saw good deal of good land and a
great deal that was not so good, but
none of it pleased US quite so well as

county, and Circuit Clerk Casey AL

Thursday, the former as witness for
the commonwealth in the cases

many friends here. Mr.. Price is re-
firing from politics and is not can
didate for reelection as clerk. Mr..

ton in his county, and those who
know him and his popularity say
that there would be no use of anyone
running against him anyway, he is
such a splendid official and popular
democrat.

Stanford that prominent citizen of
the west end of Boyle county has
made a fortune on wheat. He invest

going up. His original thousand is
