In this issue will be found the an nouncement of Mr. R. H. Nesbit as a candidate for Representative. Mr. Nesbit is one of our most popular farm ers, and if elected, we believe will be faithful to the people’s interests.

Mr. Watts, is a gentle man well qualified, and we predict that he will receive a handsome support in the coming election. Rev. John P. Duncan is now sup plying the place of Rev. J M.

They were both employed on Mr. Alex Hill’s place, and a difficulty occurred between them on the day before, which grew out ‘f some remarks Ellison had made about Bradstreet’s wife. Bradstreet at tacked Ellison after he had in some manner euticed him to his house, and assisted by his wife, beat him severely Ellison procured a warrant and was ta king it to a constable, wliev. Brads'.reet again attacked him. Ellison drew a pistol and shot him. Brudstreet’s wound is not considered dangerous. Ellison reaped. The Capital. Editor Times: I have no apology to make in giving a few thoughts on the subject of re moving the capital. I am satisfied there is no subject of so much impor’ tance to the people of the whole State, and especially North Georgia. In fact the removal of the capital from Atlan ta, its present location, to Milledgeville, would bo directly in opposition to the well established principles of the Dem ocratic party. Retrenchment r.nd reform havo been their watchword and upon this they h-ave laid their foundation aid build upon it, and by advocating this principle and carrying it out so success fully has had me re to do with the success of the Democratic party and final overthrow of the Republican party than everything else combined. Tbe great question before the people of Geor gia is/ how shall we save and keep from spending the people’s money andt here by lighten the great burden of taxation.” This question alone when properly con sidered, should control the whole mat ter. Every tax payer is equally interest ed. Just think of taking out of the pock ets of the tax-payers three or four hun dred thousand dollars removing and building anew capitol in Milledgeville. Every body who havs taken the trouble to go to Milledgeville, and seen the con dition of the old capitol building,knows that it would have to be torn down and rebuilt, when on the other hand the city authorities of Atlanta have proa pose in writing and bound themselves according to law, to build anew capital every way suitable to the demands of the people, without costing the tax-pay er “one cent.” Not only this but it is admitted by everybody,to be the great centre of raihoad communication.— Atlanta is to Georgia what the city of New York is to New York State Thu citizens of Atlanta did not bring the capital there but after it was located in their midst, they have spent millions of dollars in beautifying and adorning it by building up a great city around ii, and every Geoagiau should look upon it with piide aud admiration . 1 was veiy proud to see our worthy member of the late convention, Col J. C. lain, stands square on retrenchment and reform. lie voted not only to cut down 11 is ow i wages, but voted in favor of every bill introduced tending to re l:eve the heavy burden of taxation of the people which was finally passed, and wili become a law if the constitution is ratified,and I ieel that the people should show their high appreciation of his good works by sending him to the Sen ate. It is now for the tax payers to say whether they are willing to have their taxes increased in order to defray the expenses ot removing and building anew capilol costing not less than three hundred thousand dollars. I cannot think that the people will give their consent to this. Then l beg of you to como to the polls on day of election and vote for the capital to remain where it is. Tax Paver. The Results oTa, “Scrub Race,” Mr. Euiior: Asa citizen and a voter of Gordon county, and one who has the welfare of the people at heart, [ ask for space iu your paper (which is and ought to be tho political mirror of Gordon), for a few thoughts and sug gestions in regard to the campaign which has now fairly opened, for the election of members to our next Legis lature . Our n-w ccnstitvtion will no doubt be overwhelmingly alouted, It is un doubtedly the best constitution the peo ple of Georgia have ever had. Its provisions are, iu the main, wise and just; and when we select the members of our Legislature who are to enact laws in accordance with, and to carry out the provisions of that constitution, let us see that we select men who are known for their intelligence, honesty and integrity. With the lights now besore us, have we any assurance that a good and true man, and a white mm will be elected from Gordon? We have not. But, on the contrary, there is a chance, and. we might say, a strong probability, that our next reptesent!>- tive will be a negro. Now, ldo not mean (o cast any reflections on the many good men who are candidates f< r the place, foi they are good men, but with the number of candidate* now iu the field —nine white men—with the white vote anything like equally do vided, the cuuceuirated negro vote would easily elect auy one on whom it was cast; and we are re.iably informed that a move to that effect is now on foot, and that there is actually an gro candidate now in the field. Democrats, this danger threatens you ! Will you nut be warned in time, and resort to the only sure im ais we have of insuring ourselves an houest white Representative from Gordon ? Yes ; I have the confidence in the good people of Gordon County to believe that you will Then let us hold api is mary election, and thus see who is the people’s choice, before it is too late; and let him who refuses to consent to such electiou be the man who wi 1 be beaten. Remember, Democrats, that our sister county, Bartow, elected a white man over a negro by only nine majority. In the name of all you hold dear, never let this be the case in glo rious old Gordon. Democrat. The Season oi Intermittents. All miasmatic complaints, in other words, all disorders generated by un wholesome exhalations from the earth or water, are prevalent at this season. In every section subject to the visitation of fever and ague, or other forms of intermittent disease, the causes which produce these maladies are now active ly at work. This, therefore, is a period of the year when the inhabitants of such districts should prepare their sys tems to meet the unwholesome condition of the atmosphere by a course of tonic aud alterative treatment. Foremost among the invigorants. recommened by time and experience as a means of for® tifying the system against all endemic and epidemic maladies, stands Ilostet ter’s Stomach Bitters.

This is a compound remedy, prepared with scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such a remedy the necessities of the people in mala rious districts demand. Its great superiority over any other medicine yet discovered for the cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no qui nine or mineral, and those who take it arc free from danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and are as healthy after using it as before. - It has been extensively employed during tbo last thirty years in the treatment of these distressing disorders, and so unvarying has been its success that it has gained the reputation of being infal lible. It can, therefore, be safely recommended as a sure remedy and specific fot the Fever and Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of the South. It counteracts the miasmatic poison in the blood, and frees the system from its influ ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills, once broken up by it, do not return until tho disease is again contracted. The great variety of disorders which arise lYom the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Clout, Headache, Blindness, Toothache, Rarache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal pitation, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain in the Rowels, Colic, Paralysis, and dcrange of the Stomach, all of which become intermit tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than Ayer’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike, and protects the system from future attacks. As a preventive, it is cf immense service in those communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as it stays the development of the disease if taken on the first approach of the premonitory symp toms. Travellers and temporary residents are thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few will ever buffer if they avail themselves of the protection this remedy affords. For River Complaints, arising from torpidity, it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ into healthy activity, and produces many remark able cures where other medicines fail.
