drifted ashore Monday near Amesbury, a

After penetrating as far south as this

of the setting sun made it mass of glow
ing red. Several venturesome persons
rowed around the berg but did not go
near, fearing the fall of fragments of ice.
The thermometer dropped to 400 at the

at the hotels kept the night clerks and
porters busy with demands for blankets
and.quilts. Tuesday morning the iceberg
weighed anchor and sailed away.

Sam A. Walker.

In this issue our readers will find the
announcement of Sam Walker asa can.
didate for a second republican nomi-
nation for the office Of Sheriff Mr..
Walker is an upright add honest man.
He is brave, true and has always
tried to do his duty to the people of
the county. Although sick for SO
many months soon after his election
his record as sheriff Of our county has
been a good one. His has been a
clean administration and at all times
he has tired to keep down the ex-
penses of the county. In one thing
has this been especially noticeable as
can be seen by examining the record;
that is in very few cases has there
been the cost of guard added to the
cost of capturing criminals, AS is
well known, in all cases, an officer
capturing a criminal is allowed pay
for guard in addition to his own pay.
As we said above, you will not find
this extra cost charged to the county
often during Sheriff Walkers term of
Office. All through his term ofoffice he
has only failed once to capture man
wanted by the county and this failure
was not due to auy negligence, or
non-performance of duty by him, as
he has made several honest trials.
Then he cannot justly be charged
with all Of this as the warrent was in
hands of the former sheriff year be-
fore Mr.. Walker came into Office.
Neither one can be justly criticised
under the circumstances. In con-
clusiop as Mr.. Walker has been faith
full to every trust during his first term
we can say without hesitation that
should his party see fit to again honor
him as its nominee he will be elected
and will serve the people in faithful
and acceptable manner.

Simeon Crlffits.

The subject of this sketch an
nounces as a candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for County Trustee
in thus issue. Mr.. Griffits is we'll and
favorably known all over this county
as man as honest and open as the
day. His integrity has never been
questioned by any man and the fact
that his neighbors all speak we'll of
him is greatly to his credit. He was
born and raised in this county, only
leaving old Blount when his county
called for all loyal sons to come to
her defense in her most critical hour.
Early in the winter of '6a he, with
several other true hearted sons of
East Tennessee, started across the
bleak mountains to join the Union
forces. Amid snow and ice they
toiled on and although lost, at one
time, for twelve hours and almost
frozen to death, still they would not
turn back when they knew their
country needed help. Reaching
indianapolis, Ind, there Mr.. Griffitts,
unable to get into Tennessee re-
giment, enlisted in an Indiana re-
giment and served his country faith
fully all through the dark hours Of
that terrible war. When it was over
he came back to his native county
and has lived since that time such a
life that no stain can be found upon
his record. Surly such a man de.
serves the confidence of the people
and he needs no words of praise
among those who know him, as his life
is better testimonial than words.
Such is the man that asks his party to
honor him with the nomination for
Trustee. We know the party can
trust the nomination in his hands and
/ no man would be more conscientious
in his efforts to faithfully and honestly
perform his duties.
