The Streets.

We are not going to quarrel with
Mayor Sullivan. The last layer of
material, looking like gravel, which
he caused to be placed on our streets
was, we assume, an experiment,
and experiment is the foundation of
all science. The Mayor has learned
something from his experiment and
so has the city. We have all learn
ed that it won't do. OF all the
greasy, sloshy, sticky compounds
with which we have ever seen
civilized highways Overspread the
GAINESVILLE mud of the period beats
them all. The gravel is failure,
it contains too much clay and no
sand, and the worst part of it is that
it has been laid on so deep that all
the crossings are buried. For some
days this week wOrkmen have been
engaged in scraping off what was
so carefully laid on and if they will
now 90 down a few fathOms and dig
up the buried, crossings Franklin
street will be itself again. We fear,
however, that the experiment has
been Il costly one.

oalisthenics at the Academy.

Our Christmas intermissi0n has
rendered this notice little behind
time, but we cannot let the oppor-
tunity pass of thanking President
Plummer for a very delightful even
ing spent in witnessing the calls
thenic maneuyeres of his three bat
talions, called the Medallion, the
Star and the Crescent Company, that
is the two latter, for we were too
late for the MedaIlions. Strength
and beauty are the meaning of the
two words from which caliSthcnics
is derived, we believe thoroughly in
both as a result of calisthenics well
taught. About the beauty no one
can doubt who witnessed the be-
wildering luxuriance of feminine
grace at the Academy on the night
in question. The appointed judges
decided in favor of the Crescent
Company. We were glad we were
not among the Judges for we
could never have decided upon
verdict. We have no doubt
the Crescents deserved their BAN
ner and we are quite sure the
Stars deserved another and 1--WE COM
municate it as a profound secret to
our readers) they got it too. In all
seriousness, health and grace are
the undoubted effects of these eXer-
cises which antagonize as, nothing
else can, some of the morbid tenden-
cies of female education. These in
teresting exercises were supplement-
ed by some good music and elocu-
ton by the pupils which do credit
to their teachers Misses Thomas and
Baskette but which we have not
space this week to notice separately.

Christmas ntTrinity church.

We congratulate our Episcopal
friends upon at least being able to
worship in their noble new building,
the Christmas services worthily in
itiating the worship which it is
hoped will sanctify the church for
centuries. The high pitched roof,
the dim, religious light received
through storied windows, and all
else that renders a Gothic edifice the
material embodiment of Christian
ity, were incomplete until the vault
ed heights resounded with the cam
ticles of the Nativity. A source of
anxiety has been the anticipated
difficulty of rendering the preachers
voice audible throughout the build
ing. The experiment was complete
ly successful, and for the information
of the pastor we will state that not
a word of his voice was lost; more
over, that he was best heard when
he raised his voice least above its
natural pitch.

The Broadhurst institute.

We were unavoidably late at this
institution and consequently, the
house being very densely crowded,
we failed to secure a place such as to
enable us to give a satisfactory re-
port of the exercises. We heard
some speeches and essays, however,
by climbing to windows and will
say of the articulation "a much neg
lected point in the present day. that
it was unusually satisfactory, every
word had its due pronunciation,
and accent and emphasis were
scarcely ever at fault. This we es-
TEEN as more important than all the
spO,ai,2g in the world, which is so
apt in the present day to take the
place of true elOcutiOn.

well and, as we learn, doing well.
Charlie now comes amongus "beard-

waiting his musical talents of late
and practices assiduously on his IA
vorite instrument, the drum, on
which he performs splendidly in the
interests of his employers, Messrs.

in the cotton business at Memphis.

panied with a card on which is
written the words 1--WE have decided
that you gained the fly premium. I"

J. A. GRANT.

1t will be seen from the above that
Mr.. j. A. Grant has sold his interest
to Mr.. w. p. Titus. 1t is with much
regret that we part with Mr.. Grant.
Having been associated with him
for the past twenty years, we can
truthfully say that we have never
known a man of stricter integ-
rity and correctness in business rela-
tions, and had not his serious affiic-
ton rendered him unable to attend
to business, the firm would have
continued for an indefinite period.
We trust, now that he is relieved
from all the cares of business, he
may yet recover his usual health.
OF Mr.. Titus, our new partner, we
can say that he has been in this office
as foreman and job workman for the
past twelve months, and that we have
always found him upright and eff
cient in all his dealings. He is a
thorough and practical printer, and
one of the best job workmen we
have ever employed, and in that de-
partment we can assure our patrons
that we can give them as good work
and at as liberal rates as any Office in
the State.
DIR. ID. F. Wright will retain his
present position as political editor.
His qualities as a ripe scholar, a pO-
litical thinker and a vigorous writer
are now recognized as second to
those of no editor in the State, and
the general recognition of them by
our exchanges and our subscribers
renders any urging of them unnec-
essary on our part. We can only
appeal to the public to second our
efforts to supply them with first
class paper by giving US first class
subscription list, and in other ways
patrOnizing our office, as in this way
only can a first class journal be sus-
tanned.
In regard to the business of the
old firm, we will say that persons
having claims against it will present
them for settlement, and all those
indebted to the old firm either by
note or account will confer a favor
by calling at this Office and settling,
as the business must be settled up as
soon as possible. Respectfully,
J. $. NEBLETT.
