This being campaign year, in a few j
weeks the talk of this man and the \
other "coming out to make" certain
races will be going the rounds. But
it is not mere talk neither is it idle
rumor as to the candidacy of Judge ?.
(J. Thompson for reelection to the of
fice of probate judge. He has told his
friends that he expects to he in the
field aguin, and so far as known the
question of opposition in this race has
not even been suggested. The judge
Is a veteran campaigner but the fact
of there being no apparent opposition
to his forthcoming race recalls the
campaign four years ago when he ran
and was elected unopposed. In his
case, some of his closest friends pre
dict, history will repeat itself in this
good year of grace.
It is "off year" with four Important
county officers, namely: state senator.'
clerk of court, sheriff and coroner.
But three members of the legislature
will have to bo elected as will a sup
ervisor, two commissioners, superint
endent of education, auditor and treas
urer. It Is supposed that the incum
bents will offer for reelection, but no
statement to this effect, with respect
to any of them, has been made public,
so far as Is known. Neither has there
been any special discussion of prospec
tive aspirants for any of these olllces.

1 might have crowded that whole page

, would have been one hundredth-part
i as grand as the tribute you paid the
j grand old hero. Didn't he look grand?
I Again 1 say bless your dear little
' heart for doing It.
1 did not know before till I received
that copy of the Medium that all your
. help was ladies. You are a brave lit
tle woman and you are doing a good
! work and the whole state ought to feel
proud of you, especially Abbeville
county. I want you to thank the Kills
who are helping you to get out such
an excellent paper, for me, and to
wish you all a happy New Year.--Ab
beville Medium.
