doing so, I l»t-g to return many
thankj for your patronage to us

Salutatory.
The foregoing articles will explain
themselves. 1 n taking charge of the
Advance, as editor and proprietor,
we do so under many misgivings.
So far, we have tried to conduct the
paper in a way that would he worthy
Of the liberal patronage already be¬
stowed upon it. How well we have
succeeded, in this point, we leave it
with tiie reader to decide. We may
have fallen short of the anticipations
of many, hut we feel that we have
not signally failed. We have met
many of Oconee’s best citizens and
have we are glad to say, numbered
them with our large list of patrons.
In taking leave of Mr. Hixon, we
do so wishing him abundant suc¬
cess in whatever field of labor in¬
may choose. May his future be
one ol success and entire happiness.
With the determination to do
right hv all we feel bound to hic
cecd. The Any av i. tt) now an os*
tablished fact, and we hope that
om patronage will soon warrant the
improvements we wish to make,
as soon as it is possible, and rank
the Advance among the first-class
weekly papers of the State, and sec¬
to none.
We have no further promises to
make and w ill assure all we shall
our best.

(From lhe Mountain Chronicle.)
As we remarked not long since no
section of the State has any special
right to name the candidate for
Governor—as the Savannah Recorder
held in an editorial a few weeks
ago- and wo do not intend by the
caption of this article that the peo¬
ple of North Georgia will claim the
right to name the man. Wo only
mean to indicate that they have a
decided choice between the many
distinguished gentlemen mentioned
in connection with the gubernato¬
rial honors; and it is gratifying to
fitul that the same gentleman ap¬
pears to he the choice «f the people
in many parts of Middle and Lower
Georgia. The man alluded to is
Gen. L. .1, Gartrelt. If ho becomes
a candidate, he will make an open
manly race, and it can never he
charged that his candidacy was
brought about by any hut the fair¬
est means; he will never be the
candidate of tricksters and ring¬
masters. We clip the following
from the Conyers Examiner-,
“Wo feel more sanguine over
Geo. Gar troll’s prospects than ever.
The news from nil parts of the State
is indeed flattering, and is evidence
of liis rapidly popularity among
the people throughout Georgia.”
Cheek.
The race is not always to the
swift, nor the battle to the strong,
nor is it the man with he largest
mouth who gets the most favors in
the world. Yesterday forenoon a
very quiet stranger entered a real
estate oil ice on Griswold street and
softly asked if he could use n blot¬
ting pad for a moment ^>ne was
handed him and he sat down to a
table, looking around, ami suid :
“Ah ! thanks, but have you pen
and ink?”
The materials were furnished,
him. He tried the pen on the pad
shook the ink around and modestly
continued;
“If you could spare me a sheet
of pajwr?”
A sheet of paper wn* handed him.
He wrote a brief letter, folded it up
and whispered:
“I shall have to beg an envelope
of vou.”
An envelope was passed over, and
when hc had direcU?a it he ]ooked
