Joe H. Gamble, who is a candidate
for reelection to the office of Circuit
Court Clerk, subject to the will of
the voters, to be expressed in Re-

was first appointed bv Judge Geo.
l.. Bur ke, to fill out the unexpired
term of Chas, I. Kidd, who died
while in Office, he was then elected
for one term, and feels like he is
entitled to second term as it is
customary to give all a second term
especially those who faithfully and
concentiously perform their duties.
Such can be said of Mr.. Gamble, as
he is one of the best Circuit Court
Clerks Blount county has ever had.
He understands the work, and keeps
his records up. .to-date, and has
them finished almost as soon as
court is over. He is very prompt
in paving. costs, as soon as it is in
bis possession, and ia uniformly
kind and courteous to the public.
We hope that every one will take
note of his candidacy, aod give him
the consideration due before casting
their ballots for another for this i'm
portant office.
