Editor Farm and Factory: in your Issue of last week there was a brief Sketch of Robt. H. lloyd, one of the candidates for the office of Coroner. This ls1 an office of ?rent importance because in cases of homicide thc suc cessful administration of Justice and the punishment of the guilty, very much depends upon ?he thorough in vestigation by the Coroner at the in quest, and besides this, in case of the death, resignation or disqualifi cation of the Sheriff the responsible duties of that office devolve upon the Coroner, hence he should bo a man fully qualified to discharge the duties of both Coroner and Sheriff. Without desiring to disparage any of the other candidates I wish to say that tn Robert H. Royd we have such a man-sober, energetic, Intelligent and thoroughly competent. He is the only son of Major J. L. Boyd, deceased, well known to many of your readers as a useful and patri otic citizen, and though without any political ambition was more than once honored with publie office. For a number of years ho was major of the State Militia, a member of the Constitutional Convention and a sol dier among those who fought for the Lost Cause. Having known Bob from his child hood I can safely say "ho ls a worthy ! son of a worthy sire." My object in writing this Is that those who do not know him may hoar what kind of a man he is, as the character of his business ls such thnt he cannot at tend the campaign meetings on Sat urdays. A Friend. EARLK AV. LOWRY, Candidate im County Commissioner* if elected i will ende vor to dis charge tho duties of the office faith fully and satisfactorily.
