Rev. j. P. McFerrin, of Edgefeld
will preach the commencement SER
mon for the Female Academy on
the LIST Sunday in June. Hon. j.
R.GOodpasture of this city will de-
liver the literary address to the
Alumne on Thursday the est ofJune.
A full programme will given in due
time. The exercises we learn are to
be unusually interesting. Nothing
about the whole proceedings, how
ever, will more fully meet the ap-
probation of all concerned than the
fact that the fifteen beautiful young
ladies who are now candidates for
graduation will appear in calico
dresses on commencement day.
This is a reform in the right direction,
and must add largely to the success
already achieved by the Academy.

Since calling attention to the pond
on Mrs. McDaniel's property, the
water has been draining from it
slowly and its dimensions are still
very large. AS we write at present,
heavy rains are going on and there
is every reason to suppose it will
soon be as large as ever. We wrote
before in the interest of Mrs. Nc
Daniel, the owner of the property ;
we speak now in the interest of the
public. A thick green scum of
cryptogamous vegetation is now
forming on the surface, and the
health of that populous neighbor-
hood is bound to suffer. Prevention
is better than cure; what shall be
done? We await an answer.

Building Material.

We have facilities for doing all
the work in our line that may be
needed to rebuild the burnt portion
of our city, and have large stocks OF
first-class dry White Pine, Yellow
Pine and Poplar Lumber on hand.
We have just completed a large dry
kiln, upon the most approved plan,
that will enable us to furnish thor
oughIy dry lumber in any quantity
that may be desired. We will sell
material in our line as Lo1o as it can
be put here from any place, and
guarantee the quality equal. We
will give special prices to those who
intend rebuilding in the burnt dis

OPERA HOUsE.-There is reason
for believing that GAINESVILLE will
shortly be much better provided
with the means for dramatic and
operate performances than ever be-
fore. Mr.. John Elder cOntemplates
utilizing the we'll known Red Cor
ner' for this purpose. The present
buildings are to be torn down
and a new edifice put up, the ground
floor of which will be occupied by
first class stores and above them an
exhibition building, with stage
arrangements and all other acces-
series in regular theatrical and
operate order. The plans have
already been submitted by Mr.. An
drewartha, of Louisville, and that
gentleman is now engaged in making
out the specifications and estimates,
after which, if Mr.. Elder accepts
them, the contracts will be forth
with put out. The possession OF
such building is great advantage
to any city in which it may be con-
structed by increasing its attractive
ness as a place of residence.

THE card of Mr.. G. D. Bailey
announcing his candidature for re-
election as Clerk of the Circuit
Court will be found in another
column. We believe that there is
no one in GAINESVILLE who, if the
good of the public service is made
the consideration, will hesitate to
say that Mr.. Bailey is the candidate
who ought to be elected. On the
theory of benefit to Office seekers it is
true that the more changes the bet
ter, but that is not our standpoint /;
our only clients are the public, our
only interests the public interests,
and from this standpoint Charley
Bailey is our candidate against the
world.

Can't be Done.

Our readers will remember an
article in our last weeks paper pro-
posing that the expense of rebuild
ing the Court House shall be de-
frayed by poll tax. WenOw have
the information from a friend in the
legal profession that such tax can
not be levied. The State COnstitu-
ton prescribes that no city corpora
ton shall levy a poll tax heavier
than that levied by the State, and
our county poll tax levied for school
purposes goes to the extent of our
legal powers in that direction.

CHANCELLOR r. J. MORGAN, of
Memphis, was in our city last week
making the acquaintance of our
people in view of his candidacy for
a place on the Supreme Bench of
the State. He is a man of the very
best character as a gentleman and
lawyer, and no doubt would dis
charge the duties of the high Office
to which he aspires with ability and
fidelity should he be chosen by the
people of the State. He made a
good impression on the people with
whom he met.

THE Grange Warehouse must be
doing a thriving business, Judging
from the amount of tobacco they
handle. A few days ago we were
at their warehouse and saw a guam
tity of tobacco awaiting storage
which surprised us. There were
whole rows of hOgsheads extending
from the freight depot to the ware
house. They have plenty of room
for it all, however, and more too,
as their storage room is ample. We
are glad to see such evidences OF
their prosperity.

JUDGE MORGAN attended the
Sunday-schOOl at the Methodist
Church last Sunday morning, and,
being invited by the Superintendent
to do so, he made a speech to the
school which was pronounced by
good judges to be one of the ablest
and most appropriate Sunday school
speeches ever made in their hearing.
The influence of such men as Judge
Morgan in favor of the Church and

to the cause of public morality.

To my Friends and Acquaintance.
Previous to the late disastrous fire
which destroyed great portion of
the business houses of this city, in
Guiding the one occupied by myself
and family as a store and residence,
I had purchased tickets to accom-
pany my family to Europe, visiting
the Paris Exposition during our
sojourn in France. l expect to be
absent about four months, and have
perfected arrangements to have,
during my absence, the store rebuilt
on the old site, next to Franklin
Bank, the building to be more sub
stantial than before. On my return
1 shall purchase an entire new stock
of Clothing, Hats, Caps, Boots,
Shoes, Gents Furnishing Goods,
Trunks, Notions, &C., to be sold at
the lowest price possible, 1t may
occur while in London, Paris and
other European cities, 1 will make
arrangements to import portion Of
the stock to be sold on the above
premises, thereby getting the latest
and best styles. I feel thankful to
my kind patrons for the liberal pa
tronage bestowed upon me hereto
fore, and ask a continuation of the
same on my return from Europe.
The short time allotted me before
sailing will not allow me to say to
each and every one of my friends
and acquaintance, goodbye; but
1 can only exclaim to one and all an
affectionate farewell, hoping on my
return to see those familiar faces
which I have seen in years past, and
see the Burned District rise Phoenix
like from its ashes, will be my con-
slant thought. J. q. JOSEPH.
