In regard to the senatorial contest
in this State, the Macon (Ga.) Tele-
graph says:
Whatever infirmities of temper
may be ascribed TO Mr.. johnson, he
is an honest and incorruptible states
mana clear and powerful exponent
of constitutional liberty-a bold and
intrepid advocate Of law, order and
official responsibility, and he will
find few or no compeers In the Senate

Intellectual ability, experience and

suffered from the pernicious effects of
remedies, taken for the cure of Chills and
Fever, and other kindred diseases, incl
dent to malarious climate, that have
been found on analysis to contain Arsenic,
or Strychnine, i'm their combination, and
are very properly suspicious of all RENE
dies put up under private formula, the
proprietors of DIR. HurIey's Ague
Tonic, to give ample assurance to the
thousands who are using that infallible
cure, that 1t at least contains no poison,
and is perfectly harmless, win give the
above reward to any or every one who will
analyse and discover single grain of
poison in said Tonic. We are glad to be
able to say that all the remedies advertised
in JAMES RyDELE & COS column are
equally deserving Of the entire confidence
of the public.

THE Nashville Banner is giving
short biographical sketches OF the
members of the Legislature. The
following is in reference to our worthy
representatives:
j. G. Hornberger was born on the
18th day of October, 1919, in Stewart
County. His parents were of the
highest respectability and moral
worth. He was placed at School ear
ly i'm life, with the view of educating
him for physician. On arriving at
the age at which young men general
ly determine their future career he
changed the course marked out by
his father (who had previously died),
and removed to GAINESVILLE In 1897
In 1910 he commenced reading law,
and in 1912 was admitted to the bar.
Mr., Hornberger espoused the Wing
cause early in life, casting his first
vote In 1910 for General Harrison
He also supported Mr.. Clay in 1874,
and the vote thus east he styles the
"proudest of his life." He voted for
every Wing candidate from 1910 to
1860. His last Wing vote was for the
late Hon. John Bell. In 1851 he ran
against Isham G.. Harris for Con-
gress, but was beaten. This canvass,
he states, was made net so much with
the expectation of being elected as to
educate himself In public speaking
and give that confidence which he
knew was needed in the practice of
his profession. Mr.. Hornberger is a
prominent member of the Presbyte-
rian Church at Clarksville, near
which city he resides. He IL a rela-
tive by marriage of the Hon. Jos. r.,
Underwood, of Kentucky, formerly
n Senator i'm Congress from that
State. He Is also n descendant of
Colonel Burton, an officerof the Rev
olution, who was a Virginian by
birth. He has devoted himself en-
with Harris in 1851, until two days
before the recent election, when,
without his consent, he was placed i'm
the field as candidate for Represen-
.ative, and triumphantly elected
He is man Of fine personnel and Dig
nifled His recognized capacity and
incorruptible integrity Well fit him
for the responsible position TO which
he has been called.
John :. Hart was born in Robert
SON county in 1917, where he has resi-
ded ever since, except from 1912 to
1857 he resided In Clarksville, Tennes-
see. He was brought up on farm,
but In 1896 commenced merchandise
ing, which he has followed eversince.
He is now residing on farm near by.
and merchandising la Springfioid.-.
lie acted with the Democratic party
before the war and since has acted with
the Conservative party. He is not a
mere professional politician and
ofiice-seeker, but high toned, honor
able gentleman, and greatly esteemed
by his constituents,

Wednesday morning, the first day
of the Fairrtwas q bright, lovely Oc-
tober day., well suited IN every par
ticular for a large turnout and enjoy
ment. As usual, the. first day, there
was not a very large crowd on the
grounds, but those present appeared
to enjoy themselves to the full extent.
The display of fruits, wines, en-
broijery, quilts, and ladies work gen.
orally, was the best ever exhibited
ut our FaiI~-the fruit being worthy
of particular mention.
The model cottage, by Mrs. VAL
liant, was admired and commented
upon by all the ladies. The citron,
made by Mrs. Judge King, attracted
much attention, and was a gem in
that line. The sweet pickle, by Mrs.
Hatcher, was. elegant. Farm pro-
ducts We're well represented. A ba-
rouche, by Baker & Bro, of this city,
and a buggy, by Mr.. Baker, of Hop
kinsville, created a sensation, and
were pronounced, by all who saw
them, equal to any ever exhibited.

Postage.
factsIsost

Sthing makes one 80 impatient of the slow
hunbuggery that i now connected with almost
all international dealings than the uncertain and
infinitely varied amounts of postage to different
countries. England, France and the United
States are now the principal carriers of the mails
throughout the world, by means of the lines of
steamers that connect all important ports and
cities. Why cannot these nations agree upon a
universal rate of international postage? This
might be the American dime, the French half
franc, and the English s~iXpence, all which coins
will probably soon be reduced TO a common weight
and value-this postage to be prepaid in one
stamp in each country where letters are posted.
Such II postal Treaty, accomplished by convention,
would be a triumph of diplomacy and civilization.
The present rate of fifteen cents to san Fran
cisco Is burdensOne, and n severe tax ON our
communication with our nearest neighbor. 1t
seems especially 80 when we remember that three
cents viii carry u letter from San Francisco to
