The Newnan Herald goes for Gov-
Smiih, and tho respite of Brinkley
has brought Fitche’s bristles out.
Here is the way he puts it; “It seems
to be a difficult matter to settle the
status of Governor Smith, in connec
tion with the next gubernatorial can
vas. First, it is announced with
seeming authorltiveness that under
no circumstances will he be a candi
date for re-election. And again we
are told with equal semblance of
truth, that ho has no such promises
or pledges, but is still open to con
viction. It matters very little to us
however, which hi" these reports be
true, for in this country lie is political
ly, ' 1 as dead as a door-nail,’ and as
inanimate as a well dried herring.”
The Toccoa Herald follows in the
wake: “The democratic party will
have to undergo a complete change
in its policy on the ‘third term’ ques
tion before it could entertain the idea
of making Governor Smith his own
successor.”
Christmas.
We are about to celebrate another
anniversary of the birth of our blessed
Uedeemer, and perhaps a few reflec
tions and a brief retrospect may not
bo uninteresting to some of our
rea lers.
Whon God was pronouncmg the
dreadful sentence of condemnation
upon our first parents, it was intima
ted tint Hu had in view a purpose of
mercy. It was tho first intimation
of a Saviour, which was given to the
world after it was ruined by sin; and
throughout all succeeding ages of the
church and the world, in the won
derful system of sacrificial and cere
monial observances, in all tho types
of the Jewish law, in the whole cur
rent of prophecy, and in all the chan
ges and revolutions of ancient king
doms and nations, the Ilebrows were
so 'dearly instructed in tho character
and offices of the promised Messiah,
that their unbelief and rejection of
him when he actually appeared, seem
unaccountable on any other hypoth
esis, than that they were judicially
blinded.
According to the prophecy, the
Redeemer of the world appeared.
He was born in the year of the crea
tion 4,000, at Bethlehem in Judea.
