EVERY WORD TRUE.
When n man starts out in the
world if he mikes a mistake, does
work that is not first-clas^, or any
thing obnoxious, the sting
rankles in the bosom of some
long time, neve” giving a person
pportunity to improve. Sev
eral years ago John P. Lanier
commenced his career as an artist
an i may have taken some poor
photographs, etc. therefore causing
a spirit of distrust to rankle in the
minds of some, but this should not
be. Since then he has traveled
extensively,ha^ taken instructions
from the must skillful artists ol
the laud, has had varied branches
of experience, and comes back to
Waycroes second to no photogra
pher in the State. His gr» up-
pictures, each person appearing
perfectly natural, are very popu
lar and growing in favor. His
instantaneous process is the very
thing for taking children's pic
tures, never tiring the little ones
and being attractively beautiful.

CLINCH COUNTY.
Clinch county is in our Sen
atorial, Judicial and Congress
ional districts, aud for this rea
son the leading organ of the
district should be the legal or
gan of that county. The peo
ple know this, the Grand Jury
has recomraeuded it, it is cheap
er and there is strong argument
in that direction. For instance,
9,00 o’clock, President T. B.
Marshall, of Coffee county, wasiu
the chair, while Col. Stacy of
Alapalia, acted as Secretary the
first day, owing to the inability of
Secretary Brantley to be present.
Roan Pa fiord, of Coffee county
opened the convention with script

the good old vetcran'of the cross
close to the hearts of all present.

addressed the convention, and his
many friends were not disappoint

words of love and constancy to
our people and the cause he so ably
represents.

that it would be better for the

The Home and the Sunday

of Valdosta was one of the most
sublimely beautiful pieces of ora
tory we have listened to in a long
time. Homes, not made of the
pine lumber of southern Georgia,
nor the marble of Northern Geo
rgia, but of the hearts of the
family, satuated with the spirit of
God, were the happy homes. He
did not believe in the tinkling bell,
the dramatic songs but the sweet
old rale of cbedieuce, love and or
der.
Gov. Colquitt’s speech was one
