lsry always has an attraction. The pic.
lures, old and new. are closely scanned, by
Acquaintance and stranger alike. Photo
graphy has made some wonderful strides
forward, since Daguerre made his first i'm.
perfect negative. Not the least Of these
great advances has been the discovery OF
the dry plate process by means oil which
instantaneous views are taken. By means
OF this discovery the very actions OF man,
his habits and peculiarities can be photo
graphed. 1t is this useful and valuable
discovery that enables me to give you some
glimpses ot well known people here.
INSTANTANEOUS PHOTOGRAPHIC.
Rather above the average size, dressed
in quiet gray suit, closely cut hair, clean
shaver, somewhat tlorid face, clear brown
eyes, strong willed mouth, that is G. F.
Teter, one OF the most popular young men
in the county, an attorney OF brilliant pros.
poets, graduate OF the Ann Arbor law
school, and one OF the most genial young
men in the world. ll4is twenty-five years
OF age. At the last State election, the Re.
publican county executive committee,
when the regular nominee for the House
oi Delegates declined to run, put Mr..
Teter on the ticket. This was but two
weeks before the election, and in county
that usually gives from 800 to 400 Demo.
cratic majority. But, determined to re.
duce the majority Of his opponent to the
minimum, hr. Teter made the fight,
stumped the county, spoke in school
houses, delivered Sunday school addresses,
"heftedn babies, and proved himself such
an admirable mixer and popular man that
his opponent, Judge John W. Corder, was
elected by majority Of bat two. Next
year Barbour county will be represented
by Republican:
II you see blonde young man walking
the streets with his hands c!asped in front
OF him, straw hat resting upon mass OF
brown hair, Prince Albert coat and
grayish trousers, that ia A. G. DIytop, an.
other popular young attorney. Mr.. Day.
ton possesses scholarly tacc, Is OF medium
heiphtb, a graduate OF the University,
class OF II, studied law with his father
and began to practice in rs. He has one
OF the most lucrative practices In the
county, and Is regarded as 9 safe, conscien.
tious attorney. In 1880 he ran for Prose.
cutiRg Attorney on the Republican ticket
against Major +. p. r. Brown, but was de.
feated by fifty votes. At the previous
election Mr.. Brown had been elected by
500 majority. Mr.. Dayton will bs the
Republican candidate for Prosecuting At.
torney at the next election, and will be
elected.
]. Hop Woods is another one Of the
young attornies at this bar. He Ia the sue.
cetsor to the firm OF Woods 4 Son. He Is,
like most OF the members OF the bar here,
OF the blonde persuasion. His practice is
valuable ahd constantly increasing. He
has never meddled with politics, and poe.
sesses the confidence and respect ot all
who know him. His brother Sam, who Is
partner OF 7. r. K, Brown, Is understood
to be in training for the nomination for
Prosecuting Attorney on the Democratic
ticket, is the politician OF the family. i
ia too bad that his young ambition should
be iated 10 an early death at the hands oi
Mr.. Dayton.
One more. That tall, dark faced man,
with the short s;ubhy beard, keen eye,
long limbs and chronic smile Is IKE"
Johnson, who knows all "the boys" at the
Democratic conventions. Heit was who
nominated W. X. Pendlaton for State Su.
perintendent OF Free Schools at the last
Democratic convention. 10 the language
OF an admiring friend he isa'" "holy terror"
in such gathering. Atrresent he Is clerk
Of the Circuit Court, and has the reputation
Of being one oi the best in the State. He
Is an aspirant for the State Auditorship,
and III Democrat must have It, the Repub.
licans Of Barbour know no man In the
Democratic party they would sooner see
elected than Mr.. johnson. QUILP.
