From the Sherman Courier.l

The following sentiments from the
pen of one of our best and most devo-
ted citizens, is but just tribute to real
worth, and we earnestly commend
them to the voters of Grayson county.
They appeal to the law-abiding citi-
zens everywhere:
To the Editors of the Courier:
The election is approaching, candi-
dates of all descriptions are out hand
shaking and sugar-coating; aspirants
are In the field all as white and pure
AZ cotton or snow flakes. Electioneer-
ing has reached the summit; but one is
not there, has not made his appear
ance-Judge Silas Hare. The Judge is
attending court and discharging his
duties. and while others are at liberty
and at large, he, true and faithful
servant, keeps himself closely confined
to the temple of justice, not moving a
step. Judge Hare is known to the
people of Grayson county as an honest
and upright citizen, a refined gentle
man of superior qualities, combining
love with Justice in the discharge Of
his duties, and impartial to all. Court
eous and affable, he is accessible to the
humblest citizen, never showing the
cred mantle" of legal pedantry.
Jurisprudence is his home and
element, and long study and ex-
perience have made him master
In the field. Esteemed and respected
by all who knew him, his friends are
legion. The records of the criminal
,eoIlrt, carefully examined, will album
daptly show how deserving he is, and
that there Is no county in this broad
land that ever could or can compare
with the financial. condition OF Gray
son county since Judge Hare has ac-
cepted the chair and taught economy
so mastery. Under his administration
the criminal court has paid Its own ex-
penses in full and over and lessened
the burden and taxes OF the people.
An appeal from bis decision to the SUI
nreme court Is of the rarest occurrence
the greatest proof Of his qualiilca-
tion. Such 10 the gentleman whose
name Is before the people OF Grayson
county as a candidate for reelection
as County Judge. Do you desire a bet

your hands Ask not, knock not, call
not; but keep him in his judicial chair,
vote for him as County Judge, and
