COUNTY NEWS.


Sid. Parker was acting powder
monkey for Caffrey While he turned
his smut machine on his opponent,
Ta!iaferro, this week.
George Ulrick was nominated as
constable at White Oaks during his
absence, and has informed this office
that under no consideration will he
serve if elected.
Henry Bellomy never discharged
Jones Taliaferro, though often urged
to do so Political grounds was the
cause urged. So insolent were the
ring in urging this that Bellomy
finally told the party sent on this
mission that he was running his own
Office.
The people of White Oaks held a
meeting g Monday night to slect cam
didates for their local offices. Party
lines were not considered in the de-
liberation, and the following ticket.
was put in nomination: Justice of
the peace, VIM. Caffrey constable
Geo. Ulrick, School directors. J.
b. Collier, J. A. Brothers and Sam
uel Bitler.
A boot-black is the latest innova-
ton at Lincoln. The unusual spec
tacle of man leaning up against
the fence with member of the black
art fraternity rubbing up "shine,"
was one Of the incidents of Tuesday
morning. And the owner of the
brogans didn't have the appearance
of dude. either. Heretofore the
boys have been, III the habit of put
ting the glim on their brogans with
a rag tied on the end of stick.
LOUISVILLE has bird resembling
a crow with head like a monkey.
1t must bear a striking resemblance
to our local Democratic iicket-Poe
and Taliaferro.-- Leader.
TIE poor demented old man must
have taken to his Soups" again. AS
it is known he was strongly i'll favor
of organizing the Republican party
in the county, and as that party
failed to matcrialize under his man
agoment, and mongrel peoples
party was the result there is a strong
suspicion that he was thus compelled
to partake too freely Of the meat
that is bitter and the bird that is
black which had to be washed down
with more than the usual amount of
"lubrication," and while in this con-
dition happened to look into the
bottom of the glass when this crow
and monkey story was very natural
ly conjured up by the pictnre there
revealed.
No MORE deserving and capable
man cln be found in Lincoln county
thgn our candidate for assessor, W.
G. Mcdonald. Mac. came to White
Oaks nearly five years ago where he
has lived ever since. He has been
employed as deputy United States
mineral surveyor and is known as a
man who thoroughly understands his
business, and has given general sat
isfaction. He represented Lincoln
county at the Denver Exposition in
1882 giving the best satisfaction.
His pnblic and private life have been
above reproach which should count
| for a good deal when it comes to
chosing man for 50 important an
Office as that to which the people
will elect him next Tuesday.
TIE miserable sheet, known as
the Lincoln County Leader, credits
Col. Beall with a large share of re-
sponsibiity for Democratic organ
ization in the county. Mr.. Beall is
proud of the responsibility, but in
fact he had nothing to do with the
movement. His opponent, Geo. B.
Barber, was one of the original com
mittee. Mr.. Beall declined all ad-
vances to send him to the Territorial
convention; was elected delegate to
the county convention in his absense
from the precinct, but after election
was the central figure in the conven-
ton, and by his manly, honorable
course and eloquent appeals, led
the convention tremendously through
the labors of nominating a ticket
and was himself the unanimous
choice of the convention for Coun-
Gilman position he had repeatedly
declined. He wished his personal
friend, Pat f. Garrett, to accept the
place. Mr.. Beall declines to notice
the snarling of the mongrel cur who
wrote for the Leader. His reputa-
tion is safe. From his personal
friend, the u. S. District Judge, to
the humblest individual who re-
ceives his open-handed assistance
from Republicans and Democrats
alike he ever receives merited vim
