Governor Candler’* Messngo to the General Assembly !* one of the ablest, strongest and most sensible public docu ments in the history of the B ate. With this issue will be found a hand some Supplement representing the ur -at mercantile establishment of J. B. White ft Cos., of Augusta, and recommend it to the consideration of our readir*. Tho member of the pres mt General Assembly who returns to his constitu ents without having made at least an lionet,t effort to reduce the present bur densome taxation, had butter hide out in the woods. Pensions are intended not for tho rich but for tho destitute and lielpleas; and the ex-Oonfederate who, having a com fortable income, clriw* pension money much of which ho knows it taken from the scant earning* of the poor, degrades bis manhood, and disgraces the cause and tiro flag for whiuli ho fought. After a rousing welcome and a sword presentation to Brumby, and a visit to the State Fair and tho Midway attrac tions, the Legislature has got down to business, and is facing sonic very impor tant matters. Among other measures which call h r prompt ami energetic ac tion nru Taxation, the Elcotivo Fran chise, tho Australiad Ballot, an Auti- Trust measure, Htatc Prohibition, Ap propriations for Schools and Pensions, and n Constitutional Convention, if the members do their duty they will have very little time for auylhiug else.

Mr, Knox haa unbounded industry, energy and koikl judgement, and tho houses will not only go up promptly, but tho ooutraot nil Ibo faith fully and satisfactorily perf or mod. Several year* ago our Town Council pained an Ordinanoo forbidding barber tsbops to bo opened on Sunday, and the law in rigidly enfoioed ; and yet, every Sunday our streets nro thronged with half-grown negro bootblacks, who ply their trado and gather in the nickels without interference. Now, wo would like for our City Fathers to explain why they forbid the violation of tho Sabbath iu one instance aud permit it iu the other. FAIRVIEW ITEMS. 08TLF.lt JOE.

On the 2d day of November, 1821, in tbe county of Lincoln, Sate of Georgia, William McCorkle wu> born, the elde t of seven brothers, all in *nced£ioo, In tlix county, and near hi# birthplace, he ent aim oat hi* entire life, departing thi* life September 2<>, 1899, by renno n of strength, sealing four score years. Coining of old Methodist stock, in young manhood he j fined the church. Hi* gran father be ug a OiftMj-leader after the old typo and his father a local preacher, it woe natural that bo should join and lore the church of bln fathers. As Steward. Class' leader, Sunday Hchool Superintendent and Trnetee, he gave in those stations the best of his life. Ho served his State and country in the Civil War under that matchless soldier and states man, Hubert Toombs; and here he was true to his country and his comrades. In 1847 ho was married to Miss Juliv A. Covington, and two children were born to them—Mrs. K. W. McCord, of Lincoln comity, and W. A. McCorklc, of Augusta. The wife who for more than forty years shined with him his joys and sorrows, a few 3 ears since died in his absence. This was one of tho sorest trials of his life, yet he bore it without a murmur, looking soon to a happy reunion. Soon after her death his health began to fail. He was partially par alysed and flinally was unable to walk. He spent more than two years in a roller chair, his only means of locomotion, and here ho showed some of the pa'ienoe of Job—cheer ful all tho way—no charging of God fool ishly. Nursed by Ins loving daughter aud granddaughter so tenderly, his only trouble seemed to be that to them and his good neighbors he was too much burden. I vielted him often during his affliction, and he always assured me that he was ready, and willing to go or stay. On my last visit before the final end, in bidding him goodbye, though his tongue was silenc ed, ho grasped my hand aud w ith the other pointed Heavenward. And thus he died, surrounded by his children and grandehid ren, two brothers and one sister—all t hut aro left of a family of eleven. Hin life to ns was a blessing, and hi* tri umphant death a boned lotion. We buried him at tho old Ariinathea church near his homo.
