VERNON

Vernon, Mar. 15.-Vernon has been
full of people since the circuit court
for Washington county convened here
last Monday morning and has been in
session during this week. Judge d. j.
Jones with Hon. Ira A. Hutchinson,
district attorney opened court in due
form. The grand jury was drawn and
empanelled with j. d. Parish as fore
man. The charge given by Judge
Jones to the grand jury was a clear
and concise explanation of the criminal
laws of Florida which was strikingly
forcible as to the duties of this i'm
portant body. The criminal docket
seem light.
Aside from the business of the cir
cult court there has been an extensive
gathering of political wire pu.lers pre-
ambulating the streets in the interest
of friends, who expect to have a "land
slide" at the primary June Sth. Since
the increase in the fees of sheriff by
the legislature of 1919, this office is
receiving much attention and the rush
for announcing and getting ready for
the race is interesting. The office of
clerk Of the circuit court is being
sought for by two prominent young
men both of whom are well known and
are largely connected with some of
the most prominent families Of Wash
ington county. Arch G. McQuagge, the
present incumbent has many friends as
well as d. G.. Brock, mis- opponent
hence a lively race is looked for with
much interest
The office of county superintendent
of public instruction with ]. Fl. Var
mum, the present incumbent and Tom
Hightower in the in the race, both of
whom are well known and among the
brightest young men in the county
also gives promise for a "get-up-a and
get' campaign.
No one has offered to make the race
for the legislature as yet.
