 The Citizen Examinsr which was so ably edited by the late w. M. Garrett, Jf., is In the hands of Mrs. w. NJ. Garrett, Jf.s and is absolutely managed by her without any assistance except a little ap- prentice ramed Lewis Stoudemire, who, by the way, though he has been in of nee only two weeks, says that he will be | editor Of one Of the great dailies of New York, Birmingham or Montgomery. Mrs. Garrett is publishing good paper and ere long the Citizen Examiner will be one Of the foremost weekli5s in the state. IT he paper, of course, is strictly demo- cratic on basis of 16 to l. Your core spondent, however, thinks a smaller basis would be better all round. | rct5ft te - Meea hsf-ff'@ aecaI1na pd by his family leaves this wesk for Nash fF4ile tota4.e in the eTpos2s4on On theIr

At some future day will serd you the names of the candida ,es here for the various offices and their biography. Ths lives of some of these candidates are very interesting reading, for We have some who never held of flee.
 The most important of the offices to be filled a1.ss- .ssflo doubt members of the gen. eral assembly, and Lowndes will have two able ones. Captain c. P. Rogers will be renominated without opposition, ard Ehes other member will likely be Colonel Devon K. Middleton.

 F. Chancellor Jere Williams was on hand ready to attend the wants of the attor- neys. He has lately rendered two inn portant decisions, ard th- docket is very ilght. The chancery court is somewhat or an easy, go-ahead court and busi- ness cannot be dspatched in that court Wbth as much rapidity as in other courts
 Should Chancellor Williams wish to succeed himself, Lowndes will certainly remeJnb q chirn.

 The crops in Lowndes while spotted Tn places, are very good average, eX- cept the corn crop. which is not v=ry good, but the late corn is coming right along and the late rains have done fine ly for both cotton ond late corn. Next year the farmers will plant a great deal of oats and thus fi1l out the vacant spot in the comcrib.
 Nearly every farmer will have let's of !, hogs to kill. and with corn, oats and meat there is no danger of a famine in Lowndes county except it is brought on by the politicians.
 It is rumored that applicat ation will soon be made to the proper authorities to or ganize cavalry company here. We have already an infantry company and thus Lowndes will have a fine military turnout at the next encampment or help to drive the Japanese army out. We are not uneasy here about war here unless it be war with the cotton worms, which we trust will not be forthcoming.
 The merchants of this county are buy ing a large fall stock an indication that they expect fairly good crop.
 Our circuit court will meet on the 18th day of August. The civil docket is very light and the criminal and civil dockets will be disposed of in two weeks. Law iessness lis. en the decrease, there being only five prisoners in jail and part of this year there were not that many. In fact there have not been executed within the last two months ten warrants from all tho courts, including the justice court.
