That everything comes to him who waits
was perhaps never better illustrated than in
the case Of Hon VIM. Henry Glover. A
few years ago Henry was not cutting much
ice IN politics, but at present he seems to
have charge Of the entire ice plant lie has
carefully placed in cold storage Hon. Jno
p. Jones, Col. j. ID. Rigg, Squire T.. -.
Benson, h. f. Burke, Sam. Black Lee,
Burbridge iralcy, Thos. B. Jackson and
others, with more to follow. Al the present
time no man can get the Republican nomina-
iioa for any Office in Preston county without
the Endorsement Of Hon. VIM. II. Glover.
Ask Senator Lanham, Julius Scherr and
Prof Candy if this is not true

the mistake Of antagoniling Glover and some

Hill and doesn't hesitate to say so.
Il begins TO look as though Jim Lenhart
will be the next Sheriff, although Bob Hollis
was Gloyers choice, but since Bob has dropp-

to lcl I.enhart have IT, lie don't like him

he owned about all Of the level land in the
State, in other words that he feels too large
