FRESHER NEWS,
THAN ANY PAPER
IN GAINESVILLE ?
Gainesville continues to pros

Summer visitors will soon begin
to arrive.
Northeast Georgia mining con
tinues with flattering prospects.
The Cracker and Gainesville
will w r ork together for Gaines
ville’s good.
Hall county will stand by her
favorite son in this campaign, as
she has always done.
Judge W. H. Fish is a candi
date for re-election to the supreme
bench. He has made a good judge.
Candler will win his fight from
Gainesville headquarters, the city
which proudly claims him as her
own.
The “one-eyed plowboy of pig
eon roost” will whip the fight and
win the Domination, letters or no
letters.
White primaries are the thing
when it comes to settling guber
natorial nominations, or any oth
er contests for that matter.
In speaking of a contemporary
a North Dakota editor calls him
“our esteemed friend, the bare
faced liar across the street.”
That Hight letter does not
amount to anything. Why some
newspapers try to make political
capital out of it cannot be under
stood.
The executive committee of the
Candler Club meets at the court
house Tuesday. Colonel Candler’s
friends are getting in shape for a
winning campaign.
The war talk is gradually dy
ing out, as was expected. There
is no cause for war if Spain will
pay the indemnity for the mischief
that has been done.
“The gubernatorial nomination
must be settled by White primaries
and they must be held on the same
day. ”—Georgia Cracker. Good!
Say it again.'—Augusta Herald.
Uncle Billy Simmons of the
Lawrenceville News-Herald- says
when Colonel Candler wrote his
now famous letter he was laboring
under temporary mental aberra
tion. Such a statement leads one
to inquire if Colonel Candler’s
“temporary 5 ’ troubles aren’t “per
manent” with Uncle Billy.
Judge Spencer R. Atkinson has
not yet resigned his position as
railroad commissioner. The latest
advices indicate that the judge will
swing on to it with vice like grip
until he knows “whether or no”
he is going to receive the nomina
tion for Governor. The people
would advise him to hold on to
his present job—if he wants any
job at all.
THE CHAUTAUQUA.
The time is approaching for the
final arrangements to be made for
the coming chautauqua. Every
body remembers the pleasant and
successful chautauqua of last sum
mer. It was through the individ
ual efforts of Profs. Van Hoose
and Pearce that the movement
was inaugurated and the first ses
sion was carried to a successful
culmination. They furnished the
time, energy and financial backing
and it is to their credit that no
chautauqua session ever held
proved so successful as the first
session of the one held here last
summer.
Profs. Van Hoose and Pearce
made the chautauqua self sustain
ing—and this was all they were
after. They furnished untold
pleasure to the people of Gaines
viile and the large number of sum
mer visitors here at that time
many of whom were drawn here by
the chautauqua session. They
proved that the chautauqua could
be a success as a permanent insti
tution; they proved that it wa9 a
pleasure to Gainesville citizens
they proved it could be, and was
a great attraction to people to
come here for the summer; they
proved that it was a great benefit
to Gainesville in many ways, and
if properly advertised would be a
bigger thing than even the most
sanguine could have the faith now
to believe would result from it.
But all this required work—hard,
earnest work. Personally they
received no benefit—nor cared to;
they were only working to get the
movement started and show the
people the opportunities it offered.
The citizens now see it. Now,
the question arises, w r ill they take
up the matter and push it ahead
as they should do? We believe
they will.
At the Arlington hotel yesterday
afternoon a number of the leading
citizens of the city assembled to
discuss the matter. It was shown
that only a small amount of money
was needed to make the chautauqua
this summer a bigger thing and a
greater success than last year. It
was shown that, with a little
effort, Gainesville could have a
better and bigger chautauqua than
Albany, Haw r kinsville and Cordele
—that the advantages hore were
far superior to almost any city or
section; that in the “Queen City”
a chautauqua could be worked up
which would some day rival the
New York chautauqua, after which
the work here is modeled. ’ The
people of Gainesville have the op
portunity to build up the finest
chautauqua in this countr3 T . Let
them put their shoulders to the
wheel and do it.
SEMINARY ECHOES.
What is Going- on with the Stu
dents and Faculty.
Mrs. J. L. Higgle of Tunnel Hill, Ga
visited her daughter, Ophelia, last !
week.
Don’t forget to hear the Boston Ideals
next week. Help the military. We
girls will do our part.
Miss Emma Matthews of Zebulon,
Ga., entered school last Monday. She
is a special music pupil, studying- piano,
violin and voice culture.
The girls will attend the performance
of the Boston Ideal Club in full force.
We all want to help the Rifles.
Mrs. Wallace leaves us to-morrow for
a trip to her old home near Sanders-
ville. We will miss her and hope for
her a most pleasant visit.
Mrs. S. H. Reed of Asheville, N”. C.
has been at the Seminary this week the
guest of her daughter, Cora. Mrs.
Reed is a charming lady, and we are
glad to have her with us.
Everybody is glad to see “Mother
Van Hoose” at her accustomed place
again. For three weeks she was sick,
but her cheerful face is now seen in
her room ag*ain, and the girls are glad.
Miss Evans, our new art teacher,
reached Gainesville last Monday and
already the girls are all in love with
her. She has had the finest art advan
tages of this country and Europe. She
studied for three years in Paris, Italy
and Holland, visiting all the great art
galleries of the old world. We are
fortunate in securing her services.
Miss Cochrane’s senior class held
quite an interesting debate last week,
on the question, “Should the United
States declare war against Spain?”
The decision was withheld because it
was feared that if known it might in
fluence Mr. McKinley in his action in
the matter, and the class felt that it
did not wish to assume this responsi
bility.
Prof. Van Hoose spent Monday in
Madison standing a military examina
tion. The girls all hope that he had
an experience which will cause him to
be more lenient to them in bis exami
nations, but from the delightful time
he seems to have had while the guest
of Col. Thomason, we infer that he
rather enjoyed the day, examination
and all.
It was a hard thing for us to say
good-bye to Mrs. Jewell. For four
years she has been a member of the
Seminary faculty and has endeared her
self to every girl and teacher that has
been connected with the school during
that time. In season and out of season
she has worked for the success of the
institution of which we are all proud,
and it is with sincere regret that we
lose her as a member of the Seminary
community. She will continue to re
side. in Gainesville, however, and we
hope to see her often.
