BEST GRADES OF COMMERCIAL STATIONERY. VOL. X&IU. EXCITING RACE CLOSES TODAY. The nice between Gov. HokV Smith and Hon. Joseph M. Brown for the governorship ot Georgia, which has been marked by unusual interest and •excitement on the part of the public, comes to close in today’s primary. Doubtless there has never been a warmer - campaign waged in the state and one in which as mueh personality and abuse entered, and but for its enrlv close the state would be demoralized and tainted beyond recovery. Both sides of the house have been guilty of lit:- necessary and unbecoming polit ical mud-splashing, and if either candidate emerges from the fray in a condition lit to serve the peo ple in a manner in keeping with the former bright record of the state it will be a latter day won der. The gubernatorial cam paigns that have been held in this state for the past two years have been nothing short of social and political debauchery, filled as they have been with greed for office and vain glory and suprem acy, with the welfare of the peo ple and progress k of the state tacked on as fea tures. During the campaign which is just closing The Monitor, as the public medium of the county, has not taken a very active part in behalt of either Mr. Smith or Mr. Brown, but has granted equal ad verting privileges to the local forces of both factions. Person ally we favor Mr Brown for tin* eagerly sought plum. YVe presume that it will he to morrow afternoon before a defi nite count can be had and we can not afford to hold this week's pa per for (lie returns. Both forces claim the state by large major ities, and while nothing definite can be given at this time, it is probable that, the winning major ity will not be very great. NOTICE TO PUBLIC.

Lee. com mnnder-in-chief of the United . Confederate Veterans and one of the last three surviving lieutenant, generals of the Confederacy, died) in the Vicksburg Milita-i ry Park at the official residence of the park commission. | Immediately after the death of this grand old chieftain the sad news was Hashed from one side of the country to the other, and mes sages of condolence were received from every quarter, not only in j the South but. North as well. One by one, of the men we love best —the old veterans —are pass ing o’er t rive?, and before a great many more summers have | passed the few who are left will be j called to join their comrades in a grand reunion “over yonder.” Stephen D.

The saw mill belonging to Mr. I John Gillis near Bethel was part-! ly destroyed by fire some ten days) ago. Only by the heroic efforts! of Mr. Gillis’ neighbors was a por-i ‘ lion of the mill saved. The fire! j originated from the burning slab! • pit, or at. least this is the general • J belief. _ Oscar Davis has* the finest cot ton in tills whole section. Some of our farmers are plow ing up cotton and replanting the 1 . land in corn. This is a good sign i and we beleive if farmers every where Would follow tins example it. would come as near doing away ' with tiie so-called panic as any i move they could make. Our ad vice to the farmer is, plant more , of such things as »re_ needed and on the farm, raise rnV>re floe stuck, and plant less cotton. Thej farmer is the hub of the wheel on which the world is rolling, and should he fail the balance of the world will necessarily fail, 0 NOTICE OF INCORPORATION. Georgia—M ontgHmery County.
