Mrs. James P. Evans Dead.
Mrs. James P. Evans die*l at the
home of her husband in Athens last
Saturday morning- at 6 o’clock of heart
disease. Her death was unexpected
and carried great grief to her family,
relatives and friends.
Mrs. Evans was the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs, Warren A. Brown, of Athens,
and a granddaughter of the late Key.
Nathan Hoyt, who for thirty-six years
was pastor of the Presbyterian church
of that city. She was the sister of
Hon. Edward T. Brown, of Athens,
and Mrs. W. J. Henderson, of Atlanta.
Until a year, ago Mrs. Evans lived
here but moved with her husband at
that time 1 to Athens where he entered
business with the Gainesville Shoe
Store. She leaves a husband and five
children to mourn her death.
Funeral, sendees were conducted at
Athens Saturday afternoon and her re
mains were then brought here for
interment. At the Presbyterian church
in tins city at 11 o’clock Sunday morn-
iug services were held, conducted by
Prodigals at Home.
Two Gainesville boys have had an
interesting time this week. They are
Charles Perry and Fred Finger, sons of
Col. H. H. Perry and Mr. L, F. Finger
respectiyely. It is said that the boys
had a desire to join the navy and with
that purpose in view left their homes
in this city Monday and made for the
seacoast. They went down the G. J. &
S. railroad to Winder and from thence
to Athens, where they were located by
their relatives. Col. H. H. Perry
went to Athens. Tuesday and found
them and brought the boys home.
They had a rather' tough experi
ence roughing * it while they
were away and doubtless have
enough experience to. make'them ap
preciate home and friends. Their
families were very much exercised by
the departure of the hoys and as soon
as it was discovered that they had
gone immediately instituted a search
for them.< The authorities in the dif
ferent towns and cities were, notified
to keep a watch out for the boys, take
them in charge and notify their rela
tives that they* might J be returned to
their homes. -Their location, at Athens
was a great relief to the families. ;

Jg ,,, a l weeks ago to the effect that the

been agreed upon for the place, and

Candler.

HI time, Gen. Evans, who was the .only

j There is no doubt that pressure has

jof the opinion that there has not been
[enough of a pull exerted so far to ac-

Blind Tigers Caught.
r Something of a'sensation wks created
among the blind tigers this week when
nine of them wore jerked up before the
mayor. Eight of. the . parties were
found guilty and. the fines and costs-,
amounted in the aggregate to $90. The
cases were wdrked up by a man named
F. W. Monroe, who came to the city
last Thursday. He was employed by
the city and at once. commenced his
work- By Monday morning he had
nine cases made and they came up for
trial Monday afternoon and Tuesday^
In every case but one a conviction
was. secured and the treasury of the
City was somewhat, .increased by the
amount turned in by the law breakers,.
Who are mad- as Jblazes because they
were caught. Of the cases six were-
negroes and two were whites.
