By order of J. R. Maddox, Chairman. E. II. Almand Sec. Dem. Ex, Com. dal Co. April 4, 1896. To The Public: When I gave my announcement to the printer as a candidate for the Legislature, I did so feeling that, if selected by my party in the democratic primary, I would he able physically to lead the par¬ ty to success in the general elec¬ tion ; I gave it feeling that the people of my county, to represent whom would be an honor to any man, would give me their endorse¬ ment. The words of encourage ment and the honest offers of sup¬ port from every part of the coun¬ ty, the good wished of my friends in every part of the state, are ap¬ preciated beyond expression, and it is to me a source of deep regret that I am forced by the condition of my health to withdraw my an¬ nouncement. The nominee of the Democratic party for representative should be a man who is in full sympathy and touch with the people and is capable, physically and in every other way, to enter earnestly and actively into the fight which is before us. We have such men and it will not be hard to bring them to the front. Had there been any avowed candidate in my party in opposition to me I would have hesitated to withdraw, although knowing it would be an injustice to my family and myself to con¬ tinue, but, as it is, I can do so without discredit to ray feelings or injury to my party. Thanking my friends for their many kind assurances of support; hoping that some man will be se¬ lected who will represent the peo¬ ple as they deserve and trusting that my health may so improve that I can in the near future en¬ ter actively into the political work of my country, as every patriotic citizen should do, I formerly with draw my name as a candidate for the Legislature. Respectfully, J. N. Hale. This April 6 th, 1896. CURES KIDNEY AND BLAD¬ DER TROUBLES. Thousands of such cases have been cured by the use of Botanic Blood Balm (“B. B.

Mr. James Hollingsworth one of the best men in our county, died at his home near Conyers last Saturday morning about 0 o’clock. He had been sick some two weeks with pneumonia and other com plications previous to his death, having taken his bed on Saturday, March 21. Funeral services were held in * the Presbyterian church at Con¬ yers on last Sabbath afternoon begining at 3 o’clock. Dr. H. Quigg, Dr. J. W. Quillian and Rev. P. P. Winn each took part in the services, Dr. Quigg deliver¬ ing a most beautiful funeral dis course. Dr. Quillian and Winn also made a few appropriate remarks. After services at the church, Mr. Hollingsworth was buried in Rockdale cemetery beside his lit¬ tle son, who was laid to rest there some years before. He left a wife and six children, five daughters and one son to mourn his sad death. Mr. Hollingsworth will be miss¬ ed and mourned as a truely good man, perhaps not having an ene¬ my in the world.

The tobacco habit grows on a man until his nervous system is seriously affected, impair¬ ing health, comfort and happiness.

It le purely vegetable and guaranteed perfectly harmless You can use all the tobacco you want while taking"Baco-Curo.” It will notify you when to stop. We give a written guarantee to cure permanently any case with three boxes, or refund the money with 10 per cant inter¬ est.
