Registration List.
Atlanta, Sept, loth, 1896
To the Hon. Ordinary Henry County.
Dear Sir:—Many enquiries have
been received at this office as to whetli
er it is necessary to keep three or fom
lists of voters and tally sheets at the
election on the 7ih of October, and in
order that Managers at the precincts
may he fullv advised and all doubt be
dispelled, this circular is sent out to
Ordinaries. The old law on the sub
jecthas not been changed and only three
lists of the names of voters need be
kept.
While the returns of the election of
Senators and Representatives are made
on one sheet and those of County Offi
cers on another, both may be enclosed
together with one list of voters, in the
same envelope and mailed to this office.
Attached to the returns for Senators
and Representatives there must be a
tally sheet in the usual form showing
the vote received by each candidate.
Attached to the returns for County
Otfict rs must also be a tally sheet show
ing the vote received by each candidate
for t ach office.
Thus while seperate returns and
soperate tally sheets for two classes of
officers (Legislative and County Offi
cers) are sent up, one list of voters will
answer for both. But it will be best
for both these returns together with
the'list of voters to be seut up to this
office in the same envelope addressed
to the Secretary of State.
The returns for Governor and State
House Office!s must he made precisely
as heretofore and addressed to the
President of the Senate and Speaker
of the House of Representatives, care
of the Secretary of State There has
"been no change whatever in the 1 ivv

governing the election of these officers.
While three envelopes were sent you
one for the State Officers, one for
the county officers aud one for Senators
and Representatives, you may destroy
one and send up the returns for Sena
tors and Representatives and those for
county i fitters in tlie same envelope,
being'careful to enclose with them one
list of voters.
Very truly yours,
A LLKN D. CXNDLKK,
Sect, of State.
The Sparta Ishmaelite pays this de
served tribute to Georgia’s governor;
“In the opinion of the Ishmaelite
Georgia has never had a truer, braver,
more patriotic executive thau Wm. Y.
A kinson. It has never had a safer
one. It has never had a more watch
ful one. It has uever had ono readier
to spend and he spent in the public ser
vice. It isn’t in the rattling, visionary,
erratic Wright, who makes it a rule to
be wrong in everything but in name, to
make anything like so fair a record un
der the same conditions. Atkinson
will succeed himself.”
Sure to Win.
The people recoguize and appreciate
real merit. That is why Hood’s Sar
saparilla has the largest sales in the
world. Merit in medicine means the
power to cure. Hood’s Sarparilla
cures—absolutely, permanently cures.
It is the One True Blood Purtfi* r. Its
superior merit is an established fact,
and merit wins.
Hood’s Pills are easy to take, easy
to operate. Cure indigestion, headache.

compared to what those of last year
were to the year before. Up to three
years ago the returns have fallen off
not less than $12,000,000. T his year’s
returns shows ipiite an increase, and j
the gain is surprising.

those of last year.
The poll tax for this year is $316,

Why lie Is for Atkinson.
In a speech delivered at the leg dem
ocratic rally at Gainesville, Hon. Rob
ert Berner said: ‘Tam for Atkinson
because he is brave aud true. He has
given us a clear cut administration,
hesitating at no time to do his duty
regardless of const quences. He has
(net every crisis with fairness, and jus
tice. In the treatment of the convict
lease system he was brave and true.
He has known no race nor color. Fair
impartial aud brave, he has stood by
all. It -s the duty of Georgia to stand
by Governor Atkinson.”

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Organa litre!.
The banks of the streams in the vi
cinity of St. Paul’s, on the upper Ama
zon, in South America are dotted with
palm thatched dwellings of the Indians
all half buried in the leafy wilderness,
the scattered families having chosen
the coolest and shadiest nooks for their
abodes. The traveler fra queutly hears
in the neighborhood of these h its the
organ bird, the most remarkable song
ster by far of the Amazonian forests.
When its singular notes strike tho ear
for the (irst time, the impression cannot
be resisted that they are produced by u
human voice. Some musical boy must
be gathering fruit iu the thickets, aue
ir singing a lew notes to cheer himself.
The tones become more fluty and
plaintive. Sometimes they resemble tin
notes of a llagoiot, and the traveler i
almost persuaded, in Hpite of the ah
surdity of the thing, that some person
is playing that instrument iu the prim
eval forests However closely he mat
scan the neighboring thicket, no bin
appears, althuugh the voice seems to bt
that of some oue near at hand.
The bird is -arely, if ever, heard in
the lower Amazon, it is the only
song bird that makes an impression oi
the natives, who sometimimes rest then
paddles while voyaging in their small
canoes along by the shady upstreams,
as if ittiick by the mysterious sounds—
a high compliment, indeed, for the use
ally impassive natives to pay to the
feathered songster.
Capes and Jackets.
Our Mr. Brown lias brought on enough Caper and Jackets to
supply every woman and child in Butts and surrounding counties with
, a Wrap, and when you see them and hear the prices you will Marvel
that such values can be secured for such low prices.
The extremely warm weather, together with an unprecedented
fluctuating market for cotton, has retarded business, and we are afraid
that we will have a very short bu-iuess season, and to get rid of the
immense stock of merchandise,
Our Four Buyers
ha ve brought on, we are going to commence the war on high
prices from the beginning, and endeavor to unload our Merchandise
before Jauuary.
So if you want to supply yourself with Cotton Goods you had
best do so now, as the rise in prices on account of the short crop wil[
certainly carry the price of cotton goods higher.
We have anticipated your wants, at the lowest prices ever readi
ed on these goods, and propose to give you the benefit of it, despite the
rise in the price of the staple.
Come to see us—we have increased our force and will be better
eiiiAltd to serve you.
