Jasper II. Peoples for County Court
Clerk-..And Why We Should
Elect Him.
As | have seen some writing in favor
of DR.. Leah, l desire to say something
in justice to the worthy gentleman,
Jasper H. Peoples. A great many peo-
nIa in thIO nnrrnf- urn AvA. .aal., -
jump upon a fat office like DR.. Leah
and grease her all over, so that every
Republican in the county could swal-
low her: but lit c is said about Jasper
who represents the poor boy. You see
Jasper is a poor boy, but while he is
sober and honest, he deserves much
praise fer the way in which he has al
ways conducted himself. He has been
in the service of the people Especially
the pensioners for some time and has
always been ready and willing to work
for them without making any charges.
Those who have had work done by him
know this to be true. He has filled
hundreds of vouchers, placed the county
seal on them and charged them moth
ing, and If he is elected to the office of
County Court Clerk you may rest as.
sured that you will get the same treat.
ment. Jasper is a clever man, always
ready TO lend a helping hand, he is al
ways at his post, we'll qualified to fill
the Office; he needs the office and ought
to have it. Why not divide the
pie? DR.. Leah has swallowed pie
enough for the present; and Jasper has
worked 80 long for the Republican
party on corn bread and water, that it
certainly looks like we as just Republic
cans ought to give him a chance at the
pie and milk. appeal to the Republi-
can party for their own sake and for
the sake of the poor and the needful,
let us not crush every hope, every ray
of political sunshine which Jasper Peo-
Piles now retains. He is of a Demo
cratic family It's true, but he is a true
Republican, and should be rewarded
for the good sense he displays in turn
ing away from that broad road which
leads to death and destruction. Now
let us work, watch and pr.y; and may
God help every Republican in the
county to do his duty, is the prayer of
POSSOM Jim.
