The “gesture song'' by Oscar P. Sis

seen at the Auditorium Monday night
is one of the cleverest and most amus

Tom Chapman, who .was implicated
in the burning of Mr. Turner Quillain’s
barn in Quillain’s district February 7th,
was put under a bond of 3500 last Mon

term of Superior court. The case came
up before Judge Sims and attracted
quite a great deal of attention, a very
large number of the people of that com
munity attending the trial.
Robert Priest, who was arrested and
put in jail last week after a commit
ment trial before Justice J. N. O’Kelly
of Quillian’s district, was the principal
witness. He states that Chapman was

Colonel Farrow will make a number

all the boxes from the left to the right
side of the case and will have a private
office in the corner of the building near
the left hand door entering. In the
right hand corner of the office proper
he will have a door through which the
mail will be passed. The changes to
be made will be quite an improvement
and no doubt will be more convenient
The fixtures will probably be repainted
and brushed up, and made to look bet
ter in every way.
Colonel Farrow’s administration
promises to be a successful and satis
factory one.
In Feeble Health
Unable to do Her Work —Nervous
and Tired— All These Troubles
Cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
“ For the past four years I have been in
feeble health, and for two years past,
owing to change of climate, I have not
been able to do my work. I was nervous
and had a tired feeling and was under the
treatment of physicians, but I continually
grew worse. My husband insisted on my
trying Hood’s Sarsaparilla ahd I finally
consented, and began taking it the first of
June, 1896, The first bottle did me so
much good that I continued with it, and
after taking four bottles and one bottle of
Hood’s Pills I am able to do my work,
and the tired, nervous feeling is entirely
cured.” Mrs. G. N. Hosea, Suwanee, Ga.

granted the priyilege of running his
line along the public road toward Dah-

Mr. Harvey Richwine Dies Sud
denly While Out Driving.
While out driving with Mr. J. H.
Shirley last Sunday afternoon, Mr.
Harvey Richwine died very Suddenly.
He had been sick for several days but
appeared to be considerably better Sun
day. When about six miles from town
he handed the lines to Mr. Shirley
stating that something was hurting him.
Instantly he dropped back in his seat
dead. The remains were taken
from the buggy at the nearest house
and Mr. Shirley came to town and
summoned the undertaker who went
out and brought the remains to the
city. Monday morning Coroner Dorsey
held an inquest over the remains and
the verdict of the jury was that the de
ceased came to his death from some un
known organic trouble. Monday after
noon at 3:37 the remains were sent to
Wabash, Indiana, the Gainesville lodge
of Odd Fellows accompanying the re
mains to the train.
Mr. Richwine came to Gainesville i
month or two ago from Indiana and in
terested several gentlemen here in
patent hedge fence. A eharter was
applied for and Mr. Richwine was to be
at the head of the company to be called
the Northeast Georgia Fencing Com
pany. He was said to ha ye been
good citizen and a well known secret
order man of Wabash.”

In Dawson County.
Hon. Howard Thompson made the
welkin ring at Dawsonville Tuesday
where he addressed the citizens of Daw
son county in the interest of his candi
dacy for Congress. It was his first
speech of the campaign, and it bad a
telling effect on those who heard it.
Undoubtedly Dawson county will come
around all right,in the Thompson col
umn when the votes are counted over
that way. The friends of “Slick
Thompson will keep wide awake to see
that Dawson casts its vote for him.
Hon. R. T, Nesbit.
Colonel R. T. Nesbit, commissioner
of agriculture of Georgia, was in
Gainesville Wednesday in the* interest
of his candidacy. He was en route to
Atlanta from Dawsonville where head-
dressed the citizens of Dawson county
Tuesday. Colonel Nesbit would not
have been in the race to succeed him
self had he not been bitterly attacked
by some who hoped to make political
capital out of it and promote their own
interests. He now desires vindication,
and The Cracker hopes to see him re
elected by the people. He has certain
ly made an admirable commissioner and
deserves to be given another term by
the people. His Hall county friends
will stand by him.

sq. feet, and give you a written guarantee that “If the above named
roof leaks or needs painting at any time within ten years from date, I
am to do the work needed without any expense to owner of building.”
Albany, Ga., June 5, 1897.
We know Mr. Harvey English to be a citizen of Dougherty Co.,
Ga., a property holder therein ; that he has done a large amount of
painting in Albany, Ga. We have heard of no complaints about his
work. Work entrusted to his hands will be faithfully executed, and
his guarantee is good.—J. T. HESTER, Tax Collector ; SAM W.
SMITH, Ordinary; S. W. GUNNISON, Tax Receiver; R. P. HALL,

Mr.’ Harvey English has stopped a
very bad leaking roof for us with his
English Paint. I recommend his paint

roofs.
Georgia Cotton Oil Co., Albany Mill,
F. WHIRE, Supt.
Albany, Ga., July 13, 1895.
Mr. Harvey English painted the tin
roof on my house which leaked badly
in many places. I am well satisfied
with his work and the paint used by
him. JOHN D. POPE,
Attorney at Law.
Albany, Ga., Nov. 19. 1895.
The roof painting done for me by Mr.
Harvey English has been and still is
one of the most satisfactory jobs of
work which I ever had done. He
stopped all leaks in a large tin roof,
and there were a great many. His
whole transaction was fair, business
like and satisfactory.
_ Respectfully, A. W. MUSE.
Albany, .Ga., Jan. 29, 1897.
Having had Mr. Harvey English to
paint several roofs with his incompara
ble preparation for stopping leaks it
affords me pleasure to hear testimony
to his honest workmanship and to the
fact that “English Paint Stops the
Leaks; Yes it Do.”
JOSEPH S. DAVIS,
Cashier First National Bank.
Albany, Ga., Jan. 23, 1897.
Mr. Harvey English has covered the
roof of the engine room of the Albany
Water Works with his roof paint and I
am well satisfied with the work. He
has also done some work for me per
sonally, two years ago, which has
proved satisfactory. C. W. TIFT.
Chief Engineer Albany Water Works.
