Rev. W. N. Ogborn, the Methodist min
lister of this place, is likely to return to us
next year. His fearless fight for right
and his genial nature have made him a
host of friends.
Miss Moore's lecture, on Tuesday even
ing, In the Presbyterian Church, was well
received by crowed house.
Pork is on the drop. A great many
farmers in this vicinity haven't sold.
Ex-senator George D. Horner has his
large crop of cranberries still on hand.
Mr. Horner's crop is said to be above the
average in quality.
Election is over and most of our towns
men have turned their minds to business
again Some of the knowing ones are
giving their attention to spring election
when the terms of freeholder, township
committeeman and assessor, with other
minor officers, expire. Walter Cottrell.
the present Democratic freeholder, has
been an efficient official and there seems
to be no complaint against his admins
tration. He is especially popular through
the county where he has made many
friends by his fearless stands for his con-
viction. If the Republicans expect to
elect his successor they must put forward
a good man. I. Jackson Davis, the Dem
ocratic committeeman, is a successful BUSH
ness man. Aaron Branson, our present
assessor, has grown gray in the service
having held the Office number of years;
he is a retired business man. The Re-
publicans have not had these offices for
number of years. Last spring they elect
ed their whole ticket with the aid of the
Werts ballot law which preserves the
secrecy of the ballot If they expect to be
triumphant again in next spring they
must put their best men forward and give
long pull, strong pull and a pull all to-
gether. For the freeholder's nomination
the name of Clifford Horner has been
mentioned. Mr.. Horner has represented
this county in the Assembly, fact which
any Democrat can be proud of. He
carried this township by overwhelming
maiorities both times he ran for Assembly
and 1t is very doubtful if he win accept
the nomination. Joseph Camps name
had also been mentioned but as he re-
ceiyed the postmastership he is now out
of the fight. Mr.. Cottrell has all along
showed desire to retire from politics and
it is very doubtful if he would again ac-
cent the nomination on the Republican
side. Candidates seem to be booming up
but as vet no one seems to have the call.
Constable Robbins name has been mem
toned but he says he is not candidate.
F. S. Gaskill, president Union Transpor-
tation Company. has also been mentioned
but he is quoted as not wanting the posi-
ton. Burrs Chamberlain and William
Chambers have also been mentioned.
For committee l. Jackson Davis states
that he is out of the race and the nomi-
nation may 90 to G. Frank Moore, an
enterprising young basket maker who so
strongly favored union caucus last year.
On the Republican side Theodore Rob-
bins and W. F. Bishop have both been
mentioned. For assessor Aaron Branson
has sienified his wishes of retiring on &C
count of his advanced age. The Democratic
nomination may fall on w. I. Nash the
popular young shoemakeriwho went down
with the tide last spring. On the Repubi.
can side d. W. Bussom and W. f. Bishop
are said to want the place.
