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. P. J. Cline A Co. 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. Lost.—A basket containing a silver knife and fork, and a napkin marked ‘Gause’, supposed to liaA r e been a * the Central depot last Saturday.

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.
