w. B. WHITE.

In this issue appears the author
lied announcement of w. B. White.
of this city, for Commemorative
Attorney, subject to the action OF
the Democratic party.
Bridges White needs no intro
duction to the voters of this judi
cial District. While young in
years, being only 36 years of age,
he has had much experience in po-
litical affairs. He has always been
an ardent Democrat and in past
campaigns has rendered much val
liable assistance to the nominees of
his party. As an organizer, his
services are always in demand, and
he was the unanimous choice of the
party leaders for Campaign Chair
man of Montgomery County to
conduct the fall campaign, and un-
der his wise management an in
creased majority is expected.
As lawyer, he has few equals.
His father, Hon. A. B. White, was
for many years one of the foremost
lawyers of this part of the State
and man highly respected and
beloved by all. w. B. White is a
graduate of Bethany wv. Va.) Col
lege, and has inherited many of
the admirable qualities of his faith
err. Until the latter's death, which
occurred last year, he officed with
his father.
Soon after his admission to the
bar, about fourteen years ago, he
assumed a high place in his chosen
profession. For five consecutive
terms he was appointed by the City
Council to the responsible position
of City Attorney of Mt. Sterling,
but has never before been a candi-
date for an elective Office. His
clean manner of living and his
correct business methods have won
for him a host of friends, who in
tend to wage an energetic campaign
in his behalf and are confident he
will be made his party's standard
bearer.

WHERE PRICES RUN HIGH.
Mothers Suggestion Helped George
Out Of a Predic ament.

"The late Henry o. Havemeyer,"
said a sugar jobber of New Orleans,
possessed in a marked degree the
kindly virtue Of charity.
ION my last visit to New York
it was some months before the panic
i spoke harshly Of millionaire who
had been accused OF double dealing
in banking transaction.
Said Mr.. Havemeyer: Let us not
condemn this man unheard. Remem-
Der that his guilt has not yet been
proved. nor has he yet told his own
side of the story
Then Mr.. Havsmeyer laughed and
said that in the most untoward condi
tons accused men were often able to
clear themselves. He told Of young
girl who week or so after Christmas
complained bitterly to her mother:
Mamma, doubt II | shall be hap.
by with George. | fear he is Of de-
ceptive nature
why, darling. what do you mean? p
the mother asked.
We'll. mamma. said the young girl
earnestly. you know that collar pin
ne gave me for Christmas! He swors
to me that he paid SIS for it, but to
day | saw its exact counterpart priced
at five dollars at a jewelers.
All. but. my child said the moth.
er. you must remember how very re-
ligious George is. Undoubtedly he
bought the pin at q church fair"

HEALED
BY THE PRAYER OF FAITH.
Woman Afflicted for -Four Years
Arises and Walks.
GREATLY REJOICING.

Mrs. Belle Elan, of this city,
aged 35 years, has been an invalid
for about 4 years, confined to her
bed or chair for 2 years, able at
times to hobble around clumsily.
She was afflicted with rheumatism
in arms and lower limbs, her right
arm practically useless. She has
been visited by christian workers,
engaged in the meeting now in
progress near Jeffersonville, nine
miles from town, who advocate the
healing of the sick by the prayer
of faith. On Sunday while she
and they were engaged in service
at her home great change came
over her. She arose and walked
and had easy use of herself.
Many people have visited her.
On Tuesday at noon we made in
quiry and were told that she was
walking around home very happy
and expecting to go in the after
noon to the Camp meeting con-
Quoted by those who had blessed
her.

First Judicial District.
Once more l ask your support
for the nomination of Common
wealth's Attorney for this district.
During my term in Office it has
been my desire to faithfully dis
charge the duties imposed upon
me by my oath. l have endeavor-
ed to prosecute only the guilty and
to see that the innocent had justice
shown them.
1t has been my aim to treat all
men alike, recognizing that in the
law every man is equal, and that
his case should be tried ONLY with
regard to LAW and EVIDENCE.
Feeling that / have been true to
the trust imposed upon me, and
promising in the future to dis
charge the duties of the Office as
faithfully as in the past, l earnestly
ask your consideration and support.
Truly yours,

THINK OF 1T.

The method and time for the
selection of Democratic NOMINEES
for County Offices has not yet been
decided upon. In as much as the
ELECTION of said nominees is not
to take place until November 1909
Fifteen months away we deem it
inexpedient that announcements for
such positions be made at this time.
We do not see why these should
be made for months yet, even be-
fore next spring. Already a few
candidates have signified their will
ingness to have honor thrust upon
them.
There is no telling what may
happen within 6 or 9 months.
Within that time half of the candi-
dates or prospective candidates
may be in heaven, or h ave such
surroundings as would render their
candidacy altogether out of con-
sideration by the public, if not
really Objectionable to the candi-
dates themselves. More over
these long anticipations afford too
many exposures to being bled to
death, too many strains on con-
science, too many Kisses for
babies" etc. We are inclined to
think that the best interests of the
people generally demand that there
be a suspension of this premature
work. In addition to those al
ready announced, there are others
who by current report or to our
personal knowledge expect to be
candidates; among whom are: for
County Judge, A. G. Mccormick
and G. F. Thomas; County Attor-
ney, Earl W. Senff; County Clerk,
Jno. King; Sheriff, James White,
VIM. Sledd and w F.. Crooks;
Jailer, w. r. Upton; Assessor,
Earl Quisenberry; Circuit Clerk,
r. j. Hunt and possibly others.
Hope deferred maketh the
heart sick" may apply to some
conditions, but not here.
We voters should be very eau
tious about making pledges, when
we do not know who will be can
didates, or what the surroundings
will be next year, thus possibly
preventing embarrassment or a
half hearted support.

RANDALL STOKLEY.

In presenting Randall Stokley
as a candidate for Assessor we feel
confident that the work committed
to him will be faithfully and equit-
ably done. His experience on the
farm and also in the city has
brought him in touch with real
conditions. We believe he would
deal fairly with all. He asks the
of the voters of the county.

ments like these: IF my party
dominates man / will vote fol-
him even if he be a yellow dog''
and again: Whatever be our
wrongs let us correct them in Oul
own party" If the sentiment OF
this latter statement is carried out
there will seldom be a yellow
dog" to be voted for.
In what we state we do not
claim to represent the sentiments
or convictions of any other man.
If any criticisms are in order the
writer of Facts & Observations
will be glad to receive them or be
held responsible for them. Every
life rests upon, or is the outgrOwth
of and is controlled by certain
principles.
To fear God and keep his COM
mandments is declared to be the
whole of man. This is the sum
total; the factors of it ale truth,
honesty, self control, love for God
and love for our fellow men, etc.
If these principles prevail thee is
safety and honor for the individual
and for a community Ian aggrega-
ton of Individually
In the selection of men to make
and execute our laws, whether in
town, county or state, the best re-
suits will be obtained when our
representative men embody these
principles.
If as a PRIVATE CITIZEN a man is
truthful, honest, pure and clean,
pays his debts, the same man as an
OFFICIAL is apt to have these wor-
thy traits. If as a PRIVATE CITIZEN
he fears not God and regards not
the rights and interests of his fell
lows, he as an OFFICIAL will be apt
to go to greater excuses.
Our convictions of duty, our es-
Inmates of citizenship, are such
that we must and will reserve for
ourself the right to reject any can
lidate who we think is unworthy
to represent our town or county or
state. We do not expect to find
perfect men. Many noble and
worthy and reputable citizens as
pire to Office. To be represented
by such affords pleasure, satisfac-
ton and is an honor.
Every voter should be interested
not only in seeing that the offices
are filled-but that they are filled
by honorable, worthy, capable
men. If our wrongs are made
right I'm our own party" the time
to begin is NOW, before nOmina-
tions are made. Let the voters see
to it that men of a high type are
nominated, then there will be no
cause for complaint, no incentive
to reject nominees. Our fidelity
to party may be questioned by
what we have said and by the fur
Their declaration that we have re-
jected and voted against Demo-
cratic nominees and that we will
do so again in TIE present or future
campaigns if we believe that the
best interests of our county de-
mand it. We know that other
Democrats feel the same way about
this, and we have heard Repub-
leans in this city say that they
nave acted in like manner.
