A Handsome Statesman.
Hon. Fletcher M. Johnson of Hall,
the handsome statesmen who made
such a splendid record in the past legis
lature, was one of the early visitors
in Atlanta yesterday. Mr. Johnson
came down on the morning train from
Gainesville and returned to his home
in the afternoon. He said he was
right in the race for solicitor of his
circuit, and that he thought he would
win over Mr. Will Charters, his oppo
nent. On being asked if he and Mr.
Charters had formed any combinations
with the numerous candidates for
■congress in that district, Mr. Johnson
said that he supposed he would have to
join forces with Mr. Howard Thompson,
.as he understood that Mr. Tate opposed
him for solicitor and that Mr. Charters
.opposed Mr. Thompson.—Wednesday’s
Atlanta Constitution.
There seems to be no doubt in the
minds of many Gainesville people that
the $3,700 received by the agent of the'
Southern Express Company in Atlanta
a day or two ago is the same money
that was stolen from the company at
Social Circle last spring, the story of
which was fully told in the daily press
at that time.
The amount stolen was $4,000. Of
this amount about $300 was in checks,
the remainder being in cash. This tal
lies exactly with the amount received
by the company, through the mail in
Atlanta. The money was first wrap
ped in a big bundle, it is said, and ad
dressed to the postmaster at Macon.
Upon opening it, he found on the in
side the address of the Southern Express
Company at Atlanta, and it was
promptly forwarded. The Macon post
master was notified later that the
package contained $3,700.
It is known that the officers of the Ex
press Company have been hard at work
on the robbery since it occurred, and it
is generally believed that they were on
such a hot trail that the person who
stole the money ( V?as frightened so
badly that he promptly sent it to the
company, thinking he might thereby
save himself. Several officers of the
company have been in Gainesville this
week but they were mum as oysters,
and would not talk about the robbery.
It is confidently expected that some
sensational developments ia the case
will materialize in a very few days, and
the arrest of the suspected parties may
follow.
Tbe Surprise of AH.
Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm
of Jones <fc Son, Cownen, Ill.., in speak
ing of Dr. King’s New Discovery, says
that last winter his wife was stricken
with LaGrippe, and her case grew so
serious that physicians at Cowden and
Pana could do nothing for her. It
seemed to develop into hasty consump
tion. ’ Having Dr. King’s New Discov
ery in store, and selling lots of it, he
took a bottle home. To the surprise of
all she began to get better from first
dose, and Imlf dozen dollar bottles
cured her sound and well. Dr. King’s
New Discovery for consumption,
coughs, and colds is guaranteed to do
this good work. Try it. Free trial
bottles at M. C. Brown and Co.’s.

The Spring Term.
Work at the Seminary is going on
in earnest. The regular Spring term
does not open until next Wednesday,
though the regular course of study
has been assiduously pursued by the
students here since the first Monday
in this month. Indications are that
the Spring term will be the most sue
cessful of any within the history of
the famous institution. New students
have been coming in several days, and
a larger number is expected to arrive
next week. Teachers and pupils are
at work, and everything indicates an
eminently successful term.

The election for alderman from the

JSxposnre to Disease.
This does not necessarily mean tke
contraction of disease provided the
system is in a vigorous condition, with
the blood pure and all the organs in
healthy action. When in such a con
dition contagion is readily resisted and
the disease germs can find no room for
lodgment. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the
best medicine to build up the system
because it makes pure, rieh blood, and
pure blood is the basis of good health
In cold weather it is especially neces
sary to keep up the health tone because
the body is subject to greater exposure
and more liable to disease. Hood’s
Sarsaparilla is the safeguard of health.
