FOR CLERK OF COURT.
The Republican nominee, Mr.. +. S.
Woodwork, of Pittsville, has written
the county committee that he cannot
accept the nomination for clerk of court
on account of personal reasons. This
leaves this place vacant on our ticket
We therefore take pleasure In endors-
ing the present encumbent, Mr.. Orrin
Gray, the Democratic nominee. 1t is
generally known that he makes an
nvoo11nJ,+ o1or1- 1c o1x
and faithful to his duties We ask the
Republicans to support him in the
absence of an available republican,
knowing full well that the wants of the
office will be well attended too and the
best interests of the county subserved.
He is an old soldier and was formerly a
Republican and some day he may see
the error of his way and come back into
the fold where he belongs. Let every
body cast a vote for Orrin Gray.
FOR SURVEYOR.
The Republican nominee for surveyor
is one of the earliest settlers in Wood
County. His friends are legion who
will take pleasure in casting their votes
for J. Q. Severns one of the best men in
the county. When he first came to this
county he walked from Necedah and
settled on the spot where Pittsville
now stands. Ever since then he has
made that town his home. AS a
surveyor he ranks with the best of
them and if the people see fit to elect
him, he will serve their best
interests. Let us all give ]. @. Severns
our vote for County Surveyor.
FOR CORONER.
John Timm, is well known German
who now resides in this city, but
formerly was a resident of the town of
Grand Rapids, where he reared his
family and earned competence to
sustain himself and wife in comfort and
ease the balance of their days. His
children sre all well started on the road
to fortune and his election to this office
would be mplimentary to one of our
most respected republican citizens.
Voters see that the name of John Timm
is on your ticket for Coroner.
