Our community was greatly shocked
last Sunday morning to learn of the
death of Smith st. Clair, one OF our
leading citizens. Although he had not
been feeling well for some weeks he was
on the streets on Saturday, and we little

that We were speaking TO him for the
last time. The cause OF his death is
said 10 have been effusion OF the brain.
Funeral services were held at his late
home on Monday afternoon, and were
conducted by Rev. Mack.

of Somerton, a sweet and lovable wo-

The James Powell who hurt Travis in
a drunken row near New Castle, last
Saturday, las stated in the Enterprise

GAINESVILLE will soon have no reason
TO fear the fate OF SodOm and GOmOrrah,

zens and only hurt chickens.
The Republicans will have a last rally
Monday night, when Mr.. Danford will
address them and then each party will
have finished their work, and the result
of next Tuesday will be the reigning

afraid after the battle is ended our peO-
pie will become too beautiful, and settle
down into that placidity which we re-
porters despise.

greatly added to the pleasure OF our
visit. Long live Washington.
