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 ae of the handsomest itended the reunion. sponsors that WINK TAYLOR KILLED. hot by a Guestat Oaks Hotel, Ashyille, N. C. Tuesday.

T We believe they do; think of the arriages that will occur during the sixty days and which are secrets )w - It is no secret, however, who is ‘graving all the fashionable inyita- 5as ior marriages in Georgia now. If >u are thinking of getting married or visiting cards send to J. P. Stev 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.

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. morning at six o’clock.
