BRIGADIER GENERAL
FRANK S. DICKSON.
Adjutant General of Illinois.

Gen. Frank S. Dickson, of RAM
sey, the Adjutant General and one
of our most beloved citizens, is
making record worthy of emula
ton. He is, by virtue of his office,
head of the military department
of the state.
He was appointed by Gov. De
neen after long deliberatioL, and
won the honor solely on account
of his merits and peculiar fitness
for the place.
His business is carefully looked
after and he is a man of easy ap-
preach and very genteel.
As an orator he ranks first class
and is eloquent. Gen. Dickson is
a staunch Republican and repre-
scented his district in the National
House with credit and ability. We
know of no man in the state more
popular with the people as a whole
than he.
He is a model young man, and
has a kind and amicable expression
for all, rich or poor, black or white
no difference.
He is liked by the State Nationa
Guard and all the employees under
him.
Gen. Dickson has labored assidu-
ously for the success of the Re
publican party ever since reaching
his maturity, and commanded the
highest respect and consideration
from the leaders of the party.
Being a young man, his chances
are good for much promotion. The
Colored people find in him a broad
heart, full of the true principles
of a great and good man, whose
motto is CHARITY for all, malice
toward none"

County Recorder S Office.

The office of County Recorder
is an important one; all the rec
ords of deeds, wills, mortgages,
etc., for the entire county are re-
corded there. The efficiency of the
man at the head of this office is
great asset to the people of this
county, as it is upon him that rests
the peoples safety of their most
sacred and valuable documents.
1t is essential to have a steady,
competent, reliable man as County
Recorder.
For a number of years the peo-
pie have been blessed with an Off
cial against whom not ole word
of complaint is registered on ac
count of dereliction i'll work Or
incompetency. All records are
found to be correctly entered ami
everything is found in its place.
This office is filled by Mr.. Ber.
Rich, and has been for a number
of years. He has given such emf
nent satisfaction that even though
he has filled the place for some
time he is urged to continue for
at least another term on the
grounds that the Office is too i'm
portant to change without much
care and consideration
This office is to be again voted
for next year and the Republican
party must name its candidate
next spring at the primaries.
The people seem to think that
no better man than Mr.. Rich can
be had, and therefore he is being
endorsed for reelection on his
merits.
In positions like this it is very
essential that the records be kept
properly and that the business be
done accurately. This, the present
incumbent has done so well that
he has had little opposition for the
place.
