We take pleasure in calling the
attention of the readers of The
Chronicle to the announcement in
this issue of s. w. Cuf as candi-
date for the Office of Sheriff of
Benton County.
In referring to Mr.. Cuff, who is
now filling the position of Deputy
Sheriff, we wish to do so to the
extent that we know him and what
ever we know in his favor we feel
that we have no right to withhold
from him. Besides being prompt
paying patron of The Chronicle,
the editor of this paper has had
occasion to know that he has been
often put to the test officially and
we find nothing but pleasure in
making the statement that his work
has been very satisfactorily accom-
pEished. TO those who have not
formed the acquaintance of Sheriff
Parker's hustling deputy, we will
say that is is kind-hearted, social
Christian young man in every
sense of the word.
Being Democrat of the "manor
born," Mr.. Cuff will strive to win
the coveted goal of his ambition by
way of the Democratic primary.
1T will be his pleasure to see the
people and plead his cause with
them, and We feel sure that in the
primary the voters will cast their
ballots for the good name of the
county we all love and wish to see
hold a high place in the Volunteer
State.
