A MAN giving his name as Geo.
Smith, who has been in Jail here
for some time, charged with rob-
berry, was brought before Judge
Tyler last Wednesday, on writ of
hGdeds corpus, and after hearing the
evidence in the case, the Judge de
cided tlrat it was sufficient to hold
him to await the action of the
grand jury, and in default of bail,
he was remanded to Jail. 1t seems
that this representative of the nu,
merous family of Smith is bad
citizen, as the sheriff holds a war
rant for him for obtaining money
under false pretenses from Shelby
q Co., of the Graeey warehouse, by
drawing on a crop of tobacco which
grew only in his own fertile imagi-
nation. Geo. Harris says he also
stole a house and lot, which GER
tainly entities him to the pastry as
a kleptOmaniac.

Ice-Cream FcstivnI.

D
The ladies of the University and
City Park Association will give an
ice-cream supper, with other attrac-
tive features, on Tuesday night, Ju-
ly, 26, at the residence of Mr.. B. HI.
Owen. We hope the citizens of
GAINESVILLE will join the ladies,
heart and hand, in this noble enter
prise of identifying the college
campus.
Go to the supper Tuesday night.
For the small sum of twenty-five
cents you will have cake and cream
served you by maidens more beau
titul than the poets dream of fair wo-
men.
In addition to the pleasures of the
palate, Miss Byrne will have an
art gallery, where the artistic eye
may delight itself at the moderate
charge of ten cents. Some of the
pictures are astonishingly true to
nature. Miss Byrne is also willing
to give each visitor his or her men,
tai photograph without extra
charge. And who has not exclaim-
ed with the poet
80 wad some power the gift gee us,
To see ourselves as others sec rs.
The whole affair is in the hands
of competent and tasteful commit
tee. Go and show your hearty APP
probation of their efforts.
