THE POLITICAL FRIENDS
—OF THE—
HON. JOHN'BcGORDON,
Are respectfully requested to be
present at a meeting, at Amusement
Hall, Saturday morning, June 26th,
at 11 o’clock. It is especially desired
that all the old soldier friends of this
gallant soldier and renoAvned states
man shall be present. Come and 1
bring your sons. Come citizens, all
who remember the heroic days of
’61-'65, and th&dark days of reconstruc

Bosworth the Specialist.
i It Avill hfc remembered that the
specialist Optician, 5-Byaworth, made
much ‘reputation somethin 1 ago in Mil
ledgeville as a specialist on improving
V ision. He will open an office at 'the
oii£p Parlor 5tjEbf and those
o do not see Avell erfcugh, ‘or aGio
suffer eye strain, or frjym headaches
or neuralgia, will Lave ah <mporfnrni-
ty to have their vision improved,
Which "cures pamfuTsensatfons in ,the
i ead besides imyroA T ing the eyes.
Boswortlrl|iaslbuade optics a study
and tlie^eye a specialty, and has made
a big reputation on 'that particular
line. One thing he Avon’t do—he Avill
not deceive any patient, but is a can
did, conscientious gentleman and
specialist.
Mr. Editor : The time approaches
for public sentiment to crystallize up
on some suitable person to represent
our county in the next General As
sembly of the State. The name of
Capt. M. R. Bell has been mentioned
in this connection by one of the city
papers, and so far as the writer has
had opportunity to judge, it is be-
live<l that he would be generally ac
ceptable to the A T oters of the county.
The Capt . is eminently conservative,
is fully identified with the various in
terests of the county, and has abilities
commensurate Avith the responsible
duties of the position. He has filled
important places of •Trust among us
hitherto, Avith marked efficiency and
fidelity, aud Avithal is not an office
seeker.
What say the voters of the county
to the sentiments'expressed?
Citizen.
We haA’e had a big run on our 20c
Gent's unlaundried Avhite shirts this
Aveek. We haA'ea feAv more left ; come
before they are all sold, a real good
shirt for 20c. We received and open
ed to-day a case of White India Lawns
that we will sell for 10c, exactly the
same goods that Aye haA’e sold all the
season for 15c; also a beautiful lot of
saviss and mull trimming for com-
menoment dresses.

Gen. Gordon and His Candidacy.
Mr. Hal Culver and Mr. Augustus
E. Bunn died in Hancock county,
last week.
Editors Union & Recorder:
In this Gubernatorial campaign,
long to be rememberer for the A'iru-
lence of its slanders a id exuberance
Of loose statements generally, it is
possible that the mijnd of some Avell
meaning persons ma; become con
fused and lose sight of die real ques
tions iuvolved in the controversy.
So far as Gen. Gordon is concerned
it is the duty of every true Georgian,
whatever his personal preference may
be in this matter, to bear closely in
mind that the facts in regard to his
character and past official career ha\ r e
almost been hidden aAvay beneath an
avalanche of slander and misrepresen
tation by his opponents.
Let us not forget that Gen. Gordon
retired from Congress with an untar
nished record for probity, and so ad
mitted by both Bemocrats and Repub
licans ; that he had a perfect right to
resign his seat in Congress: that the
law provided a process for meeting
such emergencies; that he was oppos
ed to the appointment of Gov. Brown;
that, fiowever, this appointment was
after Awards ratified by the people;
that there AA*as no trade; that he had
neA r er given up his home in Georgia
and bad a perfect right to lease it find
be absent as long as he chose for am 7
purpose; that any connection Avith
the convict lease Avas a legitimate
business transaction. Further, that
so far as the future is concerned, Gen.
Gordon is pledged to sustain the Rail
road Commission and to protect the
property of the fcstate so far as in his
province lies.
Finally to quote the language of a
great J democratic leader, “General
Gordon is a man of courage and in
tegrity. He never did a cowardly or
dishonest thing. His life is gallant,
chivalric, generous. In Avar and in
peace he has been illustrious. Wher-
ever Georgia called him he has serA r ed
her in honor and fidelity. The man
avIio insinuates that he ever did a cor
rupt or coAvardlv act utters a slander.
The people know it is slander. The
men who issue it knoAV it is slander.
General Gordon’s whole life—on the
field, in the Senate, in his home—
proves that it is false. He fights a-
bove the malignant pettifoggers who
traduce him, as men of great souls
and stainless lives have always done.
And these slanders Avill roll away
from about his character as the
clouds roll away from the mountain
tops. The malice that failed to be
cloud the 'memory of Hill and
Stephens will fail to stain the charac
ter of John B. Gordon.” We can
safely accept him as our next Gov
ernor. S. A. C.
The clerks of Cline & Co., and
Joseph’s establishment will play a
match game of ball against the com
bined forces of McComb & Co., and
Haygood & Caraker, this evening
(Tuesday) at college campus, weather
permitting, at 5.30 o'clock. Come
and see the most laughable game oi
the season.

*■ Closing the Prohibition Contest.
Gn Wednesday last, two of our citi
zens. J. C. Whitaker, prohibitionist,
and F. B. Mapp, an anti-prohibitionist
consulted together to see if an agree
ment could not be reached, to bring
to a conclusion the long and tedious
contest which has dragged on till ev
ery body has got heartily tired of it.
They finally reached an agreement
and proceeded to lay before tfie attor
neys of the contesting parties the fol
lowing propositions, to submit to
Judge Eawson, namely: First, Avas
the action of our ordinary—Hon. B.
B. Sanford—legal, in throAving out
the poll at BroAvn's Crossing, second
ly, was his action legal in throwing
out the poll at Butts’ precinct, and
thirdly, did parties holding tax col
lector's receipts, but against whom
there Avere unpaid tax executions,
have the right to A*ote. These points
together Avith the eA'idence already
taken were to be submitted as above
stated, to the decision of Judge LaAv-
son, Avho in the regular course of the
contest Avould ha\ T e to take them un
der consideration. After a confer
ence, lasting for about an hour, the
proposed basis of settlement Avas ac
cepted by the attorneys for both sides
and now every body experiences a
considerable feeling of relief.
It is proper to say that a state
ment made by Br. Butts that rr would
be almost impossible for witnesses
summoned from the country to at
tend upon the court, day after day, in
the present condition of their crops,
bad a strong influence in bringing
about the agreement above men
tioned.
If you Avan't nice cream, this hot
weather, call at the Lake Ice House.

we speak.

Cure for Piles
Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbor
ing organs. At times, symptoms of
indigestion are present, flatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture like perspiration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after get
ting Avarm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding, and Itching Piles
yield at once to the application of
Br. Bosanko’s Pile Remedy, which
aetc directly upon the part affected,
absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a per
