or the purpose of nominating candidate for Gov
ernor to be supported at the September election,
and two candidates for Electors of President and
Vice President of the United States and to trans
act any other business that may properly come be-
fore the Convention.
The basis of representation will be as follows:
Each eth, town and plantation will be entitled to
delegate, and for every seventy-ive votes cast
for the Republican candidate for Governor in 1879
an additional delegate and fraction of forty votes
in of seventy five will be accorded delegate.
The State Committee will be in session in the
ante-room of the Hall at o'clock, on the morning
delegates.
For the first time in the history of Maine the at
tempt was made in 1879 to deprive the people of
the right to choose their own officers, and to cor
ruptly continue in power those whom the people
had rejected. The authors, abettors and accom-
plices in this crime against free government are
now seeking to come before the people under some
new party name-availing themselves of an alias,
the common resort of those who seek to escape the
responsibility and punishment of their crimes.
Against these men, under whatever name they
may appear, all those citizens who condemn the
nefarous plot to destroy the right of suffrage, are
invited to unite. without regard to past party ali
atons to preserve honest Government for the hon :
est people of Maine.

When he told his love her bright blue eyes
Looked up in calm but glad surprise,
And down in the depths Of their azure blue
He read his answer sweet and true
eve draw the curtain here
And she being girl of very fine sense,
Told him plainly she meant no oilense,
But if in the event his purse was weak
He had better buy his goods of A. \ Leake.
And she was right, for where in the whole
city can you find better assortment of goods
and at such low prices? They will not,
they cannot he undersold and they keep
none but first class goods. If your pocket
book is weak and sickly go to the Poets
Store, and you will find that small amount
Of money will get you a large amount Of
goods and no mistake, A. Y. Leake u Co,

to all young men that marry during the
year $780, provided they are citizens of Ma
rietta. This offer open to all competitors.
Now is your time. In this connection they
beg to say that their Junior is ready and
willing, but is very dittident Can't some

R. A. aEMPH1LL,
1n2 Peaohtree Street.


We direct special attention 10 the advertise
meut OF THE stirring young business man.
which will be found elsewhere in this ISSUE
He has been actively enga5ed in the grocery
trade at I02 Peachtree street for the past five
years. During that time he has built up.a
splendid business. and stands today iii the front
rank of grocrrs in jhie city. Mr.. lie nphil. has
won his present position by close attention TO
business, fair dealing and Uniform courtesy
In add ton 10 this, be has always kept on hand
a large and we'll selected stock Of the best gro
cere-. He conducts his large and growing
business on a strictly solid basis, being a qaie',
earnest unlirng worker, who never allows an
opportunity to accommodate his patrons to pass
unimprOved.
Ii is not surprising, therefore, that his store
has become one OF the most peculiar resorts in
thu city. The heavy patronage which ne daily
receives is tn natural out come fhis legitimate
methods and the ust reward of his honest eff
forts to win the approval OF the public.
We congratulate him upon his deserved pros
perity and take great pleasure in recommend
ing his solid establishment to all who wish 10
buy first class groceries on reasonable terms,
As an evidence Of the rapid increase Of Mr..
Hempbill's business, we refer to the fact that
Turing the year Just past he has kept Two de
livery Wagons III supplying '"e wants VI "'7
numerous patrons. This new feature enables
him 10 fill al orders with even greater prompli-
tude than before, and is certainly worthy the
attention of buyers wishing articles delivered
on the sh PRIEST notice.
Mr. Hemphil keeps two excellent brands OF
flour-the ''Gale City" brand, which is fancy
family -four, one of the best in this market, and
the Georgia Flour" a patent process, purely
fancy and snow white. Both of these brands
certainly deserve great popularity, and Mr..
Hemphill is able to furnish large quantities to
the trade. Both brands are guaranteed. We
wish Mr.. HemphilI the highest success in his
business, and his energy aud worth certainly
entitle him 10 future 1Iled with prosperity.
He refers, by permission, to Mr.. John II.

The Dallas Hanging.

EDS. JoURNAL.-By eleven o'clock last
Friday the Goth ult., there was some three
thousand people assembled at Dallas to wit
ness the execution of George Jackson, col
ored, for the murder of Jack Moss, colored.
Jackson spent the morning in singing and
talking. His songs were of the Sunday
School variety He marched from the
the jail at 90 minutes past ten o'clock with
perfect composure, talking and laughing.
When he reached the gallows, Rev. Colston
read the 35th chapter of Numbers, and
made some appropriate remarks in regard to
capital punishment. He was followed by
Rev. Rucker, Jr, colored, singing and
PRAYER Jackson in his dying speech &C
kn0wledged to the killing Of Moss, that
he had won his money at cards and he re-.
fused to give it up and showed fight, that
he did it rather than run, but admonished
all the living that there was more honor in
running than dying on the gallows. lie
dwelt at considerable length in advising the
young against gambling and keeping bad
company He accused several parties
of swearing falsely against him. On the
scaff'old he laughed and talked, trimmed his
finger nails, and seemed perfectly composed
He also stated that he had previously made
a contract with a certain Doctor to have his
body for dissccting purposes, but said the
doctor bad. mot complied with the contract,
and he desired therefore that his parents
should have his body and give it decent
burial Sheriff Braswell had everything
arranged and performed his unpleasant du.
tyrWell jackson had the triggers knocked
from under him at 20 minutes past twelve.
The fall was about four feet, and he died
without struggle in about ten minutes,
his neck having been broken. After hang
ing about thirty minutes his body was cut
down and turned over to his parents for
burial. F. NICE.
