Ruth when their own daughter went

Esther, an unusually attractive girl,
well proportioned and large for her

It was Lyon Mearson, brother Of

police of her disappearance. Lyon, q

The press of the state has been dis
cussing on broad lines the refusal of
Hon. Hoke Smith to stand for cleo
ton for governor at the coming pri-
mary. The following from the Angus
ia Herald will be of interest to the
friends of Gov. Smith in this sec.
ton of the state.
The announcement of Hon. Hoke
Smith that he must decline the use of
his name as candidate for governor
will cause genuine regret throughout
the state. Ever since the last election
he has been looked to as the peoples
candidate this year. AS the time pass
ed this desire grew. Requests and

from every part of the state that he,
announce himself as candidate. And

from Marietta marched TO his home

to persist unto, his immediate accept
ance of the nomination.
There are few, IL any, instances in
the history of our state of such spon-
