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.

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, • JEFFEIISOS COUNTY DOTS. Mr- J. D. Ham, father of Cnl. H. W. J.

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.
