the spare moments that he studied
law and was admitted to the bar in
December 1889, and on his return
to Logan he occupied the Office
with Judge Wright. Later he
formed partnership with @. ".
Wright, which firm still stands as
Wright q Petit, one OF the best in
our county. In 1895, in the great
campaign of the people, Mr.. Petit
was elected Prosecuting Attorney
of Hooking County by majority
of over 500, and how well he has
filed the position the people have
entrusted to him, the good citizen
has observed and the criminal class
have felt. He has had laborious
first term of Office. The last three
years haye been frought with
heavy cases In criminal'cOurts, and
the observing public have been the
best witnesses to the marked abil-
ity Mr.. Petit has shown as GRIM
inal lawyer. He has been vigor-
Gus prosecutor, never shirking a
duty, but always tileless in his ef-
forts to support the dignity of the
state and bring the wrong doer to
just punishment. During his term
of Office he mas prosecuted over 100
cases, sent over 80 criminals to the
work house, 10 TO the penitentiary
and collected over $4,000 of fines
costs, etc. for the county Z. He has
lost but six cases indicted by
grand juries in his term. His rec
ord is marvel of success. and his
eternal persuance Of the wrong
dOer has made serious criminal
cases very scarce in this county.
The church disturber and the petty
thief have met such TRADE at his
hands that such cases are getting
few and far between. He is the
right man In thes<place and the
people know it and will return him
with an increased majority this
fall.

Falls Mil stand, and did a good

The old mill was a great stopping

jolly word for everybody, and
good cheer to all. He will make
one of the best clerks we have ever
had. His thorough education In

ELIGIBILITY OF A sHsRIFF
The Elkton correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun says, "The eligibility of Cecil
county's Democratic Sherifelect has been
questioned. The point involves nice issue
relative to residence Price was elected BY
plurality of $50 votes. He was born and
raised in the lower part of the county, but
went West in 1884, returning to Cecil three
years ago. The law requires that a person
must be resident of a county for at least
five consecutive years to be eligible to the
Office Of sheriff, and hence the opposition
claims Price cannot legally assume charge
of the Office to which he has been elected.
On the other hand, the sheriff elect says
that during his stay out of Cecil county he
never voted and always claimed Cecil as
his permanent home. Some claim the
next highest candidate, the Republican
nominee, should be declared sheriff elect,
while others claim the Governor should
make the appointment or new election be
held.
