this time is the same it was ten years
ago, although the salaries of several
other offices in the county have been
raised once or twice and some of
them three times in that period.
Notwithstanding this, the present
incumbent of the Office of Probate
Judge, A. S. Peacock, has given his
time unreServedly to the work OF the
office, has taken the trouble to study
his work and familiarize himself with
his duties, and has endeayored to
bring the records of the Office into
better shape than they have ever
been before. He is the Republican
candidate for this Office to which he
was unanimously nominated and has
no opposing Democratic candidate.
If industry and strict adherence to
law and duty are considered, A. S.
Peacock should receive the support
of every voter in the county He has
been a resident of the county twenty
five years, has held other positions of
importance and has always made
good. Vote for him.

present incumbent, DIR. w. Y. Her

the proper place on our ballot and
make a cross to the right of it when

other voters to do the same. DIR.

duties of the office; he is worthy and
well qualified and has been suitably
proficient in the past. Vote for him.

township, is another of the pioneer
sons who has been honored by nomi-
nation for an office of Importance by
the party of progress, the party of
hope and inspiration for all young
voters. The Allmans were pioneers
of the county thirty years ago, have
always been regarded as among our
most substantial farmers and intelli-
gent citizens. 1t is eminently proper
that the claims of the young men,
sons of such pioneers, should be rec

voters for the office of sheriff and it
should be the especial care and pride
of all the younger voters to elect him

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
Mrs. Eva p. Jones is the only nomi-
nee for this office and will be elected
to succeed herself without doubt, not
alone because she has no opposing
candidate but because one good term
deserves another. Mrs. Jones' ex-
perience and qualifications are well
known and further comment is un-
necessary she should receive,
and we have no doubt she will re-
ceive handsome vote.
| COUNTY SURVEYOR.
There is but one nomination for
this office, Hudson Harlan, who has
held the Office the last few years and
who has proven himself to be espe-
cially proficient in the work of the
office for which he was fitted by spe-
cial study in college, and to which he
has added much by field training and
experience. Mr.. Harlan is particu-
larly just, careful and accurate-the
kind of officer who should have charge
of the work of this office which be-
comes more and more important as
the old boundary marks become more
difficult of location and real estate
becomes more and more valuable. He
was a homesteader in Wilcox town
ship twenty-six years ago, has served
the public in many ways and has al
ways been found worthy of conf.
dence. Vote for Harlan.
