CHOLERA.

In the southern part of Japan chol-
era has already made sad ravages in
the provinces. From the statistics
to hand, the epidemic is making rap
id progress and is of very virulent
nature. 1t is satisfactory that this
scourge does not attack foreigners or
rarely works havoc among them.
Even among the Japanese it is prin-
cipally the lower orders that have
their ranks thinned, The japanese
authorities have established quaran-
tine stations at many of the sea-ports
and some towns and villages, that
have shown a very rapid development

A night clerk in the Brooklyn, N.
T., post office was arrested the other
day under the charge of stealing
money from letters, lie was living
rather high on salary of 5000 year,
and the complaints of the loss of
money became % frequent that he
was suspected. Inspector Dosser, of
Georgia, was sent to work up the
case, and in a few days he had proof
positive that the clerk. Harris, was
the guilty party. Decoy letters were
used with speedy effect in trapping
the thief.

THE CAMPAIGN.

Saturday was field day for Gen
eral Gordon. Eighteen counties ac-
ted and if their verdict means any
thing, it is that General Gordon is
their choice for Governor. If they
wanted Bacon, they would have
said so by electing Bacon delegates.
Then why should the Bacon newspa-
pers get frantic, pull their hair, and
tear their shirts, because Mr.. Bacon
is not preferred to Gen. Gordon
Surely the popular will, the MAORI
ty vote, should rule, and it seems to
us the Bacon organs should have the
good sense to see the hand writing on
the wall and gracefully acquiesce in
the result, and not show their disap-
pointment in such ugly language and
bad temper. 1t is just as easy for
the people to declare for Bacon as
Gordon if they wanted him, but they
don't seem to want him, and this fact
is patent to all.
Out of the eighteen counties that
acted Saturday, Gordon secured Al
delegates to Bacon's 4. The IL coun-
ties that went for Gordon are Whit
field, Pierce, Lincoln, Troup, Harris,
Hall, Dade, Lowndes, Pike, Terrell,
Glynn, Meriwether, Taylor, Baker,
Coweta and Miller; and the counties
that went for Bacon are Chattooga
and Webster. The vote stands as
follows: Gordon ia delegates, Ba.
con 60 and Jones 6.

NO DARK HORSE.

The Darien Gazette says there are
several Darienites who would be
"tickled almost to death" if the Hon.
Rufus L. Lester, of Savannah, should
turn out to be the clark horse" in
the Gubernatorial race.
From Mayor to Governor, from
Governor to President. That's the
road Cleveland travelled from Bufa-
10 to the White House. We doubt
if there be a man in Georgia who
would begrudge any honor Sayan-
nah's gallant son may aspire to. But
Col. Lester is in no manner a clark
horse" lie has lived all his life in
the open day, above board, known to
every body. There is very little Sc
oretiveness about Savannah man.
The young and popular mayor of the
principle city of the State may in
due course be called upon to fill a
high position. We are all agreeable
up here. We know Of another mayor
of another proud city who might be
induced to accept the goyernorship,
But Gordon is in the field and that
spoils all the rhetoric We have adorn-
ed this article with.

The history Of John Lannon of Al
exandria, Va, who recently died, is
worth repeating. He came from Ire
land with his mnther when child,
and early had to work for living.
He got place in the store OF Joseph
Broders, who, when the Federal
troops occupied Alexandra in 1861,
ran away, leaving young Lannon,
then Is years old, in charge. Bro
ders hoped that the boy would sell
the goods in stock and make an hon
est return of the proceeds he was
therefore much surprised when he
returned at the end Of three years to
find that John had increased the
business, had on hand larger stock
of goods than when Broders ran
away, and had made $4,000, which
he had in bank. The merchant gave
young Lannon half of the money and
took him into partnership, and before
he died John had accumulated $780,.
600, built the Opera House at Alex
andria, and the largest wharf there,
and was one of the most respected
citizens of the town.

BACON AND GORDON.

Oh! noble, scar-faced, Bacon,
In war or peace mistaken,
True and steadfast,
Long tried soldier,
Faithful to the end;
How compare you,
With the untrue,
Liver weak, bilious Gordon,
Who, burnt powder smell,
Or the cannon to hear,
Made him skip so quickly
To place of safety,
Where in bomb-proof, safe
With his gall undisturbed
So tar as he could, his people he served.
None question his brains
Which so well serve his ends,
Such as r. r. attorney,
And taking their money
But his internal contraptions,
And Internal weak stomach;
Taken, mixed with affiliations,
Such as r. r. combinations,
And promises without number.
All ! lack-a-day.
For the people any way,
If he should be their Governor.
No! Let him alone.
Why, what has he done,
Or, why does he deserve
His people to serve
In place of honor
As old Georgia's Governor?
p. SIN labor of love,
would not mislead,
There's mistake in above.
SO all please give heed,
Where you see Bacon,
Please read j. d. Gordon.
So now with will,
Let every friend work.
The work is half done,
But victory's not won
Till the Cordons complete
For Gordon, this week
Then, Bacon who's worked
Many years for himself
May "Requiescat in pace"
Upon some back shelf. b.
