For District Attorney.

One of the most important county
Offices, from the tax payers point of
view, is that of District Attorney.
Court costs multiply very rapidly.
Every day the Grand Jury is i'm ses-
sion it costs the County about $50.
Consequently, if the District At
,torney has matters ready so the
Grand Jury can act without delay on
bills Of Indictment, it is a great saw
ing to the county. The same is true
in the dispatch of business in the
criminal courts. The election of F.
w. Meylert, Esq, to this important
office, would insure continuance of
efficient service in this position. If
elected the tax papers can feel
assured that the business of the
office will receive prompt and care
full attention. In the hands of At
torney Meylert.

Serve them, like crackers, in
