was foregone, and his reelection by
large majority conceded. Marked
efficiency as an officer, high charac-
ter, and exceptionally courteous
treatment Of all whom he met,
whether in the line of his duty or
socially, account for Mr.. Jones' great
popularity. He declines reelection
that he may attend the university
college of law. 1t is hoped he
will return to make his home in
Iowa county. There are mentioned
as candidates for the republican
nomination to succeed Mr.. Jones,
Miss Emma Underwood and Mr.. b.
w. Gillett, both residents of Avoca.
Mr.. Gillett has served in the capac-
ity acceptably for two terms. Miss
Underwood is daughter of Hon.
O. +. Underwood, aud said to be a
most estimable young lady, and well
qualified. Friends of Mr.. John p.
Davis, of this city, would be pleased
to see him nominated, but he has
signified no wish to be candidate.

loss could be made up by subscrip.

those who gained most by the fair
refuse to contribute one cent. A
final meeting of the officials was
held last Tuesday,"

A GOOD audience gathered in the
prohibition tent last Friday evening,
and none who went were sorry they
were there. 4. J. VanMatre made
the principal speech Of the evening,
and it was good one. John c.
