and when great gaps were cut through their ranks by the artillery would reform under the incessant fire, come again, sink down and rise again, trample: the dead; and wounded under foot and press the stone wall of liquid fire, then recede a few feet and come again like an avalanche into the very jaws of death, until strength and en durance failed, haying been forced back by shell and' the deadly minnie-ball that no human being could withstand. The field of battle ran great streams of blood, and the immortal Irish Brigade recoiled before the living wall of fire in glory. “I know of no charge upon the field of battle in history to compare to the charge of the - Irish Brigade at Fred ericksburg. unless it was Pickett’s Di vision at Gettysburg, or the charge of the Old Guard at Waterloo. . .“The; immortal Irish Brigade were soldiers indeed-. “I have heard, but I do not know whether it is correct that after the Fredericksburg battle the United States Government mustered out the Irish Brigade from service and placed all upon the pension roll. You can exam ine* records dr see for yourself as to correctness. “I have always felt proud of my one- fourth Irish blood The Irish have fought the battles of all countries, I wish you success in your address, and threfe cheers for the Immortal Irish Brigade.” ' Dr. J. H. Daniel h.as bong-lit the res idence of Mr. Walter McKinney on Green street, the deal having been made this week. The property is val uable and is situated in one of the best localities in the city. Mr. McKinney now occupies the home, which is one of the neatest in the city. Mrs. James Telford this week pur chased the house and let on the corner of College Avenue and Main street, opposite the residence of Dr. J- W. Oslin. It was purchased from a gen tleman who resides in Boston, who has owned it for some time. The home is a very pretty one, and Mrs, Telford has secured some good property. Dr. J. H. Daniel has also purchased a nice vacant lot on Bradford street.' Bud Brooks’ attorneys yesterday filed a bill of exceptions in his case and it 'goes to the Supreme Court.

Habersham is one of the Oldest Miners in the Country. Mr. Neverill Bennett, who is perhaps the oldest citizen of Hall county', was in Gainesviie Thursday. He is over nine ty years old, and came to Hall county before it was laid out and organized. He was here long before Gainesville was incorporated, and has killed deer and .picked chinquepins and chestnuts where the public square is now situa- ’ted. The red man was here in large numbers in those days, and was a fam iliar figure. . - Mr.- Bennett, although he has lived nearly a century, is hale and hearty and gets around remarkably well. His health is good, and his last days are He comes to North Side Public Square, Artistic Mr. William W. Habersham has gone to Flowery Branch wffere he opens a large mine. He will be engaged there some time and believes he has struck some rich veins , on the property upon which he has secured an option. Mr. Habersham is an old and expe rienced miner, and about thirty years ago he spent quite awhile in the far northwest. He was one of - the pioneers of that country and was interested in mining in Idaho, Wyoming, Washing ton, Nebraska and other States. A number of years ago he returned to Georgia and most of the time since then has been spent in and around Gainesville. Several years ago he was on the Oostanaula riyer and was per haps the first man to discover pearls in that section. He was not surprised to hear of the finds of numerous large and valuable pearls on the river, which finds were made public a short time ago. Some of those found by him a few years ago were sent .to Tiffany’s expert, who declared them to be of almost priceless value. Mr. Habersham would have worked the river then but for the fact that he was interested in several mines which he could not re lease. He expects to return there some time and will no doubt be well reward ed for the work he does. Decidedly one of the happiest social events in GainesviHe in quite awhile was the reception tendered the young people of the city by Mr. and Mrs. C.. S. Webb Monday evening at their love ly borne on Aspen Hill.
