MR.. J. d. COUCH.
Phillipsburg, Kansas.
Dear SiF:-I have known Mr.. J. T.
Hill, the gentleman of whom you ask,
for number Of years, during which
time he was student in our school
at Logan for nearly two years. AS a
student Mr.. Hill finished almost the
whole course, common and high school,
Snd regard him as we'll qualified for
any position which he might seek or
be called upon TO fill.
1 have always found him trusty,
honest and thorough. So far as !
know or have been able to learn, his
character has been and is above re-
pr0ach.
Trusting that you will regard this
in the same light as asked for.
l an very truly,
f. Il. BAKER.

A strong Recommendatlon.

The following correspondence is
self-explanatory. Since Mr.. Hill, at
the time of his nomination for clerk
of the district court was not so widely
acquainted over the county as most of
the other nominees, we asked and OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Couch permission to
print his letter and the reply. Prof
Baker is SO well-known all over the
county as one of the very best educa-
tors and most conscientious men of
this part of the state, that his opinion
on matter of this kind is the very
best that can be had.
Phillipsburg, Kan. Sep. 13, 1902.
PROF. E. H. BAKER.
Long Island, Kansas.
Dear Sir:-Knowing that you are
well acquainted with j. T. Hill of
Logan who was recently nominated
for clerk of the district court L take
the liberty of asking you concerning
his qualifications both as to his
scholarship and character. A reply
will be greatly appreciated as l want
to be able to vote intelIigently on the
candidate for that Office.
Yours Respectfully.
