 As the local stock Jaw seems to be the question of paramount in terest to our people at this time, 1t might be good idea for the Cen tral Committee to submit the ques- tion of "stock-law" or "no stock law to the electors at the Pri- mary election. This move would relieve the candidates, at least, of some embarrassment.
 Mr. M. G. Peebles, of Lacy, an- nounees for Assessor in today s paper. Mir. Peebles has held this office before and is perfectly famil- jar with its work. He made the county good Assessor at one time, and if elected will do so again. He will see the people and | lay his claims before them. and will most kindly appreciate any favors shown him. We will say, for him, that he is a deserving man and one worthy of the support of the voters in the election.
 A l. Shell wanted to attend a party, but was afraid to do so on account of pains in his stomach, which he feared would grow worse. He says, "I was telling ny troubles to lady friend, who said; "Chamberlain's Colic, Chol- era and Diarrhea Remedy will put you in condition for the party. 1 bought bottle and take pleas ure in stating that two doses cured me and enabled me 10 have il good time at the party" Mr. Shell is a resident of Summer Hill, N. Y. This remedy is for sale by Brown, McQuiston & Go.
 Mr. M. H. Owens, who lives 4 miles North of this city, announces to day as a candidate for Assessor of Drew county. MT Owens is one of our oldest and best known citizens, being born and reared in a quarter of mile of where he now lives. He is s years old, and nev- CT before asked the people for q public office, and further, be it said to his credit as peaceable and law abiding citizen, never had d case Tn court. He is fair-minded man, and if elected, will fill the of flee to the best of his ability. We ask that consideration of his claims, at the hands of the voters, which a i good citizen deserves.
