Vim Ki:i'kK.sr.NTATivi:. We generally figure what a man is, .uul what lie will do, by what he has lone in the past. If this is a gauge y which we form our judgment of the present Representative, who is a , audidatc tor re-election, then only words of praise can lie spoken or written for R. A. Norfleet. No man is Setter known in the east part of the Miunty, where he has been in business t ir many years, and those who know 'lini best and have done business with 'urn longest are the ones who speak uost highly of him. His honest, traight forward dealing has made mil friends among all people, with- it t regaid to politics, and no man 'lands higher in bis community. He ias elected as Repiescntalive from .his county by a rousing majority ,and v hilt; he never attempted any "high lown" oratory, lie has made one of the best representatives this county ias ever hail, anil should be, and will lie, returned by a, much larger major ity than heloie. ills Note has always teen cast on the side that was for the est interests of tbe people, and Hon. A. Norfleet will not be forgotten .in the Oth day oS next month. KoK; Q'i'NTV Cl.l'.KK.. Who don't know Mann" Bifck, ur candidate for County Clerk? A naiv that has tramped the hills of V.organ County as many years as he wis, don't need much of au iutroduc lion to the voters or our people. In business and. out of business he has been one of our most upright, kind liest inclined and progressive citizens lthough he lus never held a county .'lti.ee he has always worked for the ticket, and the road has never been Wo. long, nor the night too dark, for 'aim to put in some good licks for Republican candid-ales, and now that she convention lus seta prou.i to Dominate him few County Cleik, for ihich he Ls in every way well qua) i.iied, the voters of this county will -ee that he Ls not dis:qpointed on election, day. Cmcmr Clk.kk ani Rkcimuu'.k. We would like to ask when and vhere have the people of this county ':ver hail a belle: qualified,, more 'bJijde, or kindlier inclined Circuit S'leik and. Recorder thaji the man a-Iio fills this office at the present timer .AV.. C. Thomas There is. n) inics 'i(H) but what he has. nude one ot the Vs officers the county has ever had, nd ilerc is no reason why he. should ii.it be re-elected., Of course. Ik will be. A man who is so, effijeievjt,, and Ms shown himself by his work to be i;e.U nnlilj.ed. and, at, the, same. time so accommodating as, an officer, will not be forgotten on election day. For a long time Mr. Thomas was in business in the northwest part of the county, and gets hisJargest vote from the precincts where he is best known. His re-election is already conceded by Republicans and Democrats alike, and there is no question but what Circuit Clerk Thomas will occupy his present quarters four years longer. For Counts' Com.kctok. Some of our people did not know I'cter J. Siegel before the present cam paign, but we all know him now, and the more we know him the better we like him. Pete Siegle has never been a candidate for office that we know of, but for a hard, earnest worker for the Republican ticket, in each and every campaign, he has few equals. When the fanners started a little bank up at Syracuse, in looking around for a man with the ability, and at the same time a man in whom they had every confidence, to take charge, their choice at once fell on I'cter J. Siegel, our candidate for Collector. What better recommendation can be asked? He is one of our German cit izens, is in every way qualified, and when the votes are cast on the 6th of November, l'ete Siegel will be our Collector by a large majority. 1'oit SllKKIKt'. Our present Sheriff and candidate for re-election, Chas. K. Willson. is certainly worthy of every voter's con sideration, as a man and an officer. He has made one of the best sheriffs this county has ever had, and comes before the people with every assur ance of being continued in office. No officer looks after the business of his office in a more thorough manner than he does, and yet he goes about it in such a quiet manner that a per son would never figure on his being an officer unless he does something that requires the sheriff's attention, then he soon finds out who is sheriff. Charlie Willson has nothing to fear'at the coming election, for there is no question of his re-election. Koit I'rosi'.cutini; Attoknkv. W. T. S. Agee, the present Prose- :uting Attorney anil candidate for re election, certainly comes before the people with a record that any one ought to be proud of, and which is ' sure to command the best considera tion of all voters on election day. Attorney Agee can show where he has saved over 8100 in criminal costs to our tax-payers and turned in more cash to the county treasurer than has been done before in years. This is because he is a good lawyer, having been in constant practice for twenty years, and knows how and when to protect the interests of the county. With such a record, the voters of this county will not turn Attorney Agee down on the (5th ol next month, He ought to be re-elected, and will be. Ouu I'roiuti: Judci:. Our present Probate Judge, II. K, Neville, certainly don't need much of an introduction to the people ot this county. About every one, ex cept those whose estates he has ad ministered on, knows Judge Neville. There never has been a man in this county holding the office of probate judge who is better qualified for the position than he is. A sober, indus trious, good citizen, a splendid law yer, and a man of most excellent judgment, gives him about every qualification necessary for this office. Judge Neville is a candidate tor re election, and there is no doubt of his election by the largest majority of any officer in the county. Knit County Tukasijkek. J. W. Johnson, our present County Treasiuer, Uy his conduct in office luring the last two years, has cer tainly spoken rjjose and. better words for himselAthau anything we can say. Heretofore our county treasurers have combined the is office with, other, work and it was not always easy to. 0,nd. thmj, when UuMm:s.S vy.a.s tp. b.e OUR Fall and Winter Goods la complete consisting of the latest on the marHet In Ladies' Coats.

Yours for Business, Carl On the transacted. With Mr. Johnson it has been different. After the last elec tion he at once secured the office and settled down to his work, and in sea son and out of season the county treasurer is always to be found, lie has made a most efficient and careful officer, is a first-class citizen and in every way qualified to fill the office lo which there is no question of his re-election. Kor Cokoxkr. Dr. J. A. Hraden is our candidate for Coroner, ls there any one in Morgan County that don't know Dr. liraden? If so, he has missed an opportunity. He is a doctor, a far mer, and one of the most industrious citizens that the southwest part of the county can scratch up. He is a fine physician and can cure any disease that is curable. However, if he can't cure a case, no one is better qualified to "sit" on the body than Dr. J. A. Hraden. Kor Sukvkvok. W. R. Stevenson, our candidate for Surveyor, has long been counted as one of the most energetic workers in the party. He has always been ready and willing at any and all times to work for the Republican ticket. Now that he is a candidate for an office that he has the ability to fill, and will prove in every way satisfac tory, his election is already assured. I'o u Ji'DoK First District. Smith Inge, who is our candidate for Judge of the First District, is a man that has the confidence of all who know him. While he has not as large an acquaintance as some others on the ticket, he is a good, substan tial and reliable citizen, a farmer by occupation, a man ol sound judgment ami well qualified for the position to which he aspires. Koit JutKjK. Second District. Sam W. Spears, our candidate for Judge of the Second District, has proven himself, during the last term, to be one of the best county judges we have ever had, and there is no reason why he should not be elected by a larger majority than before. He is one of our must substantial farmeis, a muulier one citizen, and a man in every way qualified for the position of judge ol his district, as lias been thoroughly proven. Sam Spears has nothing to fear on election day. Kor. Pkksidim: J,tii.'it. Our candidate tor Presiding Judge.

If you want to know how John Kidwell stands, go out among the people where he lives, j date for Justice, possesses all the qual and ask them, without regard to poli-j ideations necessary and already has tics, and get your answer. Mr. Kid well is not only a good farmer, but a man whose judgment fully qualifies him for the office of Presiding Judge. An accident has kept him from mak ing as thorough a canvass as he would have made otherwise, but when the fith of November conies around, the people of Morgan County are going to show their confidence in John Kidwell by giving him a rousing ma jority. Kor Justices or tuk Pkact.. When it conies to our candidates for Justices of the Peace, it would have been hard for the convention to have picked out better men than they did. Krcd Kuecl; has lived so lon in the west part of the county and is so favorably known that it seems un necessary for us to try lo recommend him to the people where he is so well known. He is all right. J. S, McKinley has been one of the hardest workers in the Republican ranks. He has lived for years clown on Indian Creek, and whenever the Republican candidates have wanted a good place to board when touring the county, or some one to do hard work for the party, they have always gone to Jim McKinley. Ci. W. Kovvlen is another old citizen that we all know.. He has been one of the reliable Republicans, and he is in every way qualified to fill the posi-' tiou,of.
