Until within the past week or two, the people of Pike county have taken but little interest in the gubernatorial race. They have had other matters to consider, which have occupied their time and attention,. But it is different now. The people realize that it is important that they should be careful in selecting a man to fill the gov ernor’s office of the great state of Georgia. There are three candi date for the nomination for gov ernor, namely, Hon. J.JM. Terrell, of Meriwether; Hon. Dupont Guerry, of Bibb, and Hon. J.H. Estill, of Chatham, all three good, strongmen, well able and worthy | to fill the high office There is considerable sentiment for Col. Estill among the business m6n and citizens generally, for they recognize him as u man who would make a fine executive and who would give the state a splendid business administration, which eems to be very much needed at this time. Col Estill, however, is not very well known in the county and hence the race here is practically between Mr. Terrell and Mr. Guerry. At this time it seems to be close between Guerrv and Terrell, both have many warm supporters throughout the county. It is stated that Mr. Guerry has gained considerable strength re cently, especially among the coun try voters. The statement that all the railroads, all the liquor dealers and all the politicians are support ing Terrell has had a tenden cy to make votes for Mr. Guerry. On the other hand Mr. Terrell has a strong following on account of his well know ability and purity of public and private iife. For our part, while we are not so much interested in one candi date that we cannot soe the worth and**bilit.y of t he others, we would be glad to see Mr. Guerry carry l'ike county, especially since Mr. Estill will not be a factor in this county. Mr. Guerry is in full sympathy with the cause of the common people. He is a brave, pure man and would give to the state an administ rat ion that would be in the interests of the masses of the people. In the House, says the Wash ington Post, there are 1 wo hrol hers serving together and in the Senate two of the Senators are cousins. In neither house, however, are father and son serving side by side. This was the case in the Senate when Thomas F. Bayard waseleced in His father was also a senator at the same time. There are numerous instances in the his tory of the Senate where sons suc ceeded their fathers, .1. Donald Cameron succeeded Simeon Cam eron from Pennsylvania, but the most remarkable instance of suc cession was afforded in the ease of the Stockton from New Jersey. Richard Stockton was the first of the family to enter t he Senate, and was followed by his son. Robert, who in turn, was succeeded by his son, John P. Stockton. The Bayard family of Deleware was also well. represented in the Senate. Jumeg A Bayard and his son James H. Bayard and Richard H. Bayard and his eon, Thomas' F. Bayard, j were all senators from'that state, j . o-ua^ETTE HON. CHARLES L. BARTLETT. On June sth. the people of the sixth congressional district of Georgia will nominate, and later I elect as their representative in the 58th congress, Hon. Charles L. Bartlett, of Bibb county, who is now ending his third term in the national house of representatives. This will he the case, whether he has opposition or not, for his record as congressman has been entirely satisfactory to his const uents. In fact, we do not believe there is a congressman from Geor gia who is so popular with the individual voter. Congressman Bartlett is an able, fearless and faithful representative he has won the admiration, endorsement and the warm personal friendship of the people to such an extent that he is practically invincible. Since lie lias been representing them nothing that he could possi bly do for the people of the dis trict or state has been left undone. He has been diligent in behalf of the various communities which have made known to him any of their wants. The humblest citizen has in Mr. Bartlett a personal rep resentative at the capital city and in all li is legislative career, in Georgia and at Washington city, he has demonstrated that the cause of the people is dear to his heart and he is brave and true in supporting and defending their interest. The people of this dis trict are proud of their congress man and when the day arrives for casting their ballots, no candi date wi 11 be more heartily and en thusiastically supported and en dorsed than Hon. Charles L. Bart lett for a fourth term in the Con gress of the United States. THE POSSE Of r woman in perfect health attracts the eye at once. Such a woman is all too rarely seen.

A farmer in the town of Urbana, Me., noticed the other day a black spot on the back of one of the sheep, says the Brooklyn Times. When he went to look at it the spot instantly disappeared. Then another black spot appeared for an instant on the sheep's back, and as quickly went out of sight. This time the farmer saw that the black spot was a mouse, and while he was looking at the place where it had been the third black spot came into sight at the same place on the sheep's back, and disappeared as the others had. Then Farmer Bailey thrust his hand down into the sheep’s thick coat of wool, and found three snug and cozy mouse nests, each with a newborn litter of young ones in it. He lost no time in breaking up those old mouse col onies, and then looked over others of his sheep, with the result that ten nests were found in all, con taining an aggregate of eighty young mice. The sheep seemed not only to mind the presence of the mice nest in their lleeces, but acted as if they were not pleased with their removal and the de struction of their contents. WHOOPING COUGH. A woman who has had experience with the disease, tells how to prevent any dahgerous consequences from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby hoy being only three months old, ar.d owing to giving them Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, they lost none of their plumpness and came out in much bet ter health than other children whose parents did not use this remedy. Our oldest little girl would call lustily for | cough syrup between whoops.—Jessie Pinkney Hall, Springfield, Ala. This Remedy is for sale by • v .Txo. H. Blackburn. This is the way a Missourian ! confessed at a camp meeting. He was pressing hard to repent and at last got up. “Dear friends” said Bill, “I feel the spirit mov ing me to talk and tell what a bad man 1 have been, but I can't do it while the grand jury is in ses sion.” “The Lord will forgive you,” shouted the preacher.” “I guess that's all right,” said Bill, “but he ain’t on the grand jury.” J.
