regard to it, but as for ours, we
hardly know what to say.

^ It seems that prospective candi-*
f dates are slow in announcing. themselves,
but perhaps they know best,
at any rate we are not going to shake
any bushes. Voters should bear in
mind that we need the most compertent
man in each office?the best of
men to keep the county government
running on a good baais at the very
least cost. Beware of men who
want an office for a side-line in their
business, or the men who have hitherto
done so A man cannot serve
. two masters!
Mr. F. G. Hartley, who was confined
to bis room last week, is up
and out again. Mack May.
