Sam NJ. Owens. who made an excel
, lent jailer, has fairly won his promo
tion To the office of sheriff, to when h,
will soon accede. He is honest, firm
!, courageous, faithful to duty and untir
ing in energy, and he will prove a ter
ror to evil doors. \ tremendous effort
Is being made to defeat him, but it is
not written that it will be successful,
even If the republicans have put up
their best man against him. The dem
ocrats know Sam Owens worth as "a
man aud as an officer and will see TO IL
that he Is the next sheriff of Lincoln
county.
George w. DeBord. the gallant old
Confederate soldier. who gets no PEN
sion and asks nothing more than a
chance to earn an honest living by his
own eXertious, has been endorsed for
reelection to the Office of jailer, which
he is filling with signal credit and
care. We do not know much about

Garland Singleton is somewhat ham

the duty of the democrats to see that
she is defeated as any other whose |
name appears under the log cabin. Mr..
Singleton is well educated and well |
equipped for the Office of superintend- |
ent OF schools and will bring to the dis
charge of its duties mind and heart
thoroughly in sympathy with public
school demands and the cause of edu-
cation generally.

next assessor. is in every way better
suited for the position than his oppo-

perience in business and his methods
insure prompt, full and complete as
'essment of the taxable property of the
county. The republicans have named
a man against him, more to suit the
locality than his fitness for the place.
and as the Office is a most important
one, the tax payers will see that Mr..
Baker. who is eminently fitted for the =
business, is chosen to do the work.
Willard f. North, who carries our
standard for representative, would do
credit to the county in the halls of Leg
