Board of Trade.

The Board met according to adj
journment on Tuesday, Sept. 8,
This was the annual meeting and
should have been devoted to the
election of officers and organization
for the ensuing year, but in consid-
GRAFTON of the great urgency of pro-
viding relief tor Memphis, the
whole evening was devoted to that
subject.
The Hon. D. y. Kennedy, Chair
man, having announced this as the
order of the day, called for motions
and resolutions on the subject.
Capt. f. P. Gracey moved that a
committee should be appointed to
take the general charge of the mat
ter, with power to appoint SUBJ
committees in every civil district in
the county.
After consultation the Chairman
announced the following as the
Managing Committee: Capt. j. J..
Crusman, permanent Chirman, l..
Bloch, P. H. Keesee and r. d.
Moseley.
Capt. Crusman moved for a COM
mittee of five to solicit subscriptions
in GAINESVILLE, also that subscription
books be opened in each of the
banks, both which motions were
carried. The Committee of Solicit
tation appointed by the Chair was
w. J. Ely, M. H. Clark, r. H.
Burney, G. A. Baker and B. II.
Owen.
Capt. Gracey moved that weekly
reports of the contributions received
from each district should be pub
lished in the city papers. 1t was
announced that contributions both
of money and provisions would be
received at Capt. Crusman's grocery
store and forwarded Immediately to
Memphis.
1t was then moved and seconded
that the annual business of the
Board should be deferred till the
regular October meeting, and the
Board adjourned.

Mr.. SAMUEL HYMAN, father of
Mr.. Thos. Hyman and Mrs. r. d.
McCauley of this city, died at his
residence in Louisville, Ky, on
Sept. 4th. We give the following
notice of his death from the Courier
Journal, and extend to the bereaved
our heartfelt sympathy:
Mr.. Samual Lyman, one of the
oldest citizens of Louisville, died at
his rooms, on Jefferson street,
Thursday morning, after an illness
of only about a week. His condi-
ton was not considered dangerous
until a day or two before his death,
when his attack of fiuX became viO-
lent. Many years ago Mr.. Hyman
was one of the most RntCrprising
and energetic of our business men.
He was genial social and hOspitable,
and his acquaintance was cOnse-
quently large and his popularity
great. When he retired from bust
ness, many years ago, he purchased
a home i'll Pewee Valley, where,
for some time, he devoted himself
to the improvement Of his place and
the cultivation of fruits and flowers,
Yielding to the influence of former
habits, and a desire to be employed
in more active duties than his little
farm afforded, he returned to the
city, and during the last two or
three years he gave to the establish
ment of Fonda 4 Sons the benefit of
his valuable experience. Mr.. Hy-
man was always known for his in
tegrity and high honor, His repu-
tation was blamelesS, and his death
will cause sincere regret among the
many friends who hOnOred, respect
ed and loved him for his many bril-
liant qualities.

Miss JULIA STAFFORD, daughter
of Prof. Stafford, of Nashville, is on
a visit to this place, much to the
qualification of her many friends.
From the Saratoga papers we notice
that Miss S. has been for a short
time an admired belle at that queen
of watering places. This she will
be wherever she goes, but it is only
those who know her intimately
that can appreciate her truly. At
Saratoga they simply know that
she is beautiful; here we know her
as the accomplished member of q
highly accomplished family and
the universal favorite of all her
friends, without regard to age or
sex.

AS the weather gets cooler and
the number of those susceptible of
the disease diminishes, there Is q
slight abatement in the number of
deaths and new cases at Memphis.
The 10th gave as its record sixteen
new cases and nine deaths, to which
were added on the morning of the
18th six new cases and seven deaths.
We hear little or nothing from New
Orleans, and presume that the spread
of the disease must be checked
there.

WE clip the following compli-
mentary notice of Rev. Green P.
Jackson, from the Fayetteville Ex-
press of the 4th inst. We are glad
to record the fact that he has had a
successful and prosperous year. He
has many warm and personal
friends, in this city and vicinity,
who will read this notice with
pleasure:
Rev. Green P. Jackson, accom-
panied by his amiable and accomp-
1ished lady, left Monday morning
for Montgomery county, where he
will remain until the assembling of
the Tennessee Conference in Octo-
Der, He delivered his farewell ser
mon at the Methodist church Sun
day night to very large and atten-
tive audience, and at the close of
the services the entire congregation,
embracing members of every re-
ligious denomination in the town,
fiOcked to the altar to bid him an
affectiOnate adieu. His popularity
here is unbounded, and his minis
try has been successful beyond
measure. It is to be hoped the pre-
siding bishop and his cabinet will
see the wisdom and propriety of re-
turning him to the field of labor
which he has cultivated so assidu-
ously, and made fertile with good
works.

Although not completed, we are
glad to learn that this fine hall Is
already in a condition to admit uf
an operate performance with which
our people are to be INDUCED next
Monday and Tuesday nights. The
scenery is not yet painted, but the
present company carry their own
scenery with them. Mr. James
West, however, already knows
here as a fine scenic artist, has now
completed the new drop curtain,
which is by far the finest work of
the kind yet seen in GAINESVILLE.
The design is taken from the first of
Thomas Coles series entitled "a
Dream of Life" Youth is the sea-
son illustrated in this scene. On
gay, sparkling river, meandering
through howery fields and verdant
groves, youth is represented as
sailing in light bark, waited by
nymph-like forms. The river re-
cedes through an exquisitely beauti-
full landscape, with purple noun
tains in the back ground, until
above the horizon gorgeous cloud
palace is depicted, in hazy indis-
tinctness on the sky. Toward this
the adventurous youth is Fastening,
with eager look and outstretched
arms, while his guardian angel
gazes thoughtfully on him from the
shore. In this beautiful composition
West has surpassed himself. His
specialties are sky and foliage, and
this subject gives ample scope for
his skill in both these departments
of landscape painting the grad
atoms of distance are admirably |
kept and the atmospheric effects are
perfect. We doubt whether as fine
a specimen of scenic art can be
found in any city in this State.
The attraction for next week will
consist of operate performances by
the Stewart Opera Company
"Girofe Girofa" on Monday night,
and "Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore"
on Tuesday. These are specimens
of the French opera bouffe and
English comic opera respectively.
OF the opera bouffe we personally
know but little, as it has been in
vented since our opera days were
over; it is said to be gay, sparkling
and melodious. OF the Pinafore we
know a little more, have been for
in possession of the score.
1t partakes of the nature of the bur-
Iesque, the things burlesqued being
the old English nautical drama, in
which the achievements of the
British tar were exaggerated and
glorified, and the absudities Of the
English civil service, whereby a I
politician becomes First Lord of the
in virtue of his success
IS lawyer, and, in that capacity,
produces all sorts of mischief by
with the discipline of
5he ship, which, of course, he does
not understand. The piece abounds
n fun all through, and the music
S always delightful, being indeed
IF much higher character than is :
Usually assigned to such pieces. .
Well C1arkSViJIn iC hunprv for q |
