The deceased leaves a wife, one son by his first wife, Mr. Irvin God frey, of Enid, Okla., and one son, Mr. Roscoe Godfrey, and one daugh ter, Miss Rena Godfrey, of Fitzger ald, Ga. Mr. Godfrey married Miss Ella J. Smith, a sister of Mr. W. E. 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.

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. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CH ENY & CO., Toledo, O.
