guished Georgian and sterling democrat
without a prefix, as our readers all
know, is candidate for commissioner
Of agriculture of this state, subject to
the democratic primary election of the

present commissioner, Col mel Nesbitt,
is also a candidate for reelection Good
man he is. and has made a faithful and
efficient officer. But he has had the Of
flee three terms--as | ng as he wants it
If we are t give credence to his cam
paign utteraDces when he set out 70 beat
your uncle Dan Henderson some years
ago. His campaign thunder at that
time was that "OlG Dan had had the job
long enough, and that if he were elected
two terms would be all that he would
want" MIR. stevens, fully approaching
this statement Of the present incumbent,
made bold to "shie his castor into the
ring" or words TO that effect; and his
announcement met with a hearty APP
prevail thr ughout the state, especially
in the southwestern section OF ithe com
monwealth, where he Is best known.
From the Telfair Enterprise.
Hon. O. B. Stevens, candidate for the
democratic nomination for commissioner
of agricul ture, paid our town a short Wis
it Friday last in the interest of his can
ddacy. He met many of our citizens
whom he found in hearty sympathy with
him in his race for the nomination. He
made a fine impression on our people.
He carries the imprint If honesty and
g ri in / q * M
itician, in the common acceptation of the
word, but he is blessed with that mag

wherever he comes in contact with stran-
gers. He is the man of the hour for COM
