by sos 1t can be done. Let us do
it,
For Representative we have DR.. VIM
S. Williams, another energetic, live
man. Dr. Williams came to Oak Hill,

| was living there at the time. He
was then comparatively a poor young
man. He commenced the practice of
medicine, and was successful. He
took stock in Jefferson Furnace, and it
it has paid well. He was for time in
partnership, as a physician, with DR..
Norton. A few years ago he gave up
his practice, and is now financial agent
of Buckeye Furnace, of which he is
part owner AS business man, he is
a success. think he is a native of
the State ofNew York, although he is
Welshman He has always, wheth-
er a poor youug physician, or success
ful furnaceman, been the same polite,
friendly, pleasant gentleman, full of
hope and energy. He has his enemies

Hughes Esq, one of the purest men in
this country, remark that the men who
urged DR. Williams as a candidate,
were the men who knew him best--the
men who had been his business part
ners for fifteen years.
DIR. Williams never was a Democrat.
He was a Wing under the old division
Of parties,
John j. G, Evans, candidate for Pro-
bate Judge, Is one of the most popular
men in the county. He is a Welsh
man, and resides near Limestone Fur
mace. His character is without a bem-
ish. He is strictly honest, is a fair
scholar, and possesses all the necessary
qualifications to fit him for the office.
He has served with credit as justice of
the peace,
Charley James, for Clerk, is well
known, Three years ago he was nom
mated, mostly because he was a Grip
pied soldier, and had come out from
all his family, who were Democrats, -
He had no experience in the business,
and of course, at first was awkward.
That was to be expected, But he i'm
proved very fast, and now he is one of
the most competent Clerks in the State.
There will be no trouble about his re-
election,
Adam Lackey for Commissioner, is
an honest, competent man, and the
vast interests Of the county are safe in
his hands. In watching the treasury,
he has, like all other Commissioners,
made enemies. But he can be re-
elected
d. W Cherington, Treasurer, is a
perfectly honest man, and for such
place, such man is needed A pow
erful attempt was made to Swindle him
out of the Office two years ago, aud the
people felt that he deserved the office
another term, in order to compensate
him, in some measure, for what the
contest cost him. So no man would
be candidate for nomination against
him, Let us give him big majority.
Our county last year gave Sherwood,
on the State ticket, 927 majority, and
Gen, Grant All Let us come up to
our majority oflast year We can do
