NOW FOR THE VOTING.

The Democrats and their fusion
allies are concluding campaign IN
which they are justified in feeling
confident of a glorious victory next
Tuesday. With all of the Demo
Gratis and one-fourth of the Re-
publicans working hand in hand
for a Joint ticket of the best men in
the county, it is merely a question
of mathematics. The fusion ticket
will win unless Democrats them
selves defeat it. The opposition is
divided, disorganized and demon
allied. They have had to spend
money like water to keep their own
forces in line and are relying for
success upon the free use of Doodle
on election day Laboring under
the disadvantage of being machine
made, and nominated by fraud, it
has been on the defensive from the
start,
Aggressive, confident and deter
mined, the fusion ticket is marching
on 10 victory.

NEXT SHERIFF.
Geo. B. Croft, Who Will Collect
Taxes For Four Years.
Represents the Good Republicans
Who Are Helping to Rid the
Comfy of Ring Rule.

Geo. b, Croft, the next sheriff oil
Christian county, is a prominent
farmer who lives near the city, on
the GAINESVILLE pike. Mr.. Croft is a
native of Crofton aud is a half
brother of the late James e. Croft,
who died few days ago.
Removed to this city about ten
years ago and after engaging in
business several years, bought the
farm upon which he now lives and
moved to it, He is a Republican,
but a man of conservative views,
high character and undoubted in
tegrity. When the high-handed
proceedings OF the Ring candidates
last winter aroused the reform ele-
ment OF the county, Mr.. Croft was
found on the side of the good people
of his party. He was rendered the
nomination for sheriff and accepted
the trust. He has made thorough
canvass for the place and has made
friends in all parts OF the county.
The indications point to his election
by a safe majority next Tuesday,
and he will make the county an ex-
cellent sheriff. A clear headed and
successful business man, an up.
right and honest gentleman and
prominent and useful citizen, the
people of the county will honor
themselves by electing him.

A Planters Views.

Brother Farmers: You all, for
the past two months, have heard
great deal from the middle meu
about the reggie and other contract
ors being combined against us
farmers. All think we have to do
is to not get scared before We are
hurt, more especially after we have
raised as fine crop of tobacco as
we have on hand this year My
advice is to stay at home and let
the buyer hunt you and you wont
regret taking my advice. l have
talked TO several men contractors
in regard to buying this crop of to-
bacco. They say they want our
tobacco and are willing to pay us a
good price. If that is true, can't
speak for the rest of you, but that
is the kind of monopoly have been
hunting for twenty years and / for
one welcome them in the field
Stand firm for price that will pay
you to raise the weed and if the
buyers don't pay, we can get to-
gether and reduce the acreage G
raising tobacco and if that don
work, we can quit entirely.
Yours truly,
J. G. CHILDREss.

DECIDED AGAINST COMPANY.
Damage Case Settled But Court Re.
opens 1t.

Dubuque, Nov. 11.-Judge Shiras, Of
the federal court handed down a de-
cision in a case of peculiar nature,
never up before in an Iowa court. A
year ago Lucy A. Wilcox, of
Toledo, a trained nurse by profession,
met with an accident while riding on
train on the Chicago. Milwaukee &
st. Paul road, and sometime after
ward the claim agent of the company
and the company's physician called on
her and effected a settlement, after
which she signed a release CT all
claims against the company. 1t ap-
peared in the testimony submitted to
Judge Shiras that the physician told
the woman that she would be laid up
for about year. but after that she
would be able to go about again. Her
injuries consisted of broken hip
bone, and on these statements the wo
man accepted 5000 and the company
paid all her doctor and nurse bills. But
now, after the expiration of the year
lit is found that Miss Wilcox is help
less invalid and will always remain so
being unaule to leave an invalid's
chair. The court. therefore. orders
that the release signed by the invano
woman be set aside, which will oper
up a new claim for damages against
/ the company.
