WE are informed that our strict

We are Informed that our strict
ures on Mr.. Elders new building
on the square have given offense.
Our remarks are considered as
throwing doubts upons the solidity
and safety of the building, and as
being in that way adverse to the
patronage of the hall when COM
pleted. Such was not the meaning
of the article, and such an interpre-
tation was carefully guarded
against. Speaking of the iron col
umns which were criticised we
said: " Ne take at for granted that
they are Sufficient to sl,pportthe supeg'-
incumbent mass Of the building but
on esthetic principles a building
should not only be safe and sound
but seem So" 1t was on the score
of taste, not structure, that we crit
icised the building, and we think
that all who have any taste for
whether natural or
will agree with us that,
howeversubstantia and safe build
ing may be, if it gives the impress
sion to the eye of being top-heavy
the architecture is not esthetically
good.

TTRNER-Near st. Bethlehem, Tenn, on
Oct. Sth, 1873, MARY FRANCES TURNER,
daughter of John ii, and Mary Il. Turner,
born Nov. Is, 1856, near Waverly, Tenn.
Previous to her death she asked her pa
rents not to weep for her, for soon she would
be much better of than they. And thus
another gentle spirit passed away, and took
it's flight from sinful earth to pure and holy
Heaven.
Forever TO dwell in that bright, happy home
Where only the good and the humble can
come,
Blessed ever and ever by the love that is
given
To the true and the noble that dwelleth in
Heaven.
These mourn not thy loved one whose spirit
doth live
In the pure haven of rest that Jesus did give
To the good and the true, whose lives hath
been given
To Him and the Father who dwelleth in
Heaven.
No, mourn not the loved one who hath bid
thee farewell,
And gone to the home our Savior hath
given,
Where all good and true ones forever may
dwell
Amid the sweet wales of Gods holy
Heaven. g. H. s.

MeCormac,s Gallery.

We were shown through the va
rious apartments of McCormac's
picture gallery, few days since.
We were astonished at its complete
ness and perfection, and feel proud
to know that GAINESVILLE has the
best arranged and most fully
equipped gallery south of the Ohio.
The building is about one hundred
andtwentyfeetlOngand divided into
various apartments, viz: the room
where the negative is made, hand
sOmely furnished, the floor of which
is of black walnut and sugar tree a
gentlemen's dressing room, a ladies'
dressing room, and a dressing room
for cOlored people also several fin
ishing rooms, a frame room, ETC.,
making all in all the best arranged
gallery in the South and among the
best in America. 1t is built on sci
entific principles, under the special
of Mr.. McCormac, who
keeps abreast with his profession
and is known at home and abroad
as one of the best artists in the
United States. The gallery is on
the second floor of McCOrmac's new
building, the first floor being occu-
pied by Philip Lieber. tits warmed
with hot air from furnace in the
cellar, and is furnished with i'm
proved regulators for keeping the
temperature uniform. The "shOw-
case" room and the three dressing
rooms are handsomely carpeted and
furnished.
Mr.. McCormac employs the best
talent and is now prepared to do
work in the picture line as well as
it can be done anywhere. He was
one of the heaviest sufferers by our
big fire, losing his all. He is now
ready to go to work again, and will
give value received. Let US patron
iZe him.

We have before referred to the
Davidson Paper Bag Machine in
these columns, and we desire again
to call the attention of those having
money to invest to this grand in
vention of one of our citizens. We
believe the establishing Of a Paper
Bag Factory in GAINESVILLE to be
of public interest, and we desire,
therefore, to present to our readers
few arguments showing the prae-
teal utility and feasibility of the un-
dertaking. The proprietors Of
the invention, Messrs. Davidson &
Johnson, are men of limited means,
and the success of the enterprise
will depend, to "A great extent, on
our public spirited citizens who
have money to invest. Let us
make q few reasonable calculations
1t will be seen that the establishing
of this Factory here is one of the
finest opportunities for making a
safe and paying investment ever
to any one. Figures don't
lie. What will it require to start
Il factory? Answer.

Total S15,G00 o.
Now, if there were even doubts
of success, there is very little risk.
The house and lot viii be worth the
money paid for it; so the stock of
paper; so the engine and boiler.
Then there is really a risk of only
| 81, 600 90 for the ten machines with
which it is proposed to supply the
Factory, and if any one has doubt
of the capacity Of this machine for
making bags, let him drop in at
Davidson's gun shop and that doubt
will be speedily removed by seeing
it work.
Then say it requires an invest
ment of $4,000 90 to start ten
machines, with stock of paper, etc.
Let us look for one moment at the
profits, and our calculations are
taken from the books of men who
deal in paper bags: A Davidson
Machine will tnrn out, finished and
ready for use, 5000 bags per day,
one hand, boy or girl, can run two
machines making 10000 bags per
day. Take this as a basis. Then
to make 10000 bags, requires $50
lbs. Of paper; which at s cents (its
price, will cost $28 90. Pay for boy
to run the two machines, Is cents.
Pro rata pay for an overseer at
81 30 per day, 80 cents. Other ex-
pense per day for two machines,
81 80.
Thus we have as the total cost of
10000 bags 6 Ii -four sacks) $50 70.
These bags sell at SIS 90 per 1000,
or $50 90 for the 10000, thus leaving
a clear profit, per day, on one hand
and two machines, of $40 25; or the
profits Of a factory of ten machines
at 500 % per day, after paying all
running expenses. Counting 313
working days in the year, we have
the grand total of profits on one
factory for one year, $50, 126 %.
And this on an investment of only
$4,000.
Paper bags are as staple as bacon ;
they are taking the place of wrap
ping paper the world over, and the
five factories in the United States
cannot supply the demand. We
have in the United States about
100000 families on an average
they use one paper bag per week
making a total for the United States
of 361, 100000 bags per year. A
paper bag is not like a suit of clothes
or a hat !; it costs but trif1e, is
used once and thrown aside.
Let any one examine critically
the above figures, they challenge |
inspection. If there is any other
investment that promises so well we |
have not heard of it. Messers. |
Davidson & Johnson will soon begin |
the formation of Joint Stock Com |
pany, for the purpose of starting
Il factory in GAINESVILLE. AS before |
stated, only SO, 900 is required, but |
in order to insure satisfaction and |
inspire confidence, only ten per
cent. is required to be paid in adj
vance. The stock will be divided |
into $50 shares of 800 90 per share. /
1t is the intention to start only two
or three machines until the practi-
feasibility and success of |
the undertaking is assured beyond |
all possibility of doubt.
