Unclaimed Letter List.
The following is a list of letters re-
naming unclaimed in the post office
in Jonesboro, Tenn, and advertised
March 10, 1894.
Mrs. LIZZIE Davenport, John A. Golden.
If the above are not called for in 2
days they will be sent to the Dead
Letter Office at Washington, d. G. Re-
spectfully, Geo. MCPHERSON. p. M.
NJ. f. Hickey for Sheriff.
1t is universally maintined that the
office OF Sheriff is one of very great i'm.
portance. 1t requires intelligence, dis
erection, prompt decision, and a con
siderable knowledge of law. 1t is
through this channel that the DEGREES
and mandates OF your courts reach the
people, and upon whose enforcement
depends, in a very large measure, the
safety of the citizens and the security
of his private and public rights. 1t
often requires a bold front and
apous action to execute the processes
of the law, especially where criminal
offenders are to be a%pprehended and
crime is to be punished. The county
might easily recove from a financial
loss, but where society suffers from the
wrong doing or non performance OF a
Sheriff the injury may be irreparable.
What we have said is but a transcript
of the opinion OF the ablest lawyers and
closest observers. 1t therefore stands
us IN hand TO have. in our Sheriff a
man who can meet all the demands
and emergencies that come upon him
with a discreet intelligence, a cautious
alacrity and an undaunted intrepidity.
He must be such "a judge of men SO as
to know how to proceed with safety
and still with the utmost effectiveness.
He must act with an eye single to the
proper discharge of his duties and con
stantly guard against any conduct or
motive that would do violence to the
solemn sanction OF his oath OF Office.
The character that Mr.. Hickey has
sustained as an officer for a number of
yearsis warrant Tor the judgement and
opinion that he embodies all the re
quisites for Sheriff which we have out
lined. No officer in the county outside
OF the Sheriff in chief has had so many
official engagements in hand and no
one has discharged them with a more
conscientious regard for honest deal
ing with greater promptItude and bet
ter results. The name in which he
has conducted himself as an officer is
a subject OF general and favorable re
mark, and has commended him to the
confidence and support OF the very large
number for whom he has done bust
ness. Ii elected Sheriff his duties will
not be n. W. The field that will be
opened before him he has traversed in
every nook and corner. He has a
natural aptitude Tor the business and
his long experience has brought him
rich stores of the most useful informa.
ton. He is the best equipped contest
ant in the field, and his integrity and
urbanitv challenge the confluence and
friendly feeling of the masses. He
cou d enter the canvass with every as
france of success for his warm friends
are legion and his name would swell his
following into t%riumphal hosts. No
mistake will be made when the name
of M. F. Hickey is placed on the roster
OF our county nominees.
