SCHOOL BEGINS-
The public schools of the ci

ance. Monday was devoted to a
pstematic arrangement and clas-
lification of the pupils and was a
lort session. At the academy
lere iB not accommodations for

fas temporarily quartered in the
Idventist church. The sfcudentB
and teachers settled into their ac
customed grooves easily and at
pace, and now the regular 1901-02
psBion may be said to be fairly
lender way.
BELLIGERENTS FINED.
exhausted, Stephenson lodge sent
a committee, composed of Messrs.
John T. and A. R. Dorsey and
Wilson to the scene of the catas
trophe to make an extended and
thorough search. The committe
accompanied by Mr. Boss Yance;
drove to the vicinity of Allen’s
bridge and went into camp. Mr.
Ab. Dorsey departed tor Stovall’s
store to procure boats, and when
it was about time for him to re
turn the balance of the part}
started up the river bank to meet
him. A short distance from their
camp they'reached a canebrake
bounding an eddy lii the rive®
From the bank projected the tru
of a dea<Ltree. Mr. John Dors-
thinking it a likely place to loo
fef Hhe body, pushed~kis way
through the brake, and, mounting
the tree trunk, espied the .object of
his quest, which had been can
in the branches of the tree and
lay with a portion^)f the body ex
posed. It was reverently lifted
from the water, and, after an in
quest had been held by Cor
W. E. Sosebee of White county,
the remains were packed in char
coal and promptly brought to
Gainesville.
The funeral services, which were
attended by a, laige crowCbl sym

and acquaintances, were held at

After the purely religious services

At the public sales on Tuesday
ast there was very spirited bid-
particulurly when city prop
erty was offered for sale. Prices
were exceptionally good, and gen
tlemen who are good judges of
property values felt warranted in
declaring that, conservatively con
sidered, the prices paid were at
east 40 per cent higher than they
would have been under similar cir
cumstances before the advent of
the factories.
This increase in real estate val
ues is an enormous accretion and
should stimulate our citizens to
continue the good work-—to never
cease hustling for other enterprises
—to keep civic pace with the city’s

Mr. Ira B. West, of Lula, has
secured an option on Gower
springs and the property sur
rounding it, and it is rumored
that the parties whom he repre
sents intend, as soon as their plans
are perfected, to purchase the
springs and inaugurate a series of
improvements that will thorough
ly rehabilitate the ancient resort
and transform it into an up-to
date pleasure park. With the ad
vent of the electric railway a spur
will be pushed out Green street,
and the springs be brought within
easy access of our citizens.

INCREASED VALUES-

ville attractive—add to its com
munal advantages. The promoters
of large manufacturing enfcaf prises
will be more apt to locate facto
ries in a community where the ad
juncts of civilized life are of the
most advanced type in the way of
sanitation, water supply, light,
communication, etc., than in a
slow-going, one-horse, behi?id-the-
age town, whose citizens are con
tent with the crude conveniences
that satisfied their grandfathers.
The twentieth century opened
stienuously and in the race .to
ward the goal of success the lag
gards in enterprise are sure to lose.

of all the requisites for the accom

Mrs. Moore, wife of Mr. T. T.
Moore baggage agent at the South
ern railway depot, was seated near
a window at her home on Myrtle
street last Wednesday evening,
writing a letter. The window
shade was not pulled entirely
down, leaving a small space
through which the light shone.
Suddenly Mrs. Moore was alarmed
)y the appearance of a man’s head,
ooking through the window. Mrs.
Moore sprang up and, seizing a re
volver, listened. Steps were heard
on the piazza and a hand attempt
ed to turn the door knob lock, but
it was latched, then an effort was
made to push down the window.
Mrs. Moore kept a level
ibpsver^aiia
fired two shots into the air, at the
same time screaming to a Mr. Hen
derson across the street for help.
Her cries for help and the shots
brought Mr. Henderson and other
neighbors to the scene. An armed
watch was established and Mr.
Moore notified. When be came
up from the depot no trace of the
intruder could be found and as no
accurate description could be giv
en, no effort was made to hunt
him. Mr. Mooie thinks, how
ever, that it was evidently some
one who knew his hours at the de
pot and was acquainted with the
a
congested population, and now
that we have made such a good
start the pace should in no way be
relaxed. Within a few miles of
the public square there lies dor
mant and undeveloped a mighty
force that only needs to be har
nessed to man’s use to turn count
less wheels and give employment
to thousands of busy hands. The
water power of the Chattahoochee
is almost beyond estimate—it is a
cheap motor—and, once it begins
to be utilized, industries that use
machinery will flock here from all
points of the compass as swiftly
and unerringly as flock the buz
zards to a carrion feast. Let the
good work go on. Every industry
that locates here adds to the value
of your property, and a dollar
spent in the improvement and
beautifying of the city will pay
one hundred per cent dividend.
MOVE SHOES.
The J. B. Mathis company has
moved its stock of shoes into the
storeroom vacated by G. F. Tur
ner, who moved into the room re
cently fitted up in Hunt’s opera
house. The Mathis company car
ries a first class line of shoes, and
m its new aud larger quarters will
no doubt greatly increase its trade,
as they propose adding to their
stock a general line of merchan
dise. *

It is very seldom such a thing
occurs iu this city, but no risks
should be taken and every safe
guard should be provided, when
ladies are left alone at night.
SALES DAT-
Considering the generally bad
condition of the roads there was
an exceptionally heavy influx of
farmers to town last Tuesday, it
being the regular sales day.
Deputy Sheriff J. A. Lyle dis
posed of the following properties:
A fifty-three acre tract of land
southwest of Gainesville, to A. J.
Mundy for
A one-half interest in 120 acres
of land on the Shallow Ford road,
to A. J. Mundy for $1820.
A vacant lot near Findley street,
to John T. Boyd for $1520.
A vacant lot on Broad street, to
A. J. Mundy for $541.50.
House aud lot on Findley street,
to M. J. Charles for $802.75.
The Geo. W. Garner farm was
rented by A. J. Bennett, guardian,
for the year 4902 for $189, R. T.
Keith being the lucky bidder.
To hold or not to hold; that is
the question with cotton farmers.
