Elswhere our readers will find the
announcement of Thos. McMurry as
a candidate for Trustee ofthe county,
subject to the action Of the republican
party.
Mr.. McMurry, is the son of an ex-
federal soldier, and was born and
raised in this county. In the past he
has served as County Surveyor and
gave the best of satisfaction. His
plats and reports on his surveys were
models of neatness and accuracy.
He has also done work in nearly all
of the county Offices and at present is
deputy Circuit Court Clerk and all OF
his work has been commendable.
He is a young man of integrity and
is liked best by those who know him
best. He is a ''hustler" and will un.
doubtedly run a good race and should
he be the nominee of the republican
party he will creditably discharge the
duties.

Ben Cunningham,

In this. issue is, the announcement
Of Major Ben Cunningham as can
didate for the republican nomination
for Clerk of the County Court 1t is
entirely needless for us to write any
long article about Major Ben, as he
has served the people in the Office to
which he asks to be re, elected so long
that everybody in the county knows
him and knows how well qualified he
is. He knows absolutly everything
there is to know about the duties Of
the office and the records could no,
be kept cleaner or better. We know
this as we almost every week have
occasion to look them over for some
items of interst to our readers.
He is an ex-union soldier, having
served as Major in the 3rd Tennessee
Cavalry and all his comrades testif.
to his splendid record as defende
Of his country. He is also life.lonI
republican, and genial gentleman
whose delight seems to be in servin
the people faithfully and well.
We can honestly say that no ma
could make better Clerk, and tn
republican party honors itself by gi,
ing the county such off GERS.

A. M. Rule.

In another place you will find
the announcement of A. M. Rule,
as a candidate for Sheriff, subject to
the action of the republican party.
1t is useless, almost, for us to
say anything to the people of Bloun'
County about Mr.. Rule. Every
body is acquainted with him as he
has served as Sheriff some time
back and lately as Trustee. While
serving the County, it is said by
many that he Accommodated more
men than any man who has held an
Office in the county. Many men
owe the possession of their homes to
him and Of course will be eager to
vote for him.
He made one of the very best
Sheriffs the county ever had and
during his term as Trustee he
handled and properly accounted for
more money than did any other
Trustee in the past and more than
any will ever handle in the future.
He is genial, whelesouled and
has wonderful hold on the people.
if he is the luckey man all will
feel satisfied that the county has as
good a Sheriff as there is in any
County.

Editor Times:-It has come to nv
knowledge that certain persons are
circulating rumors concerning my
pastor, Rev. w. A. Ferrell, which
connect him with the sorrow that has
come to my home.
l am constrained to say, that with
all the facts before me, my pastor has
no connection in any way, with the
sin that has darkened my home, and
crushed my heart. In all these dark
and trying hours, he has been my
pastor, and my friend, a true and
courageous servant Of Jesus Christ.

DIsrILLERY CATTLE AT PEORIA.

Before the close Of the present month GAO
cars of distillery-fed cattle will have been
shipped East from Peoria for export This
statement in itself is enough to show that
there is great activity in the great feeding
barns at the several distilleres In selecting
the stock that is in prime condition for

| of the city to make room for the very lean
cattle that to be fattened
1t has been within the past few days that
these shipments began. aid between thirty
and forty carloads have already gone forth
The larger consignments will be made from
now on, however. The shipments thus far
have been over the Rock Island road, and it
| is understood that nearly all are to be made
over that line this year. The Chicago roads
are given this business alternatively, as a
rule.
Nelson Morris & Co., representing the dis
tilleries of the American Spirits Manufacture
ing company, have the largest shipments to
make. This concern will require $40 cars.
Doud & keefer, representing the Independent
houses. have 120 carloads to send out.
The cattle that are now bound Eastward
for export are those that were brought here
from Texas for feeding purposes at the be-
ginning of the distilling season last year.
and the time usually required for getting
them into fit condition for killing is paSt.
The finer specimens shipped first, but soon
they will all be loaded Unfortunately and
hurried away
There are already some receipts of the
Texas brand to take the place Of those that are
being shipped. Thirty-three carloads were
received few days ago and are row living On

FROM THE RANGES.
The following from the Breeders Gazette
indicates fairly the conditions existing On
the ranges:
Reports from nearly all of the Northwest
range sections are all to the effect that the
frequent rains Of May and June were never
better for stockmen and If the grasses only
cure up properly there will not only be early
beef. but good beef.
Reports from the roundup now in progress
on the Pierre range point to the fact thai
the losses will not aggregate l per cent. The
calf crop is immense and is estimated by those
who haye been buying in other sections o.
the cattle country to be at least Is per cent
greater than for any other range state in the
Union. The sheepmen, as well as cattlemen,
are jubilant over the outlook this year. They
report their focks coming through in first
class shape.

low. California fruits, particularly, are COM
ing forward in good supply and in good con-

'ceived during the week, but not in as good
shape as that from California. Waterme ons
and cantelopes are in good supply and ex-

fruit are so extremely low that ii it were

holiday period and prices were strong.
