This gentleman has recently come
to GAINESVILLE from Indiana. He is
a dentist and has located in the room
formerly occupied by the Democrat
over STATIONS shoe store. He has
practiced his profession for several
years and comes we'll recommended
as a dentist. He does all kinds OF
mechanical, surgical and operative
dentistry at low prices. DIR. Mark
well is a gentleman of easy manners
and pleasant address. He would
like for GAINESVILLE people to visit his
parlors whether work is wanted or
not. He will take pleasure in show
ing any one through his parlors and
giving them prices on work.
Gold filings and crown bridge
work are made speciality and work
is guaranteed. For the next sixty
days he proposes to make special
rates on W ork for the purpose of in
Producing himself to the people of
GAINESVILLE and surrounding country.
The Doctor treats and fills all kinds
of diseased teeth without pain.
Ether, laughing gas, etc, are admin
istered at the request of patrons. He
has also a newly discovered local
anesthetic which he uses in extract
ing teeth. This new discovery is
painless, and will do away with the
pain attendant upon extracting teeth.
The dental profession has made Won
derful progress in this line of late,
and person does not dread having
a tooth extracted now 50 much as a
few years ago. DIR. Maxwell intro
duces all of these new appliances in
his profession, and can be found at

THE LIGHT QUESTION.
The City Council ana the Electric Light
Co. at Loggerheads.

The city authorities and the Elec-
trie Light Co. are again at logger
heads. AT the meeting of the board
of Aldermen Thursday night the
Electric Light Company made a
proposition to furnish the city TWEEN
ty-eight lights at 81 90 per month
per light. 1t was voted to accept
this proposition by the board, but
Chairmon John Hurst, of the Light
committee, thought at the time that
the city could get along with fewer
lights, provided fifteen of them were
raised thirty-five feet from the
ground, and told the board so. The
matter was dropped in this position.
Later ON during the session the ques-
ton o. light for the city was called
up the second time. 1t was then or
dered by the board that the commit
tee on lights contract with the Electric
Light Company for twenty or twen-
ty-five lights at $500 per month.
This the Electric Light Company re-
fuse to accept. They want the TWEEN
ty-eight lights as per proposition, or
none. The president Of the company
told a LEAF-CHRONICLE reporter
this morning that the company
would not enter into contract for
twenty-five lights at $500 per month
per light. Mr.. Hurst says the city
cannot afford to pay for more than
twenty-five lights at the price asked,
an aggregate of 50, 100 against about
81, 300 for the full service of thirty
lights heretofore. The company
asks the city to pay more per light
for twenty-eight lights than it asks
of the individual who takes only
two lights. Mr.. Hurst says the COM
mittee can make other arrangements
for street lights.

SOMETHING NEW.
Festival of Commercial by La
dies of the Methodist
Church.
A Pen Picture of the Entertainment for
Those Wanting to Know More
About It.

Much curiosity is being taken now
in the forthcoming Commercial drill,
or the Festival of Commercial. The
public may well anticipate much
pleasure in the representation of
Clarksville's interests by the ladies
of the Methodist church. They are
rehearsing for it now, and the date
for the festival will be fixed later on.
The ladies do not want to make a
failure in the presentation and conse-
quently they are rehearsing every
week and will keep it up until they
have mastered it. Every industry,
of any note, in the city will be rep
resented.
The stage, whenever the festival is
held, will be elaborate, and will give
the ladies ample opportunity for
their drills.
The first scene will open with a
tableau representing the priestess
kneeling at the shrine of Commercial,
the goddess who will preside over
the destinies of GAINESVILLE. The
priestess will be represented by a
lady who will carry it to perfection
in every detail. The scene will close
with tableau, where the leader of
the embassy will enter and receive
the priestess' welcome.
The second scene will open with
the Goddess lmercia seated on
throne clad 'egal splendor and
presenting a b-Adtitul picture. She
will address the embassy, which will
consist of bevy of young ladies
selected from the society of the city.
This embassy, with floating banners,
will advertise many of the different
trades, callings and enterprises of the
city. These ladies will make obeis-
ance to the Goddess and will go
through a series of drills and labyrin-
thine mazes, picturesque and beauti-
full. At the expiration of the drill
the ladies representing the different
industries will advance in order from
their positions in the semi-circle
around the throne and address the
Goddess.
The entertainment is something
new for GAINESVILLE, and the LEAF
CHRONICLE predicts an unqualified
success,

them away. DIR. Shelby's gate was
taken to Emmett Morrow's and
deposited in his yard. Mr.. Nor
rows gate was taken from its place
and deposited on T. ID. Luc6ett's por-
tico. Mr.. Luckett's rustic chairs
were taken from the yard and put on

is nice fun for you, but should you be
caught at it you will find that there
is law covering the case. Paste

brought about the compromise and
named the day for the convention.

cised much influence, favored Aug.
II. Mr.. Moore, of Hamilton, moved
in favor of June 10. These two dates
were under general discussion when
Mr.. Savage made an earnest speech
for compromise, and named July Is,

withdrew their motions and the COM

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Jno. s. Miller Has His Hand AL
most Torn off by a Gunshot.
Terrible Consequences Attendant Upon
Toying with Gun When it was Load
ed-Amputation Necessary.

A shocking accident happened to
John S Miller, ex-editOr of the
GAINESVILLE Democrat, this morning.
He was sitting in the Office of L. A.
Ragsdale about 8 O'Clock, having a
dOuble-barreled breech-loading shot
gun in his hand, which was accident
ally discharged, sending load of
shot through his left arm just frac-
ton above the wrist. The hand was
torn almost off by the charge, render
ing amputation necessary. There is
no telling just at present how the
gun was discharged. Mr.. Miller was
sitting on a sofa in the Office toying
with the gun. w. B. Sheldon, who
is book-keeper for l.. A. Ragsdale, was
sitting in a chair near the table,
which is only a few feet from the
sofa. Mr.. Sheldon was not looking
at Mr.. Miller at the time the gun
was discharged. 1t is stated that
Miller asked some one after the acct
dent, how the load came to be in the
gun. He had been out hunting
Thursday afternoon, and on coming
in he took the shells out of the gun,
as he thought. He evidently left one
in the gun, as only one barrel was
loaded. Anyway it is a terrible ac-
cident and will lose him his left
hand.
His wife was summoned and the
scene was pathetic in the extreme
when she found her husband almost
unconscious from the pain and the
loss of blood. She stood the shock
firmly, however, and did not give
down under the trial.
The news soon brought crowd of
friends and curious people to the
spot, wanting to see the wounded
man. The doors were locked and
only the physicians and few init
mate friends were allowed in the of
fee. He was finally taken to his
home on First street, accompanied
by physicians and friends.
For the last four months Mr.. Mil
Ter has been in the insurance business,
and had been making it success.
He represents several leading fire
and reinsurance companies, and car
ried several thousand dollars in acct
