TU G E<>RGIA CR ACKER. Gainesville, Ga., February 5, 1898. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT ® fit © © © @ THE CRACKER IS PRINTING MORE NEWS, m BETTER NEWS, hjril WJ ‘FRESHER NEWS, THAN ANY PAPER IN GAINESVILLE ? KIMSEY AND JOHNSON. The Grand Jury saw fit, in its recommendations, to endorse Judge J. J. Kijnsey for re-election as Judge of the Northeastern Cir cuit. The Cracker takes this oc casion to add its indorsement to that of the Grand Jury, and hopes that he will he re-elected ny the next Georgia legislature. So far, no one has been mentioned to op pose him, and we presume there will be no opposition. In any event a better man could not grace the bench than Judge Kimaey. The Grand Jury also recom mended Mr. Fletcher M. Johnson for Solicitor-General of the North eastern circuit to succeed Hon. Howard Thompson, f Vho has so acceptably filled the position for a number of years. Mr. Johnson is eminently qualified for the office, and would make an admir able prosecuting officer, the state’s interests being in competent hands when entrusted to him. The Cracker hopes the Georgia legislature will elect Mr. Johnson, and honor a man who deserves it. HALL IS PROSPEROUS. As will be seen by’!the;[general presentments of the Grand Jury, Hall county is in an excellent con dition. It is out of debt, has money in its treasury and has a lower tax rate than three fourths of the counties of the state. This speaks w T ell for those who have had the affairs of the county in charge, and for the good people who compose its citizenship. Hall ranks far ahead of the counties of North-east Georgia, and far ahead of three fourths of all the counties of the state. Her people are good citizens, wise, con servative and energetic, and stand not back for others to say the word, but progress with the times. Much money has been spent in various improvements by the county, but the entire indebtedness has been paid, and other improve ments are going on. The tax rate, 4.79 has been held down by the County Commission ers, and the people feel thankful for it. They can persue their daily avocations, and not be bowed down with the thought that the burdens of taxation are more than they can bear. This comes large ly from leaving the affairs of the county in the hands of business • men who have system and regular ity in all that they do. hence theii wise administration of the county’s business. The county bids fair to prosper as never before. A good roads movement has been inauguiateo, and it is probable that the public highways will be better kept than ever. Necessity has forced the letting of a contract for one new bridge, and the probable erection of others, thereby giving the peo ple of other counties an oppor tunity to come among us, an op portunity many have not had heretofore without great incon venience occasioned by poor and out-of-the-way ferries. The future for Hall county looks unusually flattering. A united effort on the part of its citizens will result in making this belief a happy realization. PEOPLE’S PARTY MEET- Resolutions Adopted, and Dele gates Appointed to State Convention. At a meeting of the People’s Party of Hall county held in Gainesville, Ga., J. N. Twitty, Chairman of the County Executive Committee, presiding, the following persons were selected as del egates and alternates to represent the People’s Party of Hall county in the approaching State Convention: Dele gates: B.
