REPUBLICAN CO. TICKET.
lien Well Qualified for the Offices
Nominated.

1t would be unnecessary for us to in
troduce Mr.. Nels Johnson, of CeEtralia,
the republican candidate for Member
of Assembly, if the southern portion of
the county were all that was going to
vote for him, but for the information Of
the people in the northern portion of
the county, we desire to say just a little
about him. His nationality is that of a
scandinavian. He came to this country
when boy and was first employed in
Wood County in Mr. Biron's saw mill.
He worked in this capacity for several
years until he had saved few hundred
dollars, with which he made bis begin
ming in the mercantile business until
now he is a member of one of the
largest and strongest firms financially
there is in Wood county. He has &C
complished this by hard work, honor
able dealing with his customers until
now he is in easy circumstances. He is
strictly man of the people kind
hearted and true. His remembrances
to the poor and needy in times of dis
tress and hardship has made him be-
loved by all classes and conditions. He
has never sought an office and is
now sacrificing his business interests
for his party. He is very popular and
well thought of by members of both
parties. He is republican and there
fore can be counted on to vote with his
party on the issues which come up be-
tween them. AS far as the interests of
the county are concerned there is no
choice between the candidates, both are
good men. The report that Mr.. Nels
johnson is not candidate is false. He
is a candidate and will be found an
active one from now until election.
FOR SHERIFF.
The Republican candidate for Sheriff,
Mr.. w. +. Little, of Pittsville, is in
every way well qualified for the office
which he seeks He has been a resi-
dent of that city for about nine years,
during that time he has been city
marshal four years. He is an American,
of good address, well educated and a
good citizen. Where he is known he
is highly thought of. No democrat or
republican need be ashamed of casting
their vote for w. Z. Little for Sheriff.
CLERK OF COURT.
The republican candidate for clerk of
court is German. He came to Wood
county from Washara county this state
IN the Spring of 1879 He entered the
employ of Mr.. John Edwards, at Port
Edwards, as errand boy, about the
house and store. He proved himself
efficient and honest in small things he
was promoted to clerkship in the store
where he has remained until now. At
present he is head clerk and assistant
postmaster with the entire RESPONSE
bility of store and post-office He is a
popular young man with all the people,
efficient and honest in the performance
of his duties, and if elected to the
office of clerk of court he will serve
the county as faithfully as he has his
employer. He is republican and al
ways has been, except SO far as
supporting Mr.. Edwards for the Senate
and Assembly. Tie ENTERPRISES bluff
at his political affiliations is just about
as reliable as they are expected to
report items.
FOR SURVEYOR.
The county ticket is greatly strength
ened with the name of 0. Gordon
thereon for county surveyor. Mr.. Cor
don resides in Centralia and is one of
the oldest settlers there. He has always
been a strong republican and lifelong
surveyor AS to qualification for the
Office of comfy surveyor there is no
better in the state
FOR CORONER.
) B. Smith, of Milladore, a large, good
natured gentleman who is known in
Wood county by all the old settlers
and many of the new corners. We can
remember when B. Smith was the only
republican voter in the town of Milla-
dore.
We are unable to give an account of
all the candidates on the republican
county ticket this week for we have
not been supplied with the necessary
information.
