A ROYAL LIST /!
Sketches Of the Republican Candidates,
JOHN d. WILSON.

one iota TO the praise that Auditor
Wilson receives at the hands of the
good people Of Wood County. To say
that he makes a first-class Auditor is
putting the thing In very weak words.
He Is q man who makes his oficial
duty his business, who studies all its
technicalities, who looks Mt every little
detail In management, and who keeps
his accounts in remarkably clear
manner. 1t is foolish to praise such 81
man,-his acts are his greatest claims
to public appreciation. He constantly
keeps an eye on taxation business, and
he secs every chance to saye dollar
to the people,-then he goes of and
saves the dollar. He is such an
auditor as Wood county should have
in perpetuity.
Mr.. Wilson is 81 years old, and
man OF the most exemplary habits.
Let every Republican, let every tax
payer who cares to have low taxation.
let every man who appreciates honesty,
economy, and competency, vote for the
return OF John B. Wilson.
A. L. MUIR.
Was named for County Clerk. Mr..
Muir is the present clerk, and is NOM
mated, like Auditor Wilson, for
second term. Mr.. Muir was born in
Wood county,--in Webster township,
on Jan. 5th, 1857. He is of Scotch
descent, and that is always "honest
blood" He attended school in the
country, and not only attended it, but
did all the work he could to secure n
solid education. After leaving school
at home, he attended the Fostoria
Normal School, and was for several
years engaged in teaching.
He was prominently connected with
educational affairs in this section, and
teachers who knew him as a teacher
speak in the highest terms OF him.
His work as Clerk has been beyond
criticism, being done in scientific
manner, and to the full satisfaction of
every citizen who has had business
with his office. His courteous conduct
and jolly manners have made him the
favorite ofall who know him. Had the
people searched the county over with a
rake, they could not have stirred up a
better man better fitted for clerk than
Liant Muir. Vote for him everybody
ALL ABOUT N. S. JONES.
The candidate for Sheriff, named by
the monster convention, is N. S. Jones,
or as he is familiarly called, DOC.
Jones'" He was born at Circleyille.
Pickaway county, Ohio, and came into
the limits OF Wood county in 1880.
Since coming to this section of Ohio.
he has been several years member of
the Republican County Central Com
mittee, during which time he has
always shown himself staunch Repub-
lican, and faithful worker in the
interests, not only of his party, but of
the people in general. He was good
soldier, going into the service of his
country at the age OF IS, and serving
for over three years. He was twice
wounded, one ball taking effect in his
face, and another in his shoulder. At
the battle of Chicamauga, Tenn, he
was captured, and was held prisoner
for many months. Three times he
from his prison. and twice was
and taken back. He got
AWAY the third time, and reached
Uncle Sans lines after n most remark
able march of nearly 500 miles. The
history of his escape was printed in
full in the JOURNAL some time ago,
and furnished exceedingly interesting
reading for our subscribers. The
articles were headed "The Capture and
Escape" The War Department con-
ferred upon him badge of honor for
services at the battle of
Stone River. Mr.. Jones resides at
Dunbridge, and is a Justice of the
Peace. He merits the vote of every
Republican in Wood County, and we
will see him go in in "whoop and
hurrah."
