many of the commercial and
financial institutions of Savannah.
For years he was a member of the
Board of Chatham County Com
missioners. He has been for twenty
three years president of the Bethes-
daOrphange, the oldest charitable
institution in Georgia. He is one
of the leading men in the Savan
nah Fair Association, and took an
active interest in the success
of the recent State Fair.
Col. Estill is, ancUhas been for
many years, a member of the
Chatham County Board of Educa
tion and is deeply interested in
educational affairs. He in favor of
liberal approprations for the public
schools. He was a leader in the
movement for modem school
houses and advanced education.
As a County Commissioner he
was active in pnblic works. During
his incumbency of the office the
County Court House was built.
The local convict system was
reorganized and improved. He was
largely instrumental in the build
ing of the great drainage system
which has made Savannah one of
the healthiest cities in the country.
The county’s system of charity
was to a considerable degree sug
gested and shaped by him* He is
n favor of improved public
roads.
Col. Estill is, in fact, an opti
mist. He believes that we are liv
ing in the best age the world has
ever seen, and that people are
growing better every day. He has
little patience with the croakers
who continually refer to the ’’good
old times,” and wail because the
world is fast going to the dogs.
There never was a better time
than the present, he says, and the
same will be ttfhe five, fifteen and
fifty [years hence. The world is
better every year.
A Girl’s Letters are Private Prop
erty. 'V; •
“Do you think a girl’s letters
should be the common property
of the whole family? The letters
other girls write her read aloud,
commented upon; and made fun
of because she is only sixteen ? ”
Indeed I do not think so. Every
one has a right to open, and read
her own letters, and parents,
brothers and sisters should res
pect this right.—Mrs. Bangster,

Col. John H. Estill, whose
gubernatorial cadidacy has just
been announced, is one of the best
known men in Georgia. Although
a public man, he has never taken a
prominent part in politics.
Col. EBtill was born in 1840. A.t
11 years of age he entered a,print
ing office and began then a career
that has been characterized with
success in almost everything that
he has iindertaken. Except during
the war between the states, when he
served the Confederacy, he has been
in the newspaper and printing
business all of his life. A year .or
two after the war he secured an
interest in the Savannah Morning
News, to which he has devoted
the best years of his life and with
what degree of success the paper
itself is the best monument. It
has always borne the impress of his
individuality, and will continue to,
no doubt, throughout his cam
paign.

These are twin evils which work
serious mischief in the human body.
They sap the strength, destroy energy
and impoverish the blood. As a result
of these ailments, the system gradu»
ally becomes disordered and the con*
stjtution weakened so that the body
loses vitality and is unfit to stand the
strain of hard or continuous labor;
thus, the victim offers a shining mark
for kidney disease, lung trouble or the

There is no more agonizing trouble than
piles. Tbe constant itching and burning
make life intolerable. No position is
comfortable. The torture is unceasing.
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cures piles
at once. For skin diseases, cuts, burns,

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there isjat least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only postive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Core is taken internally acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The i proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

While Col. Estill has never been
a politician in the ordinary sense
of the word, he has filled many
public positions. Most of the time
however, he has from choice been
a quiet laborer in the ranks.
In 1878 he was appointed a
member of the staff of Gov. Col
