Mr.. NJ. NJ. Proctor is one Of those
fine spirits one likes to
meet in this life and of that charac

brought much influence to bear upon
him trying to persuade him to enter
the race for the legislature, but he
has definitely declined Pity there
is not the right kind of reward that
such people could afford to represent
cur good counties in the legislature

lives are very suspicious of politics

sterling qualities in this position.
