Foster, which took place at a private san atorium in Atlanta on Saturday morning last, at 7 p. m Rev. Foster had gone there for an oper ation which was performed several days previous to his death. The shock was more than he could l>e.ar. Mr. Foster was a native of Chris tian county, Kentucky, was reared on a farm and in early manhood en tered Kentucky Cniversity, and in <8172, graduated from the 'rheolog ical department of that institution. Soon after graduation he enteied he entered the evangelistic field in Kentucky, and met with marked success. In 1873 he came to Georgia and located in Walton county, where he entered upon his ministerial duties, which were continuous to within one week of his death, having preached the Sunday before his death at Hampton, Henry county- Mr. Foster's career was remark able in many ways. lie was an humble, inassuming man, yet popu lar with all classes of people, and numbered his friends by his ac quaintances.

The following communication was handed us by one of Winder’s rep resentative citizens with th(* request that we give it space in our columns: Editor News —In your last issue appeared an editorial placing in j nomination the name of R. L. Carithers as a suitable candidate for a seat in the lower house of repre sentatives, and asked those who would second the same to drop you a card. It is true, as you say, that Winder has rapidly grown from a cross-roads village to a city of 4,800 citizens, and her taxpayers are the heaviest in th<‘ county (and they live on Pig Tail alley). They are public spirited and full of energy, and at the head of them stands Mayor R. L. Carithers (who owns a lot on Pig Tail alley.) You suggest that some sections of the county have received more consideration and better treatment than others by her representatives. So might it Ih> with property owners of Pig Tail alley. But , you say, legislative timber should be broad enough to represent the whole caunty regard less of section from whence he hails; so should the, officials who broad ened Pig Tail alley. You say this is true, and such a man is R. L. Carithers (who owns a lot on Pig Tail alley). 1 think you correct in your views as opposing a life tenure in office; 1 also* think the sections from whence the candidates come should l>e changed. (So might sections on ‘‘Pig Tail” alley.) And as you offer Bob Carithers as a candidate, a suitable man fur the county, he might also Ih* offered as a suitable man to make the desired change on Pig Tail alley. You say you wrote the editorial without the I knowledge or consent of Mr- Carithers; —just threw it out forwhat it was worth; so I write this with out the knowledge or consent of the people of Winder or property own ers on Pig Tail alley. Yours truly, Voter. .THE FURNITURE MAN. Probably knows more about the real worth of furniture than the average, customer, and if you are one of these average customers you should leave this point almost en tirely to him. But as to the price you wish to pay and the style you prefer, the furniture man leaves that entirely to his customers. In order that all may find some thing to suit them, this store has collected worthy examples of just about all the styles that are in vogue t< slay- We ask you to give this showing a look over, even if you do nothing but look the time taken up to do this will not be wasted. Why not come? W. T. Robinson. Will Kunfor Sheriff. We have been authorized by Mr. W. I>. Stark, deputy sheriff of Wal ton county, to state positively that he will be a caneidate for sheriff of that county, and that his formal announcement will apppear In The News at the proper time. It will be remembered that all candidates, with one exception, from Gwinnett and Walton coun ties who placed their announcements in the News in 1008, went .under the wire a winner, and the defeated one ran a close second in a fast field. • The Ik* st of all flour K.
