bait Springs, Ga.. May 8, 1886.
Editor Star. —Dear sir: I here is
a report over the county that I am
a candidate for the office of Tax Re
ceiver which is untrue. lam not
a candidate and will not be under
any circumstances.
Very Respectfully
John M. James.
There is a man in this town that
measures others by himself, and at
tributes base motives of which he is
guilty. A suspicious mind is not an
honor to any man. If you want to
know the truth about that fifty dol
lars they say we are to get, call at
this office and we will tell you the
truth. We will state to the man
that is circulating this false report,
that if he does not hold up we will pub
lish him to the world, and when we
tell the people all about him he will •
be taken “with a leaving.” Now
tell the truth and we don’t care.
The picnic of the three schools

, die crowds arrived by railroad, wag
, ons, buggy’s carriages <fcc n dancing

» villiou, under the management of
. master Jot Camp, and was kept up,
save for a short intermission at din-!
net, until late in the afternoon, ]

’ ping the light fantastic,” occupied
themselves in strolling over the
, grounds, fishing in the creek, Ac.
