Prof. Meininger is organizing q
musical society which promises tC
do much good in GAINESVILLE by pro.
noting a taste for good music. We
had the pleasure last week of attend
ing one of his rehearsals, at which
some operate choruses were sung
with much spirit and expression.
The Professor is receiving no remu-
neration for his efforts, and if (as we
sincerely hope will be the case) the
society should be a success, he will
deserve the lasting gratitude of this
community. The society meets on
Friday evenings at P. NJ. at the
Female Academy. Every one who
has an ear and a voice should join,
and, what is most important. all
who have joined should be punctual
at rehearsals.

goods business in Louisville, was
in GAINESVILLE few days since look

dry goods trade, he never saw a
better store-room than the one oc-
cupied by Mr.. Lieber. 1t is large,
roomy, well ventilated and lighted
ard is warmed with hOt-air from
a furnace in the basement. MIR.

one of the very heaviest loosers by

we have no doubt but that within a
very short time all the stock will be
taken. Remember the prOprietOrs
only wish a subscription of $4,000
and only ask for 10 per cent. of that
in cash. Let any one 60 to David
sons gun shop and see the mGShee1e
work and he will no longer have a
doubt of the success of the inven-
ton. Then let him refer to a re-
cedt number of the CHRONICLE and
carefully crIticise the calculations
there, regarding the profits of the
investment. The investment is a
good one, there is no doubt about
it, and we would be happy to see
this factory go up in GAINESVILLE.
We could then supply the whole
Southern country with paper bags
ut as low or lower rates than they
can be obtained anywhere else in
the United states. Let Us have the
Factory.

AN interesting brace of juvenile
bucolics entered a tonsoriaI parlor
on Franklin street one day this
week and undertook to play sharp.
They resolved that while the bar
Der was shaving them they would
share him so, in the presence of the
artist, they appointed No. financial
agent, whose duty it was to settle
the bill. While No. 2 was being
barberized No. quietly stepped out
TO see a man, and when No. 2's job
was finished the financial agent was
not on hand. The barber de-
manded his pay, but the bronzed
son of Ceres told him to go to the
''sweet by and by" The police
were informed of the doings of these
rural cavaliers, and they were es-
corted to Justitia's palace at the
West End, but the author of the
boys came upon the scene, paid the
fifteen cents, and all was serene.

THE Tobacco Leaf, sometime ago,
noticed a new style of minnOw
bucket which the Secretary of the
c. d. ID. Club started off with to
Buffalo river. 1t reminds us of
"Lord DeXter's" celebrated ship
ment of warming pans to Cuba,
which, though not used as originally
intended, were found to be just the
thing needed for syrup clippers, the
top acting as a strainer, so that
what was intended as a hoax on
Dexter yielded a handsome return
on the shipment. We have never
seen the minnow bucket referred to,
but understand that it is combina-
ton affair, capable of a variety of
uses. Besides being suited for the
transportation of minnOWs long dis
tances, it can be taken apart and the
top used as frying pan, the bottom
as stew pan, or soup tureen, or as
waterproof head-cOvering during
heavy rains, ETC., etc. 1t is French
invention and, we suppose, was ex-
hibited at the recent exposition, as
we hear that Mr.. Dortch, another
member ofthe club, has just received
one from Paris. 1t seems a handy
thing to have, as Capt. Gracey also
has one, we learn-probably brought
over the water by MIR. Joseph. If
any other fishing clubs wish them
a large discount would no doubt be
obtained by a full order. They are
said to be made of a composition
which resists both wind and weather.

lower end of the county has had the
naming of the Representative. We
are as well satisfied as we can
be until the Southside can enjoy the

think she has several good men that
could bear legislative honOrs with
distinction.
a shooting scrape occurred last
Sunday, at the house of Miss Sivels,
on "Scace Grease" branch. 1t
seems, from what we can learn, that
a row was raised and Hardin Brad
ley shot Jim Wynn, the shot taking
effect in his arm, making slight
but painful wound. Bradley was
arrested next day and tried before
Squire Wilson, and bound over to
court.
