The unanimous endorsement by the papers all over the Western circuit for Hon. Chas. Brand for solicitor to succeed himself, should be most gratifying to the honored gentleman, who so q netly, yet so firmly endeared himself to the people all over his territory. The following papers contained strong endorsements last week for Mr. Brand: Banks County Journal, Harmo ny Grove Citizen, Jackson Herald, Oconee Enterprise, Lawrenceville News-Herald, Jackson Economist and the Winder Democrat. With such influence as all these good journals are capable of weild ing, together with the support of friends and admirers of Mr. Brand, who know the real worth and power of their faithful officer, he should have no fear or suspense on his brain when he goes to his pillow at night. The'people arejsimply united iu the opinion that Mr. Brand should have the office for a second term, and the Democrat firmly predicts his re-election. —Winder Demo crat. The Bog Law- Judge Estes ÜBes some strong language in favor of thfe dog law in his charge to the grand jury of Hall county, He called attention to the dog law which was recently passed by the legislature and made the law of the state to tax male dogs over 4 months old $1 and every female dog $1,1)0. This law will become effective in a county after it has been recommended by the grand jury of that county. He said that other counties where courts had already been held bad made it the law of their counties, and all counties should follow their example. Ho said that a man who would keep a worthless dog ought to pay tax on it, or a ladv who would keep a pet dog to kiss, instead of kissing a man, should also pay $1 for such luxuries—for a dog was a dog, whether a pet dog or a coon dog. He referred to the manner in which sheep raising had been abandoned in this state on account of worthless dogs, and the wool industry should be fostered to the extent that this law contemplated. Card of Thanks. Suwanee, Ga., Jan. 20.

The groom is a farmer, and is well known, while the bride is a lady of rare accomplishments, and comes of one of the best fam ilies iu the county. We bespeak for the happy pair a bright and j rosperous future. J. F. Wilson. Another Candidate. Mr. Editor : After a long spell of three to five hundred tons pres sure from my friends (which, by the way, are too numerous to men tion) and my own desire te wear my hat iD the court house during the hours of business, I have yield ed to the inevitable, and take this method of announcing myself a candidate for sheriff before my friends have it done for me. This fetch-taked office has been chasing me around for quite a while try ing to get me to aceept him, but I have resisted the temptation until now, for the reason that I was unable to determine whether Mr, Office actually wanted to mix up me, or whether he was seeking to escape the onslaught of the Capital City Regimeut, Just as soon as I was convinced that the latter motive was prompting the action of Mr. Office, my heart warmed up towards him, and I agreed to serve him, just as you, Mr. Editor, or any oue else would have done, who carries a bosom charitably inclined. I am heartily sorry for the other candidates, and I guess you are, too, as they could hardly expect to get many votes with me iu the field, and I warn them in advance not to blame me, for nothing but the piteous cries of Mr. Office for protection would have induced me to allow the use of my name. Candidate fob Sheriff No. Forty-Eleven. POSSUM CORNER. Please listen to what our teach er says about Garner school, after reading “Educational,” by Mies Myra West, in the last issue of the News-Herald. The patrons of Garner school certainly assist their teacher in every way possi ble. I believe that no small school in the county can show a better average, it is the largest small school I ever taught Al though the children are small they are always at their post, un less prevented by sickness. Their parents not only see that they at tend regularly but see that they are on time; During dark, rainy days, if a stranger should pass my school they would think there was going to be a celebration or some such gathering, for they would see fathers with two horse wagons, carts and buggies, unloading chil dren at the school house door. They come rain or shine, and when their teacher sees fit for pupils to have new books you never hear grumbling and growl ing, but the books are bought as soon as possible, and last but not least when pay day comes and the account is presented not one is heard to say, “I am not able, the account is too large, and I think the county should pay it all,” but their teacher is paid without a Royal & tauiTiiytHm Makes the food more delicious and whoteoome SQy*t lASIM. SOWPt* 00., StW TOWS, murmur. The heavy rains have kept the farmers from making any prepar ations for another crop. Cutting cord wood and hunting is the or der of the day. Pink Phillips has bought a grist mill and is ready to furnish his friends and neighbors with meal. A mill has been very much need ed since the old one was burned some time ago. We wish Mr. Phillips all success with his new mill. Miss Mattie Garner, who has been visiting frisuds and relatives here for several weeks, returned home Sunday. All enjoyed Miss Mattie’s visit and hope she will honor us again with her presence in the near future. We are sorry to learn that the son of James New is very sick. We hope for him a speedy recov ery. CITY SCHOOL DOTS. Our school opened Jan. Bth with a large attendance. Since that time many new names have been added to our roll. Everybody seems to be enthusiastic over this work. There has not, within the history of our school, been a time when so much interest has been manifested in Bchool work as there now is.—On Jan. 12th. three lit erary societies, one in each depart ment, were organized. It is the purpose of these societies to devote one hour every Friday afternoon to elocutionary and literary exer cises. Every fourth Friday these societies meet in the auditorium to give a public recital. It is the desire of the teachers to have the friends of the school meet with them each fourth Friday afternoon. Your presence will greatly eucour aga both the teachers and pupils in their work, and we hope to be able to entertaiu you for an hour. —A new feature of our school is the musical and elocutionary de partment which is ably presided over by Miss Lucile Lallatte, of Atlanta. She began Monday with a class of seventeen pupils, and the prospeots for many new ones are bright. We are sure that we should feel especially grateful for having secured the services of so excellent a lady. We are glad that this department has been addded to our schcol. Many told Prof. Ware that it was not possible to establish it in the school, but he is not the man to allow small things to turn him from what he is for the good of the school. —Dr. Warlick pastor of the Meth odist church, was with us Monday morning and made us an excellent talk. We hope to have the other ministers of the city to visit our morning exercises, Pansy. DR. O. B. TUCKER, Ifbysician and surgeon, Suwanee, : : Ga. All calls promptly attended to. DISSOLUTION NOTICE.
