BY vote of the convention, on mo-

date for the office of County Surveyor
was left to the county committee.
All of the candidates named are well
and favorably known throughout the
county. That each one is well equipped
for the discharge of the duties of the
office for which he was nominated and
which he will be called upon to fill on
the first of January next we believe
none will question.
OF the merits of the several candi-
dates we shall speak more fully during
the campaign.
