NOTICE.
Tc T«» Voters or Wayne County.
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.
Jones k Thomas, at Wsvcross,
will treat you right if you buy »
buggy, wagon or harness from
them. They have a large etock,
aad have the reputation of selling
cheap.

A Practical Mau Wanted.
Georgia i« to elect a governor
next year.
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

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."

es, sprains, eczema and all skin troubles

Horteuse.
The good work is still voiug on.
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.

and cheering words to her family ami
friends About 8 o’clock, a. m . she kis¬
sed her father and said she would soon be
at rest. Surrounded by the immediate
family and numerous friends, and per
fectly resigned to her God, she passed
peacefully away at 10 o’clock. ». to., f«l -

The remains of Mrs. Bennett were laid
to rest in the family cemetery, near
father’s home, and were accompanied >y
a large concourse of sorrowing friends
Rev. J. A. Harper, who baptised her and
officiated at her marriage, held the burial
services, tlie occasion being one of great
solemnity. There uuder the shade of the
trees reposes the remains of one dear to
all who knew her. and as the autumnal
breezes blow over her grave they will
gone -"> r from »■»> us and 7 -»■»-•*»• today another voice is i
attuned it the heavenly choir mid a
grander song is sung.’’
Mrs. Bennett was aped 24 years. 8
months aitd 14 days, and in i er death ima¬
ged away a lovable lady, a dutiful wife, a
kind neighbor and a faithful mother.
She leaves many sorrowing relatives and
friends, and a little daughter about 3 years
old to rise up and call ber blessed.
Yet must we part, and parting weep.
What else hath earth for us in store—
These farewell pangs how sharp amt deep.
These farewell words how sad and sore.
Yet we shall meet again in peace
To sing the song of festal joy.
Where none shall bid our gladness erase
And cone our fellowship destroy.
Then hand in hand firm linked at lad
And heart to heart enfolded all.
We’ll smile upon the trouble past
And wonder why we wept at all.
