lie is a large taxpayer and has always
manifested a lively interest in county
affairs, and his fitness for this office,
which is n of the most important in
the county, cannot for a moment be
questioned. His election will be a sure
guarantee OF a just and economical ad-
ministration of our county affairs during
the period of his incumbency. Don't
fail to cast your ballot for \. S. Tubbs

ASSESSOR.
Ollie Martin is the nominee for re.
election to the Office of county assessor.
Mr.. Martin has been highly compli.
mented for the very efficient name in
which he performed his official duties
during his present appointed term, and
it is openly declared, and not without
reason, that he is the most efficient
officer that has ever served the county
in this capacity. The Office is one of
more than ordinary importance, and
should not be entrusted to incompetents.
therefore the election of Mr.. Martin.
who has SO clearly demonstrated his
capabillty, is important, and should be
accomplished.
CoUNTY CORONER.
DR.. r a. Calkins, a resident of this
city, is a candidate for county coroner.
lie is competent and capabable to die
charge the duties involved, and should
receive the full party vote.
Speaking of the candidates collective
ly, they are exceptional in their general
merit and special fitness for the re-
spective positions for which they have
been selected, and We earnestly hope
that no republican will mar a single
name with the condemnatory scratch of
a pencil, but that every name may be
endorsed by a ballot representing the
full strength Of the party. Vote right
at the republican target by placing a
cross in the circle at the top of the
ballot.

REGISTER OF Z

For the office of Register of deeds,
P. d. Darby, the present incumbent,
was nominated ny reclamation. Con-
corning his excellent qualifications for
the discharge of the duties pertaining
to this important position, it would seem
almost like the merest waste of words
to speak, the fact being 81 proverbial
throughout the county. Mr.. Darby's
rare clerical ability has been a theme of
much favorable comment, and the r.
pidity and creditable manner with
which he performs the duties Of his
office will bear favorable comparison
with any officer in the state holding a
similar position. Mr.. Darb, is genial
and obliging, especially attentive to his
official duties, thoroughly accurate in his
calculations and a perfect master Of
every detail of his official duties. The
voter will make no mistake who casts
his ballot for p. ID. Darby for Register
deeds.

COUNTY SURVEYOR.

T. Y. Grantham, a popular young man,
who enjoys the esteem Of all his ac-
quaintances, is the candidate for county
surveyor. That he is highly competent
to perform the important duties of the
office, is shown by the work he has
performed since his ele tior to the
position two years ago. There has been
no word Of complaint Of his official con.
duet, his services which have been quite
extensive. have in all instances been
marked by the highest satisfaction, and
he is fairly worthy of reelection upon
his conceded merits.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
For county commissioners for the first
and second districts, Theophilus George,
and y. s. Tubbs, respectively. are the
nominees. Mr.. George, with whom our
acquaintance is somewhat limited, is
spoken Of in the highest terms by his
acquaintances, who do not hesitate to
vouch for his ability to discharge the
duties Of the Office faithfully and we'll,
hence we can but conclude that it would
be entirely safe for the voters of his dis
trict to give him their support.
Mr.. Tubbs is one of our most promi-
nent and highly respected citizens. He
is an old resident, and has contributed
largely to the upbuilding of the county.
