good-looking sub-devil, made fly
ing trip to Melbourne this week. Of
course he called onthe Register where
he found Uncle Dave Craige and
his "better nineteenth" their "latch-
string out" busily engaged on the
staff of that great religious weekly.
&C. G. Duvall and I. E. Miller,
who are just from Henderson county,
Texas, have charge ct the Evening
Shade pottery, and are turning out
some excellent looking ware. They
have "come to stay" and will make
an announcement through these col

The Sunday~school attendance
is increasing; congregations at the
churches are larger and more atten-
tive; and the attendance at the liter
ary school gets better, several new
students from a distance just start
ing in. In fact everything shows
renewed determination in our peo'
pie, in every avenue and underta~
king, which portends that happiness
and prosperity Is in store for all our
good citizens.
The County Commissioners of
accounts, composed Of J. r. Metcalf,

met at the clerks office on Monday

critical examination of the books

filled this Office two terms, but with
such utmost satisfaction to the peo-

better democrat than he is faithful
county official.
Capt. Joshua Wann announces
himself in this weeks Record as a
candidate for reelection to the office
of clerk of Sharp county, and is sub
iect to the action of democratic
county convention, should such con-
vention be held. Capt. Wann is
just completing his first term as clerk,
and so far as we know has made a
satisfactory officer. Everybody that
Is acquainted with the Captain knows
him to be a democrat, and he will
make the fight claiming democracy
as one of the prerequisites, now that
the political lines are being drawn in
the local campaign. Should the gen.
tleman be chosen as the nominee of
the party and is finally elected, the
experience he will have had will bet
ter enable him to discharge his du-
ties more efficiently.
