General A. J. Warner and associates
appeared before the city council Tues
day night and asked for franchises for
a street railway system over the streets
of the city of Gainesville for the Gaines
ville and Dahlonega railway company.
The matter was deferred until the

we went to press before action was ta
ken we are unable to state what was
done.
The company proposes to build and v
operate an electric railway upon the
principal streets of this city, and also
to Dahlonega, a distance of . twenty-
five miles. They have secured options
upon seyeral properties on the Chatta

weekj for the first time, in order to test
the boilers recently put in. They were
fopnd to be all right and worked to
perfection. A great many people saw
the smoke boiling; opt of the tall smoke
stack and wondered what was up.
Half of the machinery for the mill has
been ordered to be shipped about the
middle of August, and it is the inten
tion of the company to begin manufac
turing cloth about January 1st. The
shafting and fire extinguishers will be
put up between now and August 1st,
so that nothing will in anyway inter
fere with installing the machinery
when it arrives.
They propose to have car lines

Indications are that there will be a
lively contest for mayor of Gainesville
at the election to be held in December,
when a successor will be chosen to
Mayor R. D. Mitchell. Already the
election is being discussed and several
names have been mentioned in connec

probability the race will narrow down
finally to Judge J, B. Gaston and Mr.
Jno. A. Smith. At all events the con
test will be interesting as the office is
one of much importance, Gainesville
having grown to be one of the best
