Rumors of peace negotiations
are rife. It may be that there is
nothing in the rumors.
An exchange believes we may
have Madrid as well as Manila,
Santiago, Porto Rico, and Havana.
Perhaps Camara merely sailed
away to satisfy himself that there
really was such a thing as the Suez
canal.
Colonel Candler spoke in Frank
lin county Monday and was given
a rousing reception. Many popu
lists were converted and came back
into the Democratic fold.
The Louisville Evening Post
says: “The ripening wheat fields
are singing a glad song to farmers
and soon the golden grain will be
turned to golden dollars.
A financial journal says:
“Shells are used in various parts
of the world as money.” They
seem to have been a matter of
current exchange in Santiago.
You have now seen the begin
ning of the chautauqua with its
attractive features. Now, go to
every entertainment the coming
week, enjoy yourself and help on
this great movement.

A telegram was received by Under
taker Dorsey at 4 o’clock yesterday
afternoon that Mr. Zack Suddath was
murdered under the Lula bridge. No
particulars were given but it is pre
sumed that he was fishiDg theie and
someone murdered him for his money.
It was reported yesterday afternoon
that this was the purpose of the mur
der, and that a posse was in pursuit of
the robbers. Mr. Suddath was about
45 years old and xvas one of the most
prominent citizens in the county.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP OF FIGS
In company with a meriy group of
pedagogues the writer had the exqui
site pleasure ou Tuesday of last week
participating of the bountiful repast
spread for the “Knights ot Rod" by
Mr. G. R. Cochran at the home of Mrs.
Caldwell, a lady of rare gifts and at
tainments. Here we met the beauti
ful and accomplished Texas elocution
ist who favored the teachers and elite
of Gainesville with one of her ex
ceedingly humorous recitations, telling
why “She should never forget them
oxens.” Texas must indeed be a great
state if it is peopled with such girls
of such engaging qualities of head and
heart.
Every year Bob gives a sumptuous
dinner to the male portion of the teach
er fraternity. Just why he does not ex
tend this invitation to the other side of
the profession, no one but himself
knows. It could not possibly be sel
fishness, for that is as foreign to him as
the^ antipodes.
Long live Robert! Long live our
commissioner! Long live the great
hearted band of professors who gather
ed around the laden board on that
happy occasion. May they be spared a
thousand years more or less, to partake
of the delectable loye-feasts which our
worthy and esteemed brother spreads
annually before their bewildered and
enraptured gaze. Frater.

How He Conferred an Honor Upon HM
Friend, Senator Fessenden.
The old senator was a great story
teller and related many interesting and
humorous accounts of what he had seen
in public life. One of his favorite sto
ries was at the expense of Senator Fes
senden, a warm personal friend. The
judge and Senator Fessenden had been
appointed on a commission, with several
others, to treat with the various chiefs
of the Sioux Nation on an important In
dian question of the day. It was long
before railways had been introduced
into the far west, and the members of
the commission had to travel on horse
back. Judge Doolittle was chairman of
the commission, but at the conference
shifted that duty to the shoulders of
Senator Fessenden. The latter was high
ly pleased at the nonor conferred on him
and much “puffed up” in consequence.
The judge had method in his madness,
however, for he had heard of the pe
culiar reception tendered by the Indians
to the spokesman cf any party of visit
ing whites.
At the appointed time the two parties
to the conference congregated. There
wer8 probably 200 Indian chiefs present,
with their wives. Senator Fessenden
advanced to do the honors for the com
missioners, when, to his dismay, the
whole body of Indiana, squaws and all,
advanced and, after embracing the
chairman, gave him, according to theif
custom, a welcoming kiss. Judge Doo
little often said he thought that Fessen
den never forgave him for the trick.—

DO GIRLS KEEP SECRETS?
We believe they do; think of the
marriages that will occur during the
next sixty days and which are secrets
now. It is no secret, however, who is
engraving all the fashionable invita

you are thinking of getting married or
need visiting cards send to J. P. Stev

and prices. Invitations executed in

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with \vhich it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

The Confederate Veterans held quite
an interesting meeting at courthouse
last Tuesdav. They were making prep
arations to go to Atlanta on July 20 to
attend the reunion. All the camps
have been requested to furnish supplies
to help feed the visitors who may go to
Atlanta. It was decided to send in to
C. C. MeEver assistant commissary,
such as flour, meat, potatoes,hams, eggs
and other such farm products as could
be spai ed. These must be brought in
by July 13th so as to be shipped by the
18th. Don’t fail to attend to this. Miss
Georgia Gaston was elected as maid of
honor to represent Longstreet camp at
reunion. Badges can be had by call ing
at office of H. B. Smith. The railroad
fare will be one cent a mile each way.
This means $1.60 for round trip from
Gainesville. Let every veteran go to
Atlanta. This will be the last for
many of us.
