I hereby announce myself as a emdidst* for re-election for the of¬ fice of Tax Collector, and respect¬ fully ask the support of my friends aad the voters of Wayne county at the special election, when called. I feel very grateful to the people for their past support, and I have endeavored to give them the best service I possibly could in collect lag the taxes, and promise If I am re-elected, to again faithfully dis¬ charge the duties of the office to the best of my ability. Respectfully, W. J. O’Quinn. The Brunswick Times thinks it probable that the gold deposits found ia the Savannah river are the remains of * gold brick. Some of our exohenges seem to think that the infant Prosperity has not succeeded in escaping from the motherly embraces of tue Wall •treat sharpers. Sheriff Lyens is still kept hus¬ tling around in rainy weather set¬ ting out buckets, tubs, etc., at the jail, to prevent his household ef¬ fects from being washed away by the flood, Prosperity appears to have made • start at last. It can't strike Jes up to soon. As the Macon Tele¬ graph justly remarks, no matter wbat the cause to which it may be attributed, whether it be to Prov¬ idence. high tariff, or some other cause, we will welcome it just the same. If tbs striking miners are not a little more careful, and continue to preteat against the greed of the coal monopolists as they have been doing, they will soon be enjoined from living by some of the wise ( ?) judges who have been so profuse ia issuing injunctions against them.

Already several gentlemen are said to be candidates for the office and there will probably be others. Before the end of this year the the canvass will probably have been actively begun. The Journal has no candidate for governor no* does it presume to predict the choice of the people. One thing is certain, however. It i* that in choosing their governor, the people of Georgia will take some man who has proved his ca¬ pacity to deal with practical af¬ fairs. There will be no difficulty in finding such a man. There are many such men in the stcte and one of them will be the next gov ernor. It is always important to have a man of sound, practical views and good business ability in the execu¬ tive office, but it will 1 e especially needful for the welfare of the state to have such a one for the next term. Many large questions will come up during this administra¬ tion and he should have the capa city to deal with them in the proper way. The penitentiary system will have to be reconstructed and it will tax the statesmanship of Georgia to do that work as it should be done. The next governor will have It In his power, if he is the right sort of man, to aid greatly in the proper solution of this problem. There will be other important questions that will demand his con¬ sideration, such as tax reform, road improvement, and the educa¬ tional policy of the state. Georgia is moving forward and wise legislation and administration her progress during the last years of the century should be at a greater rate than before. The choice of a governor, is therefore, a matter of deep con¬ cern to the people of this state, and we trust they will attend to it deliberately and carefully.—At¬ lanta Jourbal. Htnuds at tlie Head. Aug. J. Bogel, the leading drug¬ gist of Shreveport, La., says: “Dr. King's New Discovery is the only thing that cures my cough, and it is the best seller 1 have.” J. F. Campbell, merchant, of Salford, Ariz., writes: “Dr King’s New Discovery is all that is claimed for it; it never fails, and is a sure cure for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I cannot say enough for its merits.” Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is not an experiment. It has been tried for a quarter of a century, and today stands at the head. It never disappoints. Free trial bottles at H. W. Whaley A Co’s Drug Store. Regular sire 10 cents and $1.00. Judge Griffin, of Zanesville, O., sayn “I never lived a day for thirty years with¬ out suffering agony, until a box of De Wttt's Witch Hazel Salve cured my piles."

Never before has such a grand and glorious time been known at Horteuse. The prayers of both saint aud sinner have been heard. The schackies of old Satan have been broken, aud the dark curtain of sin has been removed, and sinners pros¬ trated beneath their load of sin have been convicted, converted, and sanctified. Thank God for free Salvation, aud such religeon that makes the Baptist and Methodist shout together. They shout praises to God under the tent, on the high¬ way, and at their homes. Now, my brother, my sister, if you have not got such religeon, come to Hortense. seek it, bome rejoicing. God's power is being manifested in ^ ind ^ old ud y0UIlg bavc u*,, ^ iri tuaily blessed, and are no longer groping in darkness. Christ has said, "whosoever cometb unto me, 1 will in no wise cast out.” Now is the time, we have the same Christ today How long bait ye between two opinions? Come and participate in the blessings of Christ, aad witness bis marvelous works, an 1 you will shout “Glory to Gou,” and say that the half has not yet been told. Our sincere desire and prayer to God is that ail might be saved. Novus Homo. Dentil of Mrs. D. H. Bennett. Oc-cuiutED Near Odkska. Friday Mous¬ ing, A ugust 6th. Mrs. D. H. Bennett daughter of Rev.
