THE GEORGIA CRACKER, Gainesville, da., January 15,1368. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT ® ® ® ® ® THE CRACK*ER IS PRINTING MORE NEWS, BETTER NEWS, ® FRESHER NEWS, THAN ANY PAPER IN GAINESVILLE ? And Hanna—hie leg was pulled. Advertising in The Georgia Cracker is judicious advertising. The Governor’s party is having a high old time m Mexico, it is said. _____ The candidates for Secretary of State are looming up in alarmingly large quantities Hon. Hewlett Hall wants to be attorney-general of Georgia. He is not alone in his wants. What Candler will do for the candidate who opposes him for the governorship will be a plenty. Gainesville leads the towns of the Piedmont section. She is to day head and shoulders above them all. Candler, the “plow boy of Pigeon Roost,” will be the next Governor of Georgia. His majority will be something like 80,000. The gubernatorial campaign seems to be warming up consider- ablv. Some formal announce- mehts are expected soon. O, yes, Howard Thompson is a pretty good runner himself. In a congressional race he can take care of himself pretty well. Tom Felder will give Livingston a lively tilt, if he don’t beat him. Felder has friends, just lots of ’em, who hope he will win. The man who can say where he is at without taking <a year to say so, can be counted on. Too much deliberation is dangerous. Don’t forget that The Cracker is always a.- work for Gainesville. It hopes to see the Queen City grow and prosper as never before. Wasting can be overcome In almost all cases by the use of Scott's Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil and the Hypophos- phites of Lime and Soda® while it is a scientific fact that cod-liver oil is the most digestible oil in ex istence, in SCOTT'S EMULSION it is not only palatable, but it is already digested and made ready for immediate absorption by the system® It is also combined with supply a food not only for the tissues of the body,but for the bones and nerves, and will build up the child when its ordinary food does not supply proper nourishment® Be sure you get SCOTT'S Emulsion. See that the man and fish are on the wrapper. All druggist®; 50c. and $1.00. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York. HON. HOWARD THOMPSON. H011. Howard Thompson has an nounced himself a candidate for the nomination for Congress at the hand8 of the Democrats of the Ninth Congressional district of Georgia. He is w r ell known to the people of the district, and an eu logy of the man and his merits is wholly unnecessary for he is known to be a pure, able, consientious gentleman and a lifelong Demo crat. It is not amiss, however, for The Cracker to say that it sin cerely hopes he will be nominated and elected. Mr. Thompson is a shrewd, wise and conservative man, and the interests of the people will not suffer in his hands. He will faithfully serve his constituents and will endeavor to have enacted into laws such measures as are re garded as essential to the best interests of the people. Mr. Thompson is a staunch Dem ocrat and stands squarely on the platform adopted by the National Democratic Convention at Chicago. He has always been an earnest worker in the ranks of his party, and it is but just and proper that he be honored by his fellow Dem ocrats of the Ninth Congressional district. He has addressed a let ter to Mr. Tate, his opponent, asking for a series of joint debates throughout the district which, if arranged, promise a lively cam paign. Mr. Thompson’s friends throughout the district should begin at once active work in his behalf. They would, by securing his nomination, honor a worthy and place the banner of The congressional campaign in the Ninth will attract the atten tion of the State. The blood}" Ninth can have a lively scrimmage when it tries. Keep at work for your home town. Gainesville is one of the best cities in Georgia, and the proper thing to do is to see if you can make it better. SHOE Stand squarely on the Demo, cratic platform, and never waver. A11 occasional defeat should not cause you to lose sight of the prin ciples of the party. It looks as if Hon. Patrick Walsh is not treated with the courtesy he deserves by the mem bers of his council in Augusta. They should make peace. Senator Teller delivered a speech a few days ago that will cause his party brethren a thought or tw T o. Upon them he served notice that he and those of his faction would do their utmost to defeat the re publican party in 1900 for its present financial policy. Too man Democracy in the Ninth Congress ional district of Georgia in the hands of a man who would never trail it in the dust. BOWDRE. Mr. Shockle who was so badly hurt, is again able to be on duty. Everything is peaceable, and almost everybody busy. We are all expdbting to come to court next week to swap. We are glad to know that Col. Candler is a candidate for Gov ernor. Miss Browning has an excellent school at this place. Good fortune is smiling on Bowdre. The mines are booming and several new houses are going up ‘ * < , The Cracker is a welcome guest and is finding many a new friend. There has f>een less hunting this winter so far than usual. The warm weather has been ex cellent on those who have to buy wood. Small grain is looking fine and a good crop has been sown in this community. Mr. Julias Hulsey is a hustling farmer as everybody knows and would do efficient service in the legislature. A goodly number of the farmers in this community are now at work at the gold mine. Mr. George Rognon is talking of running a vegetable and fruit shipping business during the spring and summer. ! Dun says 1897 is not only the best year since 1892, but the best year of any definitely known. 1898 promises to be a better year than 1897. Here’s to Hon. Howard Thomp son, the next Congressman from the Ninth Congressional district of Georgia. May his, .shadow nev er grow less. The use of the surgeon’s knife is be coming so general, resulting fatally in such a large number of cases, as to occasion general alarm. Mr. William Walpole, of Walsh town, South Dakota, writes; “About three years ago, there came under my left eye a little blotch about the else of a small pea. It grew rapidly,and shooting pains ran In every direction® I became alarmed and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it can- ( cer, and said that it must be cut out. This I would not consent to, having little faith in the indiscriminate use of the knife. Read ing of the many cures made by S. S. S., I determined to give that medicine a trial, and after I had taken it a few days, the cancer became irritated and began to discharge. This after awhile ceased, leaving a small scab, which finally dropped off, and only a healthy little scar remained to mark the place where the destroyer had held full sway. A Real Blood Remedy. Cancer is in the blood and it is folly to expect an operation to cure it. S.S. S. (guaranteed purely vegetable) is a real remedy for every disease of the blood.
