GAINESVILLE Gazette: Hon. ". ]. Northen,
in his speech at Thomson last week, washed
out all false charges against him with

power in the Georgia press, and that power
has not been slow in expressing itself.

Hon. Ivy W. Duggan Of Hancock says to
the Sparta IshDldeLite: ~ have never be-
lieved that the lessees were entitled to pay
for betterments, and l have therefore
opposed every measure which, in my judg-
ment tended either directly or indirectly
to recognizing or paying such claimsl The
tenant who, under a long lease, digs UP
stumps, drains and enriches land, and
thereby makes fortune out Of his lease,
would not expect the landlord to pay him
for the labor done solely for the purpose of
increasing the crops"
Jonesboro NsDs. Gen. Lafayette McIaws
of Savannah was in Jonesboro last week
He had only short time to spend here, but
met many of the boys who carried the
muskets under him, and their greetings
were indeed interesting. Than Gen. McLaws
there is no Drawer man, and when he stops
in Jonesboro those that knew him in the
dark eos feel quickening of pulse and a
joy of heart that is nigh akin to the emotions
that prompted their desperate bravery on
the battle fields. Some of our most en-
thusiastic admirers of Gen. McLaws would
be glad to support him for governor.
GAINESVILLE Gazette: So far as we are
able to judge Hon. W. J. Northen is the
first choice. The situation is about this
way: With Livingston out of the race, Mr.,
Northen will receive the unanimous support
of Pike county; with Livingston in the
race, Mr.. Northen will receive the support
of all outside the alliance and decided
majority in the alliance. Alliancemen
with whom we have talked do not want
Livingston to enter the race. County
politics will be lively. Those suggested
already for representatives are j. P.
Mclean, Maj. John 4. Hunt, Judge T. j.
Barrett, Capt. j. H Mitchell and DR.. B. n
Owen.
Barnesvllle Gazette, By ballot the people
of Georgia have not selected their next gov
ernmenS of this state, but through the col
umns of the weekly press, through the
daily papers, and in many other unmis.
taxable ways, they have selected their
choice; that choice has become known to
every class of our people, and that choice is
none other than the Hon. W. j. Northen of
Sparta. This assertion is too plainly true
TO be denied by any one who knows any
thing whatever of the situation. The peo-
pie know the man, they know his position
on all public questions, and they have de-
hberately made up their minds. There can
be no mistake about this. Mr.. Northen is
the peoples choice.
