We neglected to state that Miss Grace
Hood. daughter OF Major C. Hood. was
one or the party who went to Colorado

H. Conner is announced as q can
didate for reelection 10 the Office OF
Sheriff. Mr.. Conner has made an efficient,
faithful, and popular Sheriff, and we have
not heard Ct any opposition TO his services
being endorsed by the customary second
term. He Is just the same HI. Conner a.
Sheriff as he Is when swinging his black
smiths sledge, and iS always alert to at
tend to business, and has bounced horse
thieves until that fraternity is learning to
avoid Lyon county IS an unsafe place for
them. He makes No. 1 officer In all re-
specte, and an unanimous re-election
would not be any injustice to him or to
the people upon whom he relies for his
support.
J. A. Finley has opened boot and shoe
maker's shop At the store Of Mr.. Howard,

John Hammond 10 announced, in the
proper place, IS . candidate for County
Treasurer. It is useless for Us to say any
thing commendAtOry Of Mr.. Hammond,
because he Is well and favorablY known
throughout the county. In fact, every
body knows John Hammond. He has
been here from the start, over twenty
years. and is known a. an Industrious
straightforward and honest man, who has
contributed his share IL building up Lyon
county. - ~ "a 80 %@

Miss Hsddie Brock EFT, cousin OF MIS-
Senator Plumb, wh0 has been here for
about year, started for her home in
Ohio, on Thursday morning. She came
here partly for her health, which has very
much Improved during her stay. Miss
Brockett, by her excellent qualities, has
made hosts OF friends during her stay
here who received the announcement Of
her determination to return to Ohio with
regret. They had hoped she was to re-
main one OF our citizens. Having had q
taste Of Kansas life and liking 1t, we shall
hope for her return soon. May she have
. pleasant journey to her home. !

with . view 10 locating here on . stock
and fruit farm,
At en- examination Of teachers in Chica-
go, we see that r. n. Harris was one OF

late of the Normal school. 30
+. R. Page is announced as candidate
for reelection to the Office Of Register Of
Deeds We are pleased to learn that his.
health has improved so that he can do the
work ofthat ONCE. We believe there Is
no opposition to Mr.. Page, who has made
an excellent Register, and whose health
will, We trust, be such - TO enable hin to
derive some benefit from the ONCE during
his very probable second term. He has
been faithful and competent oftieers and
deserves another term.
is. Craig is q candidate for re-electIo
~ county clerk. Mr.. Craig 10 one Of the
oldest and best citizens Of Lyon, county,
has had an experience In the ONCE which
makes his services valuable, and feels
shat another term would be decidsdly
yOSefal 10 him. ddGiss Of County
Clerk are probably more numerous and
complicated than those Of any other coun.
| u officer, and it takes time for any party
to fully master them. We believe Mr..
Craig relies upon his friends to give him
IN active and hearty support for rc-elec-
tiOn, and that his platform Is, II the
people desire him 70 hold the ONCE they
Will signify it by giving him . majority Of
votes At the polls He is good man, .
good citizen and good Officer.
In our announcement column will be
found the name Of d. W. Eastman, who
VIII ask the people Of Lyon county to sup
port him for county Treasurer, at the No.
Vember election. M. E has been = citi-
zsn here for six years, and is = member Of
the drug firm Of Tandy q Eastman, as
most Of our readers know. He is bust
| ness man OF large experience, and possess
ed Of excellent judgment. He served over
three years as . soldier In the late war,
from NlchigAn.gsF Fer two years and half
he has been assistant post master, and
has discharged the intricate and ardUous
duties Of the pesItIen, we believe, to the
satisfaction Of the public and the p. o.
Department. We presume there Is no
more careful nor competent bOoK-kssper
in the county, than Mr.. e. he. is man
OF sths best cAaracter and qualifications,
and is In every way worthy Of the public
confidence.
