the assurance of more money than
1t has yielded him heretofore.
ROBERT B. WEBB,
a Republican, was elected sheriff
of Attala county In 1886 and was a
resident of Kosciusko in Beat /
when elected. He has been cit
izen of Kosciusko for many years
and has from the time Of his ma
|jority been in his political views
antagonistic to Democracy. He
is quiet man, taking things easy;
but is ever watchful Of the changes
Of the two great political parties
that have controlled the destiny
and welfare of the American Re-
public since the palmy days of
Henry Clay, the great leader Of
the Wing party; and has followed
that party into the changes and
names that the leaders from time
time have advised. He was ap-
pointed clerk of the circuit court
in 1870 and was elected in 1871
and 1874 to that office and served
six years. He has faithfully dis
charged the duties Of the offices
committed to his care and now
lives in Kosciusko; and, from his
healthy looking face, has many
years of his lease Of life still ahead
OF him. He made good sheriff;
and may be ready to lay himself
again upon the altar Of his politi-
cal faith if his friends require him
to do so.
DANIEL LAFAYETTE sMgTHE,

was as kindin his Office lYtiaa.as-
any sheriff who respected his oath
and the welfare Of the public.
He was elected by the voters of
Attala county in 1887 to the legis-
lature. He faithfully discharged
the duties committed to his care;
and has shown by his administra-
tion Of the Office of sheriff that he
possesses a sympathetic heart, re.
sponsive to the sorrows of suffer.
ing humanity. He was the DEM
ocratic nominee in 1885 for sheriff;
but from one Of those unaccounta-
BILE freaks that has influenced the
voters Of Attala county at more
than one general election, they re-
fused on the day of the election in
1885 to ratify what they had de-
clared at the primary election was
their purpose to do. IfMr. Smytne
had been guilty Of any'great wrong
after he had been nominated or if
he had been guilty of any before
he was nominated and it had been
discovered afterwards. then there
would have been a justifiable
cause; but as neither of these had
occurred after his nomination it is
a reproach upon us, and just
ground for the charge against us
of being unfaithful to our political
pledges.
DAVID +. LOVE,
a Democrat, was elected sheriff of
Attala county in 1891. He was a
resident of Beat 3 when elected. |
He is the present incumbent and
will hold the Office until the close
of the year 1895, and will, il he
lives to the end of his term, have
been sheriff four years. He will
not be eligible to succeed himself.
He has thus far made Il good sher-
iff IN the eye of the law; but q very
bad sheriff in the eyes Of evil
doers. He has had to contend +
with some very trying and un-
pleasant happenings during his
administration. By virtue of his
office he has had to lay bare and
discover some ofthe foulest deeds
