The 'Gainesville District Conference

profitable one. In the absence of

The members of these bodies were a+o
comnanied bv a !ar?e crowd of their
friends who went to join in the festivi
ties of the great reunion. Nearly j
hundred tickets were sold at Gaiates-
ville to Atlanta which were used Tues
day. Wednesday and Thursday, the
greater portion of the crowd going-
down Wednesday'.
The Confederate Veterans carried a
big crowd. Veterans came in from all
over the county, and many from Lump
kin. White and other comities came
down and went with the Longstreet
camp. General Long-street went from
here with this camp, and many hoDors
were accorded him at the reunion.
The Daughters of the Confederacy.in
charge of Mrs. S. C. Dunlap, president:
of the Longstreet chapter, went down.
The following- were the regularly elec
ted delegates, but many others went;
Mrs. J. R.. Boone, Mrs. T. Moreno and
Miss Sul lie Candler.
The Captain Mitchell camp, Sons of
Veterans, went down about thirty
strong and was in charge of Comman-
ier Phil Simmons. '*
Many who were not members <©f any
of the camps or chapters went to At
lanta to attend the reunion. A ra’te of
$1.05 round trip was made by the South
ern from Gainesville and many took
advantage of the low rate to go to At
lanta.
It is estimated that at least 50,000
veterans and visitors were in Atlanta
Wednesday to attend the reunion. It
is possible that so many visitors were
never in the city at one time before. The
reunion exercises were held at Piedmont
Park, in an immense auditorium.
Great throngs of veterans were there
and all of the prominent generals of the
Confederacy. Generals Gordon, Steph
en D. Lee, Clemant A. Evans, Charles
E. Hooker, George Moorman, W. L.
Cabell, J. S. Dickinson,Robert A- Smith,
M. J. Fulger, G. C. Wharton, John M.
Stone, William Miller, and hosts of
others were there and were given ova
tions by the men who followed them in
the stirring days of 1861-’65. General
Gordon is commander in chief of the
United Confederate Veterans.
Atlanta was gaily decorated for the
occasion and took the best possible
care of the great crowd. It was fear
fully hot and many people suffered
from the terifie heat. The Gainesville
delegation fared well, and all who
went enjoyed the great occasion. Miss
Georgia Gaston was sponsor for the
Longstreet Camp of Veterans, and was
to preside Rey. M. L. Underwood, Pre
siding dDlder, of the district presided
withvcredit to himself, and satisfaction
to thedon fere nee.
•.Thenterns of the discipline viz., Spir
itual "-Stete of the Church, Finances,
Missions, Sunday-schools, Education,,
and Epworth Leagues were given care
ful attention. The reports of pastors
were in the main encouraging, yet all
•reported the conditions of their charges
as being far from what they ought to
be. The financics were behind, the
best reports coming from those places
that use disciplinary' methods; Sunday-
school interests very good, not more
than half dozen churches in the district
without a school. The Epworth League
interest was shown to be very good and
the number of Leagues had increased
during the year. Education and tem
perance was considered with earnest
talks and good resolutions.
Rev. J. E. Dickey of Emory College,
Pres. Robinson of Young Harris, Rey.
"H. M. Smith of La Grange and Prof.
H. J. Pearce of Gainesville represent
ed the educational interests.
Miss Emily Allen represented The
Home Mission Society. The object of
which, is to build parsonages and
assist needy church schools. Her talk
had a wholesome effect on those who
heard it; it was an eye opener.
The preaching was good. The ser
mon of Rev. J. E. Dickey was a notable
one, and will live in the hearts and
consciences of all who heard it. A. A.
Camp of Winder, T. P. Hudson of
Gainesville, P. F. Connally of Norcross,
G. ft. Napier of Monroe, were elected
delegates to the Annual Conference
that meets in Augusta November.
The conference passed resolutions
thanking the good people of Winder for
their generous hospitality. It was the
opinion of all who attended that it w r as
a good District Conference. The con
ference will be held at Logansville in
1899. 1

COMING AGAIN.
Dr, J. Harvey Moore Will be at the
Arlington Hotel in Gaines
ville Friday and Sat
urday, July 29
and 30.
One thing that occurred the last
week in -June deserves particular men
tion. We refer to the visit of Dr. J.
Harvey Moore, the well known eye,
ear, throat and catarrh specialist of
Atlanta. When he opened his offices
Friday June 36. he found many people
at the hotel waiting for him, and his
rooms were thronged all the time he
was in the eity with the people who
were anxious - to avail themselves of
this opportunity to consult him with
out the expense of a visit to Atlanta.
As he had to be in his office in Atlanta
Monday morning to attend to his home
practice, he took the Saturday tram
for Atlanta.
Our best known professional and
business men called on him and paid
their respects and welcomed him to our
city.
What seemed to impress the people
as much as anything was the careful
and thorough examinations he made
and the consideration he showed to
the poor and afficted. Another was his
candor in telling several they were in
curable and refusing to take their cases
or their money.
His .reputation as an honest man and
an exceedingly skillful physician is fast
being thoroughly established all over
the South and particularly in Georgia,
his native state.
It will be good news to those who
were unable to consult him before that
he is coming again to Gainesville, and
will be at the Arlington hotel Friday
and Saturday July 29 and 30.
v It has been Dr. Moore’s custom to
close his office every summer and take
vacation, but lie will not do so this
> & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., for samples year. He can bd found at his office,

J. Q. Hynds Mfg. Co.’s
Midsummer Clearance Sale of
Hall Superior court convened in July
session Monday morning Judge J. J-
Kimsey presiding. After the organiza
tion of the court Judge Kimsey deliv
ered an able charge to the grand jury
and that body retired to its room and ;
selected Dr. R. E. Green as foreman,
and Mr. as secretary.
The first business of the grand jury
was to indict for murder Henry Roark,
who shot and killed Ernest Findley at
New Bridge on Sunday July 3. The
case will be sounded Monday in the
Superior court and as Judge Kimsey is
disqualified he will secure some other
judge to try the case.
Several cases of minor importance
were tried by Judge Kimsey Monday
and Tuesday, and on Tuesday after
noon court adjourned until Monday
morning at 9 o’clock, to allow veterans
and sons of veterans to attend the con
federate reunion in Atlanta. The
grand jury will also convene again
Monday morning, and both panels of
traverse jurors are ordered to appear
at court at that time.
A true bill which was returned by
the grand" jury Tuesday afternoon an 1
which is of special interest is that
against H. Hedley Bush for larceny after
trust. The case is fresh in the minds of
the public having excited no little in
terest last January. It will he remem
bered that Messrs. T. C. Parker, B. C.
Epperson and others of Macon, put
$5,000 in the Evelyn Gold Mining Go., of
Hall county, and they charged 1>hat H.
Hedley Bush, who wax ooe of the offi
cers of the company, misapprqpriated
the money. Bush was arrested at the
time and after being kept under guard
at the Hunt house some weeks was put
under a bond of $1,000 for hisappear-
ance at the July teyn of court. Mes
srs. Parker and Epperson were here
Tuesday and went before the grand
jury, and a hill was returned against
Bush charging him with larceny after
trust. The case has been set for hear
ing next Wednesday, July 27th. ’ -No
little interest is manifested m the out
come of the case, Bush is still under
bond and will appear for trial next
Wednesday. Bush maintains his inno
cence and says he will come out all
right. He is represented by Messrs.
Johnson <fe Dorsey, and. the plaintiffs
have as counsel, Messrs. Dean &
Hobbs.
A large crowd was here Monday and
Tuesday to attend court. The farmers
have about laid by then* crops and
many took advantage of the opportun
ity to visit court. A number of impor
tant cases will come up for hearing
next week, and large crowds will be
here.
Probably the most interesting case
is that of Henry Roark charged with
the murder of Ernest Findley. It is
expected that some sensational details
will be brought out at the trial, and
both sides will put up a strong fight.
