and on tiiis Christmas day his heart
is made lender by the precious mem
ories which come welling up'. And
they make him a belter, purer man.

girlish days, aud of a mother’s, love,
is rekindled by these Christmas times.
Bye and bye her children will return
to celebrate the day with her. And
so it goes. Tho day will never grow
old. It is tho brightest.gem in the
galaxy of .days. . Mr*.W.fL.Dainloli,of Marianna, Via

Colquitt’s Shoos.
Politicians thnt know, say that
Governor Northern will be a candi
date for Senator Colquitt’s seat when
his term expires. Gov. Northcn has
followed the precedent established so
far by Mr. Colquitt. First president
of the State Agricultural Society,
then governor. Whether he will
finish the program remains to be seen.
—Americas Times.
Senator Colquitt is in office'for four
years, but as Gov. Northen’s second
term will expire about that time
there is no telling what may happen.
—Augusta Chronicle.
A great many things may happen
within four years. New men nmy
come to the front. There’s no telling.
It is rather early to speculate on Sen
ator Colquitt’s successor. Alfred
may conclude to succeed himself.

good Senator; aud so would several
other prominent Georgians.
