CANNOT COLLECT NOTE
GIVEN ron GAMBLING DEBT.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1a.-The su-
preme court of the United States yes
terday refused to take cognizance of
the case Of Majors VS.. Williamson,
involving responsibility for a note
given to pay a debt assumed in con-
nection with speculation on the
stock exchange. The debt was con
tracted by Williamson Ia Memphis,
Tenn, and note was given with
Mississippi real estate as security.
The laws of the States Of Tennessee
and Mississippi prohibit gambling,
and Il was contended that under
such laws the note could not be col
lected. The United States circuit
court Of appeals sustained this view
and the effect of yesterdays ruling
Is to uphold the finding OF that court.

With all due respect to those who
are having the property lines changed
for the laying OF sidewalks ON East
Union street we consider it a piece
of foOllshness. What is the
use Of moving the fences north three
feet on property east OF Crawford &
Davis stables when every building
west Of s. J. Burnetts home on the
same street Is constructed Of brick?
Evidently those in authority do not
expect TO improve the appearance of
the street BY thus moving the lines.
Original Gainesville was at one time
uniform as to size OF blocks, width OF
streets, etc, but such IS not the case
now-and the running Of ifew more
lines for the laying OF sidewalks will
soon make it the most "Eig-zag" town
