in business and in the world of
affairs. By young man we mean
from thirty to forty Ave years, which
is recognized as being the prime Of

one has had the experiences Of life
sufficient to enable him to know what
to do and how to do 1t. where one

position for which we are going to
bire man next Tuesday is that of
county commissioner for the Third
district; and VIM. X. Alfred is our
applicant for the place. Alfred is a
man thirty five years Of age. He has
lived in this state almost all his life,
coming here as = very small child.
He is one of the large taxpayers of
this county. He has extensive pIop-

business; has An extended knowledge
of how things are done. He has been

Of business. In each and every one
he has been success. He IL a hnild-
