The election passed off very quietly although the contests were close ana the friends of the respective candidates showed unusual activity. The second races promise even greater efforts and a tremendous vote is expected. No one at this stage can predict the fii al results but whatever they may be, it is certain that complete acquiescence will be given. That is the Democratic spirit which should prevail in all contests submitted to the people. To The People of Lexington Cmuitv I desire to thank the people for their kindly consideration of my candidacy for Clerk of Court in the recent primary and especially my friends who stood so loyally by me in the face of the fierce assaults made upon me. I am sure it will be gratifying to them, to the people, as it is to me, to know that with all said about me derogative of my character I carried every box at which I have lived and the two boxes at which I was born and raised by handsome majorities. At Grout's Store, where I was born and where I married, my vote was 52 to 30 for both of my opponents. At Summit, where I was raised, my vote was35 to 23 for both of my opponents, while at Lexington where I have lived for only eight years and where ray opoonent for the second race has lived all his life, where his family and relatives live, I beat him. I take this as an indisputable testiT?An?ol mw rtViaTonhar a a j? man anrl UiVUXCUl CV '"J VUWAWVW* WW w? AMW4U. WMW as a citizen and as an evidence of the belief of those who know ns best in my competency and fitness for the place. My campaign just ended was made upon my merit as a man and as an official. I attacked no man's character, indulged in no bitter, mean personalities, slung no mud and in the campaign to follow, I promise you the same clean, manly, straightforward fight that I have always made in every race I have run. I promise, if elected, that same faithful and impartial service which I have always given as an official. I feel 9ure my friends will continue their loyal efforts in my behalf, and - to them and to all, I express in advance my deepest appreciation. Very respectfully, Frank W. Shealy. i < ? > Col.

Excellent Health Advice. Mrs. M. M. Davison, of No. 379 Gifford Ave., San Jose. Cal., says: "The worth of Electric Bitters as a general family remedy, for headache, biliousness and torpor of the liver and bowels is so pronounced that I am prompted to say a word in its favor, for the benefit of those seeking relief from such afflictions. There is more health for the digestive organs in a bottle of Electric Bitters than in any other remedy I know of." Sold under guarantee-at Derrick's Drug Store and Kaufmann Drug Co. 50c.
