It was decided to hold the primary for the nomination of county officers, including two Representatives to represent the county in the General Assembly, | on Frida v, July 15th. It was also decided to hold the primary for the nomina tion of Supreme court justices on the same date. The-committee thought it wise to have only two primaries, and to have the county primary and the Su preme court primary to come on the same day, July 15th. The gubernatorial primary comes on June Oth, the date decided upon by the State Executive Com- ► mittee. § The action of the committee was practically unanimous in all that was done. There was not a dissenting vote to hold the county primary and the i Supreme court primary on July 15th. This was deemed the proper time, as the .farmers would not be through work on June 6th, and would not have the time [to turn out and poll a full vote. As soon as the dates of primaries were agreed upon a committee consisting [of Col. II. H. Dean, Mr. F. T. Davie and Secretary Sloan was appointed to draft 'a set of resolutions embodying the action of the committee and providing for 1 the qualification of voters in the primaries. The committee reported the fol- Ilowing resolutions which, after a short discussion, were adopted: Resolved: That we. the Democratic Executive Committee of Hall county, [believe that Che only fair way of nominating candidates is by a Democratic ■primary; and we further believe that ample time should be given the farmers to finish their crops so that a full* vote may he polled. Therefore, in order to give the candidates for the various offices a fair chance to present their claims for office before the voters of the county and that Iso dissatisfaction over the result of the primary and no complaint of lack of lame to canvass t he county that the primary for the purpose of nominating all ■county officers, including two candidates to represent the county in the General ■Lsembly, he held in each militia district on the fifteenth day of July, 1898. ■ It is further resolved: That the primary for the nomination of justices of ihe Supreme court be held at the same time of said county primary. Resolved: In pursuance of the recommendation of the State Executive ■Committee that a primary for Governor and state house officers be held in each [militia district cr. the sixth day of June, 1898. Resolved: That the qualification of voters shall be that all Democrats shall ■be entitled to participate in said primary, and also all other voters who [have not heretofore affiliated with the Democratic party provided they are will ing to pledge their honor, if challenged, that they will support the candidate in the general election so nominated in said primaries.

The Hynds Company has moved into the new building put up by Dr. Dixon and Mr. Cam Brow n on Mam street. The entire first floor will be used as a wholesale department. Heretofore the company has been crowded for quar ters and had not room enough to dis play the immense stock of goods. The room is large and the goods can be dis played to advantage. The Fruit Crop. The cold snap of Tuesday and Wed nesday damaged the fruit crop, it is thought, but to what extent nobody can just as yet tell. In some localities it w r as hurt worse than in others. Mr. I. D. Iludgins, who is in the nursery business, states that his fruit is dam aged but little. Others say their crop is cut in half by the freeze. Every body hopes the fruit is but slightly damaged. Homes will be Provided for Them.—Rev. J. II. Miller was Here this Week.— Mr. W. S. Withiiru's Address.— Members International Com mittee to be Here.-r Graud Chorus. The preparations for the State Sun day School Association which meets here April 18th, are going on. The committee appointed to solicit homes for the delagates met Thursday after noon, and discussed the coming of the visitors. Prof. H. J. Pearce, president ©f the county association, has been notified by 150 delegates that they will be here, and he expects fully that many more. Rev. J. H. Miller, field worker for the state association, was here Monday conferring with Prof. Pearce. He feels confident that the association will have the best meeting in its history in Gainesville. Some have asked why the association opens its meeting on Monday. This is because the international committee, which is preparing the Sunday school lessons for the next five or six years, meets in Atlanta Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and in order to get some of the members at the state association the meeting begins the following* Mon day night. The members of the com mittee are the ablest men engaged in the Sunday school work, and their pres ence will prove a great help to the State Association. On Sunday afternoon April 17th, at 3:30 o’clock at the auditorium, Mr. W. S. Witham of Atlanta, one of the most prominent Sunday school workers in the state, will deliver his famous lec ture on the “Vestibule Limited vs. the Freight Train Sunday School.” It is desired that representatives from each of the Sunday schools in the county he present. His,address will be of value to all who hear it. The Sunday schools of the city meet at the auditorium to-morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock to practice a chorus for the state association. Prof. Wallace will perform on the grand pipe organ, and the chorus of voices will be great. Everybody invited to come out and join in the chorus. Last Sunday afternoon a good crowd was present.

GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA. W. I HOBBS PKESIDENT. County Board of Education Re- Organized Tuesday. Census Enumerators Appointed to Take School Census of County.—Pay Fixed at $2 per day, and all Reports Must be in by May 1st. The County Board of Education met in the office of Commissioner Robertson at the court house Tuesday. The terms of President J. 15. Estes and Messrs. I. F. Duncan and D. T. Quillian having expired, the board was re-organized by the selection of Mr. W. I. Hobbs as president. The other members of the Board are Messrs. H. H. Beard, W. A. Crow, B. W. Lockhart and J. R. Mason, who were appointed for the term of four years by the last grand jury. The following gentlemen were ap pointed census enumerators for their respective districts to take a census of the schools: Gainesville, G. R. Coch ran; Clinchem, J. M. Deaton; Wilson’s, R. C. Burns; Flowery Branch, B. A. Carlisle; Friendship, J. T. Smith; Mor gans, F. G. Abernathy; Bark Camp, A. H. Jackson; Glade, H. F. Walker; Tad- more, L. L. Blackstock; Candler, P. B. Simmons; Quillians, D. J. Blackwell; Polksville, R. L. Blackwell; Whelchels, Thomas E. Highsmith; Fork, J. R. Robertson; Roberts, Virgil Beard; Gills- ville, G, W. Holcomb; Narramore, Mrs. Lou Rogers; Big Hickory, John Bryant. The pay for the enumerators was fixed at $2 per day, and they are given until the first of May to have all their reports in. They will begin their work immediately and .will take an accurate census. The last school census of the county taken in 1893, gave it a school popula tion of 5,582, while the school census of Gainesville amounted to 1,034. It is expected that both will be much larger this year, though the census cannot be correctly estimated. The board took no action with refer ence to the renewal or adoption of text books, postponing action on this matter until the first Tuesday in June. At that time the board will make con tracts for text books for the next five years. Mr. J. H. Stiff of Atlanta, represent ing the Georgia agency of the Rand, McNally Company, was here Tuesday. He Thinks of His Mother. While at the post-office a few days ago Postmaster Farrow handed us a ► money order he had just paid off. It was from Dallas, Texas, was from J. M. Miller to Mrs. J. A. Miller and was for one dollar and fifty-five cents. We saw nothing peculiar about it and asked what about it? Colonel Farrow re plied, it evinces affection for a mother by her boy a thousand miles away. Mrs. Miller lives on the top of the Blue Ridge near Porter Springs, in an hum ble cabin, with few comforts of life around her though they are of our best people. One of her boys on becoming of age went to Texas and though a poor man he came all the way from Texas a year or two ago to visit his mother. While under the parental roof on that visit he heard his mother and others conversing about some neighbors who had just drawn their pensions and in that cqnversation his mother remarked how glad she would be if she had a Died Tuesday. Mrs. Harry Breezer died at her home on Oak street Tuesday afternoon of consumption at the age of sixty-seven years. Her remains were interred at New Bridge church Wednesday, Rev. Mel Kimsey conducting the funeral seryiees. • Lipscomb-Little. Miss Daisy Lipscomb, a charming young lady of Bellton.and Mr. Bob Lit tle of Harmony Groye, were happily married last Sunday. The friends of both wish them a long and happy life. Their future home will be in Harmony Grove. Spoke at Monroe. Judge J. B. Estes addressed the vo ters of Walton County at Monroe last Tuesday in behalf of the candidacy of Hon. Allen l>. Candler for Governor. Judge Estes spoke to a big crowd and was enthusiastically received. He is an pension even if it were only five cents j eloquent spe aker and was paid close at- a day, recounting at the same time all j tention v, y h!s hearers. she could do with that small amount, j This boy spoke up and told his mother that if he lived he would send her that amount monthly as long as she lived. And he never forgets his mother, for these little money orders come v.ith perfect regularity, monthly, in advance. What a lesson this is to a great many bovs who never think of their mother. In New Quarters. The J. E. Murphy Company has moved into new quarters in the Dean building. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were opening days and great crowds thronged the handsome store so well filled with elegant and tastily arranged goods. It is undoubtedly one of the handsomest stores in Northeast Georgia and no doubt the company will do a large business. The millinery display is highly creditable and can not be surpassed by many more pre- tentious concerns. The store has the appearance of many of the larger city dry goods houses and is an emporium of which any city should be proud. Mr. C. A. Dozier sold at auction Tues day the lots of Dr. R. B. Adair between Maple and Grove streets. Bidding was Orator Not Yet Selected. The Daughters of the Confederacy have not yet selected an Orator for Memorial day but a committee has been appoihted to confer with some one and secure a speaker. It is probable that this selection will be made sometime next week, and a full program made out. The committees appointed to ar range the different details of the pro gram are at work, and will give the people one that they will enjoy Apri 26th. Fifty Years of Success, Recently the J. C.
