It is a notorious fact that of all the
governors of Georgia, not one has been
taken from this part of the State, and
fudy impressed with the justice of the
claim, so believe that the time has
already come when the people of this
section of the State should be recogniz
ed iu ibis matter, and we. therefore,
suggest the name of our distinguished
townsman, Col. J. J. Jones, for the ollice
of governor. Col. Jones has spent a
long political life in the advocacy of
Democratic prneiples —never wavering,
his devotion to the party has amounted
to enthusiasm. Mo is familiarly and
minutely acquainted with all the politi
cal economy of the State ; fixed in his
opinions and stern in his integrity, and
if there is a man in the State who de
serves a recognition for important ser
vices, at the hands of the party, Col.
Jones i; the man. In the dark days of

CUBE FOR UOG CHOLERA.
Some weeks ago we published a rem
tdy for hog cholera, which we know to
be good. Below we publish another
remedy, sent to us by Dr. W. B. Jones,
proprietor of Birdsville stock aud seed
farm, near Herndon, this county, whose
experience in stock raising make him
authority upon all matters connected
with the subject of stock. Dr. Jones
says :
“Hogs invariably need spring medi
cine. A simple harmless alterative is
found in the following recipe: One-
quarter pound copperas, one pound of
sn'phur. twenty pounds of salt, two
bushels charcoal, pulverized or ground
fine, and mixed well, and a small quan
tity given in mea 1 nr grits liree times a
week to the herd during the spring
months: so given iu troughs, each aui-
mal will get his share. I have
found this mixture cure hogs of that
debi itvand feebleness which invaria
bly ensues in spring, after the high
keeping of winter feed.”
ANOTHER REMEDY FROM E. P. GODLEY.
“To keep bogs healthy: Take one
quart of tar, run from the lightwoed of
the long-leaf pine, a half gallon of lard,
one quart of sulphur, one quart of tine
salt, mixed well together, give it to the
hogs by rubbing over the corn in the
ear once a week, give each hog one ear,
and then give them an ear each without
the mixture to clear their mouths.—
When you give them slop water, rub
the sides of the trough with the mix
ture. It is also profitable to rub %
little of the mixture over the hogs and
in the mouths of horses, mules and milch
cows-it is good for all stock. The
writer has been using it for 40 years,
and has suffered very little from
sickness of any kind among his stock,
It is also ajgood medicine torpoultry. It
should be used regularly throughout
the year, •

— Prof. J. P. Rodgers in the early
part of last winter bough* a load of
ligli wood from a da ky, who to induce
the Professor to purchase, said : “Loss,
dat lightwood is gwiue to stay wid you.”
Prof. It. has no reason to complain of
its f aying quali'ies, as he says it has
stayed with him all the winter, and is
likely lo remain all summer.
—We learn that on last Tuesday
evening, about 2:30 o’clock, the ’store
of Mr. L B. Elliott, in Bath, Richmond
county, was destroyed by fire. Mr.
E. bad just gone home to dinner, when
he heard the cry of fire, and upon rush
ing saw his store enveloped in flames.
Only a fraetional part of th« slock was
saved. The po.xtofficc which was run in
connection with the store was also de
stroyed, No insurance.
—On Tuesday we had a pleasant call
from Mr. Geo. W. Sapp, an old citizen
of Burke couuty, but who now resides
in Whitfield county. Mr. S. is the
general traveling agent for that live
journal, the Atlanta Post-Appeal, and
we were glad to be informed by him
that the circula ion of the P.-A. was
rapidly increasing. We congratulate
brother Thornton upon his good fortune
in securing the services of so efficient
an agent.
^Mr J. D. Sanders, of Waynesboro,
has invented a plow and stock which
combine every requisite to make it a
complete cultivator. /I he plow is a
large one horse Wping plow, which
does its work easily and thorough y.
The stock is so arranged that it can he
made to take on any class of plow, aud
precludes tho necessity of having a
stock for each kind of plow. Taken
all together, we consider it a complete
triumph, and recommend its adoption by
our farmers.

In the aboye notice, as pub i,bed,
wc most respectfully cull the attention
of our chairman of the Democratic Ex-
ecuiive Committee lo an important er
ror contained therein. '1 he notice
says the State Democratic Convention
will asseinb e in Atlanta on the 21th of
April, when the time appointed for the
meeting of tho State Convention is
tin 10th of April, the 24th of April
being election day. The error being
one likely to mislead those who depend
upon the local prints for their informa
tion, wo suggest the propriety of its
correction.
