We note that our old friend Chas.
Stephens is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for County
Clerk, of Mcdonald county, Mis-

cerned, we doubt if any better man
could be found for the position.

county will make no mistake in nom
mating and electing Mr.. Stephens
to the Office of county clerk of that
county. We have known him per-
sonally for the past IA years, and
know him to be thoroughly qualified
in every particular for the position
he seeks. He was a teacher in this
county for several years and always
held first grade certificate. His
old friends here would be pleased to
see him land the position.
