CARD OF THANKS.

To the Citizens and Voters of Benton County:
Through the columns of THE CHRoN-
IoLE wish to thank my friends for the
support given me-not only in the late
primary, but for the support you have
given me in the past. Although thrice
defeated, I shall always feel proud and
thankful, too, for the vote which l have
always received, as I have always been
next to the successful man. Not only to
those who voted for me do I feel CRATE
full, but also to the ladies and little girls
who so kindly made me welcome in their
homes and who so cheerfully provided
me with meals during the canvass and
the little boys who so willingly cared for
my horse; owe them a lasting debt OF
gratitude.
While / feel thankful to those who
voted for me, I assure you that feel no
i'll will toward any one who voted for
any one of my opponents; perhaps many
of you voted for me in some former race,
for which I shall ever feel thankful.
Now in conclusion, want to sayto the
boys who went up Salt River with How
ard and myself, l can sympathize with
you; know that we would make good
officers, but as all of us can not get an
office, let us rally around the banner in
Che hands of the gallant G.. w. e. Her
rim and sing that good old song that we
heard in the memorable days of 1862
Rally around the flag, boys,
Rally once again;
Shout, shout the battle cry
Vote for Herrin and Ernest Fry,
Rally around the flag, boys,
Rally once again.
w. @. BENTON.
