From the BArnesville Gazette.
The se ate in its wisdom choose CO.
lionel Boynton to meet the emergency
produced by the death of the governor

section is decide lily in favor of his fll-
ing the unexpired term of Governor
Stephens.
From the Cuthbert Enterprise.
1t is a fortunate thing that the state
has legal successor to Mr. Stephens
81 true and able a man as Colonel j. S.
BOynton, who, bV reason Of his Office as
president of the senate, becomes gov
ernor, He will perform his duty fall
Iy and faithfully.
We see 40 reason why be should
not be nominated By the convention
soon to meet, anG elected BY the peo
pie on the 24th of April.
Colonel Boynton is a man Of fine
abi ity, large legal atiainments. and
best Of all, OF incorruntibIe integrity.
He 10 not professional politician,
whose n me has been before the people
until they have sickened of it. He is
no chronic Office seeker, but q clean
honest, decent, upright Christian gen
tleman, with a degree of ability which
would make governor Of whom the
great state of Georgia would be proud
Let him be nominated aud elected.
CAVE SPRIVG, March $50 far
there has been no expression heard
from the people as to who shoold be
the successor of Governor Stephens,
and if the Law would permit il, there
is no doubt they would be satisfied
with the present governor, Boynton,
remaining in Office for this term, as an
election is more dreaded than desired.
In fact, at this season OF the year, the
farmers will take very Iittla Interest in
sn election. AN excited confest is
much to be deprecated. The present
feeling is to let very well alone.
Bainbridge Democrat.
Governor Boynton was born in Hen
ry county, on the 7th of May, 1888.
