THE TICKET.

The organization of a full mu-
nicipal ticket in opposition to the
com binatiOn ticket formed with
the purpose of avoiding a faction
al fight in the present city cleo
ton, places before the voters not
alone a choice of men for the
offices sought, but also the very
important question. Shall there
be future attempts at harmon
ling political factions?
Whether there be objections to
the way the combination ticket
was formed or not, and certainly
the gentlemen forming it were
strictly within their rights to
form and submit a ticket if they
chose. the principal thing should
not be lost sight of, and that is
that those concerned in the for.
nation of the ticket we're actu-
ated by a spirit of doing for the
public good.
The injury and harm to a. town
of bitter factionalism was recog
nized, and the purpose was to
bring the factions together that
by having a harmonious people,
some effective efforts might be
made for the growth and prog
ress of the town. and especially
during this period OF business
depression.
The personnel of the cOmbina-
ton ticket is composed of some
of the best men in town, men
who have the city's interest at
heart, and certainly the ticket is
one that every citizen can sup
port on its own merits.
It is before the people to de.
eide whether they approve the
purpose and object of the com
bination ticket. If they do they
will elect it as a whole; if they
don't. it will mean that they
want two tickets to choose from.
The election will show.

Famous Woman Explorer,

Mrs. Marie Robinson Wright Of
Georgia is believed to hold the record
for having accomplished more in the
way of penetrating countries hitheto
unknown than any other living woman,
with the possible exception of Mrs.
Fanny Bullock Workman. She is
called by some "the Columbus OF
South America" from the fact that
she, u%ndaunted by hardships and per.
lis in the countries she has visited, has
opened to the pioneers of trade and
commerce a new paradise that blooms
south of the equator, where untold
wealth awaits development at the
hands Of civilized man. She estimates
that she has travelled 200, 600 miles in
pursuit of her work.
