GAINESVILLE, October II, 1879.
Another month has told it's brief
story, and to-day We rcgretiully BID fare
well 10 October with its glorious beauty
and delightful sunshine, which in its
departure seems all the dearer, and
10th 70 give up its reign 10 dull No
ycmber, whose step is even now upon
the threshold. Yet thy reign is over,
gorgeous month Of beauty whose touch
pencils every leaf and blade with colors
Of gadness, and We must say good bye,
perchance never again 20 welcome thy
coming nor witness thy departing glory.
The new school building is now near
ing completion, AMI is an elegant strnct-
ure that would do honor To any city;
snl, unlike the town hall, is not hid
under hushcl but can readily Dee seen
from any part OF the village.
The great eN POSITION bell j. Oi the
sweetest tone and falls as soft music
upon the ear. Il is expected the build
Ing viii be read for use 10y tie first Of
December. The carpenters and plaster
erS are pushing forward their
work vigorously. The outside -
entirely finished and as beautiful
as can b, aud greatly admired
bv every one And certainly the
vouu. idea with such surroundings and
ampl. room should expand wonderfully,
and w. shall expect TO send forth George
Washing;ons, Daniel Websters and
other such famous men, and swell the
Ouioarmy OF great men and good women.

gratulations followed, after which came
the wedding supper, elegant IN all It's
details and not to be surpassed IN ar

ments for the winter, there has been q
Mock Congress formed, which will hold
regular meetings Monday evening Of

but still feel the ladies are left" and
would be glad 20 see some movement
which would give them q chance to inn
prove and keep sids by side with the
