guessing as to the outcome.
The committee of 20 will hold a
meeting tonight, and at this meeting
the names of all candidates will be
fully discussed and in all probability
full ticket named. Many citizens
are spoken of for mayor among them
being Col. Tom Wilson, Will Bowen
Col. B. B. Cheney, Col, w. H. Clay,
Major BULGE and several dark horses.
Aldermen-at-large, Judge. w. B,
Moore, Perry c. Clegg, T. w. Hayde,

Chief of Police, Zeb Barden and
Chief Jones.
The candidates for Alderman from
the different wards are too numerous
to mention. There seems to be but
one general idea, and that is to put in
office the very best men obtainable,
and those who will guard closely the
interests of the city.
The question of lower taxes is also
receiving a great deal of attention.

Advertising

Advertising is the heart of modern business. 1t
is the force that keeps up the circulation Of
money and merchandise. Every advertisement
is a heart beat and every consistent advertiser
has both money and wares in circulation. Let
the heart Of business stop, let advertising cease,
for even a short period of time and the nation
would become stagnant; like the human body
it would die and decay.
