 l If there ever has existed any doubts
 in the minds of our tiizens, that the
 backbone Cf the old couIt house ring
 with has run the affairs of this county
 for several years is broken and that the
 people ~il i,auguarate a new deal in
 eourty af.irs at the coming election
 such doubt i' being rapidly cissipated.
 The general feeling ii thst a change is
 needed all around, and the independent
 voters are rall,ing to the support of the
 repubi-an county Ii ktt which was nom- mated through free expression of the
 voice of the representatives of the pee pie.
