Announcement. I hereby announce myself as candi date for Ordinary of Coffee county, subject to the Democratic primary. W. R. Googe. Mislead in In the presentments of the grand ju.y, tlie recommendation to pay me S9B 38 for extra services is incorrect, and misleading to the people, and it is due myself that a correction be made. The grand jury or the county by their recommendation, did not pay me $98.35 for extra services. Only $28.00 were for extra services and tlie rest j $70.38, was for the fee bill allowed by law. This fee bill was as follows: 13 road orders at 50c. each, $7,50; 70 county orders at 50c. each, $18.00: Recording 13(590 words, 120,50 ; Rail road fare $1,30; 3 bridge bonds at sl. each $3. making a total of $70,30 Now this much of the $98.38 is not for extra novice at all, but a legitimate fee bill which the grand jury has no right to change. The remainder of S2B is the insignificant stun they al lowed me and my horse and buggy for 28 days of.extra time 1 spent in looking after the county matters. I only charged two dnllarsa a day for this service, the amount they voted themselves in the grand jury room, and they cut that down to half, mak ing me with my horse and buggy do •erviecs for the li'ggardly sum of $1 a (j n v. 1 write this in justice to myself be fore the people.
