THE ONE-ARMED HERO.
JUDGE g. n TESTERS CANDIDACY.

4 There may be people who will cease to
care for and esteem the old battle>scarred
seterans Of the Confederacy, but the edi
itors Of the Marietta Journal are not among
them. As Judge Lester is one of these
old soldiers, and is the peer of his oppo>
nenf intellectually and morally, we are for
him for Attorney General. We are glad
to see the Carrollton Free Press, Sums
merville News, and other papers are for
him. The Alliance of this county endorse
and recommend him. Here is what some
I of the newspapers say:
Judge Lester is a candidate for Attorney
General OF the State of Georgia. And
while we have no i'll will for the present
incumbent, We think Judge Lester ought
to have the position he seeks. He has done
as much as any man in the State fol the
Democratic party. He lost his arIu fight
ing for the South, he has devoted his life to
Georgia interest, he is lawyer of &C.
knowledged ability a christian gentleman
and man full worthy of the support he
seeks, and no one doubts his fitness for the
Office, When we take all this into consid
Grafton we say in all candor that we think
Judge Testers claims should be noticed
and his election sure. Col Anderson has
made US good officer. He has held the
office twelve years ; now we will give him
credit for his interest in our welfare But
has he not been in this position long
enough? He does not need the office. He
is not armed soldier. But Judge
Lester does and for our part we think it the
duty Of this grand old State to elect G. N.
Lester Attorney General As for us, we
are for him-Blue Ridge Post
Judge George N. Lester is a candidate
for Attorney-General and every man in
Georgia should vote for him, not that the
present incumbent is inefficient, but be
cause Judge Lester needs the Office and is
eminentlv qualified to fill it. Particularly
should North Georgia vote for him and we
do hope every county will send delegates
to the convention instructed to vote and
work for his election He is an able law>
yer and jurist, Democrat of "purest raw
serene" aud q gentleman in every way
qualified. Let US vote for and elect this
one-armed hero.-Cnnton Advance.

and worthy mar and his claims deserve
consideration. -Millrdgeville Recorder.

the support OF the old one armed Confed>

we owe to comrade who is qualified and
has such demands upon the people for his
service as soldier and Democrat, tina
