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 ous. 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. ' W. 11. Felton* 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! —Journal. . j Spn. Norwood is the nominee of tlieininority convention. Gov. Col quitt the rucommendee of the State convention, i •. ... Ali.1 * 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 or 1 Garfield's ? llow does the one 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 •ml financial interests of the State will be sate.—Rome Courier.
