During the storin an elec tric wire was blown down in his pathway, and when his hand touch ed it lie could never turn loose un til after he was roasted. A gentle man who went to his rescue met nearly (he same fate. When Judge Tillman said “Guer ry is dubbed as a full Hedged fa natic,” he told the truth. The wild goose chase of a campaign for nearly 12 months, and his sudden war against railroads after he had been thrown out of one’s employ, as is well known, his denial not withstanding, affirms the truthful ness of the assertion. jMr. John Greer, of the Waycross Journal, says the Breeze is making votes for Gueiry in Coffee county. From the observations of the editor of the Breeze, while in Waycross Hast Ounday it is more than tin journal is doing in Ware. The recent visits of John Greer and Sam Jones killed Guerry’s chances in Coffee, if he had liny. Mr. Guerry. said Mr. Estill was an anti-prohibitionist, John Greer’s offer to stake his pile notwithstand ing, Mr. Estill does not drink whiskey nor does he ask others to do so,_ but by a life of total ab stinence sets an example before the thousands of well paid and well clothed men who have worked, for him twenty years, that has made for their families happy homes. Mr. Guerry has never done so.

Terrell in his speech here several weeks ago told of an Atlanta man over in London, Eng., who did so much blowing about his home, that an Englishman who did not know of the wind work of the people of the capital city, innocent* ,ly inquired, “in what partyof At lanta is tlie State of Georgia.” This iot'jcence is very natural, but VfA -“If to object to At- another city’s at ter eight years of train id schooling shove him off on j people as her candidate for cernor.

The New York Journal, of last Saturday, tells of the arrest of a lady in that town, Mrs. Schauss, who has been advertising as “a fascinating widow, brunette, very handsome, who wants a husband,” and who was r,/rested for using the mails for fraudulent purposes. In answer to this adveitisement she received many requests for descrip tions of herself and her photo. She replied in glowing terms, sending the photos of some beautiful wo man, not herself, which always caused a continuance of the corres pondence, terminating in a subse quent request for $50,00 to defray expense of preparation for the nup tial ceremonies. After the $50,00 was received the amorous corres pondent never could get another answer to his letters, which came like shot from a gattiing gun. But she struck her match finally and came to grief. An old Georgia widower wrote to her, received the beautiful p|>oto, &c, sent the $50,00 by post office money order and i ol io wed on same train. He found the lady who receipted for the money, she was the sickly con =i’n'T-i! ive wife of a car-driver, 'l’he nthorities testify that she h.L. . eived a great many money orders for SSO,' <0.

Valuable Instruction to Voters. The voter who does not pay par ticular attention to the instruction of the Executive Committee will vote wrong. No ballot will he counted that is not printed correct ly. The names of all candidates for any particular office will be printed one under the other on the ticket, and the ones you do not wish to vote for must he crossed off—marked oft’, leaving only one name, for that office, —and a pen or indellible pencil is the best eraser. There will he three names on the ticket for governor, and if you vote the ticket with all three of these names it will count for nothing. For instance, there will be, Kor Governor, J. M. Terrell, ‘DuPont Guerry, J. 11. Estill, If you* want to vote for Terrell you mailt out DuPont and J. H. Estill. If for Guerry you mark out Terrell aqd L’.ffAll. If for Estill you mark out Terrell and Guerry. If you fail to do this your bajjqt, will not be counted .for gover nor. In regard t> county candidates you must do the same. If your ballot carries two names for same office it will not be counted. Music and Delsartc. The musical and Delsartc 1 enter tainment to he riven by Miss Tur rentine’s class.

All the candi dates, the successful as well as the defeated will want to go down and wash off the mud they have spat tered on each other. Is your property insured against fire and lighting? If not, you will do well to consult Baker & Tanner, and get a policy. It is about time for editor Per ham, Sr., of the Waycross Herald, to take another leap. He jumped into Terrell’s camp, sometime ago when “it looked like Terrell,” hut now since Estill is “getting on top” it is time for another “leap for life.” Asa ground and lofty tumbler editor Perham is a success.
