BUBSURIPTION, $1.00 PER ANNUM. Jesup, Ga., March 26 , 1897 . Keep an eye on us, will you? If you don’t believe this is a bang-up sheet, keep it to yourself. There are others. There is a great variety of Parks. There’s Fairmount Park—Central Park—Editor Park—’Nough said. It is perfectly safe for a stranger to visit Atlanta these days. The whole iown has joined the church. Sam Jones is a wonder. The Cuban correspondents are taking a sest lately. They seem to have realized at last that the public is thorougly disgusted with their fake dispatches. Some of the local correspondents of Atlanta papers have been quite busy lately. If they wish to give Jesup notoriety, they have taken a sure method of doing so by adver¬ tising it in the “Looking Gluse.” We are in a predicament. We have work to do in the office, yet at the same time we would like to be on the streets and catch what news is going. We wish Bruffey, the Constitution man, would give us a tip. We wonder how many of the editors who ure denouncing those brutes, those boss's in human form .—Corbett and Fitzsimmons—so strongly, were stretching their necks to get a glimpse of the re turns from Carson on the 17th. NOTICE. To the Democratic Executive Comittee of Wayne County: There having been a vacancy in the office of Tax Collector, caused by the death of W. B.

Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones & Son, Cowden, speaking of Dr. King’s New Dts covery, says that last winter wife was attacked with La Grippe. and her ease grew so serious that physicians at Cowden and 1 ana could do nothing for her. seemed to develop into Hasty Consumption. Having Dr. King s New Diecove-y in store, and selling lots of it, lie took a bottle home, and to the surprise of all she began to get better from first dose and half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well. Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption,Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to do this good work. Try it. Free trial hot ties at H. W. Whaley <fc Co’s Drug istore. Regular size 50 cents and $1 00 . The Good Democrat That’s Gone Under the head of “Another Good Democrat Gone,” the Jesup Sentinel proceeds to take a slap at the News. With a little patience and the aid of* a microscope we managed to read the article all the WH -V through a feat of which fe 1 justly proud. Reading the stars is a ‘cinch’ compared to reading the Sentinel. We would suggest that as a means of adding to their subscription list, they a prize of $100 for the person who succeeds in reading the Sentinel through in the shortest time. would be absolutely safe in this offer, for it would be impossi¬ ble for any one to wade through such a hazy, foggy looking We fail to see where the has b' en making any effort to out or break down the although if such was our we would only have to play a wait¬ ing game as the Sentinel is about out of wind now, and go'ng the hill at a rapid gait—that is, a paper that starts at the bottom of the hill and Stays there, can said to go down-hill. The Sentinel is very much mis taken in thinking that the fact of Editor Park being a democrat caused the stockholders of this company to overlook his short¬ comings. It is a reflection on the stockholders of this paper to state anything of the kind. Tb?y are all men of good standing in community, and would not allow ihe question of a man’s politics to affect their judgment, or cause them to condone his rascality, no matter what his political belief might be, While morally not responsible for a cent of the defunct editor’s indebtedness, the stockholders have expressed their entire willingness to discharge such debts as their misplaced confidence in him laid th"m legally liable for, and it will not be necessary, as the Sentinel thinks probable, for utiy of the creditors to secure themselves by attaching the News outfit. Purks, personally, no more rep resented the polities of the stock holders of this paper, than does Sentinel represent the politics anybody or anything. It is, true—we may truthfully, add pity ’tis true—making desperate to represent the politics of Populist party, but oh, Lord ! an attempt. In conclusion, we would like to suy that if the Sentinel wishes get a lick at the democrats Wayne county, it could use other und fairer means to so. Winchester Makes tlie Host.
