offices of Extra township for a
number of years and is a compe-
tent man.
His success in life may be esti-
mated by the fact that although
being young man, he has fine
half section fam he has acquired
by his own labor and where he is
living comfortably at this time. He
takes delight in public improve
ments of ali kinds and on account
of the deplorable condition of our
old bridges in this part of the
county, his party sought their most
practical farmer in the hope that
his popularity would secure his
election.
The condition of roads and b1id-
gse in this part of tie county, on
account Of tins being the old set
tied part, constantly need attention
by a supervisor living IN the dis
trict sest there be accidents and the
county pnt to much expense there
by. air. McGafiin would certainly
make an ideal mau for the position.
He would take a pride III the work
and serve the people we'll.
