‘Three crows for oar man, L. F. Livingston. ’
LIVINGSTON GAINING STRENGTH.
Tho Star was shown a letter by
a prominent citizen of Middle Geor¬
gia, a few days ago, written by a
sbrewd and observing gentleman of
Northeast Georgia, in which tho
writer gave it as his opinion, based
upon a careful survey of tho guber¬
natorial field, that President Living
ston, of Nowton county, was the
strongest candidate for governor yet
spoken of, and that he was gaining
strength every day.
The letter was strictly a private
©ne, or we would have been glad to
lay it before our readers, as a mat',
ter of public interest. It was not
even expected that ihe eyes of the
Star would over bo laid upon it.—
But it shows ! ho drift of public opin¬
ion, as the writer is ono of tho cdos.
est observers of men and things
probably in all Northeast Georgia,
and bis opinion is, well worth cons
6idering.
We will state further that the wri¬
ter of the letter has never before
been a Livingston man, but has now
‘ fallen into tho procession,” and is
going to support him for governor
this time, because he believes him to
be the strongest and best man yet
in the race.
~ rr believe Mr. Livingston
'' iu*r“fRJtrpie is gain¬
ing stre^vi. mm evefj
day, and is fast drifting toward the
gubernatorial nomination. Tho far¬
mers—tho great mass of the people
—are friendly to him, and will give
him their support when the ‘ day of
tho primary” comes.
The letter above referred too is a
strong proof that Mr. Livingston is
going to be a power in tho coming
gubernatorial race.
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Augusta Evening News.
Judge Henderson is in tho race
tor the office of commissioner of ag¬
riculture, and as be already’ has the
reins and knows tho ropes his
chances aro regarded as best for the
prize. This is as it should be, for
he has done his work faithfully and
has made himself very populat with
all classes of our people. Ho is well
known by tbo burners and has
proven himself their friend, and ho
knows their wants as well as any
man in the slate. Tho oflico is elec¬
tive for the first time this year, and
several candidates are already’ ap¬
plying for the new honor, but Judge
Henderson, tho present commission
er, is easily in the lead and ho will
almost have a walk over in tho race.

In tlie Spring Months

lighter diet of the warm season.—
Nothing does this as well as S. S. S.
It stimulates the sluggish blood and

feeling of languor. If there is poi¬
son in tho blood, it generally shows
itself in the spring and this is tho
season to help nature to drive it out
and be cured.

Drawer 3, Atlanta Ga.
He Liked to Fish
New York Herald.
He was a man. of years, old, griz¬
zled, gray, lie sat upon a string
piece at pier 8, North riycr, dang*
ling his rusty bools over the water
and watching the eddies curl about
his lino as tho tide played with his
hook and bait. The stringpieeo was
cold and damp beneath him. But
ho was the picture of comfort nono
the less. An ancient pipe, stained
black with nicotine warmed his nose
and radiated comfort thonco over
his entire system. Tho month might
be January to tho rest of mankind,
hut it was J uno to him.
Liny luck 7” I asked, drawn to the
lone angler by the cords of human
s\ mpalhy.
“Naw,” he said. The answer was
not gruff nor churlish, but simply a
statement of fact in ono syllable.
No biles ?
Nary.
Expect any 7
Naw.
Fish ever bite at this time of year?
Never.
Did anybody ever catch fish off
ibis pier at any time ol year ?
I don’t expect they ever did.
Well, in the name of goodness will
you kindly tell me why you are
wasting your time fishing here on a
cold, damp day like this ?
Cause I likes to fish.
Beat that philosophy, if you can.
If you want a lot.
If you want board,
if you want a store.
If you want rooms.
It you want a house.
If you want a tenant.
Illyou want a boarder.
It you want to lend money.
If you want to borrow money.
If you want to sell anything.
If you want to buy anything.
Advertise the fact in the Stab.
Those who have tried it will tell
you that it pays.
