AN INTRUDER Saturday
morning about I o'clock, the
residence of Mr.. Braun south
of the railroad near the COM
press, was entered by negro
boy. When discovered he was
sitting by the bed occupied by
Mrs. and Miss Kolb, Mrs. kolb
was awakened by the negro
laying his hand upon her Shout
der. She screamed and the mig
ran out the back door which
was open. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Braun, who were in another
room endeavored to enter the
room where the ladies were,
they found that the door be-
tween the rooms had been fast
ened by the intruding negro.
If his object was robbery he got
nothing. Another account has
it that a large white man and
not negro entered the room.

HAS LANDED.-Just after the
last republican convention put
Col. Stephen Hackworth away
on the top shelf to rest he NAN
aged to release himself and
since then he has hardly ever
lost a day from his regular bus
iness-electioneering. The col
onel wants Office and he looks
for it. Just before republican
convention he reaches the very
pinnacle of his ambition; he is
like a fox squirrel which as
cends to the topmost limb OF a
tall tree and sways with the
breeze, oblivious Of the fact
that he must come down. The
colonel is a particular friend of
the BAFNER, he is one Of its
constant readers, but differing
from it politically he does not
follow its advice; it would ad-
wise him to retire from the po-
litical arena, to vote the demo-
cratic ticket and to be happy.
During the past two years the
BANNER has never referred to
its friend Hackworth as a poll
tician and it wonld not do so
now, but for the reason that he
has again landed. He was an
aspirant for the county judge
ship, but on Tuesday evening
on the very eve of the republi-
can convention, down he comes;
he lands fiat and spread out
like a flying squirrel. Why he
lands, we are not at this writing
informed. 1t was reported on
Tuesday evening by his politi-
cal co-workers and fellow re-
publicans that he would be a
candidate for justice of the
peace In this precinct. We were
so deeply interested in his po-
litical welfare that we hoped he
would get the nomination for
county judge and get-beat.
WE call the attention of our
readers TO the advertisement of
Geo. P. Burke generallnsurance
agent is this issue of our paper.
MIR. Burke has been engaged in
the business of fire insurance in
this city for many years. Far
mers wishing to insure their cot
ton gins or dwellings, and met-
chants desiring to insure their
stores and stocks of merchan-
disc. will do well to call and see
MIR. Burke or correspond with
him, we commend him to the
insuring public; his office is at

McCormae is determined that
GAINESVILLE shall not be unrecorded
as regards her personal appeal ance.
He has photographed her over
flowed and again when dry; he
took her portrait when just burnt
out and again when half rebuilt,
and then again when her resurrec-
ton was complete. Still he was
not satisfied, but when the Water
works Company had put up its new
stand-pipe over a hundred feet high
on the highest ground in the city,
up goes McCormac to the top Of it,
drags up his camera and his chemi-
Gals and goes TO work on birdseye
view of his beautiful sitter. He
has taken four views, enc looking
due north over the valley of Red
river, with New Providence in the
distance; one northwest, with the
College as a central object and a
perspective view of Franklin street;
a third taking nearly the direction
of Franklin street, following the
line of that street sheer into the bus
iness part of the city, including on
the left the haif-built new Court
House, and finally view looking
due South, overlooking the suburb
of South GAINESVILLE. This latter
picture is blurred by too much sun
shine acting upon the plate, but the
rest are beautiful pictures of beau
tiful city from an unusual point of
view, and are well worthy the pos
session of all lovers of GAINESVILLE
and of Photographic art.

For some time past the good peo-
pie in the northern part of the city
have been greatly troubled by the
loss of their latest hogs, Mr.. Dun
can Mari being one of the heaviest
losers. On Friday night of last
week he reported to the police that
an extra fine SOW was gone, and
that he had strong reasons to sus-
pect negro, Henry Howard, living
in Taylor-town. Early Saturday
morning Officers Carkuff and Nor
rison went for Howard, and caught
him in the act of selling two dressed
hogs (minus head and ears). They
arrested hiEa, and went with him
to his house to make further search.
Morrison went out, leaving Carkuff
and the prisoner in the house; the
negro, watching his chance, made a
murderous assault on Mr.. Carkuff,
striking him fearful blow in the
forehead with a brick. He then at
tempted to run, but Carkuff seized
an old musket, and with a couple
of well-directed blows brought him
to the floor. Morrison came up at
this time, and the prisoner was Sc
cured and brought to Jail. Mr.. Car
kuff's wound is not dangerous,
though very painful. He was much
consoled by his physician, who, on
being asked ''if the features would
be disfigured, replied "Oh, no; I.

On last Wednesday Officer Frank
Phillips arrested a negro, Peter
Hawkins, for stoning passenger
train at Cherry Station some two or
three months since. AT the time
the affair occurred Col. Montgom-
cry gave the case to Mr.. Phillips,
asking him to work it up, which he
has been very quietly and effective
ly doing ever since. Tt seems that
Conductor Lawton had put a young
negro man off the steps of the car at
Cherry's, which so angered him that
as the train was starting he threw a
heavy stone, which just missed the
conductor and went crashing thro'
the car. The negro then ran off.
Two or three parties saw the throw
ing, but did not know the negro's
name. This one, though suspected
at the time, has made himself scarce
and it was not until last week that
he could be seen, when he was fully
identified by two witnesses. AS
soon as Mr.. Phillips got the proof
positive he "scooped him inn and
turned him over to the jailer.
It is to be hoped that the severest
penalties of the law will be visited
on all persons convicted of such
crimes, as they are becoming entire
ly too common for either comfort or
safety.

the Grange Warehouse Associa-
ton.


The Grange Warehouse AssOeia-
ton.
All popular movements have
gold, silver and iron in them, and
also straw stubble and other trash
the better material abides the test
of time, and the trash is consumed
in the trial. The Grange movement
is no exception to that rule. AT its
starting it projected many things
which were not practicable and
would not have been beneficial if
they could have been carried out.
These have long ago been relin-
pushed, and the Grange Warehouse
is the embodiment of what was
sound in the movement, and has
therefore survived and is in a -four
ishing condition. 1t is established
on the principle that tobacco
raising and tobacco selling can
be better done by men acting
in concert with one another than by
men antagOnizing one another, and
its present fiourishing business is
the unanswerabIe testimony to the
soundness of the principle. Under
the guidanceof such officers as VIM.
F. Taylor, President; Thomas M.
Atkins, Secretary, and Thomas
Herndon, Superintendent, it will
deserve to prosper. Read its an
nual statement in our advertising
columns.
