The election for representative is over, and “dry" she went. The next thing to engage the minds of the people is the election for President of the United 8utes, and if each of the ' parties work as faithfully as they did in our local election they each deserve to elect their man. Think of one aide' raising two million dollars for campaign purposes. Think how many suits of clothing this would buy at twenty dollars a suit, with a cirema hat and a pair of Rockland shoes thrown in. If every voter in Ware county gets his hand on this money any other money, except confederate, let hire go at once to Frank C-. Owens, the leading clothier, and get an outfit that will be suitable for the occasion. Owens has enough suits to furnish every man and boy in the county, and » selling them cheaper than ever before. Did you sec bow Geo. Wilson's min strels were dressed. They brought their clothing with them, but Owens sells the most perfect fitting garments in Way- cross. «■ Have you ever bought as good pants for $4 or $5 as Owens is selling for Three Dollars a Pair.
