HOWELL S. HERRING FOR
 REELECTION COUNTY CLERK

We present the name in the proper column this week of Howell s. Her ring who seeks reelection to the of flee of County and Probate Clerk of Nevada county, subject to the action of the Democratic Primary
 MT. Herring is native of the coun- ty, his family being one of the best known and oldest residing here. He was born and reared in Parker town ship, receiving his diploma from the Bodcaw high school, recognized as one of the leading high schools in the county. Combined with MT. Herring's high school education he has the ad vantage of course in business train ing, which admirably equips him for the office he now holds, and to which he asks reelection. MT. Herring spent a number of years farming with his father near Bodcaw and their farm is recognized as one of the most efficient in the county.
 In a business way, he has had quite bit of experience, having been con- nected with business firms at Nash vile, El Dorado and Hope. Between the years 1910 and 1916 he assisted Tn the duties of circuit clerk during most of the terms of the courts, which experience has stood him in good stead Tn his capacity as county and probate clerk.
 MT. Herring comes before the peo- pie asking for a second term, which according to the Democratic princi- pies, he feels is rightly due him. As an officer, his record stands above re- proach, as the books in his office will show. He has efficiently and con- scientously discharged his duties in every way and we ask that you give ms name careful consideration when you go to the polls on August 10.

Something unusual in court
trials is the appearance of father

trial of Edward Cramer in county
court on a charge Of bootlegging.

happened that both men were i'm
paneled and accepted for service.
Unless one closely observed, the
pair might be mistaken for
brothers.
Trial Is On.
The, trial is proceeding rapidly
and it was said this morning that
the case might possibly be placed
in the hands Of the jury by late this
afternoon. In comparison with the
trials on liquor charges that have
preceded the Cramer case, it is
moving rather monotonously Some

The Fidelity Trust Company. Pun
ia Gorda's new third banking insti-
tuition, has received its charter and
VIII open for business on or before
July first
Difficulty has been experienced in
hnding a temporary location for the
new bank and it is likely that a por-
tlon of the Wotitzky store, in the
Seminole hotel building, will have to
be used for the time being.
Messrs. Skipper and Lanier, who
organized the bank, have been in
town this week making arrangements
Tor the opening, and when seen yes
terday morning said that while the
details were still indefinite it was
likely that the new concern would be
thoroughly organized and ready to
open for business in temporary
quarters by July first
Tentative plans contemplate the
erection of a handsome home for the
new bank where the old Seminole
lotel now stands, but this building
VIII be only partially financed by the
lew bank. Plans for this proposed
are still indefinite and it is
lot likely that work will be started
1t once on account of the unsettled
condition of the materials and labor
market. Some rough plans of the
proposed building have been drawn.
md 1t is understood that they con-
emplate a two or thfee-story build
ng, provision being made for the
'ank to occupy the corner facing on
larian avenue and Taylor street.
