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. Finest line of teas in the city. Call and see what I have. Will Summer. . 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 J. E. MURPHY CO. 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 called “Candler March” will he out in a few days. It is expected to come from the hands of the publisher the 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. Genuine South Georgia Ribbon Cane Syrup 35 cents gallon at Will Sum mer’s. 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.
