To the Democratic Voters of Hous
ton County.
The sub-committee to whom was
delegated the authority to assess the
various candidates an amount to de
fray the expenses of holding the pri
mary election on June 5th, 1902
have made-their assessments, as fol
lows:
U. S. Senator, $5.00
Governor, 2.00
State House Officers, 2.00
Prison Commissioner, 2.00
Justice Supreme Court, 2.00
Congressman, 10.00
Judge Superior Court, 6.00
Solicitor General, 7.60
State Senator, 6.00
Members Legislature, 3.00
Sheriff, 6.00
Clerk Superior Court, 3,00
Tax Collector, 3.00
Tax Receiver, 2.50
Treasurer, 2.50
County Commissioner, 1.00
Coroner, 1.00
County Surveyor, 1.00
The above amounts must be paid
to J. P. Duncan, Secretary of Exec
utive Committee, on or before the
26th day of May, 1902, as no candi
date’s name will appear on the ticket
unless his assessment is paid on or
before said date.
All democratic white voters who
have registered in 1901, or who shall
register within 10 days before the
primary in 1902, shall be entitled to
vote at said election.
All voters are required by law to
vote at their own voting precinct,
except that they may vote at the
voting precinct at the court house
from any district in the county.
This is made. necessary because the
registrars will furnish to the pre-
oincts away from the court house
only the registered voters in that
district, but will furnish to the man
agers at the court house a list of all
the registered voters in the county.
The returns must be brought to
the court house by 12 o’clock m. on
the 6 th day of June, by one of the
managers, and not by a clerk or any
one els6 or sent by mail, as it is the
duty of the managers from the vari
ous precincts to consolidate the vote.
The voting precincts will be the
same as in the primary of 1900.
E\ ery democratic voter is urged
to register, as you cannot vote un
less you have registered as hereto
fore stated A. 0. Riley,
Chmn. Dem. Ex. Com. H. 0.

A Card of Thanks.
Henderson, Ga., May 6th, 1902,
Under the providence of an All
wise God, and after an illness of six
months, our oldest daughter, Ann
Eliza, fell asleep in Jesus on the
evening of May 1st, 1902. During
this long affliction our friends and
neighbors were unceasing in their
offers of assistance and expressions
of sympathy, and when the sad end
came, they all came with tender
hands and sympathizing hearts to do
ike last servise in putting our little
angel to rest.
While our hearts have always
gone out in sympathy for our friends
and neighbors in their afflictions, we
feel now that we love them more
than ever, and by God’s help shall
be always ready to show our appre
ciation of their unmeasured kindness
to us. We have been making the
journey of life together more than
31 years and this is the first time
the mantle of death has fallen upon
our home. None but God knows
how hard it is to bow in consistent
submission to such a dispensation
and yet, we trust, we are ready to
say from our hearts, “Thy will, oh
Lord, be done.”

A press special from Americus on
May 5th says: “A most destructive
hail storm has swept a small section
near Americus,obliterating the crops
and orchards on the Clay, Bagley
McGarrah plantations. The dam
age wrought was severe. Mr. Bag-
ley lost nearly a thousand acres of
fine cotton, not a stalk remaining,
while his magnificent peach orchard
was ruined for the season. Cotton
and corn fields generally sustained
irreparable damage.”
Recently unsigned reports were
sent east from Nebraska and Kansas
that the small grain crop was a fail
ure, Careful inquiry, however, brings
the official information that the grain
outlook in those states is up to the
standard and that the reported lack
of moisture is untrue. It is believed
the report of crop failure was for the
purpose of raising the price of wheat,
Mossy Hill Notes.
BY fcOOKS.
It is getting very dry and the
ground is too hard for nice work.
Grain has begun to suffer, and the
larger portion of the cotton crop
will not come up until it rains, but
the prospect is good for a shower
to-night. We have much for which
we should be thankful, however, for
the winter undershirts have made
connection with the gauze ones, and
while the strawberry crop is a fail
ure, the outlook for blackberries and
plums is all right.
Old Uncle Winter Coleman,a very
aged and good negro, died on the
Hill last week. No one seemed to
know the age of Uncle Winter. My
first recollection of him dates back
fully sixty years, when he was a ser
vant of Dr. J. T. Coleman, and then
on account of his extreme age he
was addressed as “Old Uncle Win
ter.” For several years he had been
the stock minder and feeder for Mr,
E. B. Till, and was always faithful
in the discharge of his duty. Mr.
Till showed full appreciation of the
faithful service of the old negro by
having him well nursed and giving
him the best medical attention in
his last illness.
Our Sunday Schools will picnic at
Taylor’s Ford next Friday.
Mr. J. J. Langston, one of the
crack farmers on the Hill, had his
corn crib broken open last night.
Mr. Langston succeeded in getting
a shot at the theif, but doesn’t think
he hit him.
Candidate T. Y. Fagan was on the
Hill last week, and made many
friends who will be glad to see him
succeed.
MisB Minnie Davis, after a de
lightful visit to friends near Elko,
has returned home. Her cousin,
Miss Mary Frances ManD, came
with her to spend a few days.
Mrs. C. B. Till visited Elko this
week.
Several candidates passed over the
Hill Saturday and took in the picnic
at Taylor’s Ford.
Bonaire Items.
By Punch and Judy.
Bonaire was visited by a hard
rain, accompanied by a great deal of
hail, Sunday afternoon. While the
crops were hurt some by the hail,
the good that the rain did far over
balanced it.
Mdras. Creed and Clayton Sasser
and Miss Gertrude Sasser are visit
ing relatives in Macon. They were
accompanied by Mr. Creed Sasser,
who returned Friday.
Miss Ellen King left Saturday to
visit relatives in Americus.
Miss Susie Walker returned home
Saturday from a pleasant stay in
Gro vania.
Several of our young people visit
ed Kathleen Sunday afternoon, and
returning were treated to a ducking,
having been caught in the rain.
They looked as mad as wet hens.
Quite a number of Bonaire people
were shopping in Macon Saturday.
A few of the young men around
here were anticipating an enjoyable
night last Friday, but after getting
lost in the swamp and wandering
around until nearly midnight trying
to find the camp, they concluded
that fishing is not what it’s “cracked
up to be.”
The Bonaire Sunday School will
have their annual picnic at Sandy
Run creek, where the old Methodist
church was. Everybody is invited,
especially the candidates.
The Bonaire and Wellston literary
schools will picnic at Beech Haven
on the 23rd of May. The railroad
has offered to give us a very low
rate, and everyone that goes may be
assured that they will have a good
time. All are invited.
Mr. Y. E. Heard, of Heard, ,6a.,
passed through here Monday en-
route to Avondale.
Mr. B. B. Barker visited home
folks Sunday.
The Methodist church here has
been undergoing some repairs lately
and presents a much neater appear
ance on the inside than it did be
fore. We will have preaching here
every second Sunday by Rev. H. U.
Brewton, and every third Sunday by
Rev. Geo. Walker. Sunday school
every Sunday at 10 o’clock.
A Card of Thanks.
To our neighbors and friends
who so freely and kindly sympa
thised and helped us in the" sick
ness and death of our brother and
nucie, T. T. Martin, we extend
our sincere thanks.
