he is nominated for president, we will vote for
him as we have in the past.

Hoke Smith and Ralph Smith carried Irwin
county yesterday. That is, they carried all OF
it that had not already been carried by Editor
. Mercer.-Moultrie Observer.
They didn't have to carry Irwin county.
Irwin is just naturally opposed to ring politics
and is in dead earnest about electing reform
candidate.
The election TO fill the vacancies caused by
the deaths of Treasurer NJ w. Howell and
Sheriff D. A. McInnis, will be held on Wednes-
day, the goth day of June There is every indi-
cation that Mr.. J. E. Howell will be elected to
fill the unexpired term of his brother as Treas
urer, and that Pearly McInnis will be elected
to fill his fathers unexpired term without oppo-
sition.
We are in receipt of invitation to the Geor-
gia Normal College and Business Institute COM
mencement exercises, at Abbeville, Sunday,
June 3, to Thursday, June 7. The program is
elaborate and artistically printed. This insti-
tuition is a great credit to Abbeville and this
section of Georgia and we begrudge our neigh
Dor her good fortune in the possession of this
institution and Messrs. Little & Kuh1.
The Enterprise is publishing today the an
nouncement of Mr.. T. M. Purvis, as a candi-
date for Sheriff for the full term. Mr.. Purvis
is young man, but we'll known in the county
and highly esteemed, particularly by the people
who know him best. 1t is quite likely that he
will have a hard fight in the election, whenever
it is called, but his friends think he will make
good showing at the polls and that it will re-
quire very strong man to beat him.

All women will agree that the meanest man
in the world lives in Buffalo. When he went to
bed the other night he secreted rat trap In his
trousers pocket in order to catch his wife should
she indulge in the feminine operation known as
going through your husbands clothes, and-er
the lady's fingers were severely injured.
This deed stands out alone and unparalleled
in the annals of adamantine, casehardened, I'm.
feeling sordidness and heartlessness.
There is many man so penurious that the
only way his wife can get the price of a shirt
waist is by getting up in the Silly night and
robbing his change purse, but this is the only
account of one who has been low down enough
to try to catch the woman in the act.-The
Woman's Magazine.
Mary had little lamb, it's fleece was white
as snow; it strayed away one day, where lambs
should never go. And Mary sat her quickly
and tears streamed from her eyes she never
found the lamb because she did not advertise.
And Mary had brother John who kept vii
lage store; he sat him down and smoked pipe
and watched the open door. And as the people
passed along and did not stop to buy, John sat
and smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy eye.
And so the sheriff closed him out, and still he
fingered near and Mary came to drop with him
a sympathetic tear. How is it, sister, can you
tell, why other merchants here, all sell their
goods so readily and thrive from year to year.
