We were in Atlanta last week for
only a few hours hut whiln there
we noticed that several fine and
substantial business arid dwelling
houses were going up, more than
any time previous in the history
of the city. We are glad to see
the M even of the South so prosper

For Senator from the 39th Sena
torial District.
COL 9. F. FAYSfB.
Of Cherokee County,
' Yes, thank you, Pro. Neal.
Norwood vs. Colquitt. Which
will you t»ke !
Ignorance is a subject for pity,
and not lot* laughter und sport.
‘ Gen. Garfield is a good an I true
man, a patriot and a gentleman. '

Sfcn. Norwood has accepted the
nomination for Governor tenderer
him by the minority convention.
Every district in this county
heard from report* to be largciv in
favor of Col. Payne for the Senate.
——»•»■■■
Hardly two months until wo
elect Governor, State House offi
cers and members of the General
Asaembly.
*»i
Although personally opposed to
Colquitt’s nomination we will now
most chorrlully support him, he-
living, as we do, that he is the
choice of the voters of Georgia,
and that it will he proven oil
the day of elect ion. Sen. Norwood
cannot possibly carry more than a
small minority ol the votes.
•
Only a slight change will he
made in the affairs of the State
House after the coming cPclion.
Governor Colquitt. Secretary Bar-
net and f Vmptroller Wright will
still ho there. The only changes
will he in ACornuy-General and
Treasurer. But in our opinion
Atto" ey-Gei oral Ely lias admira
bly filled the position in the past.
Wo regret that the death of our
much honored townsman, Judge
Jus. O. Dow.In, causes us to have
to discontinue his card asking the
support of his county men for the
office-of member of the House of
Uopresentativos. Had he lived
wo have no doubt hut that he
would have been elected, although
there are several others running.
The democratic pgity will have
no representative 4 in the field--a
free fight, disruption and discord!

A gentlemen who has just been
with the people of Forsyth and
Milton reports that these counties
are “ablaze for Payne'*for Senator.
lion. II. P. Bell has again been
nominated ns the standard-bearer
of the dembcra’c)’ of the 9th <*lis-
trifct. He is it tried and true deni
odrat worthy of the peoples votes.
Which of the letters of accept
ance did you like best, Hancock’s

of Garfield’s, “as it shoal 1 have
been,” published in this issue, strike
you ?
The convention to nominate a
candidate to make the race against
Congressman Felton assembled in
Rome yesterday. In our next is-
sue we hope to he able to say who
will beat Parson Felton.
Gov. Colquitt came within only
a few votes of being nominated by
the two-thirds rule adopted. He
certainly had a large majority vote.
Therefore we feel but that lie was
the choice of the convention.
Several new announcements in
this issue. Read them all and keep
posted. When you are done read
ing the Advance lend it to your
neighbor, who wont subscribe, that
lie may know “what is going on.”
We are perfectly satisfied that
Col. B. F. Payne is the “People’s
Choice” lor Senator from the 39th
District, and are more than confi
dent that it will be shown by a
large majority at the polls on the
6th of next October.
The Bender family of murderers,
who, it will be remembered, kept
a tavern in Kansas and killed their
guest for money and valuables,
were arrested a few days ago in
Colorado, while on the way to their
old home to secure some of the
hidden loity.
Judge G. X. Lester, Col. Jus. R.
Brown and Prof. ,T. D. A tuway
addressed the citizens of the county
at the Court House on lust Wed
nesday evening, the l Ith inst., upon
the subject of Education and the
importance of building in Can(oii
an Academy. These speeches
were vevy interesting and exactly
to the point, showing wherein it
was but an easy mutter to build a
$3,030 Academy and the people
never to miss the amount given,
hut instead would feel an income
arising from the aid given. Let
us go to work with the determina
tion to build one arid wo may l c
assured that it will he built and r.o
one to miss the uid given. Let the
eitiz* ns of the county generally
look at this subject, it is to their
interest, to every ones interest.
THE WORK OF THE CONVEX-
IT ON.
The Democratic £tite conven
tion adjourned last Wednesday
evening, after a session covering
eight days, without making a nom
ination for Governor. The gentle
men of the convention who so te
naciously hung through thess eight
days to their first opinions, we do
earnestly hope will not have cause
to repent of their course. We be-
liove that both sides were actuated
by a desire to present ah accepta
ble and successful ticket to the
people, one that would keep down
all serious opposition; but the con
duct of the opponents of Colquitt
towards and alter the close of the
convention, was such as to alienate
from them whatever of sympathy
they muy have had in this portion
of the State among those who do
not wish to see the pat tv split into
factions, and as a consequence
Colquitt has gained because of their
manifest wish to find somebody,
anybody, who would oppose Col
quitt before the people.
So far as the convention made
nominations it did well. The re-
nomination of that faithful officer
and high-toned gentlemen, Hon. N.
C. Barnett, for Secretary of State
was a fitting tribute to one of
Georgia’s purest citizens; and as
much may he said in relation to
the renomination of Capt. W. A.
Wright for Comptroller General.
Hon. Clifford Anderson, of Ma
con, was nominated for Attorney-
G.ner.d, and while we would4iavc
been glad to see Hon. J. W. H.
Underwood, of Rome, put in that
place which he is so eminently qual
ified to fill, we can lend » T cheriul , .
•n pnort to J edge A ndereon. *
Maj. D. N.Speer, the nounnoeTor ^
Treaenror, is in etcry way qnal fied •
and fitted to lill the respondble p >-
sitioti for which he Waa nanieft
by the convention, and every voter
in the State can go forward in Oc
tober and endorse the action of the
convention by voting for bin, feel
ing that in bis hands the finances
