VOL. XXV. Gov. Brown Announces. Ou Saturday last,'following the meeting of the State Executive Committee, Governor Joseph M. Brown made announcement of his candidacy for re-election to the Governorship. His platform will be about what it was during his race in 1908 Governor Brown’s statement regarding his candidacy is as follows: “I have considered it improper to make any declaration affecting a candidacy for Governor until at least after the State Executive Committee had met and named the day and made other arrange ments for the primary election. “Now that the committee hasj met and done its work, J consider I that the people have the right to | expect a declaration of my inten tion. “I, therefore, say I will be a candidate for re-election to the office of Governor in the primary which has been ordered bv the State Evocative Committee of the Democratic party, to be held Aug. i 2iJ, next. “At this time I will only say that 1 have appreciated beyond j measure the great honor the citi-j zens of Georgia have conferred! upon me and have endeavored to | the best of my ability to be Gov-j ernor of all the people, impar-i tially and honestly and in accor- j dance with the constitution and the laws, without regard to class, j clique, locality or faction. “I shall continue so to lie, and if re-elected the same policy shall be my aim throughout another term.” MR. KIGHT SAYS REPORT IS FALSE. Judge 11. J. Eight of Soperton, i one of the candidates for Repre-1 sentative, was among the visitors here Tuesday, mingling among j his friends. Mr. Eight feels very keenly the report published to the effect that he would retire from the race. This report, he says, is absolutely false, and appears to ■ have been circulated as a means of doing him injury. Mr. Eight is still in the race for representa tive of the county, and desires to have it understood that he has not retired from the field. He is a clever gentleman, and deserves tlie favor of his friends. Stuckey. Special Correspondence. Miss Alma Stuckey is at home to spend vacation.

M'ARTHUR, To the Voters of Montgomery '■4 County: 1 have been urged to permit the use of my name as a candidate to succeed myself as the Representa tive in' the General Assembly from Montgomery County’ in the election, the date for which will soon, bo set by the Democratic Executive Committee. 1 have been somewhat reticent in deciding for the reason that my duties as the Representative of the County at the present time will preclude my making an active or an aggressive campaign. lam , sure this will militate against, me j only to a certain extent; for the ; intelligent voters of Montgomery j County, and this 1 am indeed glad to say, constitutes a large major ity, need no personal solicitation. I feel deeply the honor that the people of the County have done me in electing me as their Rep resentative, and I have striven ito conscientiously give you my j very best service, and while it has | been a great financial sacrifice ! which I have made, 1 feel that I ! have been justified therein by the honor that is attached to the office. My friends have been persistent, j in their efforts to have me enter j j the race for re-election, and my ! . purpose m writing this card is that 1 will appreciate an express i ion from my friends in different sections of the County as to the advisability of my offering for re election. A candid statement, from you, whether favorable or unfavorable will be appreciated and your decision in the matter will he mine. Assuring the people of this County that my only inclination is to serve them, if they desire ' me to, and renewing my express ! ions of gratitude for what they i have done me, I am, Sincerely, Douglas S. McArthur. (jlenwoori, I. ■ Hpocial CoircHpomlcnce. The sing atJMr. Sampson Dix on’s Sunday afternoon was en-i joyed by all present. Messrs.

Towns, Ga., No. 1, June 11,1010. The Montgomery Monitor: If 1 am the first to one to send in a corn silk, then 1 am to get the Montgomery Monitor a year, land Oblige, 'l'. L. Purvis. Our needs are many, Mis true; but we cannot use this little corn silk to an advantage. We are not yet accustomed to smoking this form of weed, and it would he i rather out. of date for a false mus tache. Therefore, we can only thank this good friend for his thoughtfulness and generosity, and casually state that our period of existence on corn silks, cotton blooms, chips and whetstones is past. Our business, like any oth er, is run for what there is in it, as well as for the profit of the public. We are glad to mention the first fruits of any industrious, farmer, but do not propose to pin | a dollar bill on every boquet we may hand out. A TRIBUTE. John Earley Register, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Register, de parted this life the "id day of May. He was (5 yours, 4 months and li! ; days old. He suffered only ten days, and all that loving hands and medical i skill could do was done. Sweet and lovely little Johnie, We have laid him down t,o rest ; We have placed a pure white rose bud On his silent peaceful breast. Two little eyes in slumber closed, ll<>\\ our heart’s heeding, none but, God knows; One little voice that prattled in love Now is singing with the angels above. Our darling is gone and we are left The lohh of him to mourn; Though may we hope to meet with him With Christ before God’s t,h rone. We shall miss the little darling, But we never shall forget That, when Christ has called us home to heaven We shall meet, our darling yet. God has called him homo im j mortal, Never more to droop or j die, Ever more to be an Angel In Christ’s Eindotn live and bye. God in his wisdom has recalled The boon his love has given— Though the body slumbers, The ! soul is safe in heaven. | Father, mother, there is com fort In God’s promises so sweet; Grasp them and with hope look j toward Little Johnie soon to meet .

Holmes on the sec ond Sunday in Sept.., lS'.tl ; was married to IT F. Hart Dec. 10, I sill ; died at her home in St uck ey, Ua., May R 5, 11110. The saying, “Death loves a shining mark,” is truly verified in the case of Sister Hart. To know her was to love her. She loved her Saviour and Ills church ; and when she failed to be at, a meeting of His people, it, was not for the lack of interest, but when not, from providential causes, it, was because of her wil | lingnoss to sacrifice licrown pleus j ure in order to make it possible for loved ones to enjoy what, she regarded as the sweetest, of priv ileges. She met the many and very se- ! vore trials of life with resigna tion and Christian fortitude. The | Haute sweet, modest,, uncomplain ing disposition which she man ifested in the sunshine was hers in the shadows. When, about six years ago, they moved from Washington j county to Montgomery, and her husband proposed t hat, I,hey buy a farm, she bravely told him to go ahead, and she would stand by him; that she would work hard and make any sacrifice in order to help him pay for it. She lived to see it, paid for. When her husband was put in< | the hospital and under the sur-j geou’s knife she bravely took charge of the farm, and had it as successfully carried on as be could have done. When lie returned weak, broken down in health, and dscouragod, she never allowed her Cheerfulness to diminish, but was j I a veritable ray of sunshine, cheer ing and comforting him, and as suring linn that “lb-yond the, clouds the sun is still shining.” I Truly u good woman lias gone to her reward. She leaves a husband and eight l children besides n host of friends ; to mourn her loss. J. D. Rabun. Sheriff Sale. Georgia-—Montgomery Guuntv Will l,<-holil Ix-fui'c tin court hoiixe door in | Ml.
