TAR town council come time since
PISSED an ordinance that all citizens
between the ages Of 81 and so years
shouldwork two days on the streets.
A large number Of the citizens and
taxpayers Of the town will petit
tion the council at their next meet
ing, asking them to repeal the ordi-
nance, which they think works great
injustice, and if the council does not
act favorably upon the petition it is
proposed to test the matter in the
courts. If the streets are to be kept
III repair we think the only fair way
to do it is by just and equal taxa
ton, and not by exempting our
weather. citizens from the payment
OF tax which the poorest citizens
have to pay many Of whom do not
own horse.
We believe that all who are Of the
required age have been warned out
not as MEN generally are, but in
gangs as though this class of our
citizens belonged to some great herd
efslaves and that it wouldn't do for
80 many vile creatures to be out on
the street at the same time. We do
. not wish to be.understood that we
think the council entertained an
idea of this kind. but it, alone, pre-
sents itself as sufficient reason to
account for the non-apPearance OF
some Of our people on the streets as
"rip-rappers."
The council is composed of men
who rank high as honorable and in
telligent citizens and who are dis
posed to do what is fair, and right,
and We cannot believe that they will
not repeal tins ordinance when they
find that it Is the will OF majority
Of the voters end tax-pay ers Of town;
therefore, we expect things to pur-
sue the even tenor Of their way.

Among the many costly improve
ments on Franklin street since the
great fire should be noticed the beau
tiful marble pavement just laid
down by Mr.. S. Hodgson in the new
millinery store he has now nearly
completed for Mesdames Hodgson
& Mcclure. This is a new feature
in the arrangements for our orna-
mental stores, and we hope to see
the example followed. To say
nothing of the beauty of it, it very
largely diminishes the danger of
fire. Indeed, we have gone a long
way towards rendering new Clarks-
vile fire-proof as well as stately and
sumptuous. Mr.. Rosenfield is vieing
with his rival in the beauty and
good taste of his establishment, some
wood carving on his shelving being
quite artistic and the octagon store
front will be admirably adapted to
the display of fancy goods. The
residential part of his building is
planned with great taste and ingen-
uity, and will furnish ample ac-
commodation even for his numerous
family.
Owen q Moore are moving into
their new store close to the site of
their old establishment. AS soon as
they have completed their arrange
ments there they will open their
splendid new stock of Christmas
goods, which in their beautifully
decorated sale-room will have an
effect quite dazzling.
Altogether, the new business
houses will be nearly completed by
Christmas time; the more public
buildings, such as the new Court
House, the Tobacco Boards Office
and the public schools will leave
work for next spring, by which
time GAINESVILLE will, for architect
ural effect, surpass many cities of
three times her population. One
thing has come out since the fire,
and that is the now manifest fact |
that the GAINESVILLE people bad a
considerable pile of money slowed |
away in old stockings or elsewhere.
Let's quit talking about hard times.

Wewere mistaken i'm announcing.
last week, that Mr.. w. S. Dortch
had received one of those hand
some Paris minnow buckets-Oith
/ the handle on the side. 1t was Mr..
NJ. II. Clark, the honored Secretary
of the G.. & D. Club, who was the
fortunate receiver. We under
/ stand he has been inconsolable
since he was forced to give up the
one he luckily came into possession
of while gathering up his traps to
leave the train at Guthrie on his
late fishing trip. The circumstances
of this lucky episode in the life of
! the G. & d. Club, we understand,
are substantially as follows:
On the arrival of the train at
Guthrie, with the G. & D. Club
fishing party, the gentlemen COM
posing the party gathered up their
I bundles, ICdter bottles, etc., to get off
and then take the other train for
Nashville. The Secretary had under
each arm portion of what he
what he thought was the traps of
the party, and seemed very happy
in the conscious performance of
duty. With the bundles under his
arms he promonaded the platform
at Guthrie for an hour or two, the
party anXiOusly awaiting the
coming train. The motion of the
body in moving about, finally
loosened the neat caseing of brown
paper around one If the Secrelary's
bundles and exposed to view the
side handle of that useful and artistic
Paris 81innOto bucket. He was, up
to this time wholly unconscious Of
the value of the "gem" that he had
been so prominently exhibiting,
and had chung to so affectiOnately;
but the slipping paper had revealed
the ''side handle," for sometime to
many admirers, who finally gained
courage to inform him of the value
of one of his packages. In the
meantime the rightful owner OF this
valuable package had been in hot
pursuit of his property, and came
upon the Secretary just as he re-
allied the value of the "gem," and
by violent and intimidating threats,
and the aid of the efficient police Of
Guthrie, ruthIessly dragged it from
his alfectiOnate embrace. Since
then, as we before stated, the Secre-
tary has been incJnsolable, and
could not be persuaded to even
''smile" until he had ordered, direct
from Paris, its duplicate. This ar
rived by express duly RENTED by
the L. ). Government on account
of its great usefulness) Tuesday of
last week, and is now on exhibition
at the Express Office, ana the Sec
rotary IS again happy.
We were also mistaken in stating
that Capt. Gracey had received one
of those elegant French minnow
buckets. The Secretary was very
anxious for both Mr.. DOrtch and
Capt. Gracey to join him in ordering
one. Both, however, declined,
Mr.. D. saying he was too busy to fish
at present, and Capt. Gracey plainly
informing the Secretary that when
he used charcoal bait in fishing
it would not near hold his minnOws.
Capt. G. and Mr.. ID, however, eX-
pressed great admiration for the
gem" We are truly glad to leard
that Mr.. Kincannon will keep a
large supply.
