A Hustling City.
Editor Snow of the Social Circle Seti-
try, who was in Gainesville on a short
visit recently has the following about
the Queen City in the last issue of his
paper:
“We found Gainesville all astir with
business are.; interprise. As is natural
j ier people r.v. - proud of the little city
among the iiills aifiki are loud in tlieir
praise of her educational, manufactur
ing and business enterprises. Espec
ially is Gainesville developing into an
educational centre of considerable
prominence. Accompanied by Mr. -J.
F. Whatley, who is now located there
with the Cable Piano Co., we had the
pleasure of visiting the Semipary and
going through the magnificent $25,060
structure, towering above the gigautie
oaks dn the natural and beautifully
shaded slopes around the building.
The Gainesvilie Chautauqua to be
held there from July 6th to lGth is all
the talk and great preparations are
being made for the occasion. Saturday
July 9th will be Educational day, when
all teachers in North Georgia are in
vited to attend and carry their pupils.
On that day the management will
award & handsome gold medal to the
student making the best speech in a
declamation contest.
Profs. Van Hoose and Pearce have
agreed to give the young lady making
the bess examination in Grammar,
Arithmetic, Geography and History a
year’s tuition and board at the Sem
inary. The examination will be held
at the Seminary on Friday, July 8th,
and no young lady will be allowed to
contest who lives in a town of more
than 1,000 people, or who is advanced
beyond the reshmau class of the Sem
inary.
A persistent pain in the back is in
dicative of disorder in the kidneys.
Diceases in these organs are so rapid
and deadly in their progress they
should not be negleeted for a single
instant. Dr. J. H. McLean s Liver and
Kidney Balm has an established repu
tation among medical men for curing
these diseases. It has in many cases
brought about relief and cure after
the attending physician has exhausted
his resources. Price $1.00 a bottle

The Mulberry Picnic.
One of the most select and pleasant
picnic parties possibly that ever went
out of Gainesville was to the Mulberry
picnic given under the auspices of the
Knights of Pythias on Thursday, June
23rd. The K, of P. band was out and
gave some elegant concerts during the
day. Too much cannot be said of the
kindness of Mr. Rainy, the owner of
the picnic grounds. He certainly did
all in his power to the comfort and
pleasure of all present. Fishing and
boat-riding was indulged in by several.
In the afternoon a special concert by
the K. of P. band and some recitations
by Miss Anna Hill of Gainesyille, and
Miss Blanche Lowry of Carl, Ga., were
very nice indeed. The young ladies
show a marked degree of talent, and
their efforts received hearty applause.
Teachers in Session.
The Hall County Institute has been
in session at the court house all the
week, adjournment being taken yes
terday afternoon. It has been one of
the best institutes ever held, and mueh
good work has been accomplished.
J udge J. B. Estes delivered the address
of welcome Monday morning, and an
address by Mr. W. I. Hobbs, president
of the County Board of Education, fol
lowed. Addresses have been lriade
through the week by State School Com
missioner Glenn, Prof. J. S. Stewart of
Dahlonega, Hon. S. D. Bradwell of the
State Normal School, and others.
County School Commissioner Robert
son and Prof. J. W. Marion, the con
ductor, have worked earnestly for the
success of the Institute. The minutes
of the Institute will be published in
full in The Cracker next week.
Death of a Child.
The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. S. B.
Townfes of Atlanta, died at the Arling
ton hotel Tuesday morning at 10
o’clock. The child was brought here
for treatment but was too near deaths
door for medical assistance to be of any
avail. The remains were sent to Mari
etta Tuesday afternoon for interment.
Business Houses will Close.
The following agreement was signed
by the merchants of Gainesville this
week, Messrs. J. E. Murphy and G. G.
Byers composing the committee which
solicited them to close:

our places of business from 10 o’clock

Not only will the business houses
close, but nearly every one will be pro
fusely decorated with flags and bunt
ing. This is highly appropriate and
shows what interest our people are
taking in the ehautauqua.

No humane person will expect a
horse to work against a sore shoulder,
nor to rest quietly under galling har
ness or saddle. When these troubles
appear the proper method is to remove
the cause of the sore and apply Dr. J.
H. McLean's Volcanic Oil Liniment.
It is a superior remedy for galls and
sores,chafes and burns on animal flesh.
Price 25c, 50c and $1.00 a bottle. For

H*Contemplated Changes on

e U/iped Siway.
Within the next few weeks over one-half of the present
store will be given over to workmen to remodel and pre
pare for a removal of some departments to the new an
nex now being built on Hunter street. This necessitates
stock reducing, and we have decided to make this move
ment one of the greatest opportunities ever afforded
Georgia buyers for buying the various wares in our line
at low prices. Former prices and first cost have not
entered into the consideration of the new and inviting j
prices we now name. Large and ample stocks must be
reduced to a mere nothing. That’s the one thought
the one necessity that has had any weight in the making
of such absurdly low prices at this time. It’s impossible j
to mention every department in an advertisement at this]
character, but only to mention a few of the many thing.'!
affected. Where we name one department therejire
two. where we name one item there are a dozen. Tfe
sale is now in effect, and should you desire to purchase
anything in the lines of Carpets, Furniture or DryGooui
it will richly pay you to write our mail order departmen: j
and get further information and prices. We quote a feWj
