Gainesville, it would appear from the
observation of those who study the
conditions here, is going ahead by
leaps and bounds, every year showing
up to much better commercial and
financial advantage that the previous
period.
AS will be seen by notice of the
compiler of the City Directory, the
city has increased within the past two
years and half about thirty.three and
a third per cent in population, the
increase having been since June, 1905,
2,081 names.
But the population has not been
the only thing which has shown an
increase, and the most important Of
these is the increase in the United
States postoiIicc receipts, etc
If anyone should hear that the
money order business Of the Gaines
vile postofiice alone for the last fiscal
year aggregated $500, O00-nearly
half-mllion dOllars-they would not
feel disposed to believe it, but If

show that such is fact The bust
