SILVER WEDDING.
A Firm That Has Been in Business
Twenty-Five Years To-day.

Just twenty-five years ago to-day
the firm Of Fox & Smith was organ
lied. They are celebrating their sill
yer wedding, as it were, to-day.
They say that silver is so scarce that
they will just talk hardware instead
Of that precious metal. The history
of this firm is interesting. On
August l6, 1865, Capt. Thos. III.
Smith and f. f. Fox entered into
the hardware business under the firm
name of Fox & Smith. Their bust
ness house then occupied part of
the ground now covered by Lockert
& Reynolds drug sore and the
Bowling building. 1t was known
as the Beaumont stand. The
stock of goods first purchased
was worth about $500, but this
was soon augmented by adj
ditional stock. The firm enjoyed
good share of public patronage at
this stand for period of ten years,
when the stock was moved 10 the
Elder house, now Occudied by Nc
Gehce Bros. as family grocery.
For twelve years the firm conducted
business at this stand, and before the
expiration of this term of years had
built up a good trade, doing fine
wholesale business as well as retail
The fire of 1887 damaged the stock
somewhat, and also burned the ware
house; otherwise the firm has had
no losses from fire, having escaped
the great fire of 1878. In December,
1887, they moved to their present
house. The firm of Fox d Smith
is now enjoying good share of the
trade of the GAINESVILLE tobacco dis
tr!ct. This has been accomplished
by square and upright dealing and
also by strict adherence to business
principles. The stock consists of
everything in the hardware line,
from n thrcshing machine TO peck
ct knife.
They have always kept standing
advertisement in the TOBACCO LEAF
CHRONICLE and know the benefit of
printers ink as we'll as any firm in
the city.
John Fox and Chas. Smith, sons
respectively of f. +. Fox and Capt.
Smith, are statesmen in the house,
and it is safe to say that when the
members of the firm are gone there
will still be a firm Of Fox & Smith
doing business in GAINESVILLE. The
LEAF CHRONICLE wishes the present
firm as much success in the next
twenty-five years as it has enjoyed in
the past.

The SUGAR TARIFF.
An Experts Exceptions to The Provisions
Of the House Bill.

WASHINGTON, June Henry A. Brown
of Massachusetts, a wellknown sugar ex-
pert and political economist. has addressed
an open letter to the members Of the FL
nance Committee, taking strong grounds
against the House Tariff Bill Sugar Sched-
ule. Brown fortifieS his statesments with Off
cial data, facts and deductions, which he
presents coneisely and with great force.
He shows that instead of only or 10 per
cent of sugar annually consumed in this
country being produced here, as some have
claimed in Congress- that nearly II per cent
was produced in the United States last
year, and that the proportion of Ameri-
can sugar is rapidly increasing. Brown
claims that the consumption OF sugar IN this
country IS greater than IN Great Britain,
where low-grade sugar Is fed to cattle. and
that considering the money dlShursed for
producing and refining sugar in this coun
try, which equals the duty paid, sugar is
cheaper here than i'll any other country.
He claims that the raising OF the color line
from Is to 16 Dutch standard cannot cheaper
sugar to consumers, but will benefit foreign
producers only, and argues that fOur-tenths
of the act is no protection to American re-
finers, and If a bounty tax is to be forced
on the people, it should apply to every
pound of sugar of any grade and every kind
produced in this country.
He says that not less than 100000 wage
earners depend on our sugar industries for
the support of four times that number of
men, women and children. among whom
are 250,0O0 negroes, who will be driven 10
starve or steal if the industry is destroyed.
There Is no evidence" he said, that any
large body of consumers of sugar in this
country have asked or desire Congress to
abolish the sugar duties and destroy one of
the grandeSt and most extensive industries
in the country, in order that they may save

BIsMARCK'S DOCTOR.
His Frankness Made the Chancellor
Trust in Him.

His Frankness Made the Chancellor
Trust in Him.
Professor Sehwenninger owes his post as
the permanent doctor Of Prince Bismarck
to his extremely frank fidelity. He is
second Abernethy in the brusqueness with
which he treats his patients. The great
statesman was plagued for years by his in
durable nervous excitement and his ever
recurring gout, though il permitted him to
eat well, drink well, work prodigi0usly and
smoke amazingly. No doctor could help
him until he had the good fortune to get
into the hands Of the Bavarian professor,
the only man, it is said, who has ever had
power enough over Bismarck to compel him
to obey.
At his first visit, DR.. Schwenninger found
the patient in his glOomiest and most hope
less mood. The physician began to cate
chize the Chancellor about his past life.
"That is no matter Of yours" said Bis
marck; II want you to deal with my pres
ent condition" "If that is the case" said
the bold Bavarian, you had better send
for cattle-doctor; he would not be in the
habit of putting questions to his patients"
He took up his hat and made for the door.
But Bismarck, suddenly laughing in the
midst of his groaning, laid hold Of the In
dependent doctor and said: believe,
after all, you are my man." He has never
lost faith in the doctor from that day till
now. He is such model OF docility. and
compliance toward this one man that there
may be some excuse for the notion that DR..
Schwenninger must have hypn0tized him.

After wild hurrahing and a carousal last
night, band Of unknown vandals started

Grated. On the beautiful mosaic arch in
Memorial Hall "To with Yale" was
daubed. and the stone work in all the nu-
merous halls was similarly treated. The
damage will reach thousands of dollars,
because the porous stone absorbs the paint
and it has to be chiseled away. The Faculty
are furious. They have shut down on. all
future intercollegiate contests and are
searching for the cuprts to expel them
and turn them over to the police. The
students have called mass-meeting also
to denounce the vandalism.
