form, ’having added four mor •

enlargement h-vatno of a m-arcity
of SJUICO tt herewith to aceoini

creased advertisin'.: patronage.
While the publishers of this pa¬
per may be looked upon by some
as doing an individual business,
for individual gain—all of which
is doubtless very 3 true—we never-
tholefs claim tliat t Jit newspaper
is a public benefactor,and as such
is most, assuredly entitled to the
co-operation and support ot 1 1 ie
cilia-us of the town in \vi • a it
is published.
With the same propriot v
one ini:/lit claim that. the pvinoi
pal of a high school sunning

all of which is \ rim. Hut at

a public benefactor, and ! good
accruing fret It for manv
years :■ ‘ t • ; i pi i,• 1 t• d i; laid
to rest, ; wl what i 1 r the pub¬
lic good should certainly t the
public’s patronage.

may lie, has tho finest potato:- in

Governor Candler Defends

Gnv.-riinv Gamlb'r recently re-
plied to n criticism on <ioorgia in

in New York, It was an attack on
the pr-e.ress of tb • people ot thi

credit ot the state. it was the
outcropping of tho old tight for
lho payment of bogus bonds il’e-
gaiiy and unlawfully issued dur-
in tin day- of the carpetbagger.-

outlawed these bonds.
In defending tho charge
against the ftate, Governor Can

ville, (*a., where Liberty Hail now
standa, with the monument to Mr

many illustrious names thatmrna-
ment the history of our state there
is no one upon which rests a lus¬
ter more sen iu>. It may he truth¬
fully a s -rh'd that his wa- a glory
unditmned by a single speck ot
dark, while hi- intellect was such
that with tongue and p< u he dt i _
served it place among tlie highest;
his moral purity entit led him to a
place among the best.—Savannah

Alexander 11. Stevens was the
greatest natural orator the world
has ever produced, and his like
will never appear again,
power before a jury was so great
that long before his death he re¬
fused to take eases on the prose
euting side. Go!. Seals graphi
cally tells of an instanco at Greens¬
boro, Ga., when vStewns volun-
teered to defend a poor country
girl charged bv her stepfather
with having broken tho Seventh

nte/ speech, without having : n-
troduced anv testimony, and in

ever piesonted t. a jury, he

eye was to be found within reach
