candidate for the Office of Commissioner of the
Revenue IN the Western District Of Russell coun-
ty, and being the first candidate in the field, and
as am so badly crippled by being thrown from
a horse, that it would be with great difficulty
that I would canvass the county, | take this
method Of informing you, that I am candidate
and will continue to be candidate till the day
of election.
As to my qualifications, can only refer You
to my past services in that Office, and showing,
as / do that nearly all Of you are personally ac-
quainted with me, and that you are well ac-
quainted with my former labors as commission e
er, / will just say to you, that shall ever feel
grateful to you for past favors, and hope to be
remem bered by you ON the day Of election; and
if am elected, shall feel myself under great
obligations to serve you to the best Of my abili-
-ty. If not elected, / shall cheerfully submit.
Yours, with respect,
G. W.sCANDLER.
