Speaking Of thes working of the coming
republican county convention, the Corunna
Journal says: "There will probably be but
one candidate before the convention and
that is the present incumbent, Ora L.
Bristol. Mr.. Bristol has made an ideal
officer rs his heart has been IN the work.
his great aim has been for the advance
ment of the common schools and his work
has been earnest and intellgently directed.
Where such motive animates an officer
the results are good and can be easily
discerned. There is no question but that
the county schools are In q more prosper
GUS condition,:than they were two years
ago. Mr.. Bristol has. considered no sacri-
fee too great, no labor to hard TO accomplish
this advancement. As partial reward for
his best service he will receive unanimous
denomination and will undoubtedly be re-
elected by deserved increased majority"
