COVINGTON, GA., MARCH 25, 1899 Si •M, lill I I :5£c ‘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.

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.
