Record of proceedings of meeting ~of
She mayor and council of the city of
Gainesville, Georgia, Held at the city
dall, June 21st, 1901 : Whereas, the
Gainesville & Dahlonega Electric Rail
way Company, a corporation duly ebar-
* ered under the laws of the state of
Georgia, by its president, has petitioned
die mayor and council of the city of
-Gainesville, Georgia, for the right to
ay its track or tracks on and along
ertain streets in said city of Games-
ille, to-wit: On and along Washing-
>n street from the point where the old
Price line” or grade crosses said street,
ast the public square to North Prior
treet ; thence along North Prior street
q Spring street; thence along* Spring
street towards the Pacolet mills to the
tfity limits ; also, from the depot of the
build it. A right-of-way has been
practically secured for the road be
tween Gainesville and Dahlonega.
General Warner has recently been east
and says there is no trouble ab«ut
building the line, so far as money is
concerned, as the company can get all
it needs., If built, this end of the line
and the system for this city must be
completed first.
General Warner and his associates
have been over the city and have se
lected the streets over which they de
sire to build the road. They have also
selected the routes to the cotton mills
and the sides of the streets they desire
to occupy. They are negotiating with
Mr. D. E. Evans to buy his car line, and
are also conferring with different par
ties as to acquiring power at the Chat
tahoochee river.
A street car system is much desired
for this city, and the people hope this
company will lose no time in building
it.
From the root of the pretty flower
known as white bryony can be made a
decoction which acts with magical ef
fect In curing bruises of all descrip
tions. It Is said to be peculiarly effi
cacious in healing a blackened eye.
TkoBfkt to BriBK Good lack
Their Chin«i« Owners.
It is the desire of every Chinaman’s
heart to possess a pair of magic brace*
lets. Arm rings or bracelets are
thought a great deal of in the Celestial
empire, the custom of wearing them
having been handed down from time
Immemorial. Usually made of jade
sLone, the Chinese arm ring of today
Is of one Invariable shape. It looks
like a large martingale.
The Chinese word for jade is ngook-
seu and for jade arm ring or bracelet
ngook-ak. The custom in China is to
place the bracelet on a young man’s
arm just before the hand stops grow
ing. A tight fit is usually secured, and
once placed the amulet arm ring Is
worn throughout life. At death, If the
bracelet has proTed a lucky one and
if there is a son whom It will fit, the
bones In the old man’s hand are bro
ken and the bracelet removed.
Many are the marvelous tales told
by the Chinese of the wonderful quail-
ties these amulets possess. There is a
tradition that a certain Chinese em
peror who was stricken with paraly
sis wore upon his forearm a magic
bracelet, which kept life in that mem
ber for many months and allowed him
to make known his desires and decrees
by writing. At last, when death
claimed the emperor, something even
more wonderful took place. Dead three
days and lying In state, his body was
betng viewed by the priests. The ad
visability of removing the bracelet was
being considered, when the hand was
lifted up and gave a signal which they
interpreted to mean the bracelet
should go with Its owner to the tomb.
Among other wonderful properties a
good amulet is said to act as a fairly
reliable barometer. —- Cincinnati En-
