The Injunction Case

and his securities by execution was
heard by Judge Simmons in Macon
and the decision rendered last week
iB in favor of Tresurer Ren froe, and
we are confident that when the case
18 fully adjudicated by our
courts the final decision will justify
Mr. Renfroe in all his acts, and show
him to be a good officer, a faithful
Treasurer and an honest man, whose
services Georgia cannot afford to
dispense with.

Messrs Editors.
We notice an advertisement in
your columns under the head of
“warning to young men and boys,”
whereby Mr. Jesse Robson cautions
us from bathing or fishing in his
his pond under penalty of a prose
cution. We think he is very un
just and tender him our sincere
thanks for his great generosity.
He says he will charge ten cents
for a fish, audit is the first inti
mation we have had of any fish
being in the pond.
We have been visiting tho place
a few times for the pleasure of
bath because there was no other
place to go to, but we never once
thought the bpnefit we obtained
from such visits could be consider
ed worth anything. If Mr. Rob
son’s intention is to charge us for
such privilege we think he should
first make some neat arrangements
that would give it the name of a
of a “wash-hole” before he consider
ed it worth a nickel.
Yours very truly

P. s.—In the next campaign we
will support Mr. Robson at the
rate of five cents a vote.

No Machine has ever before met
with such universal favor. No other
Machine can do better work nor is
more durable,I no matter what ita
cost may be. It is simple and dura
ble, is within the means of every
family. It is warranted, if properly
used, to wash clean anything that can
be washed by hand. It will wash
the finest lace or largest quilt. It
can be put in nnd taken out of an
ordinary tub in an instant. It will
save one-half the time required to do
the ordinary family washing by hand,
besides saving the clothes and much
hard labor. M. N. Lovell & Co.,
