A CARD.
Capt. John Triplett ;
You were kind enough some time
since, to sav that I was willing to
serve the |icoplc again as a member
of the lower House of the Legislature,
This is a mistake.
It has lieeu my ambition for years,
to secure competitive rates for Thom-
asville and Thomas county. I
thought that I could better serve this
object by being in the legislature.
With the present status of the roads
leading in this direction, I can be of
more service to my people here at
home, than elsewhere.
Withlthe consiousness that during I With the mostjcomplete line
my term in the legislature, nothing 1
was left undone or untried, ou my
part, to protect the interests of the
people of Thomas county, and with
thanks to those friends who have as
sured me of their support again, I
respectfully decline to enter the race, I
and subscribe, myself,

There is some trouble with the

in handling so many trains, he is in
