Something About a Man Who win
Speak in This County.

The American Of this morning con-
tains the following notice of man
who will speak in this county during
the campaign:
"Col. George T. Fry, the famous
Chattanooga orator, who speaks in
South Nashville tonight, arrived last
night. Among the first men whom
he met at Democratic headquarters
wal Senator Bate, under whom he
was soldier during the war. Col.
Fry is man of keen political dis
cernment as well as a speaker Of won.
derful eloquence and force. He said
last night that he had recently been
in number of counties which were
strong Third party counties and had
found Democracy aggressive and con
fident. Il believe he said, that Tur
ney will beat all of his opponents pu
together. All that is necessary is fol
Democracy to continue on the alert.
Regarding national politics, Col. Fry
said that for three weeks he had fel
little doubt about Cleveland's cleo
ton"

"Oh, he's n Democrat, and l just

Move That Light.

The electric light which now hangs
in front OF g. M. Barker's residence
on Second street, should be moved
about thirty feet north in order to
light West avenue and the street
running west from Second at this
point. The light never benefited
any portion of the territory west of
Mr.. Barker's house, from the fact
that the shadow of the building
spreads all over that territory.
Now that DR.. Drane has built
a house on the opposite side
of tho street, all of the West avenue
country is in darkness. This all can
be remedied by moving the light to
the intersection of Second street and
West avenue, and it will afford the
same light to Second street as it does
now.

Thos. Cunningham Better.

A letter has been received here by
relatives from T. S. M. and Newell
Cunningham, who left the first of the
week for San Antonio, Texas. The
letter was written from Longview,
and stated that Mr.. Cunningham had
stood the trip well, and was possibly
stronger than when he left. They
were to go from that point to San
Antonio, expecting to reach the lat
ter point the night the letter was
written. Tom Cunnirgham's many
friends in GAINESVILLE sincerely trust
that he may soon regain his health in
Texas, and that he will return his
former self.

A Bankruptcy Bill Needed.

The friends Of the Torrey national
bankruptcy bill are urging that bill upon
the attention of congress, and strong
effort will be made to pass it at this session.
1t has been very generally indorsed by com-
mercal and trade bodies, and of the neces-
sity for such law there is no doubt.
The last bankruptcy law was repealed
because it was open TO so many abuses. 1t
took years to settle bankrupt estates, and
creditors got very little out of them. The
officers who administered the law got about
all there was in them.
The Torrey bill is great improvement
upon the last bankruptcy law. 1t provides
for prompt settlement OF estates, and
gives creditors a chance Of getting the pro-
ceeds of them.
A fair bankrupt law, honestly sdminis-
tered, will place all creditors upon an equal
footing, insure the punishment of dishonest
debtors and give men who have failed in
business an opportunity to begin new
business career. At present the insolveut
laws Of the various states are so different,
and local prejudice in favor of local credi-
tors is so strong, that the Wholesale mer-
chants and manufacturers that do busi-
mesa in a number of states have very little
chance of getting any part Of what is due
them from their debtors who become insol.
vent. Consequently credit cannot be so
easily obtained aud merchandise cannot be
purchased 80 cheaply as if there were a ma
sional bankruptcy law.

The Doctors Proof Reader.

Merry Marshall Wilder tells some amusn g
stories about the drug clerK, but there are seu-
Gus moments in the dreary life OF the pill
maker. OF course he can tell funny stories in
the back shop, and give you all the gossip about
the handsome man, who is paying attention to
Mrs So-and-so. but when he steps behind the
prescription case his attention is entirely de-
voted TO the delicate duty OF preparing what
rthe learned doctors order for their patients
The faithful drug clerk has a thorough knowl-
edge of the hundreds OF chemicals and drugs in
use, and the effect they have on human life.
In this capacity he acts as proof reader for
the physician, and very often the close scrutiny
OF prescription saves serious bunder that
might prove fatal If the written Instructions
were carried out. Cases of this kind are not
infrequent.
The other day a suburban drug clerk Of many
years experience was startled on receiving a
prescription from a well known NJ. D. The dose
ordered was surely fatal, and the clerk refused
to put up the prescription. Later on the doc
tor was called in, and, on viewing his own
handwriting he exclaimed:
My God what have donef"
He promptly tore the paper into 5hreds and
carefully wrote out another prescription.

fathers, older men, and with an early resp0nst-
bity OF thought and action ThsY have had to
plan their own wardrobes and decide upon their
own conduct toward their lovers. Some Of
them have been behind the scenes OF stirring
pol tical events; nearly all have been thrown
into situations where they had to think for
themselves, to act with decision. and IN general
to fulfill the whole duty Of herOines. The hero
ines OF Scott are, some Of them, only lay figures
but at least so far as they have character they
are women. and they justify the deeds which
are done to win them.
