r A. Kent, candidate for probate
Judge, is we'll known to all the people
of the county. He has served two full
terms in this Office and the rasOn that
no one saught nomination for this Of
fee in the convention was that the fee
and salary bill, passed by the last leg
islature, limited the pay to fees only,
making the income from the Office so
small nobody wanted it. But Mr.. Kent
being in business in town could tend
TO the Office, so the nomination was
given to him. The "third term" OBJ
lection has no force in this case. Mr.
Kent is posted on all probate matters

HOyt Andrews, candidate for county
attorney, needs no introduction to the
voters Of this county. He served two
terms in this Office several years OgO,
but his successor in Office having also
served two terms, the "third term" OBJ

previous experience, rather, is a quail
ficstiOn more than an objection, and
makes him both an available and q
logical candidate. Vote for Andrews.

The Importance Of this election is,
doubtless, we'll understood by the
voters Of this county. Besides preferen-
&c for individual candidates, there viii
necessarily be a sharp rivalry, not only
to hold the ground already occupied,
b1t also to make gains wherever posi-
bic. 1t is a contest for political su-
premRcy. No pOpulist can for one
moment afford to be indifferent. Two
commissioners, (the most important is
