Sheriff Jinks Taylor has not come
out -footedly as candidate for
sheriff on the democratic ticket. al
though reports to this effect were
freely circulated today. The demo-
cratic central committee has called a
meeting for 1870 Saturday at the city
hall to chose "a successor to Sheriff
Til Taylor as nominee of the party.
Il have told friends repeatedly that
L do not care to run for the office"
the brother of the deceased sheriff,
now filling out his unexpired term.
said this afternoon. Il am not seek
ing the office. The only consideration
under which viii run is that the
committee finds no one else in the
party who is willing to run or appears
to be qualified"
Sheriff Taylor declared again today
that he would prefer to attend to his
private business interests as soon as
the unexpired term has been served
out. He did say. however, that in
case no one else can be found and he
is still the choice of the party. he
probably would accept the nomination.
The democratic meeting will also
take up other matters of interest~to

During hot weather keep drinking

for poultry in shady places. Not only
does the shade keep the water cooler
but it results in less evaporation.
Whether the drinking receptacle is in
the shade or not may determine
whether the poultry have plenty of
