We have just received card to the we'd
ding of Mr. Geo. ii. Robertson and Miss Bessie
Richards, which occurs at the home of the
brides parents, in Satartia, Mississippi, on
W Wednesday evening, November 18th. We con-
graduate George on his contemplated change
of life and are glad TO hear that he has al
length determined to join the Bensdictne army,
though we do think, as heard one OF his
lady friends remark, that ''it was real mean OF
him to 90 SO far from home to select his part
ner." Mr.. Robertson il will be remember ed
went 10 Mississippi about three years ago TO
engage in mercantile pursuits, in which he has
been highly successful. He is the son OF Mr.,

Bear In Mind

Bear in mind the fact that the Board Of
County School Commissioners is appointed by
the Judges Of the Circui. Court in each county
This is "a matter Of great Importance to Repub-
licans and reason why they should vote for
Stockett Smith and Brewer.
The above is from the Annapolis Gazefte, the
Republican paper of Anne Arundel county. If
it means anything, it means that if Stockstt
Smith and Brewer are elected the County
School Board will cease to b- nonpartisan, and
will be wholly Republican. 1t means also, that
school trustees and teachers will be Republicans
as in the days Of Radicalism, and that the
Public School System will be broken down bs
partisanship.
How do we know but that the same feelings
may be entertained here by the Republicans.
We have two Republicans on the Bench now,
and il they get the third the result here pre-
dicted may follow. To be sure two are a
majority and cou.d SO act if they saw fit. but
then it would be satisfaction to know that We
could have the manly persistent and unequivs
cal protestation of Judge Ford to any such
partisan means. So be sure that in voting
next Tuesday you and your friends have the
name o Robert Ford On the tickets deposited
! only learned and experienced men sh0ulo
sit on the judicial Bench Judge Ford is q
learned and eeperienced .judge, therefore Judg'
Ford should be elected on Tuesday.
