There is a general awakening of the people everywhere to the fact that men should not be elected to office many consecutive terms. The general tendency now is to one term as in the township trustee's office which the law limits with two at the outside. Mayor Herron is asking for his fourth term and Treasurer Flippo has been in for 15 years. Why elect them longer? Do they deserve offices for life? If the offices area good thing, pass them around and let the present incumbents get out and hustle like other men. If they ate bad why inflict them on a man so long. Pass the offices around.
W. C. Dudding, returned last Friday from his spring delivery of fruit trees in Illinois and reports the conntry there in good shipe. He says the people about Dixon are largely engaged in the dairy business and that a milk condensing factory there pays out from $60,000 to $70,000 every two mouths for milk, or over $1,000 "per day. That means rich lands and a prosperous community with plenty of money. If Hancock County would go largely into the dairy, poultry, small fruits, gardening and canning business, it wouid add largely to the wealth of our county. Take a specialty or two and push ami success will crown your efforts.

The Republican Candidates for City Offices.
We have spoken elswhere of George W. Duncan as a live, active, enterprising successful man, who has shows in the management of hi9 own affairs that he is capable of looking after the city's interests, and should, and will be elected Mayor.
Riley McKown, the candidate for clerk, is a hard working, industrious, honest and capable mechanic, and as such deserves the support of all laboring men. As a penman he is unsurpassed, writing a rapid, elegant hand, and his scholarship is such that the records would be kept accurately and neatly. Mr. McKown is a yeung man who will succeed, because he is kind, obligicg, prompt and faithful in all work falling to his lot and therefore wins success by deserving it in its fullest measure. Vote for W. R. Mckown for Clerk.
Wm. G. Smith, the candidate for Treasurer, is an old soldier, who had an eye shot out while serving his country. He has long been a citizen here, is known as a quiet, industrious man whose every name and presence bespeaks his honesty, and commands the confidence of all our people. Voue for Wm. G. Smith for treasurer,
Emery Scott, for marshal, is a man who has shown his efficiency for the office by his record as third ward policeman. In 1893 his home and contents burned, and he lost everything he had. He needs the office and will make an excellent official, therefore vote for him for marshal.
FOR COUNCILMEX.
The Republican candidate for Councilman, Fred Beecher, in the First Ward, is an old resident and has had experience in the council. He is a mau of judgment, one who knows what a live, progressive city needs, and whose record shows he can be depended upon to look after the best interests of his constituents.
F. G. Banker, candidate in the Second Ward is a man who has shown capacity in bis own business, and has been a live, active man, giving employment to many hands in his brick business and has done much in building up our city. F. G. Banker is just such a man as the city needs for councilman, as he is safe and conserv ative, and will see that the interests of Greenfield are well cared for.
Taylor Morford in the Third Ward, is a man whom everybody knows and desires to re-elect as councilman. It is safe to say that in the future as in the past he will be capable, honest and energetic. He needs no greater or higher recommendation than his record gives him.
Take the Republican candidaies, they are clean, upright, capable men, who deserve your confidence and votes. They are men in whom we can take pride, and guarantee that when elected they will work for the best interests of the city and taxpayers
