Wits Of several prominent physicians who
attended The Georgia Medical association
at Americas. DR.. Elliott, of Savannah,
is the newly elected president Of the as

and DR.. Engrarl, Of Montezuma, is vice
president DR.. Willis Westmoreland is
the son .of the celebrated doctor Of the
same name lately deceased, and is,a pro-
lessor in one of the medical college of
Atlanta. The attorneys for the Drs.
Hinkle believe that no stronger showing
for bail could be presented than that set
up by these affidayits, from which it
seems that the senior Dr. Hinkle is suf-
firing with Bright's disease and the
younger one with consumption. tits

Washington, May T. AT last the signs
point to the removal of Marshal Buck,
Of Georgia. No man outside of the in
ner swim can get at the true facts, but
the sudden reappearance of Col. Pod
Dismuke in Washington means a great
deal, although the surface indications
do not pan out very satisfactorily. 1t
can be safely surmised that the Hon.
Dsmuke win succeed the colonel from

be stated by way of codicil that Gel.
Dismuke has made a heroic effort to
preserve an incog, but the newspapers

Patterson for Governor.
The latest Georgia aspirant is Dr.. Obe-
diah C. Gibson Of the county of Jones,
who wants Secretary Hoke Smith to give
him place as an lEdian inspector worth
50, 900 per annum. The doctor is a
Cleveland Democrat from brisket to
backbone. He it was who suggested
that Constitution reporter be thrown
from the top story of the Kimb}ll house
during a Cleveland caucus of tbs Sixth
district delegates at the state convention
in Atlanta last year.
The doctor says that Hon Steve Clay
is a good fellow, Hon. Bill Atkinson
is equally deserving, but the man for gu
bernato ,ial honors in Georgia is Hon. r.
w. Patterson, of Ma con, and for the Sen
ate in 1894 Secretary Hoke Smith, he
declares, has by all odds the inside of
the course. DR.. Gibson is is ahandsome
young man, and is as full of vitality as a

is that Meyers took the stranger to the

him and he shot both. At first it was sup

were the guilty parties, and 'Burly'
