We hope every voter will bear this in mind and make it a |omt to go to the polls that day and vnte. While it is a fact that there is no op position to any of the candidates nomi nated, except for the office of Sheriff, yet it is the ituty of every voter to go to the polls and vote for all public of fleers. Let the polls be opened at every precinct, and let a full vote be cast. Remember. Wednesday next is the day. • The Home Paper. # Every man is interested in keeping up a home paper. If a railroad or fac tory is wanted, the newspapers are ex pected to work for it. If a public meeting is wanted for any purpose, the newspaper is called upon for a iree notice. If any of the societies have a supper or reception of any kind, the newspaper is expected to give the necessary notice. The*news paper must puff the schools and ev erything else to advance the interests of the business men of ! lie place, and then give them a handsome notice w hen they pass away. And yet some of them “can’t afford” to subscribe, or do anything toward keeping up a Lome paper. —Exchange.

The identity of the latter road will be lost, the Georg’a Midland and Gulf not only taking possession of the property, but name of the Columbus Southern. The two roads will be un der one management, and the officers of the latter road are expecting the b'ow of decapitation to fall any mo raent.

Nolan, who distributed the presents to the eager and waiting young folks in his own happy and in imitable wiy. The beautiful craft bore the name of “Nellie Stewart,” in honor of the little three year-old daughter of Sujierinteiideut T. D. Stewart, of the Methodist Sunday School. It was a joyous occasion that will live long in the memory of all who were present. Great credit, and I the unstinted thanks of all unr people | are due the committe who went to the | pains a d expense of getting up so j novel and attractive an entetainment. Takes 1000 pi opie to buy Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, at 50 cents a bottle, to make up SSOO. One failure to cure w ul t take the profit from 4000 sales Its makers profess to cure “void in the head," and eveu chronic catarrh, and if they fail they pay SSOO for their over-confidence, Not in newspaper words but in hard cash ! Think of what confidence it takes to put that in the papers—and meau it. Its makers believe in the remedy. Isn’t it worth a trial ? ’lsn’t any trial preferable to catarrh ?
