BUSH IS FREE.
Mr. H. H. Rush, who. was charged
with larceny after trust and convicted
at the July term of the Superior court
of this offense, has paid the debt and
made full restitution to the prosecutor.
Upon the representation of these facts
to Judge J. J. Kimsey he set aside the
sentence and Mr. Bush was released
yesterday from imprisonment at the
great satisfaction of his friends, and

OPENING SLAUGHTER SALE!
We open to-day our GRAND CUT-PRICE Sale, applying not only to CLOTHING, HATS and
SHOES, but every department shall share the same fate. From present indications the price of cotton
will be low and the people will spend their money sparingly. Our stock is too heavy to take chances on.
We can’t afford to wait for big profits, but propose to begin NOW to unload, that every man, woman and
child in North Georgia may learn where a dollar will buy the most goods. Our two large stores, con
taining almost an acre of floor space, are WELL FILLED from bottom to top, and must be unloaded
at whatever prion they will bring.
President E. E. Dixon of the Asso
ciation of County Commissioners of
Roads and Revenues of Georgia, has ap
pointed delegates to the road parlia
ment that meets m Omaha on the 9th
of this month. Mr. Dixon made the
appointments at the request of the
road department of the United States
government, which lias recognized the
organization of commissioners iu this
state.
There is a large number of delegates
appointed by the president, and it is
expected that a number of them will
attend the 'parliament, which haS as a
purpose the building of good roads
through all parts of the country. Im
portant questions relating to the con
struction of roads and the best meth
ods to be used in different parts of tne
country will be discu^Sed*. 1
It is believed that the meeting of the
delegates from every state in the union
will be the beginning of a great work
that will largely carry out the purpose
of the county commissionees in this
and other states. The county com
missioners of of Georgia, at their last
annual convention, had the question’of
good roads before them and this sub
ject formed one of the principal topics
of discussion.
President Dixon and Mr. F. T. Davie
will represent the Hall county board of
com missioners.
An Insurance War.
There is an insurance war on in
Gainesville. It has been quite inter
esting for some days and nas reached
such a heat that the South Eastern
Tariff Association has declared all
rates off, and the bars have been
pulled down. The local agents of the
companies are in for a fight to the fin
ish, and insurance has. herhaps, never
been written at such a low rate in
Gainesville before. The outcome of
the fight will be a waited with much
interest. It has reached the point
where a person can have .property in
sured at any rate desired. All that is
necessary is to consult the agents and
each will cut under the other. A num
ber of policy holders whose premiums
had been paid up. have had their rate
re-adjusted, the agents refunding the
amount of the premium pn the old rate.
A number of special agents have been
in the city this week taking a hand in
the fight. __

augurated by the J. G. Hynds Company

preciation of their customers. Read
