'JOHN TRIPLETT, Ban. Bn Notice to Advertiser!. To Iwurc insertion, all change* for standing advertisements must be hand ed in by noon of the day before. Words Kindly and Fitly Spoken Rev. J. W. Lee, one of the ablest and purest divines in the state, has written a letter on the Senatorial ques lion. His sentiments are echoed by thousands. We only have room for the following extracts: "The most distinguished living sol dier of the Southern side of the war is a citizen of Georgia. Of the brave men who remain, known and honored for their connection with the most bril liant attempt to establish an independ- end government made in modern times, Governor Gordon is the most prominent. His name not only stands for a true and manly citizen of the South, but for a great historic struggle. It has been caught and transfigured and set forever in honor by a move ment which started in Southern convic tion, and ended not till the civilized world was convioced that we were as true and brave and chivalrous a peo ple as ever dared to die in defence of the right. His name stands for the sword against which no charge can be brought but that it was drawn from th'e scabbard in defence of Southern convictious of dutv and honor. About the name of this brave and generous man Is gathered what is dear in our ^traditions, and whit is sacred in our tears and trials. It stands for the flag tattered and torn, and forever withdraw from among the ensigns of nations, but waved over as warm and noble hearts as ever pulsed high with courage and lcve. It has been said by some that enough has been made of the war We can never get far enough away from the war to have the obligations we are under to the men who served us cancelled. Obligations created by the kind of service that risked life are binding forever. Then is It fair to our Boldiers who died in the war, and to Southern conceptions of this govern ment, for the people of our section to cease talking about the war, at the very time when our fellow citizens in the North are making the most of it 1 The soldier there is the universal ob ject of veneration and respect. They have provided homes and grounds for them'equal to the posibili- ties of money and affection. They pay Out of the national treasury to them every year over $150,000,000, A large portion of this money our own • people, who get ho pensions help to pay. They are tendered banquets and war days and grand encampments at the great centres of population. They are regaled with music and praised with eloquence everywhere. Their soldiers sleep in cemeteries laid off in exquisite taste at the public ex pense. At all political meetings they revindicate their loyalty and fidelity to the government by restating the part their soldiers took in the war. I want to ask the brave Confederate veterans of Georgia who followed Gen. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and John B Gordon during the four years war, if this is just the lime for our people to drop the war subject and to cease to honor the generals who planned and executed our part in the conflict J That the hates cogenderpd by the war r ought to dropped,'I admit. Our fellow citizens at the North do not mean by honoring their soldiers to express their hate of the South, They rrgard it a solemn duly. Have all our obligations to Confederate soidiers ceased because we did not succeed I We have no pensions to give our sol diers, no magnificent homes. Should «c noi, when other things are equal, give them whatever honors it is in orr power to bestow? l ean not believe that a Legislature will ever meet in the Capital of Geor gia to sacrifice Gen. John B. Gordon, unless it is upon a graver charge than has yet come before the public. To cut down such a man lor such flimsy a asons would be a pub lic calamity. It would be A DIRECT THUST at all we have, in the jwtJ), been ac istomed to hold sacre^PcI dear. 11 would be an insult "to the memory of G-BO. "W. ZFO^IBIEIS 175 Broad Street, Masury Hotel Building. Furniture, Carpets, Mattings, RATTAN ROCKERS. BAMBOO EASLES, LARGE Rugs our sleeping dead. It would be a si lent but practical declaration lo the people of the North that we no longer hold in esteem and reverence the men who led our armies to battle. I am a minister and wish tb take no part in partisan politics, but I claim to be a citizen of Georgia. I love her people, her past, her traditions, and am greatly interested in her future. The defeat of Gen. Gordon at this time is to me the saddest prospective event I can conjecture. God grant that the sober second sense of our people may deliver us from witnessing it. ' J. W. Lee. Atlanta, Oct. 14, 1890. Is there an ex-Confederate sol dier in Thomas county who followed the fortunes of the “Lost Cause,” who followed Gordon through storms of shot and shell; who saw him lead Lis columns into the very jaws of death; who saw him kneel by dying soldiers with a 1 the tenderness of a woman; who saw hi i towering form with gleam ing sword, dash along the lines, cheer ing on the ragged, heroic men who fought for Dixie; who saw him, whgn the dark clouds of defeat gathered arounl Appomattox; saw him as Lee’s trusted right arm, with head erect, eye undimmed, nerves unshaken, cheering on the footsore, hall starved heroes who had fought through the war; saw him lead the last charge in the grand drama of the bloodiest war of modern times; is there a man through whose veins yet runs pure Southern blood, who will endorse the movement being made to crush Gen. Gordon? If there is we pity him from our heart of hearts. The State Fair. We again call the attention of our readers to the state fair which opens in Maeon on the 22nd inst.

Her latest is a cir cus which is to winter there. This reminds us of a promise made by the winter, and Diek Grubb to spend several weeks with Henry Cohen. We shall probably do so this winter. Of course the presence of a circus has nothing to do with the time of the visit. ANTIQUE* Bed Room Suits, WITH TOILET GLASS Qil.Cloth, WALL PAPER Window Shades —and— screens. 1 Lace Curtains.
