Mrs. Atkinson being not only a
very live woman, but a highly
educated lady, with all the qualifi

come cheerfully, willingly and
very earnestly to her assistance,
and humbly request the Governor
to give her the appointment.
Now, we should all be interested
as to who shall be our next gov
ernor. Of course we want a good
man, who is competent and wor
thy. If we take into consideration
the man who is most capable, in
every sense of the word; who has
done most for, and shown his sym
pathy for all classes of citizens,
one in whom we could all feel
proud, knowing the high esteem in
which he is held all over the Unit
ed States, we do not hesitate to
mention the Hon. Clark Howell.

he is editor, has always taken sides

who gave his name afterward as
Elias Turnes.
The Italian was driving through
the country in a two-horse wagon,
in which were his wife and six
small children, lie stopped at Mr.
Davis’ place and began to help
himself to some cherries, growing
near the road. Mr. Davis went out
to the road and ordered him to
move on. The Italian cursed
him repeatedly, struck him once
with his whip, drew a pistol and
threatened to kill him, and also
threatened to blow up Mr. Davis’
home with dynamite.
Finally, Mr. Davis left the

He upon whom all mankind is
dependent for the real staff of
physical life, is now indeed a very
busy individual. In fact he is the 1
albumen of our existence—a real
necessity. His absence from town
these days is very conspicuousjbut
the corn patches and numerous
broad cotton fields are receiving
the benefit of his presence. The
seasons of sunshine and rain have
been very favorable to this part of
the country—the rains have not
been so frequent nor so heavy as
in other places. Corn and cotton
are looking well, having received
timely cultivation.

of all the other candidates, is fully

for the Italian,and he was followed

to Newnan and lodged in jail.

The Milledgeville News of re
cent date contained some very
complimentary references to the
professional work of Dr. J. P. At
kinson. Three different notices
appeared in one issue of the News.
Dr. Atkinson is forging to the
front in his profession and is rap
idly becoming one of the leading
citizens of Milledgeville. His

friends are much gratified at his

Seeing that if the Italian was
placed in jail, tried and convicted,
his wife and children would be
come a burden on the county, a
number of prominent citizens urg
ed Mr. Davis to agree to allow the
offender to be released on his own
recognizance. Finally this dispo
sition of the matter was agreed up
on, and the Italian was released
with the injunction to get out of
the country. This he proceeded
to do at once.
The man is evidently a desper
ate character; and Mr. Davis’
friends are congratulating him on
escaping from the encounter with
out injury.
