The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1868-03-14
go Eleotlon.


The election last Saturday passed of qui-
city end ,peaceably, as far as we can learn
throughout the entire county Owing to
the ineIemency Of the weather the vote was
somen.hat smaller than we expected The
following gentlemen were elected to Office
w w McCarley, Sheriff.
G. II. Anderson, Register.
J. Monroe Webb, Tax Collector.
Joseph Watson, Trustee.
We congratulate the voters Of Hardeman
upon their selection of men so eminently
qualified for their respective pcs tions,
while We would disparage not one Of the IN
successful candidates, for they were all
clever men, and as FAR as we know would
have made good officers yet We think our
county can now boast Of as efficient officers
az anyin the State
w. W. MeCarley has for years flied the
Office OF sheriff OF IIardeinan county with
so much satisfaction to the people that no
man dared to oppose him in this race.
Esq. Anderson has also been q public Of
fcer for years, and no man can be found
more prompt and attentive to business The
Office Of register will be satisfactorily filed
as long as be continues to hold it.
Mr.. }. Monroe Webb, the tax collector
elect, while acting as constable for several
years past, has shown to the people by his
promptness and efficiency that he viii make
just such tax collector as is needed
We need scarcely say word in com
mendation Of Joseph Watson. He is the
very personifcation of an iron safe, and will
guard the funds OF the county jealousy and
faithfully as he has done for years past
We extend our sympathies to the other
gentlemen who wanted to fill those Offices
but failed in their ambition. We wish there
could be an Office for each and all of them,
but at present we know of no 7acancies.
Ratter luck next time gentlemen
