Time by tho F0relock.

Among the visitors this week to the
SENTINEL sanctum, none was more
cordially welcomed than the whole
souled, pleasant and philosophical DR..
j. L. johnson, of Duck Hill. AS usual,
he was overhowing with good nature
and spirits. We are always glad to
clasp his hand. While discussing the
political situation he stated that he
was besieged with letters from ali
corners OF the State, urging him to
become candidate for the office OF
Governor. He, however, would at
this time decline the use OF his name,
because he certainly would be nomina-
ted and elected, and from a good feel
ing for the other fellows he wouldn't
thwart their ambition. But he gives
timely warning to all cor cerned, that
they must satisfy their ambition at the
present juncture, and get all the glory
they can. for at the succeeding election
he wanted clear field for himself.
He proclaimed his candidacy ahead Of
all intended rivals, and would assert
his claim with all the energy and vigor
with which he is sur charged.
