HOLDING BACK

Sheriff d. p. Douglass has an
nounccd definately and decisively
that he is not and will not be cam
d!Iate for reelection. This leaves an
opening for aspirants for that office.
as II Is unlikely that, had Mr.. Doug
'"SS decided to run, an opponent
could have been found who
would Le willing to undertake
the task of defeating so popular a
man. Rumor has it that there will he
at east three Chesterfield men in the
rec, although none have made an
nIuncement of that fact
Mr.. James 7. Grant, who can show
a fac record as Deputy Sheriff and
WHO, therefore, is well qualified for
the Office docs not denv that he will
,e IN tHc race. Mr. Grant has MANY
1itSLIj I'D staunch supporters
throughout the county and will, no
"pubt make a strong candidate.
1t is said that Mr. A. w. Hursey
is ambitious to fill NJ. Douglass shoes
Whcn that gentleman retires to his
agricultural pursuits and Mr.. Hursey

"'"d%e MIN their support Mr.. Hursey
Is a business man of ability and his
friends maintain that a business man
would make Il good sheriff.

b. c. MOORE SELLS
COUNTRY HOLDINGS

Mr.. B. c. Moore, who recently dis
posed of his home in Chesterfield and
other valuable Main street property,
has sold three large farms.
The place located at Guess, CON-
prising some 600 acres was bought
by the Rivers Brothers, of Mt. Crog-
han. The price paid is not given out,
but as the land is of fine quality and
location it is likely that it brought a
big price.

from Mr.. Moore the farm known as
the Ray Eddins land, two miles
southwest of Chesterfield. This farm
conists of 243 acres 1t is on the
Observation-Disclosures road. The price is

crops that have been planted, stock
and utensils were all included in this
deal and the sum of $4,000 is said
to have changed hands in this trans
action.
1t is estimated that Mr.. Moore
has turned about 100000 worth of
Chesterfield town and county proper
ty into cash within the last few
weeks. He still holds some of the
most desirable business and residences
property in town, all of which he has
