DEATH WAS ON HIS HEELS.
Jesse V. Morris, of Skippers, Va., had a
close cal lin the spring: of 1906. He says :
“An attack of pneumonia left me so weak
and with such a fearful cough that my
friends declared consumption had me, and
death was on my heels. Then I was per
suaded to try Dr. King’s New Discovery.
It helped me immediately, and after taking
two and a half bottles 1 was a well man
again. I found out that New Discovery is
the best remedy tor coughs and lung dis
ease in all the world.” Sold under guar
antee at all druggists. 50c and SI.OO.

- Gifts cf the Winds.
Now toil i’s truly, winds of spring.
What jovs to childhood do you bring?
With varied ar;s I strive to please—
\ I bring warm suns and April showers.
’ I bring fresh buds for naked trees
And scatter growing grass with flowers.
And you. sweet summer's gentle breeze,
What gifts of yours do Children please?
The joyous holiday time I bring,
The many pleasures of field and shore.
Long - , sunny days at their feet I fling.
These are my gifts. Can you ask for
more?
Oh. howling winds of autumn drear.
What are your joys for children dear?
I bring down nuts from brilliant trees,
And ripe fruits drop beneath my spell.
1 brighten their hearts with gifts like
those.
No other wind they love so well.
And now, sharp wind of winter cold.
What joys are yours? Can they be told?
I sweep with a wail over barren fields,
Best loved of all the winds that blow.
No other wind such pleasure yields
To boys and girls, for I bring snow.

1 OBiTUARY 1
On April 20 1908 the angel of
death visited the home of Mr. and
Mrs. D. H. Rogers and claimed as
Its reward little Allison, aged one
year and five months. His stay
on earth was short but of sufficient
length for his parents hearts to be
entwined about him. He suffered
for three long weeks and we should
be thankful that the little one is
at rest where he will never know
no pain or sorrow. Of course
father and mother will miss their
little darling but they should
mourn not as those who have no
hopes for we know little Allison is
safe in the arms ol Jesus.
Oh how lonely the home will
seem to father and mother without
their precious baby, but they
should prepare to meet their little
da ling in the brighter world .above
where there shall be no more sep
arations. It is so hard to give up
our dear ones to look at them our
last time in this world but we
should think that God knows best
and should be thankful to know
bhat we can meet them again.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home by Rev. R. 1\ Ram
sey after which he was laid to rest
in the Payne Cemetery-.
Aunt Matt.
In Memory of Tommie
Higdon.
The death angel visited the
home of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Hig
don, on April 21st, 1908, and took
from them their little son Tommie
aged five years and one month.
Tommie was stricken on the night
of the sth with surebro Menigitis
and after two weeks and two days
of suffering he passed away to the
great beyond where there is no
pain nor death. There he is wait
ing for us freed from all sorrows
and that in due time we shall see
him again. Through Gods grace
we know that he is only trans
planted to his loving Fathers
home. Tommie was a bright vig
orous boy and unGi his ast i
- had always been the picture
of health, but all that loving pa
rents and friends and the best
medical aid could do was unavail
able. AY Idle his sudden death
leaves a vacancy in our home that
never can be filled.
The bereaved family desms to
extend their thanks to the many
friends who by their kindness and
sympathy have endeavored to
lighten their sorrows in the time
of their trouble. A precious one
from us is gone a voice we loved
is still a place is vacant in our
home that never can be filled.

For Solicitor General.
To the Voters of Cherokee Circuit:
As i.t will be impossible for rile to strand
talk with all the voters of this circuit, I
therefore adopt this means ot informing
von that l aui a candidate for the office of
Solicitor General of the Cherokee Circuit,
subject to the next democratic primary.
'l'lie criminal hlw, to he Readily
obeyed, must first he respected, and to
give due effect and dignity to the proper
execution of these laws, L believe that a
prosecuting officer should be untrammeled
by any suspicion that he is acting in the
discharge of his official duties with any
sinister or pecuniary motive. 1 therefore
believe that the office of Solicitor General
should be a salaried one and that llie lim.-s
and forfeitures collected, as a penalty for
the violation of the criminal law, should he
paid into the county treasury of each coun
ty in which the same are collected
Your support at the ballot box I shall
greatly appreciate.
Your obedient servant,
T. C. MILNER.
Cartersville, Ga., Jan. 1, 1008.
To the Voters of Cherokee Circuit:
'l'lie State Executive Committee having
called the primary for June 4, I now an
nounce that I am a candidate for re-elec
tion to the office of Solicitor General ol the
Cherokee circuit, subject to the primary.
My record is before you; I have tried to do
mv duty; I think I can justly claim that I
have so conducted the affairs of the office
that I have savtd the tax-payers money by
consuming no unnecessary time in the trial
of cases. I have at all tunes kept in mind
that time is money while the courts are in
session. My knowledge of the duties of
the office is such that I believe I can do
better in future than I have in the past. I
shall he engaged in the courts much of the
time between now and June 4, and cannot
see you all in person. Your support will
be greatly appreciated. 1 promise if re
heted to do my duty, fearlessly and im
pMtiallv. Respectfuli v,
Sam T. MADDOX.
FOR SUPERIOR JUDGE.
To the voters of Cherokee circuit:
1 have twice before asked at your hands
the honor of being the Jndge of your Su
perior court, and each time you have de
cided the matter against me. Rut Ido not
feel that I can lay aside a life long ambi
tion to till this great and responsible office
without once more asking it at your hands
assn ting you that whether or not you are
now willing to elect me, 1 will m l again
he a candidate. My record as a lawyer and
a citizen of your circuit for many years is
before you. If you think that this teem
is such as will justify a g-.-od citi/m
--voting forme, 1 ask your votes and infiu
eni e. If elected 1 promise to the best of
mv ability I will endeavor to ti.ll tin* great
trust you impose on me without fear,f,avor,
affection or Idas, giving every man the im
partial justice the law reunites.
Yours respectfully,
