who left there three years ago,
returned last week to close out
some business matters, and went
out on the south bound train last
Saturday, is settled in Gaines
vile, Ga.
He and his wife are living at
the best hotel in the place, and
have best rooms in the house.
Their board is only $14 per week
for the two. Gainesville is q
city of 10000 or 100000 inhabit-
ants, and a good part of the
population is colored, these
people being mostly ex-slaves
and their children. Mrs. Jaquish
has an octoroon as a maid, whom
she pays $3 per month. She is a
perfect model of maid, and Mrs.
Jaquish considers herself lucky
to have such a jewel of a servant.
Mr.. Jaquish went to Georgia
about three years ago. His wife
was visiting relatives in Illinois,
and as he was with Sherman on
his march to the sea, he thought
he would like to visit the scenes
where he had Witnessed so much
carnage. When he went to
Andersonville, where he had
been confined ten months, he
was struck with the prosperous
appearance of the people, despite
the low prices of everything, and
concluded to stay month OF
two. The two months lengthen-
ed into a year, and the first he
knew he had located lot OF
placer ground on the Chestatee
river, and bought a lot of quartz
mines.
To exploit his placers he
bought boat and Buycyrus
shovel which was put in the
stream at cost of 500, 900, but
which he got for less than $4,000.
The first month he cleared $1400.
He says that when he came to
pay off his men, at the end of
the month, and realized what
profit he was making, he actual
ly blushed His engineer he
paid 81 per day, and his laborers
rs cents per day That is all
they asked. Later on his profits
increased to such sum that ht
does not dare let them be known
but the wages are just the same
and everything else in the same
proportion. His engineer, wht
saved 5000 on his wages las
year, besides a little made OF
the vegetables raised by his
Cracker wife, in addition TO al
that the family used, thinks tina
he is getting rich. The mar
says that he never made so much
money before
When Mr.. Jaquish took te
quartz mining he had fully sizeC
up the Georgia gold belt, anG
ascertained that but one region
was perfectly free milling. This
he captured at a perfectly ridicu
lous low figure. 1t cost him less
than IS, 900. He hired under
ground men for 80 cents a day
and he has figured the cost tc
him of extracting, milling ant
marketing ton of ore and It'll
product at 40 cents The or,
averages $6 per ton in gold, an,
is merely quarrled. lie has
20-stamp mill at work upon it
but intends to increase it to 10'
stamps and, even thus, Mr.. JAG
uish says, he already owns NOR
ground than he can work in hi
life time.
Mr.. Jaqnish's operations ar
in the Cracker district of Georg
ia. The Crackers, he says, ar
about as shiftless as any class Q
people he ever saw. He doe
not wonder that, before the wan

ptuously referred to them a

A physician, writing in n recent mum. Der of hyRienio publication, states that cows milk Is not 1t food for the human stomach. He says that it forms into curds in the stomach, which arc mdigcstlble and cannot be properly assimilatcd. He says further that it is food only suitable for the animal for which 1t Is intendcd-the calf-which, having several stomnehs, can properly dispose of 1t. This, as far as it goes, appears to be an ovcrturning of tho hygienic teaching heretofore In respect io foods. It has been impressed on the bu. man mind that cows milk Is the idUal food. containing all the constituents noe essary for human sustenancc. Persons have complained from time to time that it did not agree with them; that it produced billousness and that they could not drink it, but tho only reply was some pitying comment on the state of their stomach, with the remark that "it doesn't agree with some persons" The physician who advances tho new theory insists that it docs not agree with anybody.
