everybody has felt was almost inevita-

tary that the agitation was telling upon
him, and that parsonage reminded him
Of his strong constitution. which he de-
clared would enable him to see the crisis

THE GOVERNORS APPETITE
He Can Eat With Impunty Any
 thing Set Before Him.

Georgia's chief executive has many good qualities, and in addi- tion to his super robust constitu- ton, the Governor also possesses what is coveted by many unfortu- nates-he has good appetite. Like any ordinary mortal, howev- CT, he once suffered from indiges- ton, with all the distressing condi- tions which it produces. But he has found an unfailing remedy, however, and said recently:
 For many years my indigestion was bad, but the occasional use of $. $. $. has entirely cured me of this malady, and l now eat witt perfect impunity anything set be fore me.
 Gov. Candler has also declared ;. $. $. to be the finest tonic ane blood purifier made. He has used it every spring for the past fifteen years.

The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1899-03-16

Mr. Dealey's prompt and manly dis
claimer Of any purpose 10 contest the
result Of the late school election was
hardly necessary to settle that baseless
rumor. Mr.. Dealey is not built that way.
At the solicitation Of many friends he
made fair and gallant fight for election.
He was defeated by a narrow margin,
but, like the true old soldier that he is,
he was among the first to congratulate
his adversary and would be among the
last to dispute his enjoyment Of the fruits
OF his victory. Considering the popular
ity and influences favoring Mr. Kendall
Mr.. Dealey has no cause to feel sore or
humlHated over the termination Of the
battle and II ne did so feel his dignity
and training in the school Of experience
would restrain him from exhibiting it.
But, as matter of fact. there is rea-
son TO believe Mr.. Dealy does not feel the
slightest chagrn over a defeat which
was within a scratch of victory. He
may have believed he had many friends
in Astoria before he ran for school
director, but now he knows it. And the
number Of these friends is not likely to
be lessened by the decisive method he
adopts to quiet any apprehension which
