GRATIFYING To ALL.

The high position attained and the
universal acceptance and approval of
the pleasant liquid fruit remedy Syrup
of Figs, as the most excellent laSa-
tive known, illustrate the value of the
qualities on which its success is based
and are abundantly gratifying to the
California Fig Syrup Company.

Estimated For All He Is Worth.

Col. George W. Hooker has formally
entered the field as candidate for Con-
gress against Gen. Grout.
Considering his character and antece-
dents, it is difficult to regard Col Hook
er's candidacy in serious light. 1t is
certainly not obvious what his qualifica-
tions are for the place he seeks. He is
simply ''smart fellow" of a type CON-
mon enough, liberal, genial, who would
sacrifice anything to obtain popularity.
Indeed, he long ago sacrificed his dignity
and his self-respect. 1t is easy to say
what he is. and it is also easy to say what
he is not. lie is not man of thorough
education or of culture in any direction
he is the last man of whom any one would
expect any solid or useful work in he So
luton of any great political or social
question; he is not man of fixed prin-
ciple; and his theory of morals and poll
tics is. eXcellently expressed in his we'll
kno An saying that the man is fool who
would not be Republican in Vermont
and Democrat in New York city. And
finally he has neither the character nor the
intellectual capacity that our representa-.
tive in Congress ought to have. 1t is un-
pleasant to be obliged to say these things
of a man who liked by all who know him
but when Col. Hooker aspires TO become
the agent and representative of the one
hundred ann sixty thousand people who
make up this Congressional district, the
time has come when the truth must be
| told at all hazards.
On the other hand Gen. Grout has
served the district, the State, the country
and the party with ability, highminded
ness and ever-incresing credit; and the
great majority of his constituents are sat
istied-as they have good reason to be-
with his conduct of his important trust

Dear SITTER: Thinking that some of
my friends in Bennington and Windham
counties would be glad to hear what a
Vermont 10Y thinks of this section of
the country. ] take this opportunity of
writing few-items on the subject, hop
ing it will interest my VerIuont friends
and attract their attention to this (the
Predmont section of South Carolina.
This Oconce county has an area of 1900
square miles and touches North Carolina
and Georgia. Walhalla, the county seat,
is thriving town of some 1000 inhabl-
tants. Situated about miles from West
minister. 1t was originally settled by the
Germans, but of late years, owing to its
favorable situation, has attracted many
Northern people who have come here to
regain health. The climate of Oconee is
splendid its altitude and its favorable sur
roundings contribute to envelope it with
pure atmosphere with less humidity
than is found in most Southern resorts,
and malaria is unknown. Oconee is no.
ted for the value and extent of its miner
ais. Iron, gold, corundum, mica, kaolin,
and marble being found in great abund-
ance, the latter of very fine quality and
color None of these minerals are work
ed at all, owing, to the lack of capital.
Farming land is cheap here, land can be
bought for from $l.00 up to $1,000 per
acre owing to situation, etc. There are
good schools, good churches, and good
society here. Of the other resources of
this county will speak anon and will
not weary you more at this time.

OCT. TWENTY THIRD
To Mark the Inauguration of
New Era.
Laying of the Corner Stone of the Gra-
eey Woodward Iron Furnace.
A Grand Gala Day.

As heretofore noted in the LEAF
CHRONICLE, several gentlemen met
at the courthouse a few evenings ago
to talk over the proposed wonderful
development that is promised here,
and it was unanimously determined
that the laying of the corner stone Of
the Gracey Woodward Iron Furnace
should be fittingly observed as mark
ing a gre t industrial era in the Ii
tory of the city.
The following gentlemen were APP
pointed to take the matter in hand,
and Thursday, Oct. 23d, will be made
the biggest day that has ever dawned
upon GAINESVILLE.

Colyar and others have been invited
to address the people on the occasion.
The English gentlemen who have re-
Gently purchased the Cumberland
Iron Works property, and who are
soon to be connected with GAINESVILLE
by rail, will also be invited guests.
A splendid band Of music will be
engaged, and the celebration will
take place on the furnace grounds,
beautiful grassy lawn for such an
occasion.
All troins on the railroads coming
into the city will run at half fare
rates, and special train will run
from the passenger depot TO the fur
mace grounds every five minutes
during the day free of charge.
The citizens will not be called upon
to subscribe or contribute anything
towards the expenses, except in the
way of making their own displays,
advertising their business, and we
suppose there will be no lack Of enter
prise in this line. Let u' celebrate
the event as its Importance demands.

In August last we called your at

wards transferred to another. After
this lapse of time, we find he fol.

A Clarksville capitalist offered a
subscription Of $4,000 if the enter
prise should be postponed another
year.
The list is withdrawn and all sub
scriptions cancelle /. We found that
the enterprise was us rule thought
well of, and many in words wished
it success. but apparently 4 per cent.
to 6 per cent. bonds We're preferred to
possible % per cent T. so per cent.
in manufac uring enterprises. We
may have started it the wrong way,
and should have asked for donations
instead of stock subscriptions. The
snuff factory will come some day,
and when The stock is worth 200 per
cent. premium surplus capital will
hunt for it.

is nice little farce comedy, and the
principal characters, the bachelors,
wanting to marry very badly, were
we'll delianeted by Harry Robinson
and Martin Golden. They were
greet d with many rounds of vigo-
rous applause. The music by the Or
chestra between acts is well worth
the price of admission, whether a
person cares anything about the play
or not. The company, taken all
around, is one of the best that has
been in GAINESVILLE for several years

a rare thing that people here have a
chance to see a better company in
any play. Give them good house

Auspicious Opening This Morning Good
Attendance and Much Fine Stock


Attendance and Much Fine Stock.
When the sun rose from his slum-
bers this morning pouring his rays
through the heavy fog he gazed upon
busy scene at the fair grounds.
People began gathering early to wit
ness the opening exercises of the
second annual fair of the GAINESVILLE
Park Association. The air was
made redolent with the perfume Of
bright flowers brought out by young
ladies as pure as the crystal dew
drops that sparkle on the petals of
the rose. The people have taken the
advice of the LEAF CHRONICLE and
have brought in the fruits of their
handiwOrk to enliven interest in the
days program. They were noticed
early this morning standing about in
groups discussing current topics,
watching the fine stock as they were
being shot around the ring by the
jockies, listening to the strains OF
Dixie from the GAINESVILLE cornet
band, wondering who would ger the
premiums and a thousand ct ceteras,
making one think OF the good old
days when county fairs were looked
forward to with as much interest hy
the fathers and mothers as was the
coming of Christmas watched by the
children. Montgomery county is
indeed doing herself proud to day
and the elements seem to smile on
the efforts of her citizens
