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 frtl the children and the overflow 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 pathizing and regretful friends and acquaintances, were held at the First Methodist church at 3 o’clock p. m. Saturday, the pastor, Rev. ; A. C. Thomas officiating: After the purely religious services were ended, Hon. John A. Smith, Col. H. H. Dean, and County So licitor Fletcher M. J ohnson made short addresses eulogistic of the dead man. The services at the grave were conducted by Stephen soi. lodge, Knights of Pythias, the ■ibeautiful and impressive burial ritual of the order being read by Chaplain J. C. Boone. 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 Messrs. Thomas M. Bell and H. Craig were arraigned be- lore Mayor Mitchell Monday, with misdemeanor, the being their late belligerent Meeting in the post office. Both pntlemen were fined $5 and costs.

Mundy is erect ing a handsome six-room cottage |°o West Broad stfeet, in which he set up his household | aU( * Senates when furnished. 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. The price for an operation war- rented to cure blindness should be payable on “sight. INCREASED VALUES- com mere 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. Gainesville is by nature possessed of all the requisites for the accom modation — comfortably, pictu resquely and healthfully—of 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. * —————— -- w - When a toper in Denmark is so drunk as to require medical atten tion, the doctor’s bill must be paid by the proprietor of the tav ern where the inebriate securec his last drink. The indications are that betting on the America cup races will sur pass all former records. A WOULD BE opening a window house surroundings. His inten tions were hardly that of a burg lar, for he first saw that Mrs. Moore was alone, beiore attemping an entrance. 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. .v: THROUGH THE SHOES to the feet and hence through the whole body the path of disease is often plainly marked.
