last, and opened the State Normal

Circuit will be found in this issue.
Capt. Simonton is we'll known to
many of the readers of the Bulletin,
he having served in Congress, for
two or three terms, as the represen-
tative of the 9th Congressional
District. He is a clever gentleman,
and a good lawyer. If elected he
will, no doubt, discharge the owener
Gus duties of the responsible position
which he seeks honestly and ably.
The district is large, and it will be
impossible for him to meet all of the
voters, but he will see as many of
them as he possibly can between now
and the 9Th of August.
