He is not a politician in any
sense, and is not seeking the office.
The Democrats of Gainesville feel
that they should control the city
government and in Col. Dean they
feel that, they have found the man-
for Mayor.
The bill introduced at the pres
ent session of the legislature to
amend the charter of the city of
Gainesville making Judge Gaston
eligible to succeed himself will
fail of passage, and this elimi
nates him from the race. It is
probable therefore that Col. Dean
will be elected without opposition.

Major John T. Wilson, sr. is one of
the oldest instructors of tne young in
this section, and has been one of the
best. He is an old gentleman now,
and has retired from active work.
Speaking about him and the good work
he has accomplished, a prominent gen
tleman was overheard to say, in con
versation with another at the post-
office: “He is one of the best teachers
to be found anywhere,, and . when he
was actively engaged in the work—his
chosen profession—he was noted
as a fine disciplinarian, and an
excellent educator. He has trained
the young idea and manipulated the
ferrule for forty years, and during
these years he has had* a great deal to
do with the making of young lives. He.
has done gpod work.”
