Vote for Mayor Reason.


Mayor BeesOn's administration has been
as good as that of any Mayor HiIsboro has
had for years. He has discharged his Of
fetal duties faithfully, and without fear
or favor, and so far as enforcing the ordi-
nances is concerned, everyone knows he
has been faithful and has not departed
from the path of duty. He has done every
thing that laid in his power for the peace
and prosperity of the town, and we know of
no man who could have done better under
the circumstances.
We have heard it said that he had no
business to turn men loose, who could not
pay their fines, but what else could he do,
under the circumstances ? A man who is
arrested for drunkenness or disorderly
conduct, is fined probably from 50 to S5,
and if he cannot pay, is he to be sent to
Jail, to be boarded at the expense Of the
county? If such a course were pursued,
oar jail would have to be almost as large
as a penitentiary, and the expense of keep
ing the vagabonds would be enormous.
There is no sense in abusing the Mayor for
not collecting fines, when it is absolutely
impossible for him to do so. If our citi-
zens wish to see the violators of the peace
punished, let them petition the Legislature
for a special act to establish work-house,
where petty offenders and vagabonds could
be made to work out their fines.
When we say that Mayor Bseson has
been a faithful public servant, and de-
serves a reelection at the hands Of our
citizens, we mean just that and nothing
less. That they will rally to his support
on the day Of the election, we do not
doubt, and if his administration during the
next term is as good as it has been during
the past, we will have no cause to COM
plain. Mayor Beeson is a just man, and
We are satisfied that he is recognized as
such by all fair and true-minded citizens,
who will show their appreciation Of his
services by giving him handsome major
itV.

The State Mutual Aid.

Mr.. R. B Julian, Bgsat for the company
at this place, was called to Columbus by a
telegram last week, and on his return de-
clared that the company was all right. Mr..
Bowers, who was sent to Columbus in the
interest of the policy-holders, has not yet
returned, but will be back, We understand,
4o-morrow "Wednesday evening, when he
will probably make full report of what
he has done. There is considerable excite
ment here among the policy-holders, near
ly all of whom denOunce the company and
declare that it is fraud. Mr.. Philip Work
informs us that there were about 300 poll
cy-holders in this county, who paid about
S4OO or $500 per month to the Association.
We will interview Mr.. Bowers on his re-
turn, and publish anything new that may
be developed in our next issue.

What HiIIshnrn Needs.

When town attains a population Of
four thousand people, it is Of the utmost
importance that it should possess a Mar
shal who understands his business, and one
who will discharge the duties of his office
faithfully. It is no small matter to pre-
serve order in a town the size Of HiIlsboro,
and to do it perfectly, the Marshal should
be an active, energetic man, who will de-
vote his whole time and attention to his
duties. Besides this he must be a cour-
ageous man, cool-headed, impartial, and one
who has had experience with crimes and
disorder in all its forms. He must be a
strictly sober and honorable man, one
whom the community can respect and re-
ly upon.
Policeman Reed Willett, the Republi-
can nominee for Marshal, Is a man who
possesses all these qualifications. He has
made the best policeman that HiIlsborO
has ever had, and his fifteen years expert
ence as a police officer has fitted him well
to fill the Office of Marshal. He is as
courageous man as ever walked, and yet
be is no bully. He is a man who has his
temper under control, and will not take
advantage of an offender to abuse him
merely because he is armed with authority
Our citizens are greatly indebted to
Policeman Willett, and especially our bust.

years he has been a faithful night watch.
man, carefully guarding the property o.
our citizens, always on hand, and never
shrinking from danger. But his Ions
period of night-service is beginning tC
tell on him, and he deserves a better posi-
tion. He is still a strong, active man, ca.
pable Of discharging the duties of Mar
shal for years to come. That he will b.
elected We do not doubt, for we think hi
services have been appreciated. Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike acknowledg,
his fidelity, and true worth always merit
reward, which should be given him, il
the shape Of an election by at least Isl
majority.

for their trouble. At the depth Of six or
seven feet below the surface they found
considerable quantities of charcoal, and
parts of human skeleton, that to all ap-

To the Point.

When a Democrat proposes an "Inde-
pendent" or "Fusion" ticket this Spring
ask him why his party never gets up such,
a ticket in Kentucky or Missouri? Does
a Democrat ever think of getting up a
"Fusion" ticket where his party has a re-
liable majority No, indeed. Down in
Dodson or Hamer township, or in Brown
county, they would laugh at a Republican
who would propose such a thing. Where
they can carry their ticket, every man up
on it must be a Democrat, Where they
have no chance to elect a ticket, they want
to sink politics" and run ticket half Re
publicans and half Democrats. The game
is almost too old to win again, but it is
we'll for good Republicans to be on their
guard and repudiate all overtures.

had won, and are now retired from their
labors, feeling assured that ''their works
do follow them.
