swung around the corners here this
week, regardless of the inclemency OF
the weather. The primary is fast APP
preaching and who will he the candi-
date for trustee to Withdraw from
the race Win Smith is n who
withdraws, aud we will properly con-
slider his lace two years hence. His
| withdrawal is we'll considered. If
some more of the boys in the field
would follow the action of Mr.. Smith,
it would be a strengthening link to
the party. The way the thing is rock
ing and moving it reminus me of a
blind dog in a meat house. Can't you
figure on the final results. There is
too much strife on board among the
boys, with but little or no harmony
plan left among you after the primary
election to face the campaign. A little
forett ought by wise gentlemen ought
to be sufficient to all concerned. The
more you punch your competitor In
this campaign the more You strengthen
his influence among the people n
weaken yourself in your own candida.

Trustee Kirkpatrick was on
streets Friday and Saturday, looking
after his candidacy for reelection TO
the trustees office. Mr.. kirkpatrick
was ont a large attorney fee OF nearly
5000, and other expenses in the contest
suit that was filed against him, when
you all remember be fought to a nm
ish. He Just cleared away the fog and
mist of the expenses of that litigation
and other expenses, and after all IS de-
Quoted it makes quite a reduction IN
his profits based on a commission sal
airy. | believe Kirkpatrick should be
returned to the Office two more years
to make him whole and treat him with
that courtesy that belongs to him.
Please study over this matter, be hon
est and fail, and vote accordingly.
w. A. Cantrell, sheriff of Marion

w. H. White, attorney, Saturday. He

There is some friction on the part OF
some of the attorneys about appearing
any more in our j. P. courts. They
are standing in their own light about
this matter. They are welcome to APP
pear and represent their Chants, but
the court don't propose to get down on
its knees and beg them to come. L
don't get mad at the court if l do lose
a case now and then. l am far from
attempting to intimidate or tantallze
abuse a court OF bulldoze any liti-
giants just because | am or the oppos-
tie side. If | should prosecute or de-
fend a Cliant expect to 90 1t in a le-
gitimate and respectful manner and af-
ter the suit is over we can shake hands
and be friends, and do business togeth-
er in the future as we have done in
the past. There has been some hard
worls passed and said about the court

tneir words. and step forward
like clean gentlemen and make due
apology for all wrongs done to their
associates, and | hope if done
N the right spirit it may be accepted.

A big criminal law suit occurred

hot gun. Bryant brothers managed
D get hold of Layne's gun and hand
