aspirants have friends in every sec?
tion of the county who will work for
them to the finish. Mr. Sanders is
not without legislative experience,
having represented the county in the
House, and if he should win out this
time will make an efficient and ac?
ceptable representative in the upper

Frank Robertson got up in a few mo?
ments and asked for a street to be
opened in the section where Dutton

their graves. She does not care to
leave this matter to others.
On Sue's monument is this inscrip?
