Crenshaw, Jr: of Spaulding in the race for Rail road Commissoner to succeed Hon Gunby Jordan of Muscogee, and as predicted before by Hustler of Rome, Col. Crenshaw is making a winning race. And why not? He is certainly one of the best all round equipped men for the place, in the state. Gt his race the Macon Telegraph says: “Thomas C. Cranshaw, Jr., ot Spalding is a candidate for rail road commissioner to succeed Hoi G. Gunby Jordan. Col. Crenshaw wou'd make a first-class com in i sioner. Ha is well acquainted with the railroad business, is ; man of untiring energy, and shoulc. he receive the appointment, will unquestionably make a fine offici al,” Another good democratic sheet, the Griffin News and Suu has this to say of the same clever gentle man and this same winning race, after quoting the Atlanta Jour nal : “The following appeared in Wed nesday’s Atlanta Journal “Hon. Thomas C, Crenshaw will be a candidate tor roilroad com missioner. Mr. Gunby Jordan has been appointed by Governor Nor then to fill <>ut the term of Col Powers, deceased, which expires in October, 1895. The appointment will be made by Mr. Atkinson and sent to the senate for confirmation at the meeting of the legislature this year. Mr. Crenshaw has had consider, able experience in railroad mat ters, having for the last.five years been connected with the Ceutr-- . His friends claim that ha has con siderable backing and that he will receive the appointment. There is probably no person in the state better equipped foi the position through natural ae cuteness of mind and ready grasp of all problems coming before him together with the experience men tioned, Moreover, if appointed, Mr Crenshaw would devote his whole time and indefatigable industry to the office. He should receive the appointment. FOLDED HANDS. WRITTEX FOB TIP.

Oft within the busy pathway toiled they with a gladness gold, But the toiling all is over, and they rest in si lence cold. Tired hands, like shattered roses, folded o’er an aged breast, They’re the hands that long have labored ami at last found perfect rest, Hands that toiled with weary, weaving while the billows round them rage, ’ Till they wear the silvery colors worn only by the aged.

Or in hues of sombre blackness did they sit in sin apart, Weaving only from the fancy and the weakness of the heart: Tell me, oh!some white winged angel, if the Story thou d<»st know: But no answer breaks the silence o’er the weaving long ago.
