 A. M. Webb places his name before the democratic voters of Hickory town ship as a candidate for justice of the peace. subject to the primary March 26. MT. Webb filled that place acceptably one term some years ago and he thinks he is now even better qualified for the office than before. His recent misfor- tune in getting an arm broken has ren- dered him unable to follow his trade as carpenter and he will take 1t as great favor if his fellow democrats see fit to name him as one of their nominees for this office.

 Rice thinks he IS making a strong race in this county, considering the fact that it is MT. Naples home. He says that his county gave Naples great vote in bis first election and endorsed him for a second term, and in view of the fact that Benton has not had the office of public prosecutor but once in thirty years and coming he does as Benton's canddate, lie believes his claims are entitled to special consideration at the hands of the Carroll county voters. He says with the issues before the people of Benton this year, his county will poll in the coming primary $500 votes, of which his friends claim he will lose but a com- parative small per cent. He says tgoes without saying he will get at least 1000 in Washington and that his friends claim for him much larger vote there. These figures combined with a fair vote he feels sure he will get in Madison and Carroll he believes insures his election, MT. Rice is well recommended as both a gentleman and a good lawyer. It is estimated that the primary vote in the district this year will be 6800 votes as follows: Benton, $500; Washingto n, $500; Carroll, 1500; Madison, 1500.

fishes for good many years, and be-

to tell their ages. Size can have little
or nothing to do with age The trout
are a good example, and like all other
fishes their growth is governed by
their food supply In some localities,
when range and food supply are re-

size. In other localities. such as the

a weight Of from six to ten pounds.

The talk had been about the busi-

the party told the following story:
"A rich man. extraordinarily strict
in all business matters, but kind
hearted withal. had gardener who,
in long and faithful service, contract
ed rheumatism. Almost regularly
every month the gardener was inca
pacitated for work for four and FIVE
days at a time When he did not
work his wages were docked, and his
loss amounted to about $40 month.
The employer did not like this, as
the man was a valued servant, and it
seemed unfair to make him bear the
financial burden of an illness that
was the outgrowth OF his calling. But
the masters business instincts would
not allow him to pay for unrendered
services. Finally the employer evolv-
ed a scheme whereby the gardener
would not lose anything through
future attacks, while the proprieties
OF business would not be violated.
