The room we MUST HAVE and the Wagons MUST GO. 11 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.

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, Adv. J. T. Ogl-esby.
