Hoke Smith as a Campaigner.
Hoke Smith’s campaign for gov
ernor will be historical, perhaps,
in more ways than one. Since he
opened his campaign over a year
ago in Madison, he has spoken in
181 counties and by the time he
has wound up a day or so before
the primary on August 22d, he
will have made the total near 140.
In many of the counties he has
spoken twice or more. Fannin is
the only county north of Atlanta
in which he has not made a speech.
Clayton, Jones and one or two oth
ers north of Macon have not heard
him, nor has Oglethorpe, the home
of James M. Smith, another gu
bernatorial aspirant.
The other counties not yet visit
ed by Mr. Smith are in South
Georgia. He has not stormed Col.
Estill’s stronghold—Chatham—
yet, but he will go there the latter
part of July. There are not more
than five or six counties Mr. Smith
has no present intention, at least,
of visiting. Turner is the only one
of the new counties in which he
has not spoken.—Atlanta Geor

Death is always an unwelcome
visitor into whatever home he may
come, or at whatever time he may
come. Long, loving associations
of relatives whose lives have been
linked by close and tender ties,
that are the sweetest and dearest
on earth must be severed by this
relentless foe of mankind. We
never get ready for the change; for
death always comes in a sad and
unexpected hour. It is without
doubt one of the hardest crosses
we are called on to bear in this
life, and were it not for Him who
bore the dark and heavy cross for j
