Above will be found notices of
change of the official organ of
three county officers, viz/ The
Ordinary, the Clerk of the Su
perior Court and the ' Sheriff.
Two of the three officers change
their advertising from the Eagle to
The Cracker, and in the shake-up
we do not know that we have any
special kick coming, ^
The Cracker opposed with all
its might the elevation to the
Sheriff’s office'of a than who sold
his political birthright for $35
and, naturally, he is opposed to
giving his advertising to it. That
is all right. We believe the term
of office of such men will be short
lived, aB the people want public
servants in whom their interests
will be safe.

THERE MAY BE OTHER
CHANGES STILL.

The New Yoi*k Herald publishes

agement of the city’s finances they
have well nigh wiped out the debt
which faced them one year ago.
and haye floated the city’s bonds
at an exceedingly low rate of in
terest-much lower in fact tbau any
body hero anticipated and lower
than nine-tenths of the bonds of
other Georgia cities are floated.
The differetn departments of the
city government have not been
neglected but on the other hand
they have all been improved and
the affairs of the city are in gdod
shape. This has taken hard work
and many sacrifices, but council is
composed of men who are willing
to make sacrifices and give their
time and talents for the city’s wel-
Although city taxes were in
creased a fraction this year it was
done in order t6 clear the city’s
skirts of debt and leave council in

same time keep the wheels of prog

prosperity for the city in the fu

present council deserves the cred

grade. ;
To Mayor Mitdhell and members
of council The Cracker, on be
half of’ the people of Gainesville,
extends congratulation upon the
termination of their first year’s
successful admistration and wish

IS NOW A PRIVATE CITIZEN.
Mr. A. J. Mundy, who has served
the people of Hall county as
sheiiff for twelve years, has re
signed the reins to others and has
retired to private life.
But few men leave office with
such an enviable record as be,
and few there are who have stood
closer to the hearts of the people*
In season and out of season be has

for the Democratic party and to
him more than to any other man

success of Democracy in Hall.

of the faith and with his time and

were those who attempted the dis

tear down that which it had taken
years to build pp and to overthrow
the principles which; have stood
through the many years of ad ver-
sifcy, he was ever at : his post coun

In recent years, .he has been
abused, maligned and spat upon
with scorn-as the faithful ever are-
by those who had ends to serve, and
through the machinations of. these

went down in defeat. Although
they nave triumphed for a season
they cannot usurp the power of
the people forever for since the day 6

SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED.
Mr, J. R. Whaley whose term of
three years as a member of the
board of commissioners of roads
and revenues expires the second
Monday in this month, has con
sented ,to allow the use of his
name for re-election. He has
made an excellent commissioner
and his record is above reproach.
All matters that have come before
The board he has given the utmost
attention and the people have had
in him a faithful servant. The
present board is working in har
mony and as the members have
the county affairs well in hand it
tice Fuller, whose views are not
known. The justices understood
to hold that,the constitution ;fol
lows t e flag are: Harland, Brew
er, White and Brown ; those under
stood to hold to the contrary are:
McKenna, Gray, Peckham and Shi-
ras. These are mere conjectures,
however founded mainly on the
character of the questions which
were put to Atorney G eneral Griggs
duringThe argument by Justices
Harland, White and Brown

and it goes without saying that, if
undisturbed they will so judicious
ly manage the county affairs as
to bring this reduction about.
We hope the grand jury which
meets the third Monday in this
month will see fit to re-elect Mr.
Whaley.

Th© Atlanta Constitution.
The Constitution wants good
agents everywhere. Men who will
get out and canvass and hustle for
new business. Many who have to
go over their own and adjoining
counties on business can take The
Constitution along as the best side
liny. Country doctors, tax collec
tors, rural rente mail carriers, nur
sery men, farmers and good work
men, could all realize among these
prizes and make their commission
'besides. A fair salary proposition
for any man.
The Weekly-Constitution makes
special feature of its * agricultural
page, which is presided over by
Colonel R. J. Redding, director of
the Georgia experiment farm, and
a man who is recognized as an ex
pert on all agricultural topics.
He gives a full page every week on
agricultural matters. A page ^
devoted to the women and a page
to children, these two departments
being presided over by Mrs. Wil
liam King.
The Constitution has just com
pleted the 31st yearot its existence
Clark Howell being the editor and
Colonel W. A. Hemphill its busi
ness manager. Its name is a house
hold word in every Southern State
from Virginia to Texas. It has al
ways been in especially close touch
with the agricultural masses of
the South, and in haviug reached
a circulation which carries it into
150,000 homes it has won a unique
distinction which ranks it among
the greatest of American weekly
newspapers.
The Consitution will send a
sample copvof its great Weekly
free to any one sending his own
name and the names of six nei^-
bors, on a postal card.
Every man should tafe his coun
ty newspaper before anything else,
and next to this be should take a
good general newspaper, such as
.The Constitution. His county pa
per gives him the local home news
which is not supplied by a news
paper furnishing the general news
from all parts of the countiy and
from all over the world. Before a
man seeks information from out
side, he should first feel sure that
he is being kept posted on what is
going on at home. When, how
ever, the opportunity is offered to
get the best weekly newspaper in
this country with your home pa
per, the inducement is such as to’
elicit prompt response from our
readers.
We will be glad to receive club
bing subscriptions with this paper
and the Constitntian, and if there
are any who-are now subscribers
to this paper, who wish to take
the Constitution also, we will be
glad to receive subscriptions to the
latter and forward them, having
authority from that paper to do
so.
