Mr.. ]. f. Alderman attended to
various duties at Merrill, Vernal and
other points in the southern end of the
county.
Mrs. McLain and Miss Mamie McLaiu,
of Adamsvlle, mother and sister of Mrs.
Il. j. Greene, visited in the latters family
last week
Mr.. Will Thomas, of Verna,, was in
our town last week, fixing up papers of
his resignation from Justice of Peace of
his beat.
Easter services were held at the NJ. e.
Church on the first Sunday of this
month, Rev. II. B. Vandenburg conducted
the services. The Church was resplen-
dent with wreaths and bright colored
spring blossoms and buds intertwned
The decoration reflected credit upon our
young people who took this matter in
hand.
We unintentionally failed to mention
in our last issue the departure of Miss
Dot Lowrey for Blue Montain Miss.
Miss Dot has been visiting in the family
of her sister, Mrs E. w. Breland, for
sever months past. aud while here
made many warm friends who regret her
leaving.
Mr.. E. w. Breland is having the APP
pearance of his dwelling greatly enhanc-
ed by coating of paint. Mr.. Mark
Lowrey is doing the brush-slinging act
for him. We have it from good authority
that Mr. j. J. McInnis is going to have
some repairing done to his hotel and
then encase it in coating of paint. Let
the good work go-on.
BY reference to the proper column in
this Issue it will be seen that w. w
Valley, who is from the northern end of
the comfy, has placed himself in the
hands of the votersto be sat down upor
or elected to the office of Sheriff and
Tax-Collector. Strong in physique and
intellect, something of "patriarch" in
his community, widely acquainted and
connected throughout the county, and
prominent in politics, Mr. Valley is a
man that you can bet on giving the other
aspirants to this important positions of
trust warm race. If chosen to serve
us in this capacity, we predict that Mr..
VALLEY viii give four years. of good ser
aice, for ne is man that will discharge
the duties of his office promptly,
fearlessly, and advantageously to the
county and its citizens.

am glad to see our old clerk step to the

That he will never be uprooted from the

admirably, for dou't think that the voters

of the county ia strange hands when the
old and Trustworthy standby is waiting
the movements of the solid majority Of
our county to reharuess him into the
shafts where he has done such noble
service, and your humble servant, the
writer, feels constrained to say that he
will In the future, rs heretofore do hon

seem to have any effect on the modern
candidate. now, otherwise than to make
them step out into the ring somewhat
sooner thar usual, In fact, it seems to
agree with them so well that they must
announce that they are here even though
they may not be in it in the hereafter.
wen IL seems we are in for it again.
Another election, and think the voters
should be very careful in voting. Selec
ting from the ranks of the candidates
such men as they think will do their dutv
III Jealous manner regardless Of person
al gain, men who will not shirk duty ON
account of personal feeling and Of public
OpiopioG, men who W nj serve tie r,,.,pi.,
and try to do something for their
benefit. The people Of Greene county
should lay aside all personal enmity and
malice and vote for the man that thew
think most suitable for the office. But
an some cases, votes in local elections
are Influenced by perfonal feelings. They
don't care whether man is competent
or not if they like him better than one
who is competent. That is not the way
good intelligent citizen should vote.
| They should vote for the man that thew

such men regardless of personal feelings.
If people would vote on this line thev
