Editor Seakgh-Light: The ill health
that causes Mr duBigtion to decline
making the race for govenor is a misfor
tune not only to himself but, also, to the
people of Georgia. He has been a con
spicuous figure in state politics for many
yeara and has gradually grown in public
favor, aud, unquestionably, would have
been our next governor.
Who will sucueed him as south Geor
gia’s candidate ?
Several distinguished gentlemen have
beeu mentioned in this connection, but
none meet the occasion like the Hon.
W. G. Brautiy, the brilliant youug con
gressman from the Eleventh district.
It is generally conceded all over the
state that It is south Georgia's time to
have the governor. Governor Troup,
from south Georgia, was governor in
1823-27, aud since that time there has
beeu no chief magistrate from our sec
tion of the state. Others have lived iu
south Georgia, but were accredited to
the upper part of the state, where they
lived at the time of their election. Our
section, without wishing to disparage
other parts of the state, is growing won
derfully in population and wealth. Aye,
oura is the most prosperous part of the
state. For proof, see the tax returns
nuw being published. Our county, De
catur, has increased its tax returns over
those of last year $4411,890.00. Where
is the county iu middle or north Georgia,
outside of those in which are situated
the large cities, comparable to it? Our
county is but one of many. All of south
Georgia shows the same increase in
wealth, and, also, as the ceususshows, is
forging anead of the other sections iu
population. Surely the time has come
for us to haye recognition in the coun
cils of the state.
Who, theu, is the most available can
didate 't This question may be settled
by propounding others.
1. Who, of all the names mentioned,
is the most truly representative of our
section ?
Answer—W. G. Brautiy.
2. Whyi 1
Answer—He was born, raised and has
always lived in southern Georgia. He is
indigenous, and was not imported as
were others.
3. Who, by bis political course, .has
made fewer political enemies, aud whose
democracy has uever been questioned '(
Answer —W. G. Brautiy, who has
uever considered himself wiser than his
party, but has always supported its plat
forms aud its caudidates heartily aud
en t h usiastically.
4. Who, of all the names mentioned, is
more iu accord with the sympathies, seu-
timents, wants and interests of the com
mon people ?
The answer is conspicuously seen in
the political and social life of W. G.
Brantley.
In intellectual and educational qualifi
cations he is the peer of any in the state.
Full of euergy, pluck aud courage; strong
in resolution aud nerye power; wise iu
council; conservative, in aetiou, he makes
uo breaks, and always meets the expec
tations of the occasion to the satist'ac-
riou of his fiiends and the silence of his
opponents. In his religious, moral aud
social qualifications he is a facsimile of
the beautiful private life of the great
Nebraskan, whom the democratic party-
lias twice honored with its nomination
for the presidency.
As chief executive he would personify
the motto of Georgia: •• Wisdom, Jus
tice, aud Moderation.” A Christian,
a scholar, a statesman, a patriot
and a loyal democrat, as the staudard
bearer of his party he would be invin
cible, and, as governor of this great state,
a model.
By all tneaus let us unite on W. G.
Brantley as south Georgia’s candidate.

most interesting occasion ever witnessed

The. long expected occurred last
Wednesday when Mr. Robert Boyd
brought his bride home. Friends
have been looking with a degree of
interest for the day whfn Miss An
nie Dickenson would tak the name
of Mrs. Robert Boyd, afid they were
happy to greet her as auoh on the
day mentioned. The quiet wedding
occurred at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Has. Dicken
son, of Fowltown. Ga.
The bride is well kiiowu in Dothan,
ahd is a general favorite here, and as
the groom occupies a Similar place in
the community in general, there is no
difficulty in extending the warmest
congratulations to both parties.
Mr. Boyd is assistant cashier of the
First Natioual Bank of Dothan, and
is held m high esteem-by our busi
ness men. Altogether, it seems to
be a union eminently deserving the
best wishes of friends of the high
con.racting parties, and the Journal
is pleased to hq oouuted one of the
friends.—Dothan Home Journal.
Mrs. Boyd has uiauy friends in
Decatur county who arc glad to learn
of her good fortune, and the Shakcu
Light joins them m good wishes for
the happy coui le.
MBS. V. C. CLIETT VERY ILL.
The readers of the Search Liuht
will be pained to learu of the sud
den serious illness of this estimable
lady. She sufiered some mouths
ago with an attack of apendicitia
while absent with her relatives in
the upper part of the ssate, causing
much apprehension on the part of
the family. After undergoing an
operation iter condition seemed to
improve sufficiently for her return
home, since which time she had been
slowly improving and her family
aud friends had reasonable hopes for
her final recovery. On' last Friday
morning, however, she had an acute
attack of congestion of the lungs and
at this time there is little hope of
her recoversy. Everything is being
done by her pDysioans that can be
divised by medical skill, bnt so far
nothing has availed for her relief.
Later.
Since the above was put id type,
the sad information ‘reached this of
fice that Mrs, Cliett died about 7 p.
m. yesterday. She leaves a husband,
Mr. C. (J. Cliett, a daughter, Miss
Allie Golden and a son, Lewis, be
side a number of relatives is the
city.
To all of these is extended the
sincere sympathy of their many
friends.

when Ben E. Kustell was editing a

wrote paragraphs on the advantages
of judicious advertising, to which lie
attached the names of well known
people. Many of these are still ap
pearing in the newspapers to mis
