A card From Sherin McGowan

A Card From sheriff hcGOwan,
In answer to a call made on me by
a large number of my fellow citizens
recently published in the LEDGER to
announce myself as q candidate for re.
election to the Office l now hold, |
beg leave to say that | am more than
greatful for their Endorsement of my
official course. 1t has certainly been
my aim to discharge the duties of the
Office faithfully, and | regard the good
opinion which they have seen proper
to express as a prize of more value
than the sherifalty.
The delay in answering the call
grew out OF the fact that l did not
know what would be the action of the
democratic party Of Shelby county,
and being a democrat, / did not wish
to embarrass the party by anything l
might do. / now say that it is my
purpose to be a candidate for re-
election. Should there be a dem
ocratic convention l will submit my
claims to it, and abide its action. If
there is no convention, then 1 will
announce myself as a candidate before
the people, subject to their will at the
ballot box. E. L. MCGOWAN.

The great dry goods house Of Men,
ken Brothers, with its successful his
tory of twenty years in our midst, like
the indestructible pyramids of Egypt,
gathers strength as it grows older. To
trace the growth of their immense
business from small beginnings to its
present gigantic proportions would be
an instructive lesson to the rising gen.
Grafton Enormously and thought
lessly, successful men are said to
achieve thisor that distinction through
a lucky stroke of fortune. Energy,
based on probity and intelligence,
concentrated on a given object,
achieves success, and not what is
known as hap .hazard or luck. 1t can
not be denied though we regret its
existence, and consider the cause as
groundless) that a certain uneasiness
prevadeS the commercial community,
and contractions and removals are
frequently limited at. In this connec-
ton we are glad to announce the i'm
plicit confidence in the future Of our
city as exemplifed by Menken Broth
ers in their daily receipts of merchan.
