Rope Brown Here,
Hon. J. Pope Brown was in Cor
dele a short while Tuesday en route
to bis home in Hawkinsville.
Mr. Brown, when questioned re
garding bis probable race for gov
ernor, was very reticent and bad lit
tle to say. He Beem to think it a lit
tle too early in the game to do much
talking, hut from what he said one
would conclude that he was not alto
gether indifferent to the subject. Mr.
Brown is a man whom the masses
like and would be glad to do him
honor. If he t does enter the race he
will be a favorite, especially in the
middle and southern portion of the
state.
He talked quite interestingly on
the railroad question, and believed
that nothing better could be done for
Hawkinsville, his home town, than to
have the Albany Northern railroad
extended from Cordele to that place.
He was surrounded by a host of
friends while here who would de
light in assisting him to the govern
ors ehair should he decide to run.

Destitute Children.
Two years ago, February 22d,
1809, Rev. W. E. Mumford. Foun
der, opened the doors of “Faith
Cottage” Industrial Home, five
miles north of Macon, in this state.
The specific object of the Home is
the salvation of the neglected,
abandoned and outcast children of
destitute and disreputable white
parents. It is non-sectarian and
non-sectional. It is now in pos
session of 200 acres of land. Over
$8,000 has been expended in the
purchase of the farm and the im
provements thereon. There are
now six nice buiUiings besides the
outbuildings and barns.
The Home started with three
children on its opening day and
has cared for about one hundred
since that time, eighty of whom
are inmates. now its happy and promising

cordial invitation to the public to
call upon him and investigate the
advantages offered.

Annie E Springer, of 1125 How

when she found that Dr King’s
New Discovery for Consumption
had completely cured her of a
hacking cough that for many
years had made life a burden. All
other doctors and remedies could
giye her no help, but she says of
this royal cure* “It soon removed
the pain in my chest and I can
now sleep soundly, something I
can scarcely remember doing be
fore. 1 feel like sounding its
praise throughout the vniverse.”
So will every one who tries Dr
King’s New Discovery for any
trouble of the throat, chest or
