CHANGES TO OCCUR.
Rumor has it that there are to
he a number of changes in state-
house officials at an early date*
It is pretty well understood that
Railroad Commissioner Brown
Attorney General Terrell and Hon.
Fleming duBignon will be m the
race for governor next year.
It is said that “ both Railroad
Commissioner Brown and Attor
ney General Terrell will resign at
an early date, so as to be unham
pered as candidates for the high
office of chief executive of the
state. For the position of the for
mer it is said that ex-Governor W.
J: Northern is slated, and that
Col. E. T. Brown will be appoin
ted by Governor Candler to suc

eral.

Mr. Dave Roberts, who has been

I see the sweet violets peeping

many respects and, the pet of the town.
Lion not only loved his master and his
master’s family, but he loved everyhod-
y who was kind to him. Especially
was he fond of the members of the po
lice force. For several years he was
the boon companion of the men on the
night watch and always assisted them
in guarding the interest of the city at
night, and would sleep in day time.
It was his rule at dark to find J. S. La-
Waltet Wills, Billy Taylor, or

of the above distinguished gentle

If any one appeared upon the streets
at an unusual hour of the night Lion
would give warning and carry the re

dog discovered some one on top of the
structure trying to break in, and he
held the culprit at bay until the police,
after hearing his barking went to the
place and ‘’pulled” the would-be-rob

occasion he saved the life of a man,
who is now living in Gainesville.

The papers all over the state are
having a great-deal to say about
the gubernatorial race next year.
It is a long time off—over a year
before the state primary. Some
of the candidates are like the Irish

NO PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS.
The legislature at its last ses
sion seems to have made quite a
blunder in appropriating $100,000,
for the payment of pensions of
$60 each to the confederate wid
ows of Georgia, without providing
. the money for the purpose, says
the Atlanta Journal.
* It now develops that there is no
fund from which this money can
be taken, and, in fact, that there
will be no money on hand with
which to pay these pensions before
next December. The legislature
failed to make any special levy
for the purpose, but calculated
that the increase in general taxes
would be sufficient to provide for
these pensions. This may be true,
bu fc these taxes will pof Be collec
ted before December next, hence
the widows must do without their
Jnoney for fully nine months lon
ger than the legislature contempla

Their only chance is in the baTe
possibility that the entire $200,-
OOQ which Governor Candler was
authorized to borrow to meet any
deficiencies* may not be needed to
pay the school teachers, in which
case he could probably devote at
least a part of it. to the payment of
the widows’ peoBious, but this is a
very remote possibility, as the
chances are it* will all be needed
to pay the teachers.
Commissioner Lindsay will re
fuse to issue any warrants until
the money is actually in the treas-
urv, otherwise it might have been
possible for the widows to discount
the pension scrip at nominal cost
and thus relieve the situation to
some extent.

A startling incident, of which. Mr.
John Oliver* of Philadelphia,
was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“I was,in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fortu
nately a fnend advised trying" Electric
Bitters; and to my great joy and sur
prise the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well
man. I know they saved my life, and
robbed the grave of another victim.”
No one should foil to try them. Only
