Johnson's conduct of the towns affairs.

Smith is one of the leading realtors of Pllinrille and as such has a good knowledge of property values; he is also a young man and an energetic ohe, and it is hoped by many tha. ne will sec his way clear 10 giving his tjJGe l in this service for the towna 1 The republican caucus will be held Ia 1,iubt n lp1, of He n the various state and district con- yentions.
