Notice.

No one appreciates the honor and esteem of his friends and fel- low -townsman more than 1 but since my name was placed on both municipal tickets last week in op- position to my wishes, having urged my friends not to do this, and in consideration of the fact that I have obligations other than my own business affairs, under which 1 feel the greatest responsi- bility, must decline to have my name on either ticket. Assuring my friends that 1 am heartily thankful for the value they place upon me and that 1 take this ac ton solely because I feel it my du- ty ill justice to my other obliga- tions. Yours Thankfully,

Municipal Tickets.
We generally have a lively time


 in this city over the annual cleo ton for city officers. No matter how quiet everything looks day before the primary election or con vention, things always warm up and only few hours are necessary for the warming.
 A primary election was called by the Democratic Central Committee of the town to be held at the office of J. A. Pence March IS. About the middle of that afternoon a meet ing was called to be held at the court house that night.
 The ticket nominated by the Democratic primary election at Fences office was F.. A. Bolton, Mayor; w. H. Martin, Recorded; Sam Frauenthal, w. w. Martin, G. D. Dickerson, s. E. Anderson and w. D. Cole, jr., for Aldermen. This ticket received 70 votes. The Democratic town central committee selected to serve for the ensuing year was composed of w. B. Will son, J. F, Campbell and J. w. Un- derhill.
 That night those. opposing the above named ticket met at the court house and after speeches by J. E. Martin and G. w. Bruce nominated the following ticket: s. E. Anderson, Mayor; w. H. Martin, Recorder; w. T. Piercey, M. Walthal, Bruce Bullion, C. J. Hamilton, J. F. Thines, Aldermen.
 The issue between those two tickets is about this: A short time ago the town council and repre- sentatives of the council purchased the electric light plant, which for sometime had been owned and op- erated by corporation. The first ticket nominated and headed by Col. Bolton endorses the action of the council in buying the plant while the last ticket is opposed to it.
 The town has levied fve-m mill tax on the real estate of the town to pay the purchase price of the plant. Just how the independent ticket if elected could keep from paying for the plant has not been explained. Some have said they would sell 1t at anything they could get, while others say the charter of the town would be sur rendered and responibility for the debt could be evaded in that way. A majority of the business men who pay the bulk of the taxes sup port the first ticket and endorse the action of the council i'll buying the plant. The plant has always made expenses including repairs, so it is said. Many of our best fnanciers say it will be fine investment tor the town. Those who owned the plant were on the point of moving 1t because they expected greater profits elsewhere, and the town was forced either to buy it or be with out lights. As the men who own the real estate will pay the taxes and as most of these men are will ing to pay them, and as the men who do not own real estate will probably not object to the mer- chants paying for the plant and lighting the streets, the ticket headed by MT. Bolton will proba- ply win easily.

When seen at his home in West End-ave. last
evening Mr. Bonner declined to discuss the re-
port in detail. He practically admitted, how
ever. that such plan under discussion. but
said that information regarding it must come
from Washington.
Mr.. Bonner was born in Ireland on June IA.
1899 and came to the United States in 1913.
In 1865, when seventeen years old. he Joined
the old Volunteer Fire Department, and ran

In 1861 he was made assistant foreman Of
the company. becoming its foreman in lS65.
In 1860 the legislature passed the act estab-
fishing the present department. and Bonner
was appointed foreman and assigned in Sep
tember of that year TO Engine Company No. 10
While acting in this capacity he operated the
first self-propeng fire engine and chemical
engine ever used in the department.
In May, 1873. ne was made Chief of Battalion
and assigned to the Second District. in which
were many of the drygoods and other large
mercantile houses. He became Second Assistant
Chief in 1883, and year later First Assistant
Chief.
In 1889 he reached the highest rung in the
ladder he had been climbing many years.
