THE EDITOR’S RETURNED,
Ron Uon.Jas. Jas II it. Bovkin Boykin returned letui ned from liom
Atlanta last night, where he has
been in the discharge of his first du«
ties « . legislator.
Tliotigh voting and without ex
perience, U he taken hold of the duties
of the office ^ with ., the ,, skill , ... of ,. a vet- ,
eran acquired by long service, which
is gratitymg to Ins many friends, who
are proud of the laurels he has won.
He did not accept the office as a
mere liouoi-, hut dived into its «*.
He served 011 six of the most
prominent committees of , the , House, „
an honor rarely ever bestowed upon
one so young and inexperienced as
lie, as it* generally requires time to
become acquainted with the duties
oi a new office.
As a Representative, Mr. Boykin
, has served , the people ot Lincoln T ■ 1
county conscientiously and well. He
will receive many handshakes of
warm congratulations from his num
and illustrious manner in which he
has served them.
Tlie Atlanta reporter to the An
gusta Chronicle in speaking of Mr.
Boykin says:
“Speaker Morris paid Represents
five Bovkin of Lincoln ton quite a
compliment when he called upon
him to preside over the committee of
the whole house. This honor gen
erally goes to the older and more ex
perienced members, but the speaker
knew his man, being one of and the
brightest editors of the state,
reckoned rightly that he would sus
tain himself with signal ability.”

DEEDS NOT ADV.ERTISIMG
Have made me known in every county in the state. If I can’t help you, I
don’t experiment. Intelligent application of science has done much in the
past decade. Shakespeare says, “the play is the thing,” but to the suffer¬
ing one tlie CURE is the thing.
Ulcers, Hydrocele, Yarieole, Stricture,
CURED without the use of the knife. BLOOD POISON, is now one of
the curable ills. NERVOUS DEBILITY, which carries in its wake a host
of attendant ills, is a sphere in which I have met with peculiar success.
