barbarOus indignities inflicted on
men who had bravely struggled in
unequal combat to vindicate the
rights their fathers left them.

SnLe of the Old Method,st Church.

Our brethren of the Cumber land
Presbyterian church have closed
the trade for the Methodist church
property on the corner of Franklin
and 9Th Sts.at s., 1850, possession to be
given ON the lst day Of September
next. 1t was, for the purposes for
which it was purchased, one of the
cheapest pieces of real estate ever
sold in GAINESVILLE. We under
stand that the house when built
cost $l6,00 Since then it has been
materially improved by inclOsing
the vestibuIe. The walls are in an
uncOmmOnly good state OF preser-
walton, having been originally one
of the best pieces of brick work in
the city. The location is excellent.
For a church the house and lot are
worth $1,000. There are obvious
reasons why the church was sold
cheap. First of all, the church was
not able to pay an approximation
to its value as house of worship.
The MethOdists also feel very kind
ly toward the Cumberland PreSby-
terrain pastor and congregation.
These facts coupled with the addi-
tional one that there was no other
church to whom it could have been
sold, explains the matter. The
purchasers feel very grateful to their
Methodist friends and also to the
public generally for the ready aid
given them in raising means to pay
for the building. They should be-
stir themselves now and never tire
till they have made all necessary
repairs, when they will have a very
handsome, comfortable and COM
mOdi0us church. We understand
that in addition to what they get
for their old church and the SUBJ
sCriptiOn raised they still lack
about $3.50 of the required purchase
money, and need about 81 900 to
put it in good repair. By this time
ly and judiciOus purchase the per-
manent establishment of this de-
nomination in GAINESVILLE is rem
dered nearly certain.

We will begin next week the Sc
rial story which was mentioned
several issues back. 1t is Frank
enstein f.; or the Modern Promethe-
u.s." by Mrs. NJ. w. Shelley, the
wife of the poet of that name. The
story is an old one, but we venture
its publication on the belief that
a large majority of our subscribers
have never had an opportunity to
read it. 1t was first published
about 1918, and has gone through
two London editions. The circum-
stances under which it was written
were interesting and probably had
something to do with its great pop
ularity. In the summer of 1916
when Lord Byron and Mr.. and
Mrs. Shelley were at Geneva, an
agreement was made that each of
the three should write "ghOst
story" The two poets were after
wards so much engaged in their
more important literary labors that
they neglected to fulfill their prom
ise5, but the lady was true to hers
and "Frankenstein" was the pro
duct.
We don't think that strictly
speaking Frankenstein could be
called "ghost story" it is unique
in character and would probably be
better classed as a "demon story"
if any such narratives are known to
literature. 1t is safe to assert that
nothing in English fiction that deals
with the supernatural has ever slIr-
passed it either in weird conception
or graphic deliniation. Every body
should read il.

TO our pAs7oa-REE !. o. sARsfE.

Your four years pastorate, my dear friend
With us, will soon be at am end;
At the post of duty you have stood
Zealously laboring for our good.
But, when there win be one to choose
To preach to those who fill our pews,
Twill be hard to md another
Who can MI your place, my Brother.
The rules of our church make it so,
You serve four years, but then must go
To teach-in some other field,
Gods will, as in His Word revealed.
Though oft 1t sunders social ties,
Time has proved it to be wise:
This great plan has rever failed,
Where sin, BY Truth, has been assailed.
Go where you may, we know you'll find
Friends true as those you leave behind;
With open heart and open hand,
We wish God-speed to that true band
Who, with all their zeal and might,
Work for the cause of Truth and Right:
Such servants, God will truly own,
And give TO each q crown and throne.
The love, which in yoGr heart doth burn,
VIII make all wish for your return;
So, when we part, let us attest,
You go, with our best wishes blest.
Death, the ties of friendship sever;
Such ties, in Heaven, last forever
May Pastor and flock all meet there,
And endless life together share.

MIR. AVERY MERRIwETHER
died at his home in Memphis last
Sunday, aged 90 years. He was a
young man of exceptionally bright
mind and his early death cuts short
a career that promised much. He
had been a close student and was
possessed of a great deal of informa-
ton for one of his years. Courage
Gus in expressing his opinions he
possessed in a large degree the
essentials of success. He had devO-
ted himself to literary persuits and
while lacking the originality neces-
sary to the successful author he was
eminently suited for the editorship
of a magazine. In the conduct OF
Merriwether's Weekly in Memphis,
he displayed MUCH ability in that
line and gained the reputation of a
pleasant and forcihle writer. His
death is q source of the deepest re-
greet.

The Telearnnh STRIKE.

The strike of the telegraph opera
tors has been the event of the week.
All operators belonging to what is
known as "The Brotherhood have
quit work and refused to resume
until the companies accede TO their
demand for higher wages. They
have conducted the strike In most
orderly manner and made no inter-
ference with operators who have
taken their places. This conduct
has won them much sympathy
from the public at large and 1t is
hoped that some agreement may be
reached that will result in benefit to
the hard-worked telegraphers. The
results of thestrike haye not affected
the business interest of the country
so seriously as was expected.
Enough outside operators have
been secured to transmit the most
important news. Stock exchanges
and such like institutions that re-
quire momentary dispatches have
been the principal sufferers. Both
sides seem determined and there
are no indications that an agree
ment will be reached soon.

to the fact that the plank walk on
the river pike, just this side of the
City Cemetery, is in a very danger
Gus condition, whole sections being
without props and saggIng down a
foot or two below the original level
of the walk. In many places the

it extremely dangerous to pedestri-

Now when the year grows senes-

the approach of dog days, snakes
and snake literature are beginning
to circulate. All snake stories are
regarded more or less with a degree
of suspicion and we therefore deem
it necessary to preface the follow
ing with an assurance that it is the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. A very large snake,
measuring three feet in length was
killed by Miss Eta Westenberger,

about 3 Inches long inside of it. If
