Browns IRON BITTERs
is one of the very few tonic
medicines that are not COM
posed mostly of alcohol or
whiskey, thus becoming a
fruitful source of intemper-
ance by promoting a desire
for rum.
Browns IRON B1TTERs
is guaranteed to be a nom
Intoxicating stimulant, and
it will, in nearly every case,
take the place of all liquor,
and at the same time abso-
lutely kill the desire for
whiskey and other intoXi-
eating beverages.
Rev. G. w. RICE, editor OF
the american Christian Re
UezO, says of Browns Iron
Bitters:

To the Editor Of THE CHIEF:
In your edition of the 9TH inst. read an
article under the heading of "School Super
intendent," written by an aspirant for that
office.
To my opinion it would have come with
much better grace from one of the friends
who, as he says, requested him to offer him.
self US u candidate for the office of school su-
perintendent for this county.
do not doubt the gentieman's qnalifica-
tions, but am sure from the experience the
electors have had of the present officer, Mr..
g. II. Merchant, during his past official
career, Is sufficient guarantee that he is the
right man in the right place.
Mr.. Merchant left his home in Missouri
where he had taught school for a number of
years, came out here when the reservation
was in, might say its embryo. with the in
tention of RISING with the country. Being a
retiring young man, he did not seek office,
but when appointed by the governor, to his
present situation, entered into it with u Will
and energy which showed that the confidence
had not been misplaced.
Your correspondent asserts that he was
tonished at Mr.. Merchant being Republican,
but, at the same time, says he does not believe
in bringing politics into this election. Now
sir, believe the fact of him coming ont as
he did shows to the contrary, whereas it is
well known Mr.. NJ. has not taken the ndvan-
tage of either side nor has he attempted to
DrlIg i1to tHis Dut itel-
Il young county like Delta education should
be conducted in an unsectarian, unpartizan
and non-political basis.
Now sir, wish to say to the independent
electors of this county that Mr.. G. II. Mcr-
chant is again in the field tor their suffrage,
and if reelected he will show during the
coming year, to the most fastidious, that
their trust has not been misplaced, but thai
they have been working for the best interests
of the county.
In conclusion wonlh ask every one who
has the interests of the county and education
at heart to rally round the polls on election
duy and show by their votes that they appre-
ciate old and worthy officers by not giving
their votes to every new conner or Office
seeker who may come along, and roll up n
large majority for our tried and true friend
Mr.. q. ii. Merchant. EDUCATION.

Good New. for Ranchmen.

Geo. w. Moody has the contract for sup
plying Orman & Crooks railroad force below
here on the Gunnison. Vegetables of all
kinds will be wanted. The prices paid may
seem low to some, but it is no doubt better to
sell now than hold over, and lose the show to
sell. Produce is plenty and markets ex-
trenely low all around us, with little or no
ship over the range in any direction will be
an impossibility in the winter or early spring.
With the facilities for shipping produce in
from Utah and Kansas, we think those who
sell now will not regret doing 80, for there
will have to be quite rise in price to make
up for shrinkngc and loss from now till spring
in produce
