They point to the fact that the water company has been reported by people connected with 1t as never having paid a dividend, and say that the city is facing DO emergency that would justify the people in rushing blindly into mourning and obligation to pay many thousands of dollars.

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 a half about thirty three and
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 postoiIce receipts, etc.
If anyone should hear that the
money order business Of the Gaines
Vile postofiice alone for the last fiscal
year aggregated $500, OOO-nearly a

Few people realize and appreciate
the magnitude of the Gainesville post
office, which Postmaster Lynch and
his assistant J. Z, H. Bell, have
brought up to such standard of eX-
ccllcnCe. The public does not realize
that there are employed by this office
fourteen men, with the probability of
an increase for the coming year, as

yesterday four Of our boys who
were proceeding peaceably along the
public highway toward Chisholm were
held up by some Of those thugs called
deputies. They asked our men where
they were going. The men replied
that they were going to Chisholm and
were on public highway, creating
no disturbance and injuring nobody.
The deputies, instead of permitting
them to pass unmolested, assaulted
them without provocation. Two of
our boys were beaten over the heads
with the butts Of revolvers. When
they came back to my office their
heads were bleeding from their
wounds: I asked Judge Brady for
warrants for the arrest of those depu-
ties, but he failed to issue any. I then
took the matter lid with Mr.. Magic.

discharge the deputies If they had ex-
