GAINESVILLE NOTES.

EAntAONlEG Nv TO l.
The interest aroused over the cleo
ton in Kentucky last week by many
of the citizens of this place is but a
gentle reminder to those persons eligi-
BILE to vote that some months ago the
charter of GAINESVILLE was changed
and election for municipal offices post
poned until some time next year. AS
the new year is scarcely two months
away, it becomes necessary for colored
electors and leaders true and tried,
to consider ways and means by which
the election of a colored representa-
tive to the city council will be assured.
For many years AfrO-American citi-
zenship has had such an official, but
the change of the charter changes the
mode of election of aldermen from
the wards tosthe city-at-large, making
the election uncertain.

place has been in vogue since last
July. 1t is needless, however, to call
the attention of those with bibulous
desires that Hopkinsville is still on
the map.

dark, cold and dreary; rains and
winds never w~eary-comes forth in
this community as a rival to June for
prospective brides. Announcements
unauthorized have it that the central
portion of the city, lanked both by
the East End on one side, and Gal
lus Hollow" the other, will produce
surprises in this hymeneal line. One
Of the prospective benedicts is well
known in Nashville, but the others
have not yet had our acquaintance.
Recalling the phrase two as one"
will exactly fit the business adven-
ture of Ed. Broadus, not in the mari
tai sense, but in the contraction of
his two shining parlors into one. Mr..
BrOadus has for some time conducted
two establishments and enjoyed good
business, but the dryness of the city
the weather, and the %closeness of thu
money marts caused many of his pa
irons to shine their own shoes.
Monetary matters in GAINESVILLE n,
