' - DIP. Since the church here at Con cord has been completed it pre sents quite an attractive appear ance, and speaks well for the com munity at large. Miss Nora, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Pittman, is some bet ter. She has been quite sick with fever.. Almost all of our people are gone below with apples, among them: Messrs. J. W. Keith, H. Adams, B. F. M. Head, Frank Rogers, and others. There were eleven baptized at Holly Springs church last Sunday and seven one month ago. Mr. Bud Hulsey will run the gin with his engine at the T. W. Staton stand, and by this means it will be a great accommodation to the public since they can gin and grind at the same time. Mr. J. N. Miller attended the burial of his brother Headen, last Saturday at Maysville. A BOOM IS ON. The future for Gainesville looks unusually promising, at the pres ent tima.

The* greatest triumph of modern chemistry is Dr. .Tichenor’s Antiseptic. As a dressing for wounds, burfis, etc., it simply has no equal.

Watt’s Eczema Ointment is a scien tific preparation guaranteed to cure eczema, tetter, ringworm, and all parasitic diseases of the skin. Hun dreds of testimonials in the possession of Dr. Thos. J. Watts of Barnes ville, Ga., attest its efficacy as a cure of the diseases for which it is prepared by him. The ointment is odorless; does not irritate, and is non-poisonous. It sells for twenty-five .cents a box, and will be sent by mail upon receipt of price. The negroes are more suscepti ble to the yellow fever in the gulf cities than the whites. The Cracker hopes to see the Georgia Manufacturing Com pany prosper. All such enter prises are very valuable to a city like Gainesville. The yellow fever epidemic is a very expensive one to the South. Already it has cost the Southern people thousands of dollars. Traffic, both passenger and freight, on some of the most important, railroads has practically been stopped, which \of course means the loss of many dollars to bus iness men inpaany sections. In many cases large shipments of freight have been held up be cause of the rigid quarantine established against infected dis tricts, and some -ot the railroads have discontinued their trains because they could not be run as formerly. The yellow fever is not only very dangerous but it is quite The number of deaths When the citizens of any city work together for its advance ments and progress it is usually an excellent 'place. The more hard work, the people of Gaines ville do for the town the better place it will be. A New Citizen. Mr. John A.

Tomorrow afternoon at 4 o’clock, Rev. J. A. Wynne, pastor of the First Baptist church, will deliver an address before the Baptist Young People’s Un ion this being the first of a series of talks on Christ to be delivered before the .union. Mr. Wynne is an interest ing and entertaining speaker, and the series of talks on Christ will no donbt prove very beneficial to all who hear them. All interested are invited to be present. A great English soldier says that the English-speaking race has produced but five soldiers of the first rank in three centuries— Marlborough, Washington, Wel lington, Robert Lee and Stone wall Jackson. JOHNSON A DORSET, An exchange says “the chickens in Alaska are dying of Klondlcitis They get nuggets ftf gold in their gizzards and choke. to death.” This is not true of North-Georgia chickens. They are fattening on expensive, as compared to previous epidemics is comparatively light, but the effects of the scourge will be felt for a long time to come. There is but little doubt that the quarantine regulations adopt ed by some cities are entirely too severe and unnecessary. It is well and proper to be cautious, but too rigid; quarantine regula tions will result disastrously. You naturally lose flesh in the summer and running down Is so easy. You get a little weaker each day without hard ly noticing it There is loss of appetite, headache, weakness of the muscles, disturbed sleep, weakness of memory, and these are the beginning of nervous prostration. Iron and tonics end bitters may afford some temporary relief, but what you need is a food for body, brain and nerves. There seems to be little doubt that Vice-President John M. Egan will succeed Mr. H. M. Comer as president of the Central railroad. The policy of the road will per haps remain the same, but what alteration in existing conditions Association Meets. The Chattahoochee Association will convene with Yellow Creek church ten miles north of Gainesville, on Thur day October 7 th 1897. A. H. Wisgo, Clerk. How’s Tills?

Although the price of cotton is very low lots of it is being sold m Gainesville. The Cracker is always at work for those things which mean the advancement of Gainesville’s in terests. Shepperson, the cotton expert, says the decline in cotton has gone far enough. We agree with him fpliv. The Chicago Herald remarks that the foot that rocks the cra dle has no right to kick for wo man’s rights. Atlanta wants a Tammany to control municipal politics, and she will likely have it. She usual ly gets what she wants. The school teachers in New Or leans get paid for the month of October although the schools will not open until November 1. This seems to be a great year for Georgia mayors to be talked of for Georgia governors. As this is an off year this is admissi ble. The Georgia Female Seminary, The Cracker’s pet, is moving along nicely, and many young girls are being trained in the way young women should go. FALL ELECTIONS. Although this is an “off year in politics several elections will take place in November in which much interest is centered. The result of these elections may have some bearing upon the future success of the victorious party. General state elections will oc- cur in Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania New York, Nebraska and Massachusetts. Kentucky elects a clerk of the court of appeals, Massachusetts chooses a governor for one year. Ohio and Iowa choose governors for two years, and Virginia chooses a governor for four years. Sena torial contests are to be decided in Ohio and Maryland. • Pennsylvania will elect a state treasurer and auditor. In Ne braska a judge of the supreme court and regents of the state university will be chosen. - New York will elect a legislature and chief justice of •= the court of appeals. The contest around which cen ters, perhaps the greatest interest is that of the first^election of moyor and general officers of Greater New York. The outcome of this race will be watched throughout the civilized world. There seems to be a fair chance of Democracy winning in nearly all these elections, excepting Ohio of course, which will go strongly republican, if the campaigns are conducted upon issues other than those contained in the Chicago platform. In a majority of the plrces there is a disposition to make the fight on broader princi ples' and the outlook is encour aging. All the elections occur on Tues day after the first Monday in November. * CLEVELAND NEWS. r Our paper is dead, therefore let the outside world hear from us through your columns, please.

Intelligencer, of the 15th nit., which will be sad news in deed to the numerous friends and acquaintances in this city, of Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong and their lovely little daughter: “Died, in Seattle, Tuesday, Septem ber 14, at 4 a. m., Madge Venita Arm strong, daughter of F.
