BOWIE COUNTY PRIMARY.

The following candidates are
known to have received enough
votes to nominate them for their
respective offices, in Saturdays
primaries:
Sheppard carried the county over
Hodges by from 800 to 700.
The race for representative, is a
close one there being four caudi-

thought that H. c. Hyson is the
winner though,
Armstead for foater carried the
county by a rousing majority oyer
Schluter.
Stanley Edwards will get the
sherif's place, having carried most
all the boxes IN the county by good
big majorities.
Wilson the present district clerk
and King the present county clerk
we're without opposition and Of
course received the vote.
For tax collector, there were
three candidates lin the field, from
different parts of the county and it
will take an official count to deter
mine who will win. The race is
between Dean and Battle.

rer's race over his opponent.
Watlington for Assessor, it is
thought, will pull through by a
close margin,
Gus Henry will be our next JUS
tice of the peace, and Rochelle our
constable,
The ticket Is all right so far as
competency and good men are con-
cerned, but there are a lot Of long
termers on the ticket that we could
have wished to see give away to
some other competent, deserving
citizens as they, They may get

regard to enlarging the capacity
of several lakes in your system,
M personal inspection of the

strongly recommend this enlarg-
ment, with this in view. l would
respectfully suggest an assess
ment of five per cent, be called

purpose. The other suggestions
named by your Sup't- are worthy
OF your careful consideration.

dition of the company, your new

require an assessment of ten

advise the stockholders to vote
for the assessment at this meet

thority TO call for same in two
