Dr. Tanner is good on die fast.
Garfield is 49 and Hancock is 56.
We will publish next week Gen.
Garfield’s letter of acceptance.
Gen. Hancock’s letter of accept
ance will be out in about one week
The Georgia gubernatorial con
vention will consist of 350 dele
gates, and will meet in Atlanta on
the 4th of August—next Wednes
day.
“D.,” in Marietta Journal, sug
gests the name of Col. Jas. D. Wad
dell as a suitable gen deman to re
ceive the nomination for Congress
in the 7th district.
As Col. Waddell was really the
first Georgia Hancock man, “I’oik-,”
in the Constitution suggests that
he be elected as one of the e ectors.
•‘II. A. M.” will accept our thanks
for bis very kind allusion to us last
week. Cherokee should indicate
in some way whom she wants for
Senator.—Cumming Clarion. She
indicates C01.8.F. Payne and will
stand by him in the election and
trust that Forsyth and Milton will
do the same.
Col. A. W. Roberts,of Cherokee,
was in town last Friday. Webb is
fat and smiling. We would tell
who he is for Senator but presume
that Cherokee’s Senatorial aspi
rants will send in their cards with
a V each.—Cumming Clarion.
Cherokee aspires for only one and
that is Col. B. F. Payne.
The early elections of this year
are the following: Alabama,first
Monday of August; Arkansas, first
Monday of September ; Vermont,
first Tuesday of September; Maine,
second Monday of September; Col
orado, first Tuesday of October;
Indiama, Ohio and West Virginia,
second Tuesday of October.
We place to-day at the head of
our columns the name of Col. Ben.
F. Payne as the most suitable man
for our next representative in the
Senate from the 39th Senatorial
District. He is certainly “The
People’s choice,” and is acceptable
alike to the “Independants” and
“Organized,” standingjas hedoeson
the broad platform of equa! rights
for all.
Gen. Neal Dow accepts the nom
ination for the Presidency at the
hands of the Prohibition party. In
his letter of acceptance he says
that he considers the suppression
of the liquor traffic of far greater
political importance than anything
that is now claiming the attention
of the country.
THE SENATOR HIP.
Chl. lien F. Payne Our Choice
It is with profound;pleasure we
call the attention of onr readers to
the announcement to be found else
where of the name of I 01. Ben. F.
Payne, for the State Senatorship
from this, the 39th District.
Col. Payne is well and favorably
known to the people of his home
county, ( herokee ; and by the cit
izens of the adjacent counties, com
posing this district, Milton and
Forsyth, he is looked upon as a
high toned, honorable, highly edu
cated and upright gentleman. No
name, we belive could have been
put before the people that would
give more general satisfaction, or
have caused more favorable com
ment, than will Col. Payne’s. He
is a man as we all know of great
energy, exceeding ability,and will
ably and faithfully represent the
entire district in the Georgia Sen
ate. He has never been actively
engaged in politics as an office hol
der, but is none the less fully post
ed in the political matters of the
day and time. He is sound in
judgement and appreciates the
needs and necessities of our sec
tion, and will faithfully and ener
getidy labor for the accomplish
ment of much good to our district
and people. He is fully aware of
the wants and necessities of the
farmers, and will untiringly serve
them that every tvish may be as
fully granted as in his power it
lies. It is the wish of Col. Payne’s
friends that he make the race, and
we have no fears whatevei but that
the entire district will be proud of
and well pleased with bis course,*
if he be elected.
No Nomination Desired.
Mr. Editor: We are confident
that a nomination for Senator for
the 39th district is not desired by
the Democrats of this county. The
Senatorship is universally recog
nized, we believe, to belong to
Cherokee this time, and the better
policy in the opinion of all, so far
as we have heard, is to have the
field open to any one who may
wish to enter the race. Col. Ben.
F. Payne we believe is out, though
not yet publicly announced through
the columns of your paper, but we
presume soon will be, and he is an
acc< ptable candidate to the people
of this county, and to all who know
him therefore we have no
hesitancy in saying he is not only
the choice of Cherokee but of the
entire district. Citizens.
[lf “Citizen” will look elsewhere
he will see the announcement. Ed.]
Bro. Clements, of the Cumming
Clarion, says ; Should we run for
the Legislature and be elected we
will vote for Joe Brown for Sena
tor, Judge Lester for Judge of the
Supreme Court and “Snacks” Pat
terson for Solicitor General of the
Blue Ridge Circuit, and we will
do this whether they are for us or
not. We desire to aid in raising
politics out of the groveling low
grounds of personal pique and per
sonal animosities.
Public Speaking.
We are requested to give notice
that Hon. Wm. H. Felton will
speak at the court house on the
second Wednesday in August next
—the 11th, prox. Let all who may
wish to learn of his “record” and
know that he is again a candidate
for congress from the 7th district,
come and listen to our representa
tive. All are invited. The ap
pointment was made for the 10th
of August, but owing to that be
ing the day on which the county
congressional convention meets, it
was postponed.
Cash, who murdered Colonel
Shannon in a so-called duel in South
C arolina the other day, has been al
lowed to give bail in the small sum
of three thousand dollars.
Why are you a Democrat or Re
publican ? Do you base your choice
of eitheir party upon anything
worth the difference ? Examine

From an old Georgian.
Albany, Texas, 1
July 17th, 1880. |
Mn Editor: According to promise I
send y'ou sketch < f travels in Texas. I
will avt attempt to tell you how I felt at
all times, for some times I felt very much
home sick, but now I am well.' 4
I mounted the steam cart at‘Dalton,
Ga , and in forty-eight hours I found my
telf at Sherman. Texa& I spent two or
three days there and. visited the legal
brotherhood, ameng whom where three
Georgians,all doing well considering the
great contrast between the amount of
business and the number of lawyers. As
usual, I learned tint the good place was
•■'bout twe hundred miles west." I stood
round and triid to look wise till I struck
up with another fellow who had come in
from South C arolina with his money
sack, seeking a good place to fill it. Wc
bought us a pny a piece, traded our
valises fur saddle pockets and made f< r
the west. Water was very scarce and
“pard” got dry and showed his home
sickness a little worse than I did. We
made our way together till we came to a
place where we paid a quarter fora drink
for our horses. We both came to the
conclusion that Texas was no place for
soft fi-ted fellows. We swapped horses
and ‘ paid’’ turned his eyes homeward,
stating that he was going home, marry,
settle down and go to work for an boils
est living. Ihe last I heard of him he
was at Little Rock, Ark., drumming for
a hotel, completely strap: ed. This is
the way that 'bout four fifths of the young
emigrants, who come here with the ex
pectation of getting loads of wealth with
out any effort whatever, turn out. The
fault is not in the country, it is in the
man. A/y knowledge of Texas teaches
me that it is a better country than Geor
gia, or any other old State. Western
l exas is to-day what North Georgia was
forty years ago.
I would not advise any man who has a
home or business to come to any part es
Texas I have seen; but I would advise
every young man. who is willing to work
eithei mentally or phisically, to leave a
country where he has to wait for some
old Jiead to die in order that he tnay get
a seat. Don'tcume with the expectation
01 finding your corn already shelled, for
you will have it to shell. Don,t come
expecting to find the country inhabited
by foots, hut come expecting to be and
act the gentleman and you’ll find bands
of warm friends. When mv “partner" re
turned home I crossed the Red river. .
Respectfully, D R. Britt,

FOR S I ATE SENATE.
I hereby announce myself as a candi.
date for State Senator from the 39th
district. I believe in representing the
will of the people, and, if elected, shall
endeavoi to do so fearlessly and con
scientiously. Respectfully,
B. F. PAYNE.
We are authorized to announce DAVID
J. MASSEY, of Hickory Flat, as a can
didate for the office of Tax Collector ot
Cherokee county at the ensuing election.
Cherokee abounds with substantial ev
idencethat MR.JL HARRIS would
make an energetic and fearless Sheriff.
His name is therefore hereby presented
for that office at the ensuing election in
January next, by Many Fi iends.

To the Citizens of Cherokee

Induced by the many flattering solici
tations of good men from all parts of the
county —whose voice I do not feel at lib
erty to disregard-1 announce myself a
candidate to represent you in the next
General Assembly.
I am aware of the great responsibility
assumed, of what a nice thing it is to
represent a free and great State. Yet, if
elected, I shall fearlessly and persistent

They make the Government and from
their hard earnings support it. Legisla
tion should always be in their interest.
Labor should be lightly burdened, this
would popularize the Government. Peo
ple never love a Government whose fi
nancial blunders force it to tax them
more than they c m pay. Governments
not administered in the interest of the
people are always demoralizing. Thank
ing those gentlemen, who have seen prop
er to suggest my name, es a candidate
