w A. LEE FOR
 CIRCUIT CLERK.

The announcement of w. A. Lee, candidate for circuit clerk, has been running in The Graphic for several weeks, but this paper has delayed reviewing his claim, as is scustomd dry, owing to general rush of news Sln it's columns.
 MT. Lees candidacy Hs subject to the action of the Dem iocratic party at the primary December 1. !
 He is now serving his \fourth year as city clerk, which position he has filled most creditably to the city /hs we'll as himself.
 MT. Lee was also in the clerical department at the Cotton Belt offices here for ten years. He is consider ed one of the best clerical men h this section. 1t seems supertuous to write complimentary notice ,of VIII Lee, for he has been a highly es- teemed resident of this country 10: v years. A Christian gentleman, cour- teous and obliging to all, and Democrat from birth, you see Tn h1m man who is worthy to fill any office he may ask for.
 But being good man don't spell if all when you go to select puDllc servant, though that should not be lost sight of.
 Competency to do the work we'll and accurately and a disposition to oblige are the main points to con- sider-and there is where Will Lee shines. He is an expert bookeeper and is fully comptent to perform eV- cry duty devolving upon the circuit clerk. Consider his candidacy at the primary
