TINS SnRIEvALTY.- The election for

already candidates prospective and an
nounced candidates are In the field. It
is probable that the fine pickings of the
sherif's office will bring into the arena
more candidates than have ever before

stood to give n fine revenue, and is in
creasing in Importance every year
Among the candidates already an.
nounced is Mr.. A. II. Curlin, whose card
appears in to.day's LEDGER Mr.. Curtin
has a very large circle Of friends, and
represents considerable strength, which
will be made available for him.
He has resided in this county
eighteen years and never before
asked the people for an office. In the
present age of Office seeking, this is some
what remarkable. A large proportion of
the men now filing Offices Of honor and
trust in the South are scarcely acelima-

candidate who has never been in race
before. This il q strong point in Mr.
Curlins favor, and added 10 his other
strong points, will make him formidable

A MORNING paper keeps standing
at the head of its columns in conspic.
uous letters the following:
" Largest circulation Of any paper IN
Vest Tennessee. Largest city circula-
| ton"
Now, if this is true, we have no right
to say one word on the subject. But if
it is not true, it is not right that any
other paper should take from us the
credit aud reap an advantage which be-
longs to the LEDGER The public, whose
advertising patronage depends much on
the circulation of newspaper, is emit
tied TO know the facts. And the paper
which pretends to the largest circulation
should be able to establish it. We pub
lish that the LEDGER has the largest cir
culation. We think it is three times as
large as that paper. So that one of us
is mistaken. Whichever it is should
take down the horns And we now offer
to pay over to Col Kerr for the Fanny
Thurston fund one hundred dollars if our
whole circulation does not exceed that
paper tico 10 one provided only the pub.
fishers referred to will do the same if it
does-to be determined by selection of
mutual friends as judges. Thus the
truth will appear, and charitable fund
be increased in either event.
We can get no reply as TO the question
of relative circulation of the Bulletin
and the LEDGER. We shall therefore ad.
here to our opinion, heretofore expressed,
that the difference in our favor is as
three to one. The public will draw its
own conclusions, as to whether it is adj
Missile that our neighbor should pre-
tend to circulation at all If, by hunt
ing about, anybody should discover that
paper in dwelling house or store, they
can count that for one. We do not deny
that here and there, one may be found,
after a close hunt, while the LEDGER is
to be found everywhere. We rather re-
greet the result, as Col Kerr informs us
that he has particular use for that hun
bred, and can apply it to very good
purpose.
