Smith of this city.
Mr. Godfrey’s Biography as
WRITTEN BY HIMSELF.
I, E. J. Godfrey, was the eldest of
nine children, born near Buffalo,
New York, and am seventy-five
years old. I enlisted at Ft. Wayne,
Indiana, and served three years in
the 88th Ind. Inf., Co. “D.” Fol
lowed John Morgan on his raid.
Was discharged at camp Dennison,
Ohio, in 1865. Played in band on
U. S. packet, Maj. Anderson, which
collided with the freight boat, An
nie Byers, about midnight in Febru
ary, 1866, and fifty-seven lives were
lost.
My whole life has been made up
of romance and adventure. In 1861
I drove horses on the Erie canal.
In ’6O I w’orked with my father on
public works in Erie, Pa., after
which I went to Kalamazoo, Mich.
Played three years in Sweet’s silver
cornet band. Then I went west to
Kansas. While hunting in the
Cherokee nation a party of us were
chased by the Indians. Mr. Gip
Elder and I killed seven buffaloes on
one occasion between daylight and
sunrise. Four of us were held by
sixteen Mexicans in Fremont’s Pass,
■Col. Went up on Pike’s Peak 14,660
feet high, and could see the Spanish
Peaks in the southern part of the
state nearly a hundred miles dis
tant, while Denver was plainly visi- ■
ble eighty miles north. I was travel
ing agent for two years while resid
ing in Kansas City, Mo. After liv
ing ten years in Kansas I came east
to Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1882.
Was followed over the mountains
by a man who intended to rob and
kill me but I escaped, and later was
.held up by moonshiners who thought
I was a revenue officer. Fortunately
for me there was in the crowd a
man with whom I had boarded for
some time and with his assistance
and after a long argument I was al
lowed to go. In 1887 I married Ella
J. Smith, in Gainesville, Ga., and I
went to live in the city of DeLand, |
Fla., where we lived for about fif
teen years. Here I built and owned
twelve houses. I built the first
store building in Miami, Fla. We
lost our orange groves in the freeze
1895 and removed to Fitzgerald, Ga.,
the "Old Soldiers’ Colony.” Bought
sixteen lots from the colony re
ceivers and again commenced to ac
cumulate property.
I was made a Free Mason and an
Odd Fellow in 1863, and later a
Royal Arch Mason. My children
consist of two boys and cue girl,
living; lost several. Taught music
to bands and orchestras for over
twenty-five years. Have traveled
well Over the United States, having
been in all the large cities. Bought
a lot in Tampa, Fla., and built a
store house there. Came near being
ship-wrecked on a vessel going from
Ft. Myers up to Tampa in 1882.
Have built seven houses in Fitzger
ald, Ga., all for ourselves. We
made the stone and built a photo
graph gallery on South Lee street,
next to the Lee Grant Hotel. Have
recently purchased two lots and a
five-acre orange grove at Avon
Park, Fla.
To the Voters of Hali County:
In making announcement fbr the
office of Tax Receiver of Hall county,
subject to the action of the primary,
I will say that I am not allied with
any political faction of the county,
but lam in thi race independent of
any faction, or interest save my
own and the well-being of the citi
zens of Hall . ounty.
Therefore in making this race I
am going before the people, who are
responsible for the government, and
let them say who shall be their
Tax Receiver, and when they have
spoken I will bow to their decision,
though it be adverse to me. because
the will of the people should always
be respected in all matters pertain
ing to their local affairs.
The office of Tax Receiver of Hall
county is one of the most important
in the gift of our people. Its records
should contain the vital statistics of
the largest and richest county in this
section of the State, and control to
a large extent the revenues of the
county, therefore, the duties of the
office should be discharged without
fear or favor, and the burden of tax
ation made to fall on all alike. For
that reason and many other reasons
I will permanently establish an
office in the Court House, where I
can be seen at'any time, when not
making my rounds in the precincts,
for the further convenience of the
people, whom I hope to serve, for
the office should be carefully and
judiciously conducted, and always
open for the transaction of any busi
ness that has to do with the
entry and valuation of property, and
in strict compliance with the law.
All support given me in the ap
proaching primary will be duly ap
preciated, and if the people see fit
to elect me, I pledge to them my
best efforts in the discharge of every
duty of the office. Between now
and the date of the primary I hope
to make a canvass of the entire
county and meet the people face to
face, as far as possible, and get
aeqiiaiuted with them.
Respectfully,
J. D. LOKEY.

L
Use Hyomei—You Breathe It.
It’s the right-to-the-point remedy
not only for catarrh, but for head
colds, sniffles, bronchitis, laryngitis
or croup of children. You breathe
it —no stomach dosing.
You will like Hyomei. It not only
gives instant and lasting relief, but
is entirely harmless, pleasant to use,
and economical. Money refunded
by Dr. J. B. George if you are not
benefited.
Hyomei is a combination of anti
septic oils that mixes with the air
and quickly reaches the irritated
and inflamed membrane of the nose.
It’s a sure and safe healing, begins
immediately—you feel better at
once.
If suffering from watery eyes,
husky voice, discharge from the
nose, or that choked-up feeling, try
Hyomei now—to-day. All druggists
sell it. Ask for the complete outfit.

This notice is given so that those
who have been notified and have
not paid to come forward and settle,
and those who have receipts to pre
sent them at once.
A list of defaulters will be fur
nished the managers of elections,
and voters who have not paid their
back taxes will be debarred from
voting under the law’.
By order of the board.
T. S. Campbell, Clerk.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
eases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot becured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
