years, and has for many years been

ia any other occupation or position
to which his attention has been
turned.
As clerk of the county court he is
best known. His administration of
the affairs of that office for six
years has been of such high order
as to leave nothing for unfriendly
critics to say. He keeps his work up
in the best of condition possible.
AS public official he attends to his
duties in capable and honest man
ner; as private citizen his life is
clean and entirely above reproach.
The people Of Barbour county can
not do better than re-elect him.

One of the most common figures on
the streets of Belington is Mr.. Scrim-
geour attired in a workingman's
clothes, with bare head and arms, go
ing about looking after his many du-
ties.
He tolls from early morning until
late at night, and has been rewarded
by prosperous business. But coup
led with all this toll and business
foresight is his motto: "Be honest
beca@se It is right"-not as the max
i'm says, Because it is policy"
Some men are honest from policy
because the law compels them to
be honest-not so with Mr. Scrim-
geour, who is honest because it is
right to be honest. Is not this the
kind of men we should elect to have
a say in the management Of our
county affairs? A man whosis indus

has succeeded, and who is honest
