Dr. Mitchell states that ho found
Mr. Austin suffering with chills

dethroned reason. He left the

Wednesday morning, the reve
nue officers captured a big still
near Gratis. It bad a capacity of
a hundred gallons, and was one of
the prettiest in the country. Of
course, it was destroyed, as was
also about 1800 gallons of beer.
The men were just getting ready
to start up work when the officers
arrived. Mr. Perry Smith was
caught and carried to Athens for
trial. A negro who was at the
still made his escape. The reve
nue officers are to be commended
for their vigilance in breaking up
this nuisance to country life.—

The stockholders of the Logan
ville Telephone Co. met last Tues
day. They found that nearly one
hundred dollars of the subscribed
stock had never been paid, and
that the line owed debts of con
struction amounting to a little
more than a hundred dollars. The
treasurer was ordered to collect
all unpaid stock, bringing suit
whenever found necessary. The
report of the treasurer showed
that above expenses the net re
ceipts of the line had amounted to
about .$35.00. However, no divi
dend was declared on this, as it
will be needed to meet the rental
to the Bell Telephone, and the
debt of construction.—Walton

, Sunday the editor and family
enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and
Mrs. M. Y. Brand, at their home
in the country, where we feasted
on fried chicken, watermelons,
canteloupes and other good things
to eat. The day was highly en
joyed. Mr. Brand is one of the
best farmers in the county, has a
splendid farm, 150 acres in culti
vation, and his crops are as good
as could be desired, clean and well
cultivated. Mr. Brand believes in
making his meat and bread at
home, and gives the keynote of
successful farming in the one
word—“work.” He says if the
farmers will properly prepare their
lands they can the better with
stand the droughts, and that na
ture will do her part nine times
out of ten. Mr. Brand’s fine crops
of corn and cotton afford an ob
ject lesson to those who may
doubt this. He has a valuable
farm and is making it more so
each year by hard work. For the
fine dinner and the day’s enter
tainment we make our best bow
to him and his good lady.
Capt. Homer V. Jones, of Nor
cross, is just now a more than or
dinarily happy man, and deserved
ly so. His son, Clifford Jouos, has
just successfully passed the rigid
examinations in all branches nec
essary to entrance into the Gov
ernment school and service at
West Point, N. Y. Where a num
ber failed from all the states, he
succeeded. DeWitt Jones, a young
er brother of 17 years, finished his
second year at the Technological
school in Atlanta 7 points ahead
of all competitors. He will finish
ther. next year and then go to
Cornell University,. N. Y. These
two young men are remarkable in
this generation as being absolute
ly devoid of evil habits Neither
of them use tobacco or intoxicat
ing drinks in any form. Their
chief companions are their father
and mother, and they are general
ly to be found at homo when not
in school. Both are devoted at
tendants upon the services of the
Presbyterian church, which is
their parents’ and their own
church. In these two young men
Gwinnett county will some day
have noble representatives in the
field of fame and honor.
Heck Thomas, well known in
1 Gwinnett county, has been voted
SSOO by the Missouri legislature
for killing Bill Doolin, an outlaw.
Thomas is a detective, and now
lives at Guthrie, Oklahoma.
Bob Brnnon, col., has been award
ed a new trial by the Supreme
| court. Brown was convicted al
the last term of our Superior court
for horse stealing, anti sentenced
to twelve months in the chain
gang, or to pay a fine of SIOO. He
was convicted on the testimony of
a penitentiary convict, and on this
ground the Supreme court reversed
the verdict of the low ir court.
Our city was visited bv two
lightning artists of the paint
brush this week—N. C. Graham
and Walter Smith of Atlanta.
They painted a most attractive
sign on the wall of Ewing & Son’s
store for Spear & Co., the wide
awake furniture house of Atlanta.
This house believes in advertising,
and these two painters have been
up and down the Seaboard toad
placing artistic signs at various
points. The one on the Ewing
store is hard to beat.
The steel bridge that spanned
the Chattahoochee near Bufcrd
which was washed away by the
high waters last fall is to be re
built at once. Some changes are
to be made, the middle pier being
dispensed with, making the bridge
a suspension structure. The au
thorities of Forsyth county are
proceeding to make Gwinnett re
sponsible for part of the expense,
though on what grounds we have
failed to learn. The Supreme court
has not yet decided the case,
though the decision is expected in
a few days.
Bit By A Mad Bog
Luther Bradford, a boy about
12 years old, son of Yarbrough
Bradford, living near town, was
bit by a dog supposed to be mad
last Saturday. A mad Btone was
procured from Mr. Crow and ap
plied to the wound, adhering to
and drawing the virus from it.
The dog was killed and the boy
seems to be getting well, as no
ill effects have yet developed from
the bite.

Monroe Cotton Mills.
Monroe, Ga,, July 17. —Stock-
holders of the Monroe Cottou mills
met iu annual meeting Saturday.
The treasurer’s report for the preß
ent year showed the earnings of
the mill to be better than for any
previous year since the mill began
running. A somi-aunual dividend
of 5 per cent, was ordered paid.
All old officers were re-elected, and
the president was directed to sell
new stock sufficient to double the
capacity of the mill.
The Monroe Cottou mills are
truly under splendid management
and the good they are doing for
the town and county is almost un
measurable.
Prominent Atlautians were at
the meeting here and are highly
pleased with the progress mads by
mills at this place.
Bay Creek Meeting.
Rev. T. E. McCutchen closed
one of the most stirring meetings
ever known in Walton at Bay
Creek last week.
The church there had fallen in
to a vely dismal condition. Fac
tions had arisen and worldly-mind
ed things were threatening the life
itself of the church. Rev. Mc-
Cutchen, assisted at times by Rev.
Frank Jackson, of Winder, went
into the community and preached
the Word as found in the Script
ures. Following its teaching, the
unruly were excluded. When that
was done thirty-two memb rs were
received into the church, sixteen
by conversion, the others by letter
or confession of faith.
When the services closed, a feel
ing o£ harmony prevaded once
more among the people of the
community. Large crowds attend
ed the services each day.—Walton

Mysterious Disappearance,
I Russell D. Bradley has myste
riously disappeared from his home
| at Auburn.
Tuesdav of last week he camo to
j Lawrenceville for the purpose of
• arranging some legal matters con
j nected with the transfer of some
land as guardian for his wife.
His surety on his bond accompa
nied him, and objected to thp
transfer on the ground that the
transfer was not in conformity to
the order of the court.
Failing in his purpose to effect
the transfer, it now develops that
he has sold other property belong
ing to his wife, and has failed to
account for the money. ,He is
also ow’ing various small sums in
and around Auburn, several of
which are securod by mortgaged
property which he has disposed
oT\
Since his visit to Lawrenceville
last week ho has not been seen,
and his wife cannot account for
his absence.
H 6 is supposed to have gone
west, as the theory of foul play is
not entertained by his friends.
Heretofore the young man has
enjoyed a good reputation for so
briety and honesty, and his sud
den disappearance has caused
much surprise.
Installation Services at Buford.
Sunday the Presbyterian church
at Buford was the scene of an in
teresting service,being the installa
tion of Rev.J. Wood Pogue as pas
tor.
The ceremonies were conducted
by Rev. T. P. Cleveland, D. D.,
who delivered in a most impress
ive manner the charge to the pas
tor, and by Rev. N. B. Mathes, who
delivered the charge to the people.
Rev. Cleveland conducted the
morning service, which was closed
with the communion rites of the
church.
Rev. J. T. Patton preached at
4:80 p, m.
In honor of this installation
service no preaching was had at
either the Methodist, or Baptist
churches, the membership of those
denominations uniting with the
Presbyterians in making the day
a most glorious one. Rev. Pogue
has been acting as pastor of the
Buford church for some time, but
his installation had not been con
ferred until last Sunday. He is
not only popular with his own
people, but the high esteem in
which he is held by all was attest
ed by the largo congregarions that
attended each service Sunday, be
ing made up of all denominations
in the city.
Assaulted on the Public Highway.
John Hopgood, who lives iu
Harbins district, last week swore
out warrants against Russell Mc-
Daniel, Henry McDaniel, George
McDaniel, George Ashworth and
Sam Ellison, chargitig them With
assaulting him in the public high
way.
The offense was committed July
10th, on the Lawrenceville and
Winder road in the southern part
of Harbins district.
All the parties have been arrest
ed, except Ashworth, who made
his escape. The warrants were ex
ecuted by Bartow Mo.'gan, the bai
liff, and Henry Moon, who was
deputized to assist him. The
prisoners are in town today
(Thursday) demanding trial, and
an investigation will be had at the
present term of the City Court.
Hopgood was not seriously in
jured, only a slight scalp wound
being inflicted, and it is claimed
that Ellison did the cutting with
a knife.
Hopgood says he had been
charged with reporting blockade
stills and that these parties at
tacked him for that reason. He
claims to be innocent of the char
ges;, and says he will be able to es
tablish this fact on the trial.
Some Big Beal Estate Beals at Buford.
The Garner hotel property at
Buford was sold this week to
Clarence Allen, Ed. Vance and
T, C. Burton, for the sum of S2OOO.
The old building will be torn
away and a modern hotel erected
in the near future, so it is said.
The property embraces about 6
acres of land in the heart of Bu
ford, and the new owners will im
prove their purchase by the erec
tion of several cottages thereon,
one of which is to be erected at
once, in addition to the hotel.
The cottage first erected is to be
used as a permanent home for the
Principal of Buford High School.
A Boston syndicate has pur
chased the furniture factory and
land thereto belonging, from Mrs.
Fretwell, and has moved out the
old machinery preparatory to re
placing it with a plant for the
manufacture of shoes. It is said
that the shoe factory will be in
full blast by fall, and will give
employment to a large number of
hands.
Buford is an enterprising and
plucky little city, and these new
enterprises are but natural se
quences to the activity of her cit
izens.
If Lawrenceville ever expects to
grow, we commend the example of
Buford to our citizens as an object
lesson for them to pattern after.
There is plenty of home capital
here to start several small facto
ries, iu which the investors could
make money, besides building up
their town.

Mormonism in Gwinnett.
The report reaches us that three
Mormon Missionaries, two preach
ers and one singing master are up
in Buckets district) sowing the
seed of their faith among the peo
ple. A number of the best citizens
up there are indignant that the
disciples of Mormonism should re
ceive countenance in such an en
lightened community, in this day
and generation, aud a good deal of
strife is being engendered in con
sequences thereof.
The best advice we can give to
those who look with abhorrauce
on Motmon elders, is to give them
a wide berth, and also those who
sympathize with them.
Treat them with silence, and
they will soon disappear, for they
live and feed upon fomentation
and discord.
Balding the Blockaders.

Received a large amount of building material last Saturday,
and will soon make some changes in his Great Cut Price
Bargain Annex that will make it not only the hand
somest but the most attractive place in Georgia to trade.
The greatest attraction in the Cut Price Bargain Annex
is the remarkable saving of from 25 to 100 per cent, on
every article. The old idea of big profits has had a hard
“lick;” small profits and big volume has driven big profits
to the “wall.”
Just three months ago-we announced the opening of
the “Annex,” boasting of the large space given to this de
partment. Little did we dream of a larger addition in the
short space of three months.
The fast growing trade we are having is remarkable.
Come to see us.
Respectfully,
John B. Brogdon.
