Pleased the Audience.
The performance of the Miller-Sisson-
Wallace combination at the Auditorium
Monday night was of a very pleasing
character and was fully up to the stan
dard. The v o k of Polk Miller was
all that was expected of him, and there
was no disappointment on the part of
the audience who appreciated a true
delineation of the old-time negro and
a real hearty laugh. His songs and
banjo picking were great and were
done in Polk Miller’s inimitable style.
Both Mr. Sisson and Miss Wallace were
clever, and provoked their full share
of applause. A fairly good crowd was
present.

Colonel Candler is being strongly
urged to open his campaign in Rome.
A committee of representative Romans
called on him Wednesday to get him to
say he would make his first speech
there, but he did not say positively that
he would but has the matter under
consideration. He was anxious to make
the first speech of the campaign in his
home town, but may speak in Rome
since that ‘famous letter’ was first pub
lished there, and he wants to beard the
lion in his lair.

The Caudley club met at the court
house Thursday night with a very fair
attendance. Encouraging speeches
were made by tbe members who had
visited other counties, and everything
went to show that Colonel Candler’s
candidacy was moving along nicely.
Secretary Boone stated that the mem
bership of the club was now 540, and
three of the committee on membership
had not yet reported to him, which
will doubtless swell the list consid
erably.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
CLERK SUPERIOR COURT.
I have decided to make the race for
Clerk of the Superior Court of Hall
county. I make this announcement
subject to the will of the Democratic
party, and will cheerfully abide by its
action. James T. Chamblee.
Nothing could be fairer, more
philanthropic or carry mere joy to
the afflicted than the generous
offer of the honored and distin
guished chemist, T. A. Slocum,
M. C., of New York City.
He has discovered a reliable and
absolute cure for consumption and
all bronchial, throat, lung and
chest diseases, catarrhal affections,
general decline and weakness, loss
of flesh and all conditions of v ast-
ing away; and to make its great
merits known, we will send three
free bottles of his newly discov
ered remedies to anv afflicted read
er of The Georgia Cracker.
Already his “new scientific sys
tem of medicine” has permanently
cured thousands of apparently
hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it not only
his professional, but his religious
duty—a duty which he owes to
suffering humanity—to donate his
infallible cure.
He has proved the “dreaded con
sumption” to be a curable disease
beyond a doubt, in any climate,
and has on file in hi9 American
and European laboratories thou
sands of “heartfelt testimonials
of gratitude” from those benefitted
and cured, in all parts of the world.
Catarrhal and pulmonary trou
bles lead to consumption, and con
sumption uninterrupted, means
speedy and certain death. Don’t
delay until it is too late. Simply,
write T. A. Slocum, M. C., 98
Pine street, New York, giving ex
press and post-office address, and
the free medicine will be promptly
sent. Please tell the Doctor you
saw his offer in The Georgia
Cracker.
