CAST OFF FINERY.
What Ladies DO With Costumes
That KaVe Made WOrth's
Head Ache.
New York Journal.

1t is mystery to many people what
fashionable and wealthy ladies do With
the dozens of beautiful and costly
dresses they buy every year. A
wealthy New York woman who goes
into society, must have every year at
least six morning dresses, six carriage
dresses, a dozen ball and dinner
dresses, besides tea gowns, reception
toilet, wrappers for her dressing
rooms, fancy dresses and dozens Of
light summer toilets, a fresh one being
put on every day during the warm
weather. The bonnets and hats. the
half soiled gloves, the lace and stock
iugs and handkerchiefs needed by
these women of wealth are without
number. The lady's maid comes in
for good share of the dresses, etc.,
but there are very few women who
think Of giving their last years silk,
satin and velvet dresses to the French
maid.
Many OF them use their cast of
dresses to replenish their pin money.
That is, they sell them to second hand
men and women who get rich ON the
inexperience of many OF these women.
Of course they have common sense
enough to take of the lace trimming,
or buckles, etc, that adorn the dressesj
but they sell them for a mere nothing.
The reason why they do this is not
obvious to anybody but a woman. She
understands the solid satisfaction of
making q bargain" aud handling
money she has earned" herself.

The Board of Health met Thurs
day night, in view of the proximity
and alarming spread of smallpox
elsewhere, and decided to enforce
the city ordinance requiring all
persons residing in the city to be
vaccinated. The Board decided to
divide the city and surrounding
suburbs into four wards or sections,
and appointed competent physi-
clans to take one each of these d.
visions and make a close house to
house visitation and vaccinate or
revaccinate all persons not thought
to be properly inocculated. This
vaccination will be absolutely free,
and it is hoped every person in the
city, white or colored, will readily
submit to the ordinance.
DIR. Carney, the regular county
physician, was invited to cooperate
with the city Board of Health, and
was assigned section of the city.
The physicians who will make
these visitatIons are Drs. G. w.
Beaumont, A. M. Trawick, J. McH.
Massie and n. l.. Carney. They
have secured pure fresh vaccine
virus and Will commence their
rounds on Monday.
Our city is as yet entirely free of
this dread scourge, and if the citizens
will properly aid in the carrying out
of these protective measures, we
will in all probability escape it

Death of Mr.. John L. Andrews.

The friends and acquaintance OF
the young man whose name heads
this notice were saddened on Thurs
day morning last to hear the an
nouncement of his death, which
untimely event occurred on Wednes-
day night previous at ii O'Clock,
after lingering illness of consump-
ton. He was a son of Mr.. III. E.
Andrews, of Meriwether and Gill
mer's City Mills, and was regarded
by all who knew him as Il young
man of fine intelligence, bright
promise, and had he been spared
for a longer life, would doubtless
have made his mark in life's battle.
He was only in the nineteenth year
of his age. He bore his long suffer
ing with manly resignation, and
yielded up his young life with no
fear of the mysterious future. His
funeral took place at the family
residence, on Spring street, at 2
o'clock on yesterday afternoon, the
Rev. J. d. Barbee officiating. In
terment at Greenwood Cemetery.
To his bereaved parents and SORROW
ing brothers and sisters, the SYM

GAINESVILLE has had cause to con-
graduate herself upon the great
security afforded against fire since
the establishment of water-works
here. At almost every fire we
have had since the water-wOrks
were completed the fire-plugs have
been brought into use, and their
work has been so effective that
whatever doubts may have existed
In the minds of our people as to
their use and efficiency in extin-
gushing fires and protecting prop
erty, have long since vanished, and
now everybody is q friend of the
water-works.
The prejudice that once existed
previous to their thorough trial has
been completely dissipated, and
now everyone who owns property
wants fire-plug stationed right at
his door. There are now only forty
fire-plugs i'm the city, and although
these are Stationed at very impor-
tant points and cover a large area of
the city, still there are yet many
unprotected portions of the city
which undoubtedly ought to have
this necessary protection against
fire. We might go into particulars
and specify these points, but this is
not necessary. The fact is known
to all Observant citizens who have
given the matter thought, and
many taxpayers have brought the
matter to the attention of the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen, and urged
the erection of additional e-plugs.
The Board had the subject before it
at its last meeting, and the matter
was referred to the fire committee
to examine into and report. We
do not know what will be the re-
port of this committee, but we GER
tainly think there ought to be some
additional fire-plugs erected. Mes
sers j. HI. Pank, of Louisville, and
Frank SchefOld, Superintendent of
the New Albany Water-wOrks,
gentlemen who are interested in
the water-works here, were in the
city on Tuesday, and were before.
the committee upon the subject of
these additional plugs, and propose
to furnish them to the city at what
we consider reasonable terms. The
matter will come before the Board
at its meeting next Wednesday
night. when we suppose final action
will be taken. We believe the citI-
zens are in favor of all fire protec-
ton that can be secured at reasona-
BILE expense. The benefits to be de-
rived from all possible fire protec-
ton, both in the matter OF insur-
ance and in the saving of valuable
property, are too numerous and pa
tent to be here discussed. We
merely wish to inform the public |
what action the Board is taking in
the matter, and to assure them that |
it is awake to the importance of the |
subject.

+ We are sorry to be called upon to
chronicle the death of one of our
old and highly respected citizens,
Mr.. Joel w. Smith, who departed
this life on Tuesday, 3''th inst, at l
o'clock p. m, at the residence of
his son-in-law, Mr.. John Hurst,
after short illness of eight days,
of congestion of the lungs. Al
though advanced i'm years, being
within three days of sixty-seven
years of age, he was considered
strong, hale and well-preserved old
man, and his death after so short an
illness, was sudden and unex-
pected blow to his family and
friends.
He was born i'm Louisa county,
Va, February 2, 1916, enigrated to
Todd county, KY, in 1853, where
he engaged in farming until his re-
moval to this city about 1872, where
he has resided ever since; part of

business. He was quiet, reserved
Christian gentleman, a member of
the Methodist church, upright, hon.
orable and liberal in all his dealings
with his fellow man. and possessed
kind genial, sympathetic nature.
He was devoted to his family and
friends, and was universally liked
and respected by all who knew him.
He was the father of Capt. A. F. |
Smith, now of Brooklyn, N. Y, of
Mrs. John Hurst and of the late o.
G. Smith, of this city. He was also
a brother of Capt. Thos. III. Smith
and Mr.. Fred Smith, of this city. |
His aged wife survives him, to
whom and a large circle of relatives
and friends our sincere sympathy is
extended in their deep bereave-
ment. The funeral services were
conducted on Wednesday after
noon at 2 O'clock by the Rev. J. ID
Barbee. Services at the grave. In
terment at Greenwood Cemetery.

There is but one preventive of
smallpox known, and that is the
mild and harmless vaccinia or cow
pox, propagated by vaccination.
That none shall have reasonable
excuse for further delaying this i'm
portant operation, the Mayor and
Aldermen have ordered a house to
house visitation by competent ply
sicians for the purpose of vaccinat-
ing all unprotected persons. So
each householder, white and black,
in the town and immediate suburbs,
may expect the immediate call of an
appointed physician to discharge
that duty.
