ALBERT s. McGOUGH AN NOUNCES FOR COUNTY
 AND PROBATE JUDGE

Today We present for your consider ation the name of Albert S. McGough, of Albany township, for County and Probate Clerk of Nevada County, sub ject to the action of the Democratic party
 MT. McGough is a life long citizen |of Nevada and comes from one of the oldest and most prominent families in the county. As staunch bearers of the Democratic banner they have always been ready to uphold party principles and support party nomi- neeS.
 The office of county clerk requires a man of an unusual amount of clerical ability and to thoroughly discharge its duties, one must have great deal of experience. Mir. McGough served as deputy clerk under Nat Martin several years ago, and he also assisted Ex- Tax Assessor Bright in his work of making the tax books. During the term of Mr. Hood as sheriff and col  lector, MT. McGough made the rounds with him as deputy collector and he also assisted our present sheriff, Sam E. Mum, in collecting taxes.
 Mir. McGough made the race for this office against the present county clerk J. W. Franks, and there is not man in the county that cannot but admire the clean and open methods used in his campaign He was defeated and was satisfied with the support you ac- corded him ard is again asking you to support him for the office
 As a private citizen Mr. McGough stands among the best in the county. He is a conservative, high-class christ ian gentleman At this time he is en- gagged in teaching school in the vici- nity of his hone and when this is con- pleted will begin an active campaign over the county in the interest of his candidacy. We believe MT. McGough Is fully capable to satisfactorily dis charge every duty connected with the office to which he aspires and ask that you give him your earnest considera- tion when yor select man for this place.

Carefully Treat
 Children's Colds

Neglect of children's colds often laysths foundation of serious lung trouble. On the other hand, it is harmful to continu- ally dose delicate little stomachs with in- ternal medicines or to keep the children always indoors.
 Plenty of fresh air in the bedroom and good application of Vick's "vap-O Rub" Salve over the throat and chest at the first sign of trouble, will keep the little chaps free from colds without injuring their di- gestions. 25c, Soc, or @1.0O.
