t Judge J. B. Gaston Was There.
Judge J. B. Gaston returned Thurs
day morning from Washington where
he has been since Sunday. He was
present upon General Lee’s arrival and
says the demonstration accorded him
surpasses any that ever occurred at
the national capitol. “Any man wduld
be proud of such au oration,” said Judge
Gaston, “for it was undoubtedly great
er than that ever given a president.
Thousands upon thousands cheered,
and it was next to impossible to get
nearer than a quarter of a mile to the
train upon which General Lee arrived.
Washington was wild and I never saw
such a demonstration in my life.”
Death of Mrs. Frank Davie.
The sad death of Mrs. Frank T. Da-
Davie oceured at Flowery Branch Mon
day morning at 11 o’clock. The news
was the occasion of great sorrow in
Gainesville where Mr. and Mrs. Davie
are well known and esteemed. The
deceased was a Miss Medlock of Nor-
cross and was of a prominent family
well known iu this section of the state.
She was a consistent Christian and was
a member of the Methodist church.
Her union with her husband was a
happy one, and her sudden death is the
cause of universal sorrow. The funer
al services were held at Flowery
Branch Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock
by her pastor,-Rev. J. S. Balis. A large
concourse of people gathered to pay a
last tribute to her, whom they had
loved in life. Quite a number from
Gainesville attended the funeral.

. ABOUT TOWN.
The Rev. Mr. White, pastor of the
Gainesville Methodist church, began a
protracted meeting in that city Sunday,
says Miss Martha Goode in last Satur
day’s Atlanta Journal. In his opening
remarks Mr. White said: “Brethren,
let us try to put aside for a short while
at least, all thoughts of the great ex
citement sweeping over our land, and
let us strive for that immortal peace
which passeth understanding. We can
all remember that if we cannot go to
the front and be soldiers in the war,
we can stay at home and be brave sol
diers of the Cross.” Mr. White’s sug
gestion to his congregation will find a
responsive appreciation in many hearts
not only in Georgia, but throughout
the United States.
Apropos of revivals the Christian
people of Gainesville are enjoying a
series of protracted meetings which
have not been exceeded in interest in
quite awhile. At the Methodist and
Baptist churches good congregations
assemble twice a day to attend the ser
vices now being conducted by the con
secrated ministers of the gospel. In
terest is being taken by outsiders as
well as the members of the churches
and great good is being done. The
churches are being revived and many
conversions have been made. Rev. J.
A. Wynne, pastor of the First Baptist
church, is*-being assisted by Dr. Mal-
com McGregor of Atlanta, a minister of
force and power. Dr. McGregor’s ser
mons have been heard by attentive
listeners and he is doing a good work.
Revs. Stanton and Little have been as
sisting pastor White at the First Meth
odist church for two weeks, and their
visit to Gainesville has been productive
of much good. The meetings at the
Baptist church will continue through
next week, and the services at the
Methodist church will probably con
tinue several days.
The editor of the Waycross Herald
seems to have it in for General Long-
street. Judge Perham was a gallant
Confederate but is too harsh on the
General. He says: “General Longstreet
says he is ready to lead old Confed
erates to the front again. Not much,
Mr. Longstreet, you deserted us once,
and no respectable Southern man will
enlist under your banner. You’d go to
the Spaniards for a bag of gold. We
prefer to do our fighting under such
men as Fitzhugh Lee.”
The census enumerators are at work
in the city and m the county. Mr. G.
R. Cochran is taking a census of the
city and will finish his work m another
week probably. There are eighteen
districts in the county and there is an
enumerator for each district. As the
reports from each must be in by the
first of May, the enumerators will be
kept hustling for the next two weeks.
Last Sunday was Easter but the rain
kept most of the nice new hats and
suits indoors. A few ventured out,
however, though they looked a little
uncomfortably lonely. The custom of
Coming’ out in new spring dress on
Raster has come down from several
generations, and it is likely to be kept
up. There is nothing wrong about it,
and it affords many people pleasure.
The machinery for the ice plant
being erected by Messrs. Martin and
Hunt arrived several days ago and is
being put in place. There is a big pile
of machinery and apparatus and to
many who have never seen an ice fac
tory it has been viewed with great in
terest. The work of putting it up is
going ahead rapidly and the plant is
expected to be in operation in less than
thirty days.
Mi*. J. W. Birch was in the city this
week and brought in some beautfful
specimens of gold obtained from his
last “clean up” at his dredge boat on
the Chestatee river near Auraria. One
nugget weighing twenty-one penny
weights was picked up and this goes to
show the Chestatee is lined with the
precious metal. Thousands of dollars
have been taken out of the river and
Messrs. T. N. and J. W. Birch are now
successfully operating their dredge
boat.
The Gainesyille postoffice has been
made an international money order
office, and money can now be trans
mitted by this means to thirty-eight
different countries. This is something
new and the government is improving
this part of its service every year.
Money orders cost for foreign countries
about in proportion to the increase in
foreign postage, the scale being about
the same. The order making the office
here an international money order
office was received a few days ago.
Colonel Farrow thinks this part, of the
business of the office will gradually
grow and become as large as any other
part of the foreign business. It is a
safe and safisiaetory means of trans
mitting* money.
Mr. R. L. Puckett brought to town
the other day a very curious specimen
of petrified rock, which was found in a
field near Odel’s by his brother, Mr.’ M.
W. Puckett, It is in the shape of a
shark’s tcotli, which several have pro
nounced it to be. It also looks some

Our Spring Opening was a grand success. Our store v as literally
thronged from early morn till night. We only scate facts when we
say that more people visited our store on our opening days than was
ever known to visit any one store in Gainesville before, and we feel
doubly repaid for our efforts by the many kind words and compli
ments received from our friends and the public generally, and while
our “Opening” is over, you will always find our store equally as at
tractive from day to day.
what like the lower jaw of an ostrich.
No doubt it has been petrified for
years. How it ever came to be found
so far from the ocean if it was a shark’s
tooth, or how an ostrich's jaw ever
found its way up here is a mystery.
Prof. C. J. Wallace’s new march dedi
cated to Hon, Allen D. Candler, and

first of next week. The m^*ch is a
beautiful one and those wno Jiaye
heard it pronounce it very fine. Prof.
Wallace is continually winning new
laurels and adding to his already ex
cellent reputation as a musician.
Young Matrons Club.
Quite the most charming afternoon
reception imaginable was that given»by
Mrs. R. H. Smith on Saturday
at her home on Green street from
four till six o’clock. Fair lilies, sug
gestive of the glad Easter time, droop
ed their snowy heads from every side,
and were especially lovely wreathed
around the lemonade bowl, so grace
fully presided over by Miss Montine
Sanders. Green wax candles held by
handsome old caldelabras, shed a soft,
fairy like radiance over the enchanting
scene and lit up the animated faces of
the stylishly gowned matrons immersed
in the exciting game prepared for their
diversion by the thoughtful hostess.
It was closely contested by four ladies
but finally won by Mrs. Clark, who
received a life size Easter rabbit—a
beauty worth winning. Another at
tractive feature was guessing the num
ber of eggs in a fern and lily covered
basket suspended from the chandelier,
which resulted in a tie and was then
drawp by Mrs. Crawford. The favor
was the cutest of downy chicks, “just
out.” The menu which was served in
three courses proved a feast to the
appetites and a delight to the artistic
sense as well, and a most pleasing touch
of sentiment was the opening and find
ing kiss verses in dainty candy eggs
wrapped in green tissue paper. Later
as the guests departed, souvenirs,
hand-painted eggs, -were presented
them, and all were unanimous in their
praise of the gracious hospitality of the
delightful hostess, who possesses a
quaint, individual charm of manner
peculiarly her own. Those present
were: Mrs. R. H. Smith, Mrs. C. C.
Sanders, Mrs. E. E. Dixon, Mrs. Col.
Perry, Mrs. Oliver, Mrs. Dr. Bailey,
Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Rudolph, Mrs. Joe
Boone, Mrs. H. N. Merck, Mrs. Howard
Thompson, Miss Alice Daniel, Miss
Montine Sanders, Mrs. Clifton Boone,
Mrs. J. W. Smith, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs.
Judge Estes, Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Clark,
Mrs. Judge Prior and Mrs,, Rigsby.

Col. W. P. Price Hurt.
Colonel W. P. Price happened to a
very painful accident while returning
from Gainesville to Dahlonega a few
days ago. He was occuying the rear
seat and while coming up a steep hill
the horses gave a quick jerk, throwing
Colonel Price out of the hack backward.
He was able to travel on to Dahlonegfa,
but took his bed after reaching home,
Colonel Price Weighs 265 poutids and it
is a wonder the fall did not break some
bf his bones. He is improving slowly
and will probably be well again in a
few days.
Mr. John Reynolds Dead.
Mr. John W. Reynolds died at his
home near White Sulphur Springs
Monday night at 9 o’clock after a long
illness. He was perhaps the oldest
man in Hall county, being over ninety-
three years of age. He has resided in
the county and has has lived uear
White Sulphur Springs almost all his
life. Mr. Reynolds was well known
and esteemed by everybody that knew
him. The funeral occurred at Air Line
church Wednesday morning at 11
o’clock and was largely attended.
