Robert Fletcher-excuse us, we
mean Bob" Fletcher-shies his
costor in the ring as contestant
for the Democratic nomination
for Jailer Of Montgomery county.
Bob says he is in the fight to a fin
ish, and he is going to win it too.
Everybody in the county knows
Bob Fletcher, and they like him
also. He is an active business man,
open, frank and genial in his bear
ing, who gets around among the
people in lively manner. He can
get over more ground, talk faster,
laugh heartier and say more pleas
ant things than any man we know.
In short, Mr.. Fletcher desires us
to say he is a candidate for Jailor
not for the fun of the thing
but to win the race which he
intends, with the aid of his friends,
to do. Mr.. Fletcher is an active;
fearless man, who will discharge
the duties of the office he seeks
with fidelity and untiring zeal. He
is entitled to careful hearing
from all the voters of the county.
This, we know he will get.

A business man has the nerve to
say word in regard to the Court

is little less than a public disgrace
to have such menace to cleanli-
ness and health, right in the heart
of the city. On hot summer day
the loathsome stencil that arises
from this place permeates the
atmosphere for an hundred feet in
every direction. 1t is little won
der that typhoid fever claims so
many victims every summer. We
have seen strong men sicken when
their nostrils came in contact with
the odor. The City Council at last
passed the wise, heathful ordin-
ance keeping cattle off the street,
and if they will now only correct
this evil, the public will rise up
and call them blessed. The city is
in a good financial condition. Let
her put pavement entirely around
the Courthouse wall, as is so bad
ly needed and as every other pro-
gressive Kentucky town has al
ready done.
