Though many years have crowned his THE GEORGIA CRACKER. head with a snowy glory he is still and laughs a lovable and beloved, pleasant reminiscent laugh when mention the “Major’s Courtship.” There’s a rustle an’ a hustle an’ a bustle in the air, - There’s a crushin’ an’ a rushin’ an’ a pushm’every wher e, Oh, there’s crowds upon the sidewalks an’there’s crowds inside the stores, Till there isn’t any room nor rest for idlers nor for bores; There’s lively droves a-goin’ up an’ herds a-comin’ down, For there’s life an’ snap an’ vigor an’ there’s business in the town. There’s business blocks a-goin’ up o’ steel an’yaller bricks, An’ glass in plates an’ parapets an’ all them fancy tricks, There’s factories that’s jest been built an’ others come to life, There’s rivalries an’ enterprise an’ com petition rife; There’s cotton jes’ a-crowdin’ in an’ fillin’ up the square, An’ stacks o’ goods a-goin’ out at prices pretty fair.

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. Governor Atkinson takeB a very decided Btand against lynch law, and the people of the state ap plaud his sentiments upon this question. Lynching is an evil which should be stopped, and 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. Raifb Banks. Charles S. Perry.

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.

So when the yellow flag flies in the face—when the cheek is sallow and the clear white of the eye is dyed saffron—there is danger. It is liver tremble. The liver Is one of the most im 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* gin to generate, and other organs of the body become involved. Never negleot the liver if yon value health.

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.

VEHICLES » « « We Build ’Em to Suit You 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.

SIODS question the democracy stood a good chance to keep control of the government for a full quarter of a century. I am sanguine, however, that a reunion will take place in the near future, and that is the only requisite of national victory.” If the Democrats ever do get together again such men as Henry G. Turner, Thomas G. Lawson and Hoke Smith of Georgia will be the ones to “lead the erring from the wilderness,” where, if their wise counsel had prevailed, they never would have gone.
