Hon. James II. Hlount would
make Georgia one of those good old
fashioned governors for which she
was once renowned. He has stood
the test of term after term in the
halls of Congress and not a breath
of suspicion has ever been uttered
against his name. Ills honesty and
loyalty to Georgia, is unquestioned, the
his ability second to none in
•State. We would like to see Jim
Hlount in the Gubernatorial chair,
notwithstanding it would take one
of her best representatives out of
Congress.—Cuthbert Enterprise.
Why Bro. Stanford, why leave
South West Georgia (or a Governor.
We think Judge John T. Clark,
right in your city a good man and
in every way well qualified tor the
high position. We think South
West Georgia ought to have the
honor sometime or other. We don’t
remember when she ever, if ever
she had the credit of furnishing a
Governor. Why not hoist the Hag
for Gubernatorial honors from our
own section We know several
men in South West Georgia tha
would do credit to the grand old
state and in after years posterity
could speak with pride that such a
Gov. was from Cuthbert or some-
where else as the ease might be. As
for us we would like to see our own
section represented.
