confident he is taking the right course.
From his record here we can assure his
friends that he will improve his Oppor-
tuniteS at the above college.
We are under many obligations to our
friends who so earnestly and unani-
mOuSly presented our name at the re-
cent County Convention, for the exalted
and honorable office of High Bailiff.
The nomination came to us uneXpect-

way we feel that we should be migrate
full to our friends should we decline the
honor. We accept, therefore, and if
elected will do our best to hang the
Sheriff. Selah
