Democratic Candidate for Sheriff


When John M. Woolison entered up
on the duties of the office of sheriff,
to which he was elected two years
ago, it was with the full determination
to discharge those duties without fear
or favor, and that he has done so is OF
common knowledge to every person in
Knox county. Day and night he has
been ION the job" and has never been
derelict in anything. The performance
of duty in such thorough manner as
John Woolison discharges it, is thing
that commends him to the people of all
shades of political belief and renders
him such a popular candidate. The
people are keen to observe and appre-
ciate such splendid service as Sher-
iff Woolison has rendered, and will no
doubt show their appreciation In sub.
