Will Give a Recital. Mr. Ada Lewis, who was so favor ably received at the Chautauqua last summer, will give a recital at the Sem inary January 28th. Everybody is in vited to hear her, and it is safe to sa v she will have a good crowd. An inter esting program has been arranged foi the recital. M A A Handsome Statesman. Hon. Fletcher M. Johnson of Hall, the handsome statesmen who made such a splendid record in the past legis lature, was one of the early visitors in Atlanta yesterday. Mr. Johnson came down on the morning train from Gainesville and returned to his home in the afternoon. He said he was right in the race for solicitor of his circuit, and that he thought he would win over Mr. Will Charters, his oppo nent. On being asked if he and Mr. Charters had formed any combinations with the numerous candidates for ■congress in that district, Mr. Johnson said that he supposed he would have to join forces with Mr. Howard Thompson, .as he understood that Mr. Tate opposed him for solicitor and that Mr. Charters .opposed Mr. Thompson.—Wednesday’s Atlanta Constitution. There seems to be no doubt in the minds of many Gainesville people that the $3,700 received by the agent of the' Southern Express Company in Atlanta a day or two ago is the same money that was stolen from the company at Social Circle last spring, the story of which was fully told in the daily press at that time. The amount stolen was $4,000. Of this amount about $300 was in checks, the remainder being in cash. This tal lies exactly with the amount received by the company, through the mail in Atlanta. The money was first wrap ped in a big bundle, it is said, and ad dressed to the postmaster at Macon. Upon opening it, he found on the in side the address of the Southern Express Company at Atlanta, and it was promptly forwarded. The Macon post master was notified later that the package contained $3,700. It is known that the officers of the Ex press Company have been hard at work on the robbery since it occurred, and it is generally believed that they were on such a hot trail that the person who stole the money ( V?as frightened so badly that he promptly sent it to the company, thinking he might thereby save himself. Several officers of the company have been in Gainesville this week but they were mum as oysters, and would not talk about the robbery. It is confidently expected that some sensational developments ia the case will materialize in a very few days, and the arrest of the suspected parties may follow. Tbe Surprise of AH. Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones <fc Son, Cownen, Ill.., in speak ing of Dr. King’s New Discovery, says that last winter his wife was stricken with LaGrippe, and her case grew so serious that physicians at Cowden and Pana could do nothing for her. It seemed to develop into hasty consump tion. ’ Having Dr. King’s New Discov ery in store, and selling lots of it, he took a bottle home. To the surprise of all she began to get better from first dose, and Imlf dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well. Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs, and colds is guaranteed to do this good work. Try it. Free trial bottles at M. C. Brown and Co.’s. For Sale.
