His Rights Waiver in the Balance.

A CHRONICLE reporter started out

elected Aldermen and ascertain, il pos

cine is importunate and anxious to know
what the sovereigns did for him in the
recent election.
The first man the reporter accosted
was DR.. W. A. Shelby, who expressed it
MS his abiding faith and bedrock prnci-
pie that the GAINESVILLE porker should he
+ given the freedom of the city. He will
vote for the laws repeal.
The reporter snatched Mr. w. A.
Settle away from a candidate for bridge
keeper and put the ominous question
TO him very directly, Hog or no hog ?"
He answered with a smile that was
"childlike and bland " and then becom-
ing NOR serious, said, "Well you know

ordinance was passed, and consequently

The reporter waited short time in
Mr.. Clay Stacker's Office trying to find
that gentleman and while he was there,
sixteen candidates for policemen and as
many for bridge-keeper came in on the

was lodging his Office TO get rid Of the

DR. Earnest Beach is no hog man

set down without any questioning that
he will vote to sustain the ordinance.
Mr.. W. L. Gilbert like Mr.. Settle, is
non-eommiltal. He prefers to think
about the matter further before express
ing his opinion publicly. He says he
promised the advocates OF repeal in
his ward before the election, that he
would vote for the repeal if the ward
voted that way. He considers that the

The Circulation Question.

The editor Of the Democrat is yer,
sarcastic young man, and makes very
original use of lower case letters in
manner that is quite whitening. Blu
the question ut issue between the two
papers is a plain matter of fact, anC
when such a point is raised, the wit anC
brilliancy OF the able editor is lost. The
CHRONICLE shrinks from no test tina
will ascertain the relative circulation o
this paper and that Of the Democrat, bu
having made the first proposition, We
insist that it be given fair trial before
any other is resorted to. III the sub.
scription books and mailing lists of each
paper be submitted to the inspection o.
business men, they can very readily
satisfy themselves, not only as to the
number of subscribers, but as to their
character. The Democrat raises the
point of character, but the test it pro
poses would not decide it.
The facts, as far as we have been able
to ascertain them, are as follows: The
Democrat publishes weekly about S5C
papers, and the CHRONICLE publishes
about 800.
AS far as making inquiry of post
masters is concerned, the CHRONICLE
sends out several hundred papers weekly
in private packages. The CHRONICLE
Office is considerable postoifce in it
self. A large number OF people keeI
boxes here and get all their mail through
us. We distribute several copies OF thu
Democrat by this means every week
There are a number Of large commune
lies that prefer to receive their pa
pers in this way because the mails don
run to suit them.
Then, too, the city circulation, which
is delivered by carriers, would be ig
nored il the postmasters were consulted
Any one who wishes to do so can in
quire at the postonice here of the amour
of mail matter sent off every week b,
the two papers.

Sam Jones In Cincinnati.



An impression has gone abroad that
the preaching OF Rev. Sam Jones and
Mr.. Sam Small in this city is to some
extent business enterprise on their
part, for which they are literally paid.
The fact is, these gentlemen are not
here under contract at all, and no stipu-
lated price is paid them. Toward the
conclusion OF his mornings sermon at
Wesley Chapel, Sam Jones alluded to
this matter in about these words:
Shouting is a good thing. l like to
hear a fellow shout, but it is mighty
cheap. 1t doesn't cost cent, A man
can shout all night with the gas only
half turned on, and he can put the gas
out and still shout all night. don t
mind shouting. do some of il myself

good thing, but it is mighty cheap. A
fellow said, Il would not have missed
that sermon last night for ten dollars,
but when the box went around he put

you are contributing to me in those
hats and plates. But l will tell you this
much Whenever this congregation will

Supreme Court Decision.

The following decision of the Su-
preme Court is reported in the Nash
vile Union of yesterday: Mrs. Lyon,
OF Montgomery county, held lands in
Robertson county, and sold the same to
j. w. Ford, and justice of the peace
of Robertson county took Mrs. Ligon s
acknowledgement, at her home in
Montgomery county. Held, the ac-
acknowledgements was null and void. In
taking her privy examination the com
missioner made an improper certificate,
and subsequently proceedings were had
to correct the certificate and make the
same conform to the statute Held,
that this could be done provided the
privy examination was properly taken
but proper certificate cannot cure an
imperfect or insufficient examination
Each of the qualifying words in the
statute is essential to the validity of the
deed of femme c0ver. The absence OF
any of them vitiates the deed. Such
defects cannot be cured by subsequent
amendments however solemn. A COM
missioner can be examined to impeach
his official acts Section 24Sl OF the
code does not create a technical sepa-
rate estate in the wife Judge Turney
delivered the opinion. The cause was
remanded."

SINCE Mr.. Earnest Beech was elected
an Alderman Saturday, he has already
fattened several pounds and will no
doubt assume the physical proportions
that the Office demands, before his term
expires. HIS unpromising appearance
in this regard, was the only reasonable
objection to him that was urged during
the canvass. The argument didn't have
the weight it would have otherwise
had except that his opponent, Mr.. Car
Isle, had held the office for some time
and failed to fatten as a good Alderman
should have done.

AVALANCHE: DR.. Mary Walker
claims to have been a nurse and Il med
ical attendant during the war. One OF
Dir. Moll's feats as nurse consisted OF
entering a GAINESVILLE church during
the war, plucking the flowers from a
vase ond trampling them on the floor
in front of the congregation because she
said they held the confederate colors in
combination. That was part OF a nurse s
business perhaps. But these are by
cones. Oh, bother the flowers that
bloomed in the war.

Death of John Dubois.

Mr.. John Dubois, the millionaire lumber
man and founder of Dubois, Pa, died on
Wednesday of last week, in his 18th year.
His nephew, John E. Dubois, becomes sole
proprietor of his vast estate. Mr.. Dubois
exemplified the possibilities of industry, ener-
gy and enterprise in this country. He began
life without dollar, a poor farmer boy, and
left an estate valued at several million dol
lars. In 1878 on a barren waste in Pennsyi-
vania he founded a town, which has now
grown to 1000 population. He owned thous
ands of acres of timber land and was chiefly
engaged in the lumber business. In addition
to his lumber enterprises Mr.. Dubois built
and carried on machine shop and foundry,
pattern shop, and an immense tannery, while
hotel constructed by him is the largest
and finest in that section of the State. The
opera house which he began little over a
year ago is nearly completed and is model
of architectural design. If the man is pub
lie benefactOr who makes two blades of grass
grow where one grew before, he is none the
less benefactor to his fellow beings who
sets in motion vast enterprises, giving en-
ployment and the means of living to thous-
ands. John Dubois died rich in this worlds
goods, but it was riches honestly acquired
and hundreds shared in his prosperity.
