OAKWOOD. Farmers are at work sowing oats and pruning theii*fruit trees. ^iies Artie Odell, who has been seriously ill, is not much better.

WILL WE GET IT. It it said now that there is lit tle doubt that the Charleston, Au gusta and Chattanooga Air Line Railway will be built. A large party of capitalists who are inter ested in the new line were in At lanta this week and from informa tion given out by them it appears that the road will be built as soon as it is possible to do so. " The proposed line will rum from Charleston, S. C., to Augusta, through Athens, Gainesville, Dal ton and into Chattanooga. I will be one of the most impor tant lifaes of railway in the south, connecting at Chattanooga with the great trunk lines of the west and at Charleston with the steam- ship lines of the Atlantic. It’s value to Gainesville cannot be es timated, as ii will give to the city competitive freight rates. and de velops a section of the state heretofore untouched. The Atlanta Constitution, m speaking of the proposed new line, ‘says: The gentlemen who are at the head of this project mean to push if to completion at a very early date. The contract for the con struction of the line between Au gusta and Charleston has already boen let. Three million dollars has been set aside for this purpose and work will begin at once. The surveys have already been made and a great part of the right of way secured. The road is being financiered by a company which is entirely distinct from the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company, but it^ is believed that the new line will be run in the^nterest of the Sea board and finally controlled by it. The line between Athens, An- 1 gusta and Charleston has been un« der consideration fox sever#! years und for some time it has been dis played on the Seaboards maps. ~The company at the'headof it has* 5 now decided to begin construct- - ion in the immediate future and it is quite probable that in a few ^months’ time the work will be well underway. * She Was Sweetheart of Alex Stephens.

Quillian Bros. Bay Warehouse. Thursday morning, Mr. T. P. Hudson sold his warehouse, on the comer of Spring and Maple streets, to Messrs George and Turner Quillian for $2600 The lot upon which this warehouse stands is 41x193 feet. Quillian Bros, will erect a three-story brick buijding upon the front end of the lot to run back on Maple street 100 feet. A two- story building will be erected to run back 50 feet, and a. one-story building put up to run back 43 feet. All but the last 43 feet will be used as a whole sale grocery store, and the one-story building is to be used for a mule pen. This deal is an important one, as it not only means the erection ot a hand some new building near the .center of the city, bnt also the establishment of a large whole-sale grocery house.

They have also received a landsome new line of spring goods which are being displayed to the trade- Everybody is cordially invited to call at their big store and see the pretty Judges of Their Fine Points Few and Far Between. The judges of good cigars in this country are few and far between, says an expert The great difficulty with' ihe people who think they know cigars is that they lay too much stress on the color of the weed. The color makes not the slightest difference, and you are just as likely to find one of the rankest kind of cigars with the deep black col-* or of the genuine Havana as you are to find a bad one apiong those that are yellow as straw. V : i The best way to tell a cigar is. by j the feel of it. Take a cigar in your hands and give it a gentle'pressure, holding It close to the ear. If the cigar is a good one, it will be Just the least little bit flexible, and the 'fingers will sink into the wrapper. It gives forth no perceptible sound. If the.cigar is*! hard and close rolled and when placed J to the ear sqpnds as though you were pressing straw together, beware. TheJ best cigars are made of the same leaf ? as the wrapper and are closely rolled, j The common cigars are what is knbwn j as filled and contain all kinds of refuse from the tables where the good cigars are made. There are some filled cigars I that are good smokes, but you seldom ] find a Havana or a Manila or good Gu- ; ban or Key West sinpke that is not ] rolled. Many people who go into a ci-1 gar store to get an imported smoke do 1 not follow up the salesman when he I -takes the cigars from the ease and are J consequently-often fooled. They are] given domestic brands and are charg ed imported: juices, for them. , : j These “good cigar judges” cannot tell the difference when there is all . the .difference in the world. If you must i have an imported smoke, make the clerk hand you the box atfd look close- ] ly at the revenue stamp. The stamps ] on domestic goods are green and white, ! { while those on the imported boxes are 1 all yellow and white. Book -into the ] next cigar cases you see before pur- p chasing an imported cigar. If they! ^ have no boxes in the case to which is 3 attached a yellow and white stamp. ^ don’t attempt to make a purchase. The 11 clerk will sell you a cigar lie calls im-. £ ported, but it will not be the real ar- i t tide.—Washington Post. -GOOD ROADS, GOOD STREETS The fpllowing^f rom* an exchange is sensible and timely, and can be pondered ever with profit by the - citizens pf Gall county and the pity of Gainesville: Good roads like good Btreets, make habitation along them more -desirable, They economize time and force in transportation of products, reduce wear and tear oh horses, harness, and vehicles and enhance the market value of real estate.
