 The morning of the Sth, tbc day set part for the candidates for the various county offices to speak at this place, opened rather gloomy. But soon the clouds cleared away and old Sol shone out in all hls radiance and glory. Very soon the people came pouring in from all directions and the. indica- tons were that it was to be grand gala day for Caglesvillc. By ar
 engagement among the candidates It was agreed that the candidates for the minor offices should speak first. At 1 1 30 o'clock the school children were marched down which was the signal for speaking to commence. w. c. Renfrow, candidate for the office of county surveyor, was led | forward and introduced by James Potts. After a short speech in which he complimented the school children for their nice looks and be- havior, MT. Potts led forth Mir W. R. Halle, also candidate for surveyor. Then came Mr. R. B. Potts, also a candidate for surveyor, and witbal a very kind-hearted gentleman. Either of the above named gentlemen would make Pope county good surveyor. Then the different candidates for as sessor, Messrs. Austin, Erwin, and Rollow, gave us a..short speech. MT. A. R. Robinson's family was sick so that he could not attend Pope county will not lack for an assessor 1 let either of the above named gentlemen be elected. Then Messrs. Bonds, Oates, and Petty, candidates for treasurer, gave a short talk. The county finances will be in safe hands with either of the above gentlemen. Then for sheriff came Messrs. Peeter, i Quinn, and Young. The speaking was rather hot between Capt. Peeler and Quinn, but spirit of fairness was exhibited all the way through. Vote for which you may you will vote for good man. For clerk it is about equal between Messrs. Bayliss, l Howard, Reynolds, and Potts. MT. l Potts gave the school children talk which will rebound to his credit in long years from now and for which the school children will thank him when they become grown men and women. Many people are on pivot about which one of the above named gentlemen to vote for and well they may be, for either one will make a clerk of which Pope county may we'll feel proud. For that position we have men second to none in the state. Jsdges Shinn and Bradley, candi- dates for County Judge, then gave us their views. The office IS q very important one and either of the above gentlemen will make 8 Judge winch the county may well be proud of Then we come to the "big guns. 7" First for representative came N. w. Kuhn. On all the important issues of the day his head is evidently level. In speech of an hours duration he gave a very exhaustive opinion on the leading issues. Then came his very worthy opponent Col. w. B. Young who made an excellent short and pithy speech full of wit and WIS dom. Pope county will be ably rep resented in the legislative halls. Everything is, evidently, not placid in the senatorial contest between Dr. Thompson and Col. Embry. They both made us an excellent speech in which they made very elaborate statements of what they would do if elected Either one will make an excellent senator.
