W. D. Oarbart and L. Cleveland, wbo

And as Spalding went, so did tbe
state, with tho single exception of J.
8. Turner, tbe candidate for prison
commissioner. His opponent, Hon. J.
j. W. Renfroe, received a majority of 41
in this county, as tbo Call predicted
some time since be would do.
Tbe large majority Spalding county
gave Hon. O. B. Stevens for commis
sioner of agriculture is largely due to
the indefatigable labors of Col. W. D.
Carhart, who is justly proud of the
success that crowned bis work.

in the least excited the mow in rttrffil
Io fact, so little truth io based IboedßA 1
that little discussion as to the moving I

It y reasonable to suppose if they
Ire to movs Col. Lawton wosOAMv
orders for some before it was given out
for publication, and be states posfihrs
ly no orders have yet bc«n issued to
him regarding tbe moving of his regi
ment. He was in Atlanta Mopday and

four guns had been shipped. These
guns of course are not the full equip
ment of a light battery, yet they will
ascot of them, ere recruits and ibow
nothing of the duties of an artillery
man. It is desired by tbo batteries in
camp that they receive full equipment
at an early date thereby enabling them
to thoroughly learn tbe dutioo before
them.
They spend their time now in daily
marcbea through tbo country and' in
tbe providing for their comfort iu

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the Caxifobnia. Fig Sybup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Caxi

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far IN advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
