Mr.. sturoIs' Defamation.

by reference to o card elsewhere in
this mornings LEADER, it will be seen
that Mr.. Thomas Sturgis, nominated
on Monday by the republican conven-
tion, for county commissioner, has with
drawn his name from the ticket. The
reason fol. such course on his part is
stated in his card In common with
many other citizens we deeply regret
that Mr.. Sturgis finds it incompatible
with his private interests to accept the
nomination and consequent election.
He eiszknown as one Of our most intel
ligent and enterprising citizens, and one
who would well and faithfully serve the
best interests Of the people. We re-
peat. that his refusal to allow the use
Of his name is to be regretted. Z
1t now becomes the duty of the re-
publican county committee to fill the
vacancy occasioned by his resignation,
which We trust will be done at an early
day.

To the Editor of The Leader:
DEAR SR:-I noticed in your issue
this morning that the Republican coun-
ty convention had nominated me for a
position upon the board of commits
sioners. Will you oblige me by stating
that I appreciate the compliment, but
that business engagements will not per-
NIT me to serve. 7sl
Very truly yours,

a He.i,h. pestroying yapor.

Is generated by the action Of the SUMS rays
upon damp decaying vegetation, ~stagnant
pools. and marshy. low laying tracts. The
true nature Of this miasma is by no means
clearly understood, but there are two facts in
relation to II that are. The nrst Is. that the
periodical fevers which It breeds are OF the
virulent type; the second is, that these
maladies are rarely cured. although they
may be ameiiorated, by the ordinary RENE
dies employed to overcome them. The true
antidote to the effects OF miasma Is Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. This medicine is one
o fthe most popular remedies ofnn age ofsuc-
cessful proprietary specifics, and is In I'm
mense demand wherever on this continent
fever and ague exists. A ~wine-glassful three
times a day is the best possible preparatlve
for encountering a malarious atmosphere,
regulating the liver. and invigorating the
stomach. o7toi4

J.. w. Shaeffer & Co., tobacconists,
1923 Sacramento street, San Francisco,
have the following of vital Importance
to say:
At q large expense we have purchas-
ed from Professor Hartwig, formerly
Of Guys hospital in London, the se-
cret Of practically extracting the great
est part of the nicotin from tobacco,
thereby preventing the pernicious eff
fects arising from the constant use Of
the weed. Our new cigar, "Bon Ton,"
is made from Havana tobacco, from
which we have extracted nearly all the
poisonous principle, but left the resin
GUS matter, which imparts to the cigar
u fine aromatic flavor. Every smoker,
at times, has said, upon being offered a
cigar mo, ! have smoked enoughl"
Under such conditions he instinctively
feels that he is under the influence Of
the nicotin, which his system has alb
sorbed, and is exerting its deleterious
effects by disturbing the functions Of
his brain. No such truly alarming
consequences will result from smoking
our "Bon Ton" cigar, because the dan
gerous poison of the nicotin is gone,
and its exquisite qualities alone remain
to crafty the senses of smell and taste.
1t will be astonishing to consumers,
that the smoking of u bon Ton"
cigars causes no desire to expectorate,
produces nj dryness Of the palate, no
throbbing of the temples, and does not
destroy the appetite for food. If smok-
ing is INDUCED in at all, why not smoke
a bon Ton" instead Of unknown
brands, which may contain the worst
of goods, and hurtful to the system,
upon which nicotin makes truly fearful,
if the lungs are not powerful enough to
throw off the noxious poisonp
The tobacco trade carried on in San
Francisco forms one of its most active
and prominent interests, and, for q
matter which may fairly be considered
n of luxury rather than of necessity,
it covers an astonishing extent of COM
mercial area, and finds patronage in a
large proportion of every class in San
Francisco society. The leading tobac-
conists to- day in the city of the Golden
Gate are the Messrs. j. W. Shaeffer &
Co., patentees of the celebrated Screen
Seal" cigars, as well as other import
ant facilities for catering to the wants
Of the public in their line. ~
They take pleasure in announcing
that they have appointed as their sole
agent for Wyoming, se

LETTER FROM SANDERSvILLE. ~
SANDERsyILLE. ,July IL.

Sandersvile is situated in the southeastern
part Of Bullock's Creek township, Immediate
ly OH the Chester and Rutherford road, near
the county line of York and Chester seven :
teen miles south of Yorkville, and eleven
miles northwest Of Chester.
We haven't much to boast of in the way
of fine buildings and public institutions !;
neither does your correspondent claim that
Sandersville is town; yet We have about
$50 inhabitants within radius of mile.

Creek (from its peculiar location, being i'm.
mediately between the north and south prong
of S-siebole creek) where the word is preach

As to our steam power, we have only one
portable engine, which does the ginning and

dius 1 speak Of, there are four persons the to-

We have no officers among US, neither mu.
nicipal, county, State or United States. Not
even postmaster, though we sorely need one,
as the post route is open to Sandersville. As
it now is, some persons have to 90 to McCon-
nellsville for their mail.
The citizens are so law.abidiug that they
