R..S .SRELBI.

Mr John H. Shelby, of Niven township, today places his name be- fore the Democratic voters Of Jeffer- son county as a candidate for re- election to the officer of Tax Asses sor. Mr. Shelby is an industrious farmer, and has never before sought or held office. During his single term he has earnestly endeavored to make the tax payers of this coun- tv an honest and effcent tax asses l sor, and seeks endorsement and re- election at their hands. During his term of office no complaint has been lodged against him. which is due, no doubt, to the fact that he has given his personal attention to and em, ployed intelligent and efficient dep uties in the discharge of the duties of his office. Should he be re-nomi- mated and reelected he promises to give the public the same intelligent and efficient service for another term as during the past.

FOB CIRCUIT GLERK.

Our readers will find in today GRAPHIC the announcement of Mai.
 H. A. Mccoy as a candidate for re- election to the office of Circuit Clerk
 and Recorder of Jefferson county.
 Thore is, perhaps, not citizen of this county better known to the un- terrified Democracy of old Jefferson than Maj. Mccoy; therefore he needs no introduction at our hands, Two years ago he was nominated and elected Circuit Clerk of the county on the straight Democratic ticket, and during his tenure of office he has made a most capable, efficient and obliging officer. Should he be reelected he will no doubt serve the people of the county as capably and eourteously in the future as in the past, and continue to give satisfae- ton to the many patrons of his de eaFtment of the county government.
