A Xcw Candidate Tor Governor.
We learn that Judge James Johnson, of
this city, has announced to his friends
that ho is an Independent candidate for
Governor, Judge Johnson has recently
left the Superior Court bench, and is now
practicing with Col. Ingram. Judge John
son has been In polities for a long time,
and is well known throughout the State.
Alter the war lie cast his ballot and influ
ence with the Republican party, and ever
elneo has been a consistent membor of
that party. We loam that Judge Johnson
Is opposed to nil nominations, and will,
therefore, run as an Independent, looking
to tho President’s message as embodying
his platform. We think anybody will
meet defeat that runs against the nominee
of tho Democratic party, provided every
thing Is harmonious; but wo further think
Judge Johnson will provo tho most formi
dable opposition candidate in the State.
Everybody
In want of a Oarpot should go to the Vir
ginia Store and buy one at New York
Cost.

held a festival last night in Temperance
A largo and enthusiastic crowd
was present, and the hall appropriately

goodly sum in furtherance of their object.
Tho tables were presided over by the fe
male members of the church. Everything

contented assemblage of colored people.
The pastor, Green McArthur, was present,
and assisted by Tom Rhodes and others of
his church, tundo tho festival a success.

the debt of the church.
A Straw,. Thing.
We were told by a very reliable gentle
man that the bottom of a well on lowor
Broad street had dropped out. This is an
incredible story, but he swears it Is so.
It seems the well had four feet of water in
it, and oil of a sudden, tho water disap
peared, and from tho well hot steam
came out the color of smoke. If tho well
was on Front street we might account for
it, on the ground that tho devil had broken
loose, but this well ts in a peaceful locali
ty. They have been waiting two days
for the return of water, but none has ap
peared as yet. Will somo philosopher in

generally recognized as tho “little folks'
friend," and ills extensive establishment,
on Broad street, presents quite a lively

AT COWSKktT
Going into Gowdcry’s, wo found ids
crockery establishment filled, not only
with customers, but also with Chrismas
goods. Time was when china was rare
and Liverpool ware was everywhere. But
now china Is moderately cheap, and the
shelves of the “china-shop” are graced
with the most lovely specimens of art in
figures and pictures of exquisite coloring.
His store, wltich is one of the largest in
tho city, was well filled with all manner of
crockery, and while there we saw in pros
pective many a wife’s heart gladdened by
the purchase of her Christmas tea-set, a
porcelain vase for her mantle, or a set of
Bohemian glass ware.
Ills glass and china ware is of tho latest
designs and coloring. His imported goods
are of the finest texture und finish, and his
prices are extremely moderate. By pric
ing some of his goods, we solved the pro
blem “why such a run had been made on
tills "china-store.”
Nothing wo know of is so calculated to
make tho new year a peaceful one as to
commence it with anew outfit of china,
glass and crockery; so if you wisli to es
cape eurtain lectures, profit by our sug
gestion, and buy a full lino of china ware,
etc., at Cowdory’s, where you can get it
cheap and guaranteed. His goods are ull
of the best quality, and are being sold fast.
So if you want to make a perfectly happy
home, go before all the finest sets aro sold
and get your wife her Christmas present.

rival of new raisins, currants, citron, figs,

any of your gentlemen friends a present.
A box of lineeigars.a nice meerschaum or

brandios and whiskoys for sale by tho
gallon or bottle.lThe puro “carte blanche”

T. T. EDMUNDS.
Wo visited yesterday, on our Christmas
jaunts, tlie elegant furniture store of T. T.
Edmunds, whore we found a most elegant
assortment of furniture, fancy chairs,
lounges, and everything else that can be
thought of in the furniture line.
If you want anything in tho furniture
line cheap, durable, well finished and tasty,
be certain to call at Edmunds' before you
make your purchases. Iu these hard
times it is true economy to buy a Christ
mas gift, it matters not what it costs, that
is not perishable, but tiiat will last and be
of use for years. To those who do not con
sider that house furniture comes under
the head of Christmas presents, we would
suggest the propriety of commencing the
new year with new furniture entire, or at
least with such additions to this year’s as
the wife may dbem necessary. To say
tiiat Edmunds sold goods economically,
would be almost as superfluous as to ask
a starving man if he was hungry. Go
there and get your little boy a velocipede,
and your little girl a nice chair.
E. e. Yo.ver,,
This is the season of the year of all
others to buy anew hat. Your old one
has served you long enough, and on j
Christmas day wear a now hat. Tho
place to get It at. Is Yongo’s, for with a
spocial view to Christmas sales, ho has
procured tho lateet styles of gentlemen’s
hats and tho latest novelties In children’s
and boys’ lists nnd caps. Yonge lias an
exeellont assortment of walking canes,
from which you can make an aeeoptable
present to some friend. Go then and get
a now list.
.1, MARION ENT EH,
Christinas Is hero, and Its time you were
treating yourself and family to anew
pair of shoos. To-day is tho time to buy
them and J. Marlon listen, Is the place to
get them, for he is selling his goods at
prime cost. Every description of shoes
are there for sale, and Mr. Estes is deter
mined to reduce his stock. Take your
little ones to Ills store and have them
fitted out. A pair of shoes is a durable
present to your family; Mr. Estes will
sell them to you so cheap, that you will
feel your money well spent.
THOMAS A PRESCOTT.
Nothing sets off good looks better than
anico fitting suit of clothes. You have
worn your old ones long enough, so go to
Thomas A Prescott and get fitted in one
of his new suits. Take your wife by sur
prise by going home with anew suit. If
you don’t do it, we advise all wives to go
to Thomas fc Prescott’s anil order a suit,
and take their husbands by surprise by
having theta ready for him to don early
Christmas morning. The weather is
balmy now, but cold weather is coming on,
und you will need an overcoat. Take ad
vantage of tho reduction in clothing, and
get you an overcoat. Thomas A Prescott
are anxious to sell theirs, and of course
you cau got a bargain by going there to
day or to-morrow. Don’t put it off, but
put on anew suit of clothes. Y'ou will
feel better and look happier.
A. M. BRANNON*.
Mr. Brannon owns and controls a drug
store, and for a Christmas present ho does
not advise ttie purchase of pills, but he
keeps outside of drugs nice Christmas
presents in the shape of toillette setts,
vases and lamps. If you want to be par
ticularly popular you cun get a bottle of
sweet cologne or Lubin’s best as a present
for Christmas. Such investments would
prove very acceptable. Mr. Brannon also
lias a large lot of fancy articles, and from
them you will be able to select a suitable
present. Call to-day at Brannon's drug
store and see what he has.
GORDON A CARGILL.
These gentlemen are prepared for

customers and making their store attrac
tive, they have recently ordered a lot of
dry goods especially adapted to the
Christmas trade. They aro therefore
prepared to give tiie best of bargains In

Pretty thoroughly buried recently
was that Indian child whose father
and mother held different religious
benefits. They buried it first in the
Protestant, then in the Catholic,
then in the Protestant graveyard
again, and finally adjourned home to

The mother ran away with it to
Louisville, the father came after it
and re-captured it, and that’s the way
the light stood at last accounts.

The demand for Dr. J. Bradfleld's Fe
male Regulator is boyond precedent in
the annals of popular remedies. Orders
come in so thick and fast tiiat tlie Propri
etor has, heretofore been unable to fill
them all. He is happy to state that ar
rangements are now complete by which
lie is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal to tlie emer
gency, and tlie public may feci assured
that their wants may now be supplied.
Physicians of tiigh repute are using this
groat remedy, in daily practice, all over
Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf
fer from suppressed, suspended or irreg
ular menstruat ion. This valuable medi
cine is prepared by L. H. Bradfield, Drug
gist, Atlanta, Uu., and sold at $1.50 per
bottle by druggists throughout America
hearty blooming widow.
Marietta, Ga., March 9, 1870.
Messrs. Bradfield A Cb.J:
Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward liili by mail. We
are happv to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been selling it since 1868,
and witnessed many remarkable cures by
it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and sickiy
until she was twenty-six years old, when
slie was married. Her husband lived two
years and died. She continued in bad
health; in fact, she has never tieen what
a woman ought to be. A few months
after tiie death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it according to di
rections. It has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two bot
tles of vour Regulator, costing her only
three dollars, when she had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without any benefit. Wishing you
I great success with your valuable reme
i dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc.,
