Chriftmas Number of Tho DeIlneator.

The Democrat has been favored with d
copy Of the Christmas number of The
Delineator, which is also the Thirtieth
Anniversary number. To do justice to
this number, which for beauty and utili-
ty touches the highest mark, it would be
necessary to print the entire list Of con-
tents. 1t is sufficient to state that in it
the best modern writers and artists are
generously represented. The book con-
tains over 23O pages, with "a full page
illustrations, of which 20 are in two or
more colors. The magnitude Of this
December number, for which 72S tons of
paper and six tons Of ink have been. used,
may be understood from the fact that 81
presses, running IA hours per day, have
been required to print it: the binding
alone Of the edition of 915, 200 copies
representing over 2O,00o,O00 secrions
which had to be gathered individually
by human hands.

New Announcements.
FOR SHERIFF..

In response to the many fattering
calls recently made upon him to become
acandidate for sheriff, Mr.. j. w. Davis has
consented to allow his name to go be-
fore the Democratic voters OF the county,
and has an, announcement in this issue
of The Democrat. Mr.. Davis is one OF
the sterling citizens of second judicial
district, man of integrity and unfaling
courage-the type of man to make a
capable peace officer, and one in whose
hands the duties of office would be Justly
administered to all alike. At present he
is serving as magistrate Of the third
district, in which capacity he has given
general satisfaction. Mr.. Davis has a
large following, not only on the main
line, but throughout the county-at large,
and will prove a strong candidate.
FOR TREASURER.
In this issue appears the name of that
popular and genial gentleman, Mr.. John
L. Gill, as candidate for the Office OF
county treasurer Perhaps no man in
the county is better known than Mr..
Gill. He is one of the pioneer citizens OF
Bolivar and for years has been III close
touch with the public. AS assessor he
served with zeal and ability, and should
the voters honor him with their prefer
ence in this race, it 10 safe to say he
w5,sld prove capable custodian Of the
public funds. Mr.. Gill numbers his
friends and supporters by the score in
all sections of the county; he is popular
with all classes, and will make strong
race. Touching his candidacy, the Cleve-
land Enterprise pays Mr.. Gill the follow
ing high but we'll merited compliment,
which will be echoed by all who know
him:
"In campaign where fitness is recog-
nized and where fidelity to trust is
weighed in the minds of the voters, no
candidate for any office will outrank Mr..
Gill; By reason of his long service in
and about the various offices of the coun-
ty and his minute knowledge of the de-
Calls pertaining thereto, he ismore nearly
qualified, perhaps, than any other man
to fully discharge the dhties of county
office involving clerical accuracy and
knowledge of details incident thereto.
Mr.. Gill is personally known to the citi-
zens of the county and possesses the
confidence and regard Of all. He is a
splendid type ofthc southern gentleman,
Courteous, kind and considerate, loyal to
his friends and his trusts, honest and
honorable in all matters, and the treas
urer's books of Bolivar county could not
pass into worthier or safer hands"
