A Word to Business Men.

The Memphis Avalanche very per-
tinently ! remarks that che more
widely the newspapers OF city are
known the greater the glory of the
city, as well AS the newspaper. They
have direct tendency towards
building up its trade, eXerting an in
fluence in its favor which could not
be done through any Other agency"
The LEAF-CHRONICLE is filling
this mission for GAINESVILLE as rapidly
AZ circumstances will admit. The
proprietOrs have spared neither
money nor energy in eXtendings its
circulation and usefulness and people
are speaking the praise of the paper
and the enterprise of GAINESVILLE PEG.
plo wherever ii goes. But to accom-
pllsh the greatest good the paper
should have the active cooperation
and support of every business man
n the city. Just now il the time
the LEAF-CHRoNICLE should present
the advertisement of every tlrst-class
merchant in GAINESVILLE, by which
the trade will be benefited and the
paper enabled to enlarge its service
and increase the benefits.
Dull times furnish no excuse for
Withholding advertising. The bus
mess man should keep his name and
business constantly before the public.
Suppose the newspapers should slack
en- their energy or suspend for dull
times, what would be the situation
of the town and its general business {?
Could GAINESVILLE afford It? Would
the people even be willing to do
without lively daily paper? Sup.
pose all business men should suspend
advertising on account of dull times,
what would be the general loss to
the vital interests of the trade Yet
such Is the policy of some. Now is
the time that business interests
should present solid front and make
itself known through the press to all
men. The LEAF-CHRoNICLE circu-
lates in all of the adjoining COUNT 5,
and will give its patrons full returns
for space taken in its columns.

SENATOR BECK. elected. In the SEN
ate Mr.. Beck was for many years MEM
ber of the Committee on Appropriations
and the Committee on Finance and he
was admittedly the best informed Demo-
crat in the Senate on the tariff question
and always leader in the debates on
silver.
Mr.. Becll's death was not unexpected
by those who knew him in the Senate,
although he and his friends had assured
every one of late that he was growing
better rapidly. The illne s which ended
fatally began little less than two
years ago, when he was threatened with
heart trouble.
All about the Capitol were heard the
most sincere and earnest expressions of
regret. Mr.. Beck was extr emely popu-
lar with the members of the Senate and
its employees and officers alike. He had
many warm friends on the Republican
side of the chamber and no enemies.

dead were read by Father Muldoon,
chancellor of the diocese, and after il
had been sprinkled with holy water il
was lowered into the tomb. Then the
members of the ladies' committee began
to strew flowers upon the coffin lid and
before the two wagon loads which they
had brought with them had been ex.
hausted, the grave was filled to the
brin:.
1t is intended to erect monument
over the grave at cost of not less than
$1,000 and also to beautify the surround.
