We have heard it reported several
times hat the democratic party IN
this county viii not avail themselves
of the primary election for the selec-
ton of a county ticket, but will
nominate by petition. We do not
know that any positive action has yet
been taken by the county central
committee of that party, and there
fore the future might develop in
~terests that would make the plan
mentioned impracticable.
In this issue will be found the
announcement of G. B. Lemon, of this
city, who is a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for the Office of
clerk of courts. Mr.. Lemon has had
considerable experience as an alb
stracter and is an expert in the matter
of records. He is a good Office man
and feels that he can give the people
first.class service if he shall be honor
ed by a nomination and election.

candidates. -Esmond Herald.
Officer Pat Kildee request, us to
warn those young men and boys who
stand around on the street corners
and cause a general disturbance by
loud talk, singing, and making re
marks as ladies pass by to discontinue
the same unless they desire to make
the acquaintance of the police justice.
Also, those parties who make a prac,
tice of pounding on the tin in the
Burkart store side door as they pass
by are notified not to do it again. The
Independent has no knowledge as to
who are the parties referred to, but
we have heard complaints to this ef
feet before. The parties most inter
ested in this warning can govern
themselves accordingly.
-Rasmus Anderson arrived FROM
Brookings last Saturday evening to
take IA position in the Lake Preston
creamery. He is n young mar who
recently graduated from the dairy
department of the agricultural col
lege. He will take Walter Anderson's
place in the local plant, the latter
having decided to change his occu.
patton at least temporarily. Walter
will go up in Hartland township and
put in the crop on his own farm this
spring but does not intend to move
his family there. He will no doubt
enjoy the change from indoor to
outside work and hopes at the same
time to get better returns from the
farm as a result. Lake Preston Times.
