THE MUNICIPAL
CAMPAIGN.
The municipal campaign opens this
•week with several announcements.
Hon. M. G. Keith and Col. A. R. Hur-
dett are announced an candidates for
the Mayoralty, and the names of sev
eral worthy gentlemen are also put for
ward as candidates for Aldermanic
honors. Among the latter are Messrs.
S. W. Woods and W. I*. Gearreld, who
are announced as candidates on the
Burdett ticket. Messrs. .1. T. Swint,
T. M. Goodrum, W. S. Askew and W.
.1. Murphey, the Aldermen whose
terms expire in December, arc likewise
offered as candidates for re-election.
It is perhaps due to each of the retir
ing Aldermen to state that neither of
them desired re-election, and a public
declaration to this effect had been
made more than once; but they were
so earnestly and warmly besought
by many of our citizens to stand for
re-election that they have consented to
do so, and are again offered as candi
dates, subject to the city primary.
Their friends have already gone to
work for them, and are urging upon
voters the importance of supporting
the “old ticket.”
Mayor Keith is also a candidate for
re-election, and is standing upon the
record made by his administration
during the past two years, on which he
confidently asks the indorsement of
bis fellow-citizens.
Col. Hurdett has served three terms
as Mayor of Newnan, and made a good
one. His friends are rallying to his
support, and are already actively at
work for him.
Messrs. Gearreld and Woods are two
of Newnan’s best citizens, and if
elected as members of the Aldermanic
Boomi no one doubts that they will
remlea faithful and efficient service,
t hat they have a good following was
evidenced by the number of solicita
tions they received before consenting
to go into the race.
dr. AND MRS. LEVI S. YOUNG, of Moreland, Ga., who celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of their marriage on Wednesday, Oct. 13.
EXTRA VAGANCE OF THE ROOSE
VELT A DMIN1STRA TION.
It is almost impossible to believe that
(he Abosevelt administration could have
been more expensive to the American
poople than was the running of the Gov
ernment during the Civil War, yet it
was. In the years 1862, 1863, 1861
and 1865 total expenditures were $3,394,-
830,931, or $160,671,523.52 less than the
expenditures during the last four years
of Roosevelt’s administration, which to
tal $3,545,502,454.52.
Never but once in the history of the
nation, except in the Roosevelt admin-
istixAiuion, did the expenditures of the
GovoJfttment reach the thousand million
dollaruaark. For the fiscal year 1805,
when the country was in the throes of
the expensive Civil War, the cost of
running the Government reached a to
tal of $1,394,655,148. Of this sum
$1,030,690,400 was for the maintenance
of the army.
In 1862 the total expenditures were
•$477,870,062; in 1863 $729,898,066; in
1864, $877,407,365; in 1865, $1,394,055,-
448; total for four years, $3,394,830,931.
Under President Roosevelt the ex
penditures were; 1906, $736,717,582; 1907,
$879,589,135.16; 1908, $920,788,243.80
1909, (appropriated for during Roosevelt
administration), $1,008,397,543.56; tota
.for four years, $3,545,503,454.52.
During the Roosevelt administration
wastefulness in the navy and in the
army attracted widespread attention.
In what proportion the extravagance
reached the individual American may
be shown by a comparison of per capita
appropriations under the Roosevelt
and Cleveland administrations.
Under Cleveland the per capita ap
propriations for the army for four years
were $1.35; for the navy, $1.54; for
fortifications, 20 cents; the average per
capita for four years for such service,
$3.90.
Under the second Roosevelt adminis
tration the per capita appropriations for
the army for the four-year period were
$3.55, more than twoand one-half times
the amount under Cleveland; for the
navy, $4.91, more than three times the
amount under Cleveland; for fortifica
tions. 82 cents, or more than 50 percent,
increase over Cleveland. The average
pier capita cost for the three services
under Roosevelt was $8.90, two and one-
fourth, times as great as under Cleve
land.
The appropriations for next year are
$1,044,014,298.23, or more than $12 for
On Wednesday afternoon of last
week Dr. and Mrs. Levi S. Young, of
Moreland, celebrated the fiftieth anni
versary of their marriage with a gol
den wedding, and it was an occasion
long to be remembered by the hundred
or more friends who gathered to do
honor to this popular and beloved
couple. The parlors and hallway were
prettily decorated with autumn leaves
and goldenrod, and as the hour ap
proached for the couple to appear
there was a flutter of expectancy
among the assembled guests, which
was only allayed when Miss Annie
Laurie Langford, of Atlanta, began
singing in a sweet soprano voice the
beautiful and appropriate ballad,
"When My Golden Hair Has Turned
to Silver Gray.” As the last notes of
the song died away the opening notes
of Mendelssohn’s "Wedding March”
pealed forth, and all eyes were turned
toward the stairway, which the dear
old couple were now descending, pre
ceded by their little granddaughters,
Ethel Carmical and Eunice Young,
bearing flowers, and their two eldest
children, Dr. A. Q. Young and Mrs. E.
11. Carmical. As they came into the
parlor and stood side by side their pas
tor, Rev. J. 1’. Pressly, arose and ad
dressed them in the following beauti
ful words-
"My friends: I esteem it a privilege
tn say a few words on this occasion; and
the very rarity of such an occasion
serves only to magnify the privilege.
For, while it is true that often we as
semble to join hand and heart of two
souls and bid them God-speed, wishing
them a good voyage, as witli faces set
to the morning and bright with the first
rays of the morning sun they together
embark on life’s unknown sea; still it is
seldom, in the course of human events,
that we are permitted to assemble our
selves to celebrate fifty years of marital
joy and blessedneps — fifty years of com
panionship and helpfulness—fifty years
of service to mankind and to God.
"Hence, my first word to you to-day
is one of congratulation. Fifty years
ago, when at the marriage altar you
plighted your mutual love, friends ex
tended hearty congratulations. To-day
the occasion for congratulations is in
creased fifty-fold. You have been long
spared to each other, to the community,
to the church. U[>on this we congratu
late you, and ourselves as well. That
you have been thus spared to each other
and to us r your friends, is not without
significance. Length of days is a bless
ing promised to them that fear God and
keep His commandments. Old age is
Ixeautiful when it is the culmination of
a well-spent life. The hoary head is a
crown of glory when found m the ways
of righteousness. Hence, the testimony
which comes to us from ywsr lives is
that righteousness is the moot valuable
asset of life; that godliness is profitable;
that the grandest and most noble success
is achieved through service to God and
obedience to H is commandments. Upon
such a life and such a testimony we
unite to-day in extending our 3incerest
congratulations.
"My second word is one of thanks
giving. This occasion reminds-as of the
inestimable blessings to individuals and
to society which inhere in the marriage
relation. No other of the temporal
gifts of God so signally displays His
compassionate concern for the happi- |
ness and well-being of human society
as the institution of marriage: because
no other so provides for and satisfies the
higher and nobler instincts of our being.
Marriage is the culmination and com
pletion of human happiness, i t was so
even in Eden. The unstinted provisions
of divine munificence still leftene want
unsupplied. The completion of man’s
happiness demanded converse and com
panionship—such converse and compan
ionship as is found alone in the union
of two souls in the covenant of mutual
love. God saw, and said, "It is not
good that man should be alorte.’ And,
as His last and crowning gift. He i
formed woman, and gave her to man, |
making them one in the sacred institu-1
tion of marriage. Wherever and when
ever the sacredness of this relation has
been recognized and maintained the
most beneficent results have followed.
The marriage altar is the cornerstone
of the home, and the home is the unit
of all government and social order.
Domestic purity and peace, and the safe
ty and prosperity of society, the sta
bility and righteousness of the State, all
depend on keeping inviolate the sacred
ordinance of marriage.
"Therefore, m this age when the di
vorce court is making a mockery of this
God-given institution—in this age when
the sanctity of the home is being disre
garded and in many instances under
mined—we thank God for this testimony
which your fifty years of mutual happi
ness and helpfulness bear to the blessed
ness of this crowning gift of God.
"It is, then, with grateful hearts that
we stand to-day with you at your fiftieth
mile-post. Together with your children,
we would rise and call you blessed.
Looking backward over the years, we
feel that yours has been in every truth
a race well run, a battle well fought, a
victory well won.
"Our prayer is that your gold may
turn to diamond in the rapid flight of
time.”
Rev. T. R. Kendall, jr., then offered
a brief prayer, after which the guests
crowded around and literally showered
the couple with congratulations, wish
ing them many returns of their wed
ding anniversary, and years and years
more of marital felicity.
A large number of handsome pres
ents were received. Among these was
a gold watch, a gift to Dr. Young from
his children ; a beautiful cameo brooch,
a gift to Mrs. Young from the children
also; a handsome gold-headed cane, a
gift to Dr. Young from his brothers
and sisters; a beautiful gilt clock, a
gift, to the couple from the physicians
of Newnan—and a number of other el
egant presents from friends, both at
home and at distant points.
The refreshments consisted of punch,
cream and cake, coffee and cheese
straws. The souvenirs were dainty
golden hearts, tied with yellow ribbon.
Punch was served by Mrs. Grier Press
ly, assisted hv Miss Mary Moore, of
Newnan. and Miss Lois Young.
Dr. Young was born in Coweta coun
ty in 1838, and Mrs. Young (nee Julia
Bexley) was bom the same year in
Lowndes county. Miss. They were mar
ried Aug. 4, 1859. in this county. Rev.
Hiram Camp officiating. They have
four children—Dr. A. Q. Young, Mrs.
E, H. Carmical and Mrs. J. \V. Cole,
of Moreland, and Mr. W. A. Young, of
Jackson, Tenn. All were present at
the golden wedding except the latter.
Dr. Young is a veteran' of the Civil
War, having enlisted May 9, 1861. as a
member of Capt. S. W. Lee's company,
(Co. A,|) 7th Georgia regiment. He
lost an arm in the battle of the First
Manassas, and in November following
was discharged from service Return
ing home the latter part of 1861 he
again took up the practice of .medicine,
and has followed it continuously and
successfully since.
No couple rn Coweta county is more
widely known or more universally es
teemed, as was evidenced by the large
attendance at the wedding and by the
numerous and costly gifts received.

Mrs. T. B. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. E. S.

They wore wandering in the moonlight on a love

And he told her how he loved her, and f_*oon her
he ne’er would part.
She was his hope, his life, his all: his trui* sweet
heart.
She whispered that “no other one could win the
love she gave"’ —
She said “she’d cling to him through life, until
she reached the grave:”
j But ft question she would ask him : “Couid life be
the same alway?
I Would he ever eeaoe to love her when fur golden
huir was gray?
REFRAIN.
When my golden hair has turned to silver gray.
When the years have come and quickly rolled away,
Will you love me then as now.
Will youikiss my furrowed brow.
When my golden hair has turned to silver gray?

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lirxing of the Eustachian
Tube. When the tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
