S \I7'E have just a few and one and two horse wagons left and are going to CLOSE THEM
« W OUT during the next few days at LESS THAN FACTORY COST.
H Our reason for doing: this is that our buggy business has grown to such proportions that
we need all our storage room for OUR MAMMOTH BUGGY STOCK and have decided to
SL discontinue the handling of wagons for the present.
5 The two-horse wagons we offer are the Celebrated MITCHELL and the one-horpe are
« made by the WHITE HICKORY people and are known as the Gate City.
We are going to put them on sale at prices that will save you at least $6 to $10 per wagon.
S If you need a wagon now or if you are going to need one during the next twelve months
5 If will be to your interest to see us and get our prices.
SI IT IS IMPERATIVE that we have the room as we will have another CAR LOAD of EL-
II LIS BUGGIES to arrive soon and the WAGONS MUST MOVE.
2. There are only a few of them and if you are interested COME QUICK as we expect to
5 dose them out without delay

from justice, men under indictment from 75 counties in the state.-. The

third in Oregon, The sheriff or-. ing Mr. Smith since 1893. I was
de v ed them arrested and then im- 1 special Indian agent and disbursing
mediately applied to Gov. Brown 1 officer under Mr. Cleveland’s second
fir requisition papers upon the'administration. My duties carried
n the respective states me to ihe great northwest and it
which the. men had fled. Had ( was while in the discharge of ' my
official duties that I came in con
tact with Hon. Hoke Smith, then
secretary of' the interior. I very
soon found out that.be was a man
of very great executive ability. His
quick conception of things brought
manv changes. He turned down
many dishonest claims, cut off a
great number of men who were
drawing undeserved pensions. He
treated reforms in every branch of
the department, bringing a saving
to our national government of prob
ably millions of dollars.
Although a southern man, Mr.
Smith made a deep impression up
on the northern people. His bold
and fearless mariner while in the
discharge of his . official duties
brought to him the respect, the con
fidence and the admiration of the
American people. Old-time men
who had been in the service in the
employ of the government for' 35
years told me that .Mr, Smith was
•more familiar with the affairs of
the interior department in six
months’ time than many of his pre
decessors were after four years.
I served four, . years' under Mr.
Cleveland. I 'served under Mr.
McKinley foi:,.awhile and I met
both presidents arid their cabinet
members, and I want to say that in
my opinion the Hon. Hoke Smith
was the equal of any and all of that
great body of men that stood at the
fountain head of our national gov
ernment.
The el etiem of Hoke Smith for
governor means more to our people
than the human.tongue can-express
or the heart of man realize. His
election will be the great rainbow
of promise to the people, and it will
be the light- that.will dispel the
darkness, which'hits for some time
hovered over hearts, homes and
civic salvation.
Mr. Smith will be nominated on
the 23d, in my opinion, by some
thing over .25,000 majority. TheiA
will be great rejoicing in Zion. Old
Georgia, our. dear old state; will
come to the froht and once more
rank with all the great states of our
union.
With good will to all mankind, I
am, Very truly,
