The Governor’s message to the
legislature is quite a lengthy one
and embraces almost all questions
of state interest. Some recom
mendations are very wise, and
should be heeded by the Georgia
law maters.
His reference to ; the penitentiary
problem has been published before
and his position on tljis question
was*therefore known. What dis
position the legislature will make
of the matter is not known as it is
a most diffcult problem to solve.

Whereas, It has pleased Almighty
God to take from us our beloved class
mate, Jones Ham, to which dispensa
tion of his providence we would humbly
boul.
Be it resolved, first, That we shall
always cherish the noble qualities of
our beloved classmate and friend, real
izing as we do the abiding impress of
his character upou us.
Second, That,in his death we have
sustained a great loss, as well as the
community at large.
Third, That the Sunday School of
which he was a member has lost from
its ranks an active, though unassuming
worker.
Fourth, That in the example- of the
deceased, we, his fellow classmates,
have a pattern worthy of imitation.
Fifth, That we extend to his be
reaved family our deepest sympathies.
Sixth, That a copy of these resolu
tions be sent for publication to the
Gainesville papers, and that a copy of
same be presented to the family of
the deceased.

The Queen City’s name and fame as a
town thoroughly adept in the art of
hustling and her reputation for un
rivalled climate have .spread over the
land far and wide. But I have never
seen in any publication a resume of
what Gainesville and vicinity have pro
duced to contribute to science and lit-
There are a number of quite
erature.
talented writers who live among us
to-day—some authors whose works are
making for themselves places in the
libraries of the South. These cotem-
poraneou a»writers speak for themselves
in the volumes they have given to the
world and in the gems of thought and
diction which occasionally find their
way into our newspapers and maga
zines. But in the years agone the then
sleepy little mountain hamlet made
and filled her tiny niche in the walls
of letters and science.
A Library.
The question of allowing those peo
ple ,of the city who desire it the use
of the library at the Georgia Female
Seminary by paying a small fee or
assessment, is being discussed. The
matter has been very favorably com
mented upon by those who desire ac
cess to a library of good books, and
who at the same time feel like helping
the school to more thoroughly equip it,
and make it one of which any institu
tion would feel proud.
Na definite plans have as yet been
agreed upon or mapped out, but un
doubtedly the number of those who
would gladly pay a small fee or assess
ment to get the advantage of a good
library would be large. Gainesville
has no bublic library, and the one at
the Seminary would afiord many the
advantages they desire for a very small
amount of money.

When the yellow,flag of quarantine
is hoisted over a dwelling it means disease

portant organs of the body. On the
proper discharge of its functions depend
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be*

body become involved. Never negleot
the liver if yon value health. If you are

One of the most famous literary and
certainly the most notable scientific
mind that ever added worth of this
sort to Gainesville’s wealth was that of
the celebrated Dr. Stevenson, some of
whose descendants are residents here
to-day. A man of distinctive genius,
powerful in grasp of investigation and
profound in research, eccentric, per
haps, as geniuses are wont to be, he
was one who learned more of Nature
as she reveals herself hereabout than
any before or after him. He knew the
geology of Georgia like a book and his
knowledge in other lines of science
was equally as remarkable and thor
ough. His works are today among the
standards of the German schools.
TURNER IS HOPEFUL.
Ex-Congressman Henry G.
Turner of Georgia, who was often
spoken of daring his long career in
the House as one of the ablest
statesmen of the south, was in
Washington recently and was in
terviewed by a Washington Star
reporter. He might still have
retained his seat had he not vol
untarily declined to become a
candidate any longer, owing to the
fact that as a sound money man
he was at variance with the mass
of his constituents.
“I still hope and believe,” said
-he, “that democrats of all shades
bf opinion on finance will get to
gether and battle as of yore for
-democratic principles, which I
truly believe are the safeguard of
the nation. I am certain that a

Another noted character in the world
of science, who, while he did not live in
Gainesville practised his profession both
in the village and in the country round
about, was Dr. Long, of Jefferson, to
whose study and experiment and re
search the medical fraternity is in
debted for the discovery ot the most
powerful and convenient anesthetic
known to the profession. And thou
sands whose sufferings have been alle
viated by the use of his discovery conld
rise up all over the world and bless
his memory. His writings were not
numerous, but his name lives, and to
day there stands in Boston a marble
monument dedicated to “the unknown
discoverdt of ether anesthesia,” and
under this inscription should be chis
eled in deep cut letters the name of
Long.
