Officers Capture Ten Negroes in Bill
Chamblee’s Place.
Bailiffs W. E. Smith and U. G.
Hughes waded right into a den of gam
blers last Sunday afternoon and cap
tured quite a number. Eor some time
complaint has been made to the officers
that negroes congregated at Bill Cham
blee’s restaurant, in the old collar fac
tory, near the Southern depot, and
gambled. East Sunday the above
named officers made a raid on the place
and captured Ed WilKs, Joe Lipscomb,
Andrew Barnes, Pmk Merritt, Toomer
Harper, -Ed Harris, Burrell Mangham,
Charley Frank and Bob Oliver. When
the officers burst into the room, which
is on the second floor, the negroes
scattered, several of them jumping but
of the windows to the ground. Those
captured were locked up.
Monday afternoon two of the num
ber , were- tried before Judge Prior,
were found guilty of gambling, and
were fined $52.55 each, including costs,
or eight months in the chaingang. The
others waived trial by jury and' were
bound over to the May term of the city
court. Those who have not given bond
are now in jail, and the officers have
warrants for other offenders.
W. M. Chamblee, in whose house the
gambling took place, was put under a
$250 bond, to appear at the May term
of the city court, for keeping a gamb
ling house. The officers are determined
to break np this gambling den, and
have made a good start m that" direc
tion.

The Woman’s Best.
Time is daily proving the usefulness
of this institution as ao accommodation
to ladies coming into our town nn busi
ness. Many take adyantage of it. for a
quiet hour of rest, where they can be
perfectly comfortable, deposit their
packages in safety, and see that noth
ing is forgotten of all they had planned
to purchase for home use. Two hun
dred circulars were printed at this of
fice and sent out in February, inviting
onr country friends to stop at The Rest.
Hundreds have responded and hun
dreds more will do so. To all, those
interested in keeping it np extend a
hearty welcome.
In connection with the other advan
tages of The Rest, is the distribution
of books, periodicals and interesting
newspapers free to those who wish
them, with the one request to read and
pass on to some one else. All persons
who have such literature are earnestly
requested to send it to The Rest, where
it will be labeled and given out free * of
all expense. “The Lend-a-Hand Asso
ciation,'’ of Boston, wishes to aid in
this part of onr work as soon as we get
it established. But Gainesville people
only need to be shown the way for good
to be done in order to do it. Send in
all the reading matter you can spare
and help to foster a taste for hooks
among our people.

Gurgling thus, he grinned malevo

laid threatening hands upon an iron
side-stick. The bilious young man
sprang back into the street, without
stopping to close the. door, and a few
moments later informed Agent Terrell
that he had just had a narrow escape
from death up the street, at the hands
of a murderous looking boy who was as
