A Few Notes of the Republican County Convention.

Owing to the lateness of the ad-' journment of the county convention Monday, we were unable to give tfyp complete ticket nominated at the convention. Aftfer the nomination of Mr. Perkins for clerk, he was called upon for a speech, and responded in a few well choosen words. He said that he had made an honest, clean campaign for the votes and as far as he knew, his opponents had done likewise, and that he expected to make a similar campaign for election, and if elected, expected to make an honest, competent and conscientious officer. He predicted the success of the tentire ticket this fall. He invited all present at the convention to step down stairs at the close and have a smoke on him. His invitation was accepted and seven boxes of cigers were distributed. At the conclusion, of his remarks, the following nominations were made unanimously: Auditor, J. P. Hammond, of Marion township; treasurer. A. A. Fell, of Carpenter; sheriff, Louis P. Shirer, of Barkley; surveyor, W. Frank Osborne, of Marion; assessor, John Q. Lewis, of Barkley; coroner, W. J. Wright, of Marion; commissioners, first district, John F. Pettet, of Walker; second district, RobertV S. Drake, of Hanging Grove township. County councilmen, first district, S. T. Comer; second district, Nathan Eldredge; third, John C. Martindale; fourth, Frank Babcock; at large John Hudson, W. V. Porter, F. E. Lewis.
