THE unanimity with which the press OF

for Col, Geo. L. Couch, augurs well for his
candidacy as representative to the general

ed his duties as mayor of Wellington that
he was elected for second term almost
by common consent and concludes that ii
the colonel will represent the people OF
the county as ably as he has the citizens
of Wellington, he will make a worthy and

The closing sentence Of the article reads
"He is well qualified for the position and

article on the same subject equally COM
