r. G. Wilcox, of this city, is cam
didate for postmaster of GAINESVILLE
at the expiration of Mrs. johnsOn's
term, which occurs next fall. He is
a candidate at the solicitation of
number of business men, who desire,
if the postOfice should pass out of
Mrs. JohnsOn's hands, that it be in
the hands of a practical business man
whose past course gives promise that
it will be well conducted. 1t is UNI
necessary for this paper to state that
Mrs. JohnsOn's removal is by no
means desired, but if change Is
made because of political reasons,
then il is desired that Mr.. Wilcox be
given the place. He.has been resi-
dent of the city for quite number
of years, being first engaged as tick
ct agent for the l.. & N, and later on
as book-keeper for the Central Ware
house, which position he now holds.
Both positions have been responsible,
and required business talent of a high
order to fill them, and this Mr.. Will
cox has done successfully. If a
change is made this paper knows oil
no one in the ranks of the Republic
can party who would be more accept
able to the county. Mr.. Wilcox 4
petition says:
Mrs. Mary B. johnson is at present
postmistress here and has given en-
tire and general satisfaction to all our
people, and there is no opposition tC
her retaining the position, and in
fact the people very much favor hei
appointment to succeed herself as
pOstmistress. But while the citizens
of GAINESVILLE hope to see Mrs. John
son succeed herself, they are anxious,
in the event of her removal to OBJ
tain a good officer and one that will
be acceptable to the people. And
therefore, while not desiring to be
considered as withdrawing their sup
port from Mrs. johnson for reap
pointment, a thing which they would
under no circumstances do, the un'
derslgned desire to state to your Elk
celIency that in the event you do not
feel disposed to re appoint Mrs
Johnson to said Office, that we dc
hereby recommend r. G. Wilcox as
worthy man and a Republican and
entirely competent to fill the position
of postmaster al this place.

In Memory Of Katie Station.

On June %, 1890, the lovely and
gentle spirit of Katie Station left its
earthly tenement Of clay for its
beautiful and peaceful home of eter-
nal rest, within the immortal
realms of the spirit land.
She was the only and much be-
loved daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles w. Station, and was born in
Montgomery county, Tennessee, on
February 26, 1874, therefore being
about is years of age.
In the early bloom of sweet
young maidenhood, blessed by many
loving friends, with prospects of a
long earthly life of happiness, this
bright and beautiful maiden has
gone back to her home with God.
And whilst loving friends mourn
in sorrow her loss to earth, joy and
gladness reign above, as another
pure and gentle spirit enters its
bright and happy home within those
fair and beautiful realms of immor-
tality.
A few days previous to her becom-
ing seriously i'll, she wrote the fol-
lowing lines, with view of having
them used in connection with an
obituary of her brother, who only a
short while preceded her to the I'M
known realms of eternal life.
"Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are DER,
On the border land we left him,
Soon to meet, and part no more.
Far beyond this world OF changes,
Far beyond this world of care,
We shall find our missing loved one,
In our Fathers mansions fatr'
Thus, through the foregoing lines,
only few days before her death,
she gave evidence of her faith in the
promises of the Father, as regards
Immortality, and a home for those
who believe and love him, within
his holy mansion fair.
Within these "mansiOns fair"
beyond the bright armament above,
another star appears, whose pure
and beautiful light should ever be
beacon of faith to those loved ones
who now mourn its loss to earth, as
they permit its calm and holy rays
to guide them in such paths of faith
and love, as will lead them to re-
union where parting will be no more
forever within the Fathers home
amid the bright and beautiful
realms of heven.
Then why call back from peaceful rest,
The free from sin and earthly care,
For none on earth can be so blessed,
AS jewellers in those holy mansions fair.
A FRIEND.

How about the present planting?
That is what you want TO know.
Well, now you can just put it down
in your memorandum book that the
present planting is not over 20 per
cent. of last years crop, or not ex-
ceeding a half of an average crop.
The season is now past and no man
will be silly enough to plant tobac-
co after the 4th of July, expecting
any profit, especially this hot sum-
mer. The plants are burnt up and
worthless, and tobacco set this hot
weather would not make enough to
pay for the sweat wasted, much less
the back aches and high strides one
must take on. So it would be love,
labor and time lost. Farmers are
discouraged in the business Sambo
can't earn his shoes raising Tugs at
50 90 per hundred, and it is better to
go blackberrying in the summer and
dig ginseng in the winter and spring
and drink "sassafack" tea. So they
have not tried to plant a full crop.
Moreover the Burley has encrOached
largely on the dark district and we
predict that this will be the shortest
dark crop raised since 1874, and mind
you, it has got to run the gauntlet of
the worms. Tend the plant every
morning. Boys, keep the worms off
and make it good and $40 to $15 will
be the opening prices next fall.
