Dallas Taken In.
Dallas, Ga., March 25—Tlie cy

Additional portticulars of tlie cy

Tlie cyclone seemed to form

The first farm struck where any

Ac worth, March 25.—The first

nature—and is above everything, a Lair where it did its work in tlie
business uiun. He is a .clean mnu
politically-an honest and incorrupti
ble official. No one ever charged
Henry D. McDaniel with a menu
act ;no man ever accused him of undue
or unbecoming effort a politician. He
lias had the courage nnd tlie frank
ness to offer for office and always tlie
tnanliness to maintain himself irre-
f lroachnble in the discharge of pub
ic duty. He is a than of his own
taind; a reflective yet determined
temperament; in line, is conservative-
capable and honest.
‘ Not one yeai* lifts passed Rincc his
election to the Gubernatorial Chair;
“but in that time he has administered
‘the affairs of the State wisely and
justly; he has maintained a strict
-surveillance' dypf every department
pf the State government—and he is
a man who never sliurs over work;
he has followed the Legislature in
their duties through nu exacting and
exhaustive session; he has collected
*thc debt duo thft State frfnn the pur
chase of one of its railroads, with
‘eminent advantage to the public
treasury, causing the purchaser to
tender our own bonds ip payment and
having the State a hundred thousand
dollars in interest for tip -years; he
Tins appointed competent mop }p of
fice and has maintained public order
promptly an inexorably whenever
balled upon. All these tilings are
Tn the line of routine duties, we know
but he has shown his faithfulness
and finesse in every day affairs, and
no one doubts that in emergency he
would measure up to tlie full de-
manes of the hour.
1 The time for the election of a Gov
ernor for Georgia has not come; the
people have not given the subject
inuch thought-Gov. McDaniel prob
ably, as little as any one else; but it
inay just as well be stftted that Qeor
gia has a true and tried public ser
vant in the State House now, who
has filled the office acceptably and
well, and whom the people will find
'amply able to take care of public bus
iness for the new term. This is about
the way it occurs to us and we be
lieve our sentiments will be prettily
generally accepted.—Aug. Chronicle.
