AT regular meeting e FORBES

ton of w. NJ. Daniel resolution
was offered and approved appointing
monumental committee, composed
of seven members Of the BivOuaC and
about the same number of citizens
not belonging to the organization
with full powers to select the design,
locate the monument and take such
steps as were necessary to raise the
money. A meeting Of the committee

that the first thing to be done was to
fix the location so that all parties
who subscribed would know where
it would be located. *
Mr., Kennedy began at his right
and called ON each member to ex-
press his views as to the best
place for its location, and each one
did SO, and Greenwood was selected
by Il .UHauiWuuS vote. | was the
only one of the committee who favor
ed its location in the city and made
a fight in the committee for the court
house yard, but not being able to
make the committee see it as | did,
l yielded my opinions and voted
with the balance. The only public
meeting we have had since that
time was when MIR. Washington
made his speech and he alluded to
the location and the beautiful econ
federate Circle in Greenwood sew
pral times. These are facts, and |
think now we had better let things
remain as they are, and not get up
any discussions that might retard
what little progress we are making.

would give you an article setting
forth the facts in regard to this mat
ter, but ] suppose his attention has
not been called TO the article.

Police Pointers.
fNsd.

TO night closes the police year SO
far as monthly work is concerned,
and during the past year the regular
force has made POO arrests, divided as
follows: Robinson, 81 Holleman,
As; Ginley, IS; Stafford, 81, and
Collier %.
Robinson and Holleman are day
policemen and have more chances to
make arrests than the men on the
night force. They have made good
records, only lacking one Of having
half the total number to their credit,
and they will get him before night.
Chief Stafford is not expected to
make as many arrests as policeman.
The law is that he shall keep close
around the station house to attend to
the business that is constantly COM
ing up. Thepresent force has a pref
ty clean record, which will 90 far in

TIE AWAKENING.
The Floodtide of Capital and Immigra-
ton Pouring Into the South
Clarksville's Opportunity.

Special reports to the Manufacture
ers' Record show that industrial ac-
tivity throughout the South increases
with the approach of spring. The
past week has been a very busy one,
and many enterprises of great magni-
tude have been cOnsumma'ed that
will add largely to the progress and
prosperity of the whole South.
The aggregate of these new enter
prises amounts to $l7, 10000, and be-
sides this, investments amounting to
100000 are in contemplation, but
not yet consummated. This is indeed
a wonderful development, and should
be very encouraging to our people.
The people of GAINESVILLE should
take great courage from these signs
OF the times and put themselves in
line to secure full share of the great
tlOodtide of capital and immigra-
ton that is flowing to the South.
The stream has not yet swollen to its
full tide. During the summer and
fall we shall hear of greater things
than these, and no place offers great
err inducements than GAINESVILLE,
with her rich mineral deposits of
easy access, her vast timber forests,
magnificent farming lands and UNI
surpassed commercial advantages.
Here we have the raw material, the
cheapest in the.country for the manu-
facture of all useful articles. We
have the richest iron ore, the most
durable limestone and marble, the
best quality of timber for wagons,
ploWs, furniture, etc, the best quail
ity of tobacco for navy plug, snuff
and cigarettes, and easy reach of the
cotton tields-every way surrounded
by the best things Gods country af-
fords, unlimited transportation, and
the best, most healthful climate in
the world, and all we need to do is to
make known these things to the
world. Let us be up and doing.
The Force bill is dead and now the
South is assured that we will have
nothing to disturb our tranquility
and prosperity. We would urge our
people to arouse TO renewed activity.

gineer Of the fire department and mem
