sidered, | felt very much fattered and
very grateful for the vote received

a position in the so-called ordinary
walks of life; / have never been ad-
mitted to the bar, or been to the leg.
islature, or engaged in banking, or
been legal adviser for the board Of
supervisors, or supervised any large
property interest; nor have ever held
the Office of mavor of Lexington, but
looking to my friends (for friends in

Issues Card Stating 1t Has Been
His Intention Since Last Race.

The Advertiser is authorized to an
nounce 0. f. Hosea, Esq, as a candi-
date for mayor Of the city Of Lexing-

Two years ago Mr.. Hosea made the

he came within six votes of capturing
the pennant.
In his present position as justice of

exceptionally fine record, displaying
rare and sound Judgment and prac-
tical knowledge of the law, and all de-
cisions so far rendered have been
strictly in accordance with the law
and evidence and non reversible by
higher tribunals.
Mr.. Hosea's life long residence in
Lexington has aft orded the people an
opportunity of Judging as to his adapt
ability for the position he seeks at the
hands of his fellow citizens. Of
rugged honesty and absolute reliability
and integrity, coupled with excellent
