The first case called was that of
the State vs J ASpradley, charged
with accessory to the murder of,
Dr. Joiner a few year ago. The
defendant was represented by
Thompson & Whipple, D A R
Drum, J M Dupree and J T Jeter
The case consumed all of yester
day und the speakiug and the
charge of the Judge was not con
eluded until after supper last night
The jury returned a verdict ot not
guilty this morning after remaining
in their room all night,
We n re still in the ring.'
Our hustling little city still moves,
And very likely we will furnish
More candidates than one.
“Politicians should,” they say,
“Remember names and faces,
That he may win each voters vote,
And each wife's good graces.”
Mr. Allen Morris .attended preaching
at Pinehurst Sunday and dined with &

Thirteen girls sat down to dine,

telegram was sent, then it could

The political pot in Dooly county
continues to bubble and boil and
new candidates are continually be
ing lidded to the turbulent stream.
The more the merrier, jus the old
saying goes, and the fewer votes it
will take to elect.

NOMINATION.
/I see where Mr. Guerry wants to
have the nomination sometime in
August. I guess it will tuke him
that long to sling out ull of his
mud. He is an old fashioned mud
slinger x und campaigner, Mr.
Guerry und his prohibition crowd
have done everything in their
power to get Hon. Toe Terrell to
say something and fight back at
them. Sooner or later Mr. GueiVy
will have plenty of time to ciaw-
fish and ke won’t belong to Cer-
vera’s fleet at Santiago either. We
don’t claim Mr. Terrell a model
Sampson. It seems like Mr. Bei-
ner and Mr. Potts have got the
the Bud penned up,
Mr, Terrell is one of the clean
est candidates that ever come be
fore the people of Georgia.
Mr. Guerry is a great old barker
and in his own yard raises a great
of fuss. The gate wilf fly open
day and then he will tuck
ail between his legs and he
think he is the other fellow.

Now Mr. Editor, don’t abuse
your mind by thinking thut it it
“us,” your humble scribe, ah, mil
For we have viewed with a critics
eye, all the jobs frOm coroner to
president, and can’t decide which
we want, and our friends the “dear
people” have been kind enough npt
to mention us for anything, and we
have felt a delicacy in approaching
them 00. such a grave point, for we
are well satisfied that so many want
work that it will not be hard to
find u servant. But should our law
makers decide to open up some
“soft snap” that most anybody cun
fill, then, and noj until then will
we consent to allow the “dear
people” to,offer our name .

1902. She suffered Intensely front it
severe attack of pneumonia for three days
which resulted in dentil, while Dr; W. A.
Moore did all in hit. power lo save her.
Maud was a bright and beautiful child,
loved by nil that knew her, and her little
sisters loved her dearly. It is so hard to
part from our darling baity, never to see
her on this earth again, never to bear her
sweet voice again, and never to bear her
sing her sweet songs on this earth again,
but now she is singing those sweet songs
in Hearen, where she is a bright sbiniag
angel, and we ail hope some sweet day to
meet our darling baby in that sweet bye
and bye, the land that is fairer than day.
“A precious one from ua is gone,' '
And a voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
That never tr ore can be filled!.”
