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.

I CARD FROM MR. 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.

! FIRST CORN SILK
OF THE SEASON.

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 .
By his aunts,

Mrs. Rossie (Jcrtrudo Unmet I
Hart was born in Washington
county Aug. t'», INTO; joined the
baptist church and was baptized
by Rev. T. J. 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.
