oNerwhelming Expression OF Popular sem
ument In Regard to Additional Taxation
for tho Perfection of her school system,
GAINESVILLE, March S0,-[Special, l.
Last night a large mass meeting OF our
citizens was held at the courthouse for the
purpose OF getting at popular sentiment In
regard to the policy of further taxing tie
people to erect another scnool building.
Last year Gainesville erected an elegant
and commodious building at 4 cost oi Sl4..
wv, but so great reputation has she
gained on account OF her school facilities
and advantages that even this commodious
ohllulng mas proven insufficient TO meet
the demand. Over GOO pupils have
been enrolled during the present
scholastic year, and many OF them
have been unable TO attend school for want
OF sufficient seating capacity in the build.
Ing, So last night when the resolutions
were introduced condemning the policy OF
further taxing the people TO increase our
city school facilities they were met at the
very threshold with such terrible repuse
that not single anti-tax man of the num-
per VINO had come to wage war TO the knife
could be found to champion the cause, and
even the old veteran who introduced the
resolutions begged leave to withdraw them,
ana looked as though he wished to apollo.
glze for what he had done. Mr. j. III. Gar.
nett ana Judge Lindsay both made elo.
quent and torcible remarks in regard to the
advantages Gainesville had derived and
would continue TO derive from her school
facilities A motion was then made to en-.
dorse the building of another school nulld.
ing, at cost of not less than $4,000, which
was carried without a dissenting voice, aud
the applause that followed was like the roll
OF thunder.

known young gentleman, also of Louisville,
paying her attentions, and both beingpossessed
ofspcculative spirit, and unknown to the other,
purchased 81 ticket in tho Commonwealth

each took half ticket with the same num-
bcr, and when the drawing terminated they
had drawn 5000 each, their number having
drawn the $4,000 prize. When the young
gentleman called to tell his good fortune, his
surprise was great to find his sweetheart was
