Tile ELL A VILLE.GA., FEB. Is, IsNi. . A. .T. IIaki*, Editor and Proprietor. Marion county went dry week. **- gihlio v rout ti» 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. Plant all Coiloii.

You plant cotton to get out' debt. We will make the first man to speak a pres¬ ent of one year’s subscription to our paper who can say that planting all cotton got him out of debt.

The busi ness of t lie Fidelty is twice as much us it was in 1884, and the death rate is not any larger now, in proportion to the a mount at risk, than it was five years ago. Ex-Governor Hartrant, of Pennsyvania, is organ¬ izing a Mutual Company in Phila- delaphia, and is consulting L. G. Fouse, President pf the Fidelty, as to the best practicable methods, in order to conform to the advanced ideas of assessment insurance, as •expounded by him to the National Convention. Molii bene: If the recent expulsion of the At¬ lanta Home Fire Insurance Com¬ pany by the foreign companies from the Association of Fire Under-writ¬ ers, remits in a cutting of rates and saving to Atlanta of $125,009, I can demonstrate that I can save even more per annum to the overburden¬ ed policy holders in the Fidelity, and give them better security.
