Tribute to Memory of
Dr. Abner Calhoun.
Rev.J. S. Bryan, pastor of the Meth
‘odist Church, this city, pays the fol-
Jowing tribute to the memory of his
lfrien(i, Dr. Abner Calhoun, in Wed
'nesday’s Atlanta Constitution:
“‘Editor Constitution :—The death
of Dr. Abner W. Calkoun is a cause
‘of great sorrow to thousands of his
friends, patients and admirers, Years
lago, during the lifetime of Dr. Thos.
0. Powell, for nearly half a century
the superintendent of the state asylum
for the insane, I expressed a desire to
live to see the portraits of two men
placed in the state library among the
other distinguished sons and servantg
who have received this honor These
two men were Dr. Powell and Dr. Cal
houn. By the side of statesmen,
soldiers and others, who have rendered
the state distinguished service, these
two philanthropists sbould be awarded
a place. No two men in the history
of Georgia ever did more for the un
fortunate and the afflicted; no two
men were ever more beloved and ad
mired, and no two more richly deserve
to be honored than these public bene
factors. The state owes this debt of
iof gratitude and honor to these two
‘men who so faithfully served her in
Ithexr generation. Will not the legis-
Jature promptly act in the matter

AND COURIER.
MARIETTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 26, 1910,
Cobb is in the Hoke Smith
Column by a Small
Majority.
Gordon Lee Carries County,
and Cheney and York Flect
ed to the House.
When the polls opened at seven
o'clock Tuesday, it was evident that
a large vote would be polled through
out the county. Interest was at
fever heat, and every worker at the
polls gave to his favorite candidate
his best effort. While interest ran
high, but little disorder was had.
and the election was conducted
quietly.
The greater interest was centered
in the gubernatorial candidates.
and it was to this that the fight of
the day was directed. Thz several
candidates for State House officers
had but little attention paid them
so far as discussion and electioneer
ing went, and no forecasts were
even made as to the winning can
didates for these places so far as
Cobb’s vote was concerned.
More interest, however, wasg
manifested in the races for the Leg
islature, and the friends of the
candidates busied themselves in
behalf of their favorites.
Mr. John P. Cheney led the
ticket for representative, followed
by Mr J. P. York, these two being
the nominees. Both gentlemen
are well known throughout the
county, and have been identified,
more or less, with its politics.
This will be the first term for both
in the general assembly. and their
friends predict a record for them
that will be approved by their
constituents.
All candidates for the uncontest
ed offices received practically the

'Mr. Huggard Writes of
His Trip to Canada.
CRrOOKSTON, MINN,, Aug. 16, 10,
Editor Journal and Courier :
After my long trip from my home
town, I am glad to find a resting place
and also the privilege of again read
ing the home news as presented in our
| home paper, the Journal and Courier.
My trip took me through Washing
ton, D.C., to Elmira N, Y, where I
rested for two days, then vin Rochester
and by boat over Lake Ontario to Port
Hope; up the Canadian side to Winne
peg with stop overs at various towns
en route,
In Toronto I was pleased to meet the
McNeel family who were on a vacation.
It was cheering to see a face from
home,
The crops of wheat, oats and hay in
Canada were tine and prosperity was
evident on all sides. Georgia peaches
in Busnia bring 40 cts. per doZen.
Winnepeg is a modern eity of 150,000
people. The boat side from Suspia to
Port Arthur is grand.
I am now in the state of Minnesota.
Expect to visit several towns on Uncle
Bam’s side of the river as I return to
my Georgia home which I would not
exchange for any place I have seen
and be obliged to make my permanent
home.
With kind regards to all my friends
and best wishes for success of the
