•ABOUT TOWN.
There is a scarcity of chickens and
eggs on the market, and has been for
two or three weeks. This is occasioned
by the unusual demand for shipments
to Cuba. During the past few weeks
there has been a flood of orders received
by Gainesville produce dealers from
commission men in Tampa and Key
West. The orders have been filled as
fast as possible but there have not been
enough chickens on the local market to
near supply the demand. “Fries” are
not to be had at any price while “hens”
bring twenty-five cents easily. Eggs
are worth ten cents per dozen, but the
demand for them is not so great.
The city authorities will sprinkle the
streets this summer—this has been pos
itively decided on, the only question
now remaining.is the way in which it
will be paid for. It is believed now
that the city will do it by popular sub
scription, each property owner or ten
ant paying so much per month for
sprinkling in front of his or her premi
ses. The matter has been referred to
the proper committee, of which Air. Ed
F. Little, alderman from the third ward
is chairman. Air. Little will decide on
a plan and submit it to council now
very soon, and the people can rest
assured that the streets will he sprink
led this summer as often as is necessary.
Air. J. D. Bagwell, of the Bagwell
& Gower Alanufacturmg Company, is
off on a two weeks trip selling vehicles.
He will visit the territory from Gaines
ville down through Aliddie Georgia and
no doubt will sell a large number of
the excellent vehicles manufactured by
this well known firm. The sales of
this firm are increasing every year and
their vehicles are being used m great
quantities everywhere. The company
has gone out of the retail businesss and
is now wholesaling strictly. The re
tail business is being carried on by Mr.
Bagwell, who recently moved here
from Flowery Branch.
The lodg-e rooms of the Aiasons and
Odd Fellows in the Dean building are
rapidly nearing’ completion and the
two orders will move into them now in
a short time. Alore conveniently ar
ranged or better lodge rooms are hard
to find, and the two fraternities of;
Gainesville should feel proud of their
new quarters. The Masons will occupy
the front room in the building, and the
Odd Fellows the rear room. The ante
rooms are nice and convenient, and the
fraternities will jointly use a long
and conveniently arranged banquet
hail in the front end of the building.
AUog-ether the arrangement of the
lodge rooms is just what the members
have long wanted.
Several visiting Masons from Flowery
Branch, Odells, Jefferson and other
points were in the city Tuesday night
to attend the regular communication
of Gainesville Lodge .210, F. and A. M.
Work in Master's degree and other im
portant business was* transacted, and
the meeting was of special interest.
This fraternity has a kfrge member
ship and several candidates were
initiated into the mysteries of the or
der Tuesday night. There was a full
attendance of the members, and every
thing passed off very pleasantly.
With clock-like regularity the reve
nue officers make their visits to tlie
rendezvous of the moonshiner, and
nearly every day Commissioner Gaston
has some maker of “mountain dew”
before him. Deputy Collector E. L.
Bergstrom, whose headquarters are in
Gainesville, has been devoting liis time
to the cigar factories and such things
to see about licenses and taxes since
the first of the month. These officers
usually devote the first ten days of the
month to an inspection of these facto
ries where internal revenue is collected.
They are very careful and the man who
escapes their keen eye is sharp indeed.
The moonshiner always takes his
“catch” philosophically and never
murmurs.
A good story is told on Colonel C. C.
Sanders by a gentleman well known to
the readers of the Cracker whose name
is withheld for personal reasons.
Colonel Sanders at one time did quite
a supply business here and sold goods
on time to a large number of customers
all over this section of Northeast Geor
gia. He knows nearly everybody in
this section and frequently meets old
customers of »his whom he has not seen
for perhaps several years. As his busi
ness was quite ex‘e isive of course some
of his customers, through misfortune
or otherwise, failed to pay him. The
other day Colonel Sanders met an old
darkey who lived up in the mountains
and in the course of the conversation
the Colonel asked him if he knew such
and such a man who formerly lived at
a certain place. The old darkey
thought a moment, scratched his head
and replied: “Oh, yes,Colonel,wer’nt he
de man wliut writ you he’p pay yer in
fer, an’ if dat didn’t do he’d pay yer in
fudder?” Colonel Sanders-had to ac
knowledge the corn, and replied that
.theman had gone so far he never heard
of him any more.
Dr. J. W. Bailey is now riding out in
a bran new buggy, which surpasses
the former efforts of Messrs. G, W.
Walker & Son for simplicity and beauty
in the makeup of vehicles of like char
acter. It was built to order, and Dr.
Bailey may well feel proud of his new
pleasure giving vehicle. Judge J. B.
Estes is also having a nice surrey made,
and will soon he enjoying the pleasure
of a ride in a beautiful vehicle. It is
light and easy running, and is built for
either one or two seats. Alessrs. G. W.
Walker & Son are also putting up this
vehicle.
Arrested in Atlanta.
Several weeks ago a young white
man representing himself as A. H. Cul
ver was in Gainesville, ostensibly to
take orders for enlargingpictures. He
worked around the city several days
and while taking orders also rep
resented himself as a collector for the
L. B. Price Company of St. Louis.
The agent of the company had recently
been here selling clocks on the install
ment plan, and this man Culver went
around to the parties having the clocks
and tried to collect a dollar on each
one. If the par u y refused he would
take the clock, and in this way he got
five which he sold to Air. M. F. Fortson
for $10, less than half what they
were worth. It seems that the com
pany heard of the man’s operations
and set upon a method of catching him.
He was traced from Gainesville to Chat
tanooga, and hack to Atlanta where he
was arrested the first of the week.
Tuesday Mr. Fortson was telegraphed
to come to Atlanta where he identified"
the man in jail. He had been going
under the name of George Bradford,
alias Blanford, alias A. W. Culver.
No disposition has yet been made of the
case.
At First Baptist Church.
Rev. G. W. Townsend filled the pul
pit at the First Baptist church last
Sunday morning’ and evening, preach
ing to good congregations. He is an
eloquent prCficher and his hearers were
pleased with his sermons. To-morrow
a series of meetings begin at tlie church
and will continue for, perhaps, two or
three weeks. Rev. J. A. Wynne, the
pastor, will be assisted by Rev. Alalcom
AIcGregor, D. D., of Atlanta, who is an
able preacher. A new organ has
recently been put in the church and
good music will lie rendered during tlie
revival. The meeting promises to be
productive of much good.
Finest line of teas in the city. Call
and see what I have. Will Summer.
Want Fifty Thousand Chickens.
The Hynds Company wants fifty
thousand chickens for the Cuban suf
ferers. They will pay the highest mar
ket prices for them and the people of
this entire section are requested to
carry them to the Hynds company.
Tlie readers of the Cracker are also re
quested to examine he prices the com
pany is making and giye them a share j
of their patronage.
Revival in Progress.
Revival services were begun at the
First Methodist church last Sunday,
Rev. E. M. Stanton preaching the first
sermon. Rev. J. II. Little is also doing-
some very valuable work in the meet
ing, and great interest is being taken
in the revival by the church and peo
ple. The pastor, Rev. J. AI. White, is
not physically able to take a prominent
part in the meetings as he would like
to. Two meetings a day are held at
10 a. m. and 8 p. m. Everybody is in
vited.
Genuine South Georgia Ribbon Cane

Mr. J. H. Williamson received postal
card notice from chairman of water
board of the city a day or two ago,
saying in substance that he was charged
with using city water from some hy
drant in the city, and that if he had
used any, either much or little, that he
was liable to the city for it. He re
plied that he had only used one bucket
of water for which he had paid seventy-
five cents, and if this amount did not
square the account he would try and
get up the balance and square it. He
caug’ht enough rain water in a bucket
the early part of this week to last him
until Saturday night.
