Rather Misleading.

On Monday last the commissioners of
the town of Henderson elected Mr.. A. G..
Daniel, of our town, their Chief of Police
and this without his knowledge, con-
sent or presence. This was indeed a
high compliment to our friend, and We
congratulate him. Furthermore, as it's
election the first Monday in May, Hen
derson elected Mr. Dick Switzerland, an
other Warren boy, mayor. The citizens
OF that town are wide awake and level
headed, and know where to look for the
| best material for their officials.-War-
renton Gazette.
1t must not be inferred from the
| above that Henderson has to go from
home to get men to fill her offices.
There is no dearth of official material
close at hand nor is there any difficult
ty in finding plenty who are willing to
sacrifice themselves on the altar of
duty-with salary attached.
Mr.. Daniel is a citizen OF Henderson,
a property owner and tax payer,

Mr.. Switzerland, while native OF
Warren county, has been resident OF
Henderson the past ten years, and in
his case it did not require any looking
abroad for the material to fill the office
he was elected to.
Because Warrenton's honorable
Mayor formerly lived in Durham, il

II was 10 when Sullivan and Shar-
key were seen coming down from the
dressing room. The big fellow almost
hid the eX-sailor. who followed behind,
robed In grey bath robe. Sullivan was
greeted with a terrific round Of applause
as usual. He was hog fat. his abdomen
hanging in q fold over the waistband
of his trunks. Sharkey was decided
contrast. when he threw off his bath
robe and stood in bright green trunks,
with belt of the national colors. At

men. John l.. was again greeted with
a salvo of cheers, while Sharkey was
more moderately applauded. The
crowd insisted on a speech, and John.

Il am come here to spar an exhibition

young man is ambitious and trying to
reach the top of the ladder. l am only

around the big fellow, whose attempts
