The Bwsted Companys Saie.-The heart of
many Teuton creditor of the Gainesville Land
and Loan Association palpitated with joyful re-
lief on the 4th inst, when auctioneer Matthews, OF
city fame, ran up the various remaining proper
ties of the Association to the highest bidders.
Prosperity, like charity, begins at home, and
when the natives, in this instance, outbid
strangers in their appreciation of real estate
it may be considered that they are awakening to
our values and bent on making our village bloom
and blossom the rose. Mr.. NJ. the right
man in the right place and it was with little
amusement that he obeyed the advice of an all
knowing villager and toned down his lightning
cerity for the benefit of that class of rustcs who
think twice and speak once generally and double
it when jumping $25 at bound
4 Great Iarention.-A short distance from Ca
louisville, in an humble house a rough farm,
lives man destined to become famous inventor,
though like most of that class of world beneiitng
people, he has, in the long struggle for mastery,
received not the cheering aid due his genius and
indefatigabiity. His invention consists in re-
ducing ores by process far more easy and
thorough than any yet known. The large amount
of precious metal left in by the ineficiency of
present methods, his process secures an toto lie
has of late been securing q comfortable income
from the workings of his first, or, he calls it,
crude patent, but in the future, when the per-
fected invention supercedes all others, and by its
possible improvements which others might add
and enjoy, there will be "millions in it, for the
patient genius at his eleventh hour.
Visiting his old Home.-Rev. DIR. Van Bokke-
len, the founder, and for long time the we'll be-
loved rector of st. Timothys church and Hall, but
now located at Buffalo, N. Y, has been on visit
to this locality and Sunday, Sth inst, gave,
he modestly termed it, ga little talk" to large
congregation of his friends and admirers at
new Presbyterian church. 1t is well known that
the Dr.ewas obliged to resign his charge of st
Timothy's during the civil war on account of his
Northern procivities. Acknowledging the par
donableness of congregation, in part, at enmity
with pastor, at time when, in the horror of
war, brother against brother and son against
father, it does not bespeak to the outsider very
great recognition of the fundamental precepts of
christianity when that congregation, in part,
in the of long years, failed to forgive and
forget and extend to him the brotherly courtesies
of men and christians. The soldiers ire has sub
sided, the statesman's vituperation has almost
ceased, the two extreme sections avevied in heal
ing the wounds of war, but the wrath of Cations
Vile churchmen exceeds them all and promises to
be the same yesterday, o-day and forever. With
the Doctors departure this vicinity lost its most
spirited citizen the poor their best friend,
and the church one of those rare examples that
can show forth through meekness and wisdom the
adaptability of christianity to the practical bust
ness matters Of everyday life.
lie Nude Mstdke.-An aspiring, polite and
voluble young member of the Baltimore bar, dur
ing n recent visit to our library, met there two of
his old friends in the persons of two leading
churchmen. Observing them totally oblivious of
each other, he thought an introduction would be
the proper thing. A gracious introduction fol-
lowed, but to the young mans establishment it APP
peared that the two COMMITMENTS of the same
altar at swords points, and neither accepted
the gratuitous introduction. The one muttered
''met before and the other, whom the boys call
Saint SoandsO, out of recognition of his alacrity
in church and Sunday school matters, maintained
the silence cOeval with eternity. The polite young
man must have a forerunner in the person of
peace maker he can successfully fulfill his mis-
sion hereabOuts.
Teleqrdph TrouJics-The serenity of several of
our best citizens was not long ago disturbed by
the magical appearance of line of large telegraph
poles set in our lanes and avenues at every con-
ceivable angle, seemingly as stills for heather
god. Under one pretense or another these several
citizens were going to combat the telegraph men,
either under process of law constabulary force;
but after sufficiently recovering from their first
shock matters were amicably settled and the tele-
graph men climbed their poles rejoicing. The
truth is that ours is classic village. Telegraphs,
railroads factories and the various noisy, modern
APPENDICES which other places deem necessary for
thrift, are not among the contributions sought by
her sages for her welfare To have the groves
where doctors walk and lovers coo Topped on their
borders by the ruthless of the pole was be-
yond endurance. To such sights suggestive
of Russian electric tortures is enough However,
as the ice is broken, and onr by paths have be
come the highway for colossal twenty -four wire
telegraph line, the city business men among
hope that our village will be found the suitable
path also for as grand railway system, when the
ancient citizen, who snorts at steam may HE away
to the reservations of the peaceful White Grounds
and the modern innovators raise her to the proud
distinction in her title which she once vainly
sought by meeting on Jerry" Storm sporch.
