Mr.. Bennett ami Mr.. Travis have
formed a partnership for the practice
of law and to carry on general real
estate, loan, insurance and pension
BUSINESSMAN arrangement which
gives lola a strong and a certainly
successful firm. They have rented
the front corner room over COutant's
hardware store, where they are ready
to receive their friends.

1t is perhaps not safe to brag about
a man who is just putting on his
armor as you might about one who,
after a good fight, was laying it off.
But we run little risk: in predicting
that Grant Billbe will distinguish
himself in the office of County Super
intendent. A good education, ex-
perience in teaching, ambition, en-
ergy, discretion, industry, good
health, good character-these are the
things that go to the making of a good
superintendent; and Mr.. Billie has
them all. He cannot fail.
So
That Mr.. Miller will make a model
District Clerk goes without saying.
Many years of clerical experience in
that most exscting of all places, the
cashiers desk of a bank, has confirm
ed in him habits of neatness, method
and accuracy that insure his conduct
of his present Office to be above COM
plant, while his faculty of good fell
lowship insures his personal popular
ty.

Mr.. Ritter, has achieved the dis
tinction of being the first POpu-
list to hold county office in
Allen County. He has been practis-
ing law for a number of years and
has held the confidence of large
number of clients. That he has
friends outside of his own party is
sufficiently shown by his election and
he assumes the duties of his new office
with general good wishes for his sue
cess. The REGISTER joins in these
good wishes and will give Mr.. Ritter
the same support in his efforts to en-
force the law that it would give a
Republican incumbent of the office.
~
Mr.. James Lockhart who succeeds
Mr.. Ard in the office of County COM
missioner, is also "off color" political
ly, being an old time Democrat
but he must be mighty good man
or he never could have got more votes
than Newt. Ard. He comes with a
good reputation as a business man
and a citizen, and will doubtless serve
the county well.
