AMONG the candidates for Treasurer
named for nomination by the Republi-
cans, is Eli Moore, a prominent and en-
terpTising citizen of Barnesville. This
is new role for Mr.. Moore, as he has
hitherto been content to vote and work
for his party, and until now has not
been III the lists as candidate. If he
should be so fortunate as to secure the
prize of nomination, his party will have
candidate of exceptional strength.
Years ago Mr.. Moore commenced life as
d poor man, and by steady work and bu-
siness capacity. has advanced to the
front rank of our citizens, and is we'll
known over the county, as man of ex
celleEt character. He possesses in a
large degree the Jeffersonian qualities of
honesty and capacity, and if elected
would make one of the best Treasures
that ever served the county. Mr.. Moore
is also an excellent mixer" and in a
close campaign bis personal exertions
would add many votes to the ticket. He is
making vigorous preliminary canvass,
and if successful will carry the same
kind of work into the general campaign.
I-Barnesville Enterprise.
The CHRONICLE heartily endorses all
the good things said by the Enterprise of
Mr.. Moore, and if he secures the nomin
alton, will endeavOr to do its share
towards securing his election.
