Parrott, BROWN & PA ItROTT. Editors and Pubi.ihiiers. 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.

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 FOR MAYOR. I hereby announce myself a candidate for ye- election as Mayor, subject to nomination in Ihe Democratic primary, and respectfully ask the support of my fellow-citizens. M. G.
