It has been decided to begin the open

close Saturday July 16th., so as to em
brace but one Sunday. It is probable
that Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage will be
secured to preach one of his big ser
mons Sunday July lOth. He would
be the biggest attraction the Chautau
qua could offer, and many people
would be drawn here from a distance to
hear him. The advertising committee
is now getting out advertising matter
and the chautauqua will be well adver
tised. The railroads will offer reduced
rates and great crowds will be drawn
here.

you are thinking of getting married or
need visiting cards send to J. P. Stev

Letter From Chairman Henley.
Jasper, Ga., May 3, 1898.
Editor Georgia Cracker: Please do
me the kindness to publish enclosed
reply to article which appeared in Law-
renceville News-Herald April 29th, to
which you refer in your issue of April
30th. I ask this as a matter of fair
ness and m justice to myself and the
committee. This attack is without
evidence to support it, unfair and false,
as every member of the committee
knows. I am no politician, and my
endeavor as chairman of the committee
has ever been to deal fairly and im
partially in the transaction of all busi
ness before the committee and m the
discharge of my duties. I see no rea
son why the News-Herald should make
this unwarranted and uncalled for as
sault on me. Very truly yours,
John W. Henley, Chairman.
Jasper, Ga., May 2, 1S9S.
Editor News-Herald : In your issue
of April 29th, under caption, * "Looks a

against me not supported by facts.

Our Spring Opening was a grand success. Our store was literally
thronged from early morn till night. We only state facts when we
say that more people visited our store on our-opening days than was

doubly repaid for our efforts by the many kind words and compli

our “Opening” is over, you will always find our store equally as at

Jasper, Ga., April 14, 1893.
Dear Sir : The members of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee for the
Ninth Congressional District are re
spectfully requested to meet in the
city of Gainesville, county of Hall, on
the 22ml day of April, 1898, by 10
o'clock a. m.,‘ for the transaction of
such business as may be deemed neces
sary anc! to the best interests of the
party. A full attendance being of vast
importance, your presence as a member
of that body is respectfully and earn
estly solicited. Very truly yours,
John W. Henley, Chair.
You further charge that “no notice
was given t our member of the con
gressional committee, (Hon. C. H.
Brand), thai a meeting was to be held,
consequently the party in this county
was ignored, and had no voice in fixing
the date for the primary or the nomi
nating convention.”
On April 14th I mailed to Hon. C. H.
Brand, Lawreneeville, Ga., notice of
the meeting as aboye set out. I do not
know why Mr. Brand did not attend
the meeting, but I was informed that
he could not attend because of impor
tant business in court. If he did not
receive the notice it was not my fault.
As to whether or not I am a * "misfit
as chairman of the congressional com
mittee,” as charged in your famous pro
test, allow me to suggest that my ac
tions as chairman make a closer fit to
the measure of a faithful, fair and im
partial discharge of duty than your
charges do to the standard of truth.
You take exceptions because four of
tins committeemen sent me their prox-
attention to all.

In times of war there is apt to he a change In

enterprises are stopped to a certain extent. Mon

quence of all ot it is, money gets scarcer, and is
worth more than ever.

Candidate For Re-Election.
TIon. Robert F. Quillian has an
nounced that he would stand for re-
tions that came up. I had no occasion J
to vote. Friends of both candidates j
were present, and took part in the de- t
liberations, and by their votes assented
to all that was done. The committee j
was unanimous in the adoption of the ;
resolutions providing for the primary
on June 6th, and the time of holding
the convention. It is remarkable in
deed that the chairman, holding four
proxies, could by legerdemaiD, craft
and cunnipg so manipulate the friends
of two opposing candidates as to make
them unanimous on all questions, and
convert the whole kit of them into a
set of tricksters and tklmbleriggers.
