For House of Delegates:
WILLiAM 3. sPRATT.
OUR NOMINEE FoT SENATE.

The Republicans of this Senatorial
district, in their convention held at Cedar
Bluff last Friday, nominated DR.. Robert
c. Meade, of Russell county, as theirc andi-
date for the State Senate. From what We
have seen and heard of DR.. Meade the
choice is good one. He is man Of unu-
sually fine personal appearance, OF sterling
integrity and considerable intellectual
force. DR.. Meade was born and raised at
Bluegrass, Russell county, is the son Of
Mr.. W. r. Meade, well-to-do farmer,
and is now thirty years old. He has been
Republican ever since he became voter,
and is well posted in party doctrines. Nearly
all his life has been spent as toiler on the
farm. BY his industry made the money
with which he secured his education, and
is to some extent self made man. He is
pre-eminently aman of the people. About
six years ago he completed his profession
al education, graduating therein with dis
tinction. He located at Bluegrass, land has
acquired lucrative practice among the
people with whom he has been associated
all his life This shows that he is a man
of force and character, for it is well
established fact that men in all professions
are more likely to succeed among strangers.
DR.. Meade did not seek the nomination,
but accepted it at the urgent request OF
friends, and because Of his devotion to the
party As our candidate he will make q
brave and successful fight. He is a poor
young man, who did not inherit money
bags and has not yet been able to accum-
ulate much of this worlds goods; but with
the gallant Republicans of the third Sena-
torial district standing unitedly for him he
will be sure to win in November.
Let no Republican falIer, let every one
in the district go to work and Meade will
be triumphantly elected.
