a Big FIGURING Mil Enterprise.

The LEAF-CHRoNICLE noted some
weeks ago that there was a move on
foot to build new Touring mill.
The enterprise is now taking shape.
John T. Rabbeth and VIM. p. Ham
baugh are The leading spirits in it,
both practical and successful mill
men with ripe experience. Mr..
Hamburger has operated the Ringgold
mills some years with marked sue
cess, considering the distance from
shipping facilities, and Mr.. Rabbeth
is conceded to be one of the best mil
lers in the country, and both are men
of sound conservative judgment.
They are now getting up their plans
and selecting the best improved
machinery. They have determined
on a mill of $50 barrels capacity,
which they have the means to build,
but would prefer letting out about
So, 600 more stock and build for $50
barrels capacity per day, which is
much more profitable. However,
they have determined to build the
mill.

A Well Merited Compliment.

JnO. A. Clements is one of the hap
piest men in GAINESVILLE today for he
has won a little contest in which
there is much credit attached to him
is a travelling salesman, besides 500
in hard cash. Oct. LIST, 1890, the JAS
q. Butler Tobacco Company, of St
Louis, offered three premiums to
drummers, selling their brands Of to
bacco, in the United States. The first
premium was free trip to Europe,
the second 500 in cash and third $50
There was ballot nailed up in each
box of tubacco and the retail mer-
chants were requested to vote this
ballot for some drummer. The
prizes of course We're to be given the
three drummers getting the greatest
number of votes. The United States
was divided into twenty districts,
Tennessee and Kentucky constituting
one of the districts. The time for
deciding the contest expired May /,
and Saturday Jno. A. Clements,
travelling for Hurst q Co received a
chec'l from tie firm above mentioned
for 800, he taking second prize, in
the district comprising Tennessee and
Kentucky. The fact that GAINESVILLE
having been the smallest place in the
United States getting prize, knock
ing out, in the two States named, such
places as Louisville, greensboro,
Nashville, Knoxville and Chatta-
nooga, for second place, shows that
somebody has been hustling. The
whole truth of the matter is, Jno.
Clements never let's any grass grow
under his feet, he is hustler, a gen.
tleman and one Of the best drummers
on the road. The LEAF-CHRoNICLE
him on his good luck. F.

A Glorious Rain.

We had a glorious rain this morn
ing, 1t fell gently and continuously
Already at this writing we have a
good season for tobacco-planting,
that is, if the sprinkle is as general
over the country as 10 the city. The
dry weather sign has failed and the
wind now comes from the southwest.
The rain was badly needed and did
not come a moment too soon. The

fortune, but may do well yet. To

SATURDAY NIGHTS FIRE.
Jno. r. Shelton g. Sons Livery Stable
Burned and the Northington House
Damaged.

alarm could be sounded the fire had
spread so fast that the crowd that
quickly gathered saw that unless a
well directed effort was made some
of the stock would perish. Willing
hands went to work at once cutting
halters and liberating the frightened
horses. So well did the men work
that in less time than it takes to tell
it every horse was out of the stable
galloping over the city in every
direction. The work of saving the
vehicles was then begun and resulted
in all Of them being taken from the
burning stable.
By the time the fire department
arrived on the scene it was evident
that any effort to same the stable
would prove futile, and it was also
evident that the Northington House
was in imminent danger. 1t was
deemed best to put all the force on
this building, and to save it the men,
bors of the fire department worked
faithfully with the engine and hose
reels. They succeeded in saving the
house in a damaged condition, that
part next to the stable being consid-
erably burned. All the furniture was
moved from the building and piled
up in the court house yard, causing
more or less damage from rough
handling.
The damage TO the Northington
House furniture is more than was
anticipated Saturday night. There
was in the house about $3.50 worth
Of furniture, and the damage to all
Of it, at a low estimate, is placed at
$3.50, with no insurance. The dam
age to the building is equally as
much as ttat to the furniture, but it
is fully covered iby9 Insurance, and is
the property of E. r. Bogard, Of
Stewart county.
John F. Shelton & Son estimate
their loss at $1,000, with 81 800 insu-
rance. In addition to the building
there was a loss sustained from the
provender burned, amounting in all
to at least 5000. Then the rooms
over the entrance to the stable con
tanned wearing apparel, the property
of John F. and w. r.. Shelton, all
their winter lap robes, furniture, a
lot of whips, harness, ETC., which
was all a clear loss and will amount
to several hundred dollars.
FIRE NOTES.
VIM. BOyd's wood and carpenter
shop corner Commerce and Third
streets was burned, but the tools
were saved. The building belonged
to the Masons, hut was of very little
worth, being a small frame structure.
ID. A. HarrisOn's carriage factory
got pretty hot, hut was saved by
water being thrown on it all the
time.
Uncle Sam Northington had so
gallon can of coal oil between his
hotel and the stable with little house
built around 1t. The house was
burned, but the coal oil is as good as
ever to-day. The genial proprietor
of the Northington House said to a
reporter this morning: "You can tell
the boys that Uncle Sam is pretty
badlyYscorched, but is still in the
ling at the old stand"
Rudolph Shelton went to work
Saturday night after the fire, got his
horses and buggies all housed in Cor
hams, stable on Commerce and filled
all of his orders yesterday just like
nothing had happened.

The Vance p,barment Case.

Some months ago affidavits were fled
by w. A. Moberly against 7. P. Vance,
charging him with unprofessional con-
duct in his character as attorney at law.
Judge Higgins appointed a committee
consisting of j. B. Worley, T. H. Hogsett
and A. Harman to formulate charges
against Vance with view to his disbar.
ment should the charges be established.
The charges were accordingly drawn ur.
On Tuesday the case came up in court,
and Judge Steel, as Vance's attorney, en-
tered a general demurrer to the charges,
claiming first, that the charges do not
show that Vance is member of the bar
or an attorney at law in Ohio, and that
part of the charges are debarred by the
statute OF limitations, since some of the
offenses were committed over year
preceding the filing of the affidavit. 1t
was also objected that the first charge
should be separated and the different
causes of complaint in it numbered, and
that the fourth charge should be made
more definite and certain. The court
has, not yet indicated whether it will
sustain the demurrer.

The Young Peoples Society Of Christ
ian EndeavOr.

The character and work of the Christ.
ian Endeavor Society are doubtless
known by most of the readers. Permit
US to emphasize some of its principal
features. 1t seeks to organize the young
people in the churches for active relig-
ious work, to develop their Christian
life and serve the interests of the church
to which they belong. Weekly PRAYER
meetings are held in which every mem
Der is expected to participate. These
are conducted in q very interesting
manner. Through committees the
various departments of church work are
looked after. The local society is ex-
pected to be under the control of the
pastor and officers of the church in
which it exists. The movement is not
sectarian but interdominational. Each
society is expected to be loyal to its own
church and is at liberty to be as intense
ly UNCONVENTIONAL as it pleases. 1t has
found a place in every denomination,
and great benefits and blessings have
come to the churches where it has been
fostered.
Gods hand is certainly in the work
because of the success attendingit it, there
being now nearly 100000 members en-
rolled, chiefly in America. Pastors
everywhere speak enthusiastically of its
helpfulness to them in their work.
There are no financial obligations i'm.
posed upon the local societies.
The number OF societies in this county
is small, about fve or six. 1t is the
wish of the State officers to thoroughly
organize every section. We hope to
form county union in the near future,
which will be very helpful to the young
people enlisted in the work.
The undersigned would be very glad
to furnish literature and any information
free to persons in the county who would
further consider this earnest request to
organize. rev. L. B. O. LAIR,
