Watts Is Candidate.

Perhaps the strangest incident re-
sulting from the primary election is
the nomination by the democrats of
this county of Professor H. I. Watts,
republican, for the Office of county
school superintendent. The republi-
can ballots contained the name of
Frank Welles, present incumbent. and
he had no opposition in his PARTY and
as result had easy sailing in securing
the nomination. But a different as
pect confronts him, in his election to
office. A sufficient number Of demo-
cratic voters wrote in the name of
Prof. Watts on the ballots. knowing
him to be a man of pre.eminent quail
hcations for the office. thus rendering
him the nomination regardless of his
political affiliations. This unqualified
Endorsement of Mr.. Watts is indeed g
high testimonial of regard for his ed
uoational work.

VIII Adopt Cash System.

The cash system adopted by a
large number of merchants and
business men seems to be working
admirably and is proving highly
satisfactory to business and pat
rons. On October LIST the Central
Meat Market will adopt the cash
system, believing that it is best for
all Cor cerned. The credit system
in business of the kind means
large increased expenses and con-
sequently higher prices. Every
merchant who sells on credit must
take into calculation his losses
when he prices his goods, and in
the long run the honest customer
pays for the losses or the merchant
fails. Some people will not pay
even for their food, and others are
so slow that the expense of collect
ing is about equal so the expense
running the shop. The customer
who pays cash ought not to be re-
quired to pay credit prices, and
we can sell much cheaper on the
cash system which ought to be ap-
preciated by all honest people. On
the cash system we all get a fair
and square deal.
We ask our many customers and
friends to consider well these few
points and continue with us and
we will show you the benefit of the
change. W. V. CHURCH,
Proprietor Central Meat Market.
