Six Democratic County Candidate in one Ward In Greenfield,

There is much talk and kicking over the county about so many of the Democratic candidates for county office living in Greenfield. There are a good many and tbey are badly bunched, even here in Greenfield, as six of them live in the First Ward. Those living in the ward are Charles G. Oifutt, candidate for Judge John McNew for Prosecutor Lawrence Boring, for Auditor Geo, W. Ham, for Treasurer James Thomas, for Recorder and W. H. Pauley for Sheriff. The voters in the conncy at large are not pleased at having so many candidates here, and it does not look like the ward that has these candidates is overly well pleased. It gave Geo. W. Duncan, the Republican candidate for Mayor, three majority, and Fred Beecher, Republican candidate for Councilman, thirteen majority, although the Democratic majority was nominally twenty. This is really a Republican year however. Democratic workers are luke warm. In fhis ward even the county candidates were not hustling. The Democratic leaders who made such wonderful promises to get in control of the government, have practically done nothing, and the people will rebuke them, by turning them out.

Takes a Map Iu a Bath Tub.

Last Sunday, Otis Orr, a barber with Loehr & Boring, rode to Walnut Ridge on a bicycle and came home via Carthage. Starting home late in the evening, he unfortnnately punctured his pneumatic tire when a mile or two out and concluded to walk home and lead his crippled steed. He reached here at 3 a. m. and thought he would just go in the shop and take a good bath before breakfast. When he got in the warm water, its soothing effect put him to sleep. When Ed Boring opened the bath room about 6 a. m., he was surprised and terrified by what he thought was a corpse. He ran to Kinder's livery stable and related his discovery. Ed Kinder went over and called W. H. Marsh, as Boring did not propose to go in any more. The find was not a dead one, only a sleeper, whose mouth was only an inch or so out of the water with his head against the side of the tub. Otis says he slept very well, but strangled once or twice as he reckoned he must have slipped into the water. He might have drowned. We don't know who was the worst sold Orr or Boriug.

Tiie Republican Primary Next Saturday* Will lie a ltouser.

As the next trustee and assessor of Center township will be nominated next Saturday the Republicans are taking much interest in the township primary, and there will be a full vote out. The fight is a brisk one all along the line between the candidates aud their friends., The result will no doubt be satisfactory, as there is a good field to select from.

For Trustee:—Joseph E. Hatfield, John K. Henby, Elmer E. Gant, For Assessor:—James T. Bodkins, Samuel F. Curry.

Justices:—Joseph S. Franklin, Maxwell precinct, Samuel S. Bradley, Maxwell precinct.

Ti.ree Justices and three constables are to be selected, and it is really time they were announcing themselves. One voting place will be at Maxwell for the precincts that usually vote there, and all the Greenfield prccincts will vote in the Wilson Block, corner Main and Pennsylvania streets. Let the voters come in early. For manner of voting see call on fourth page.

Ou the follow ing evening, a large number of the friends of the groom met at the home ot his mother to welcome the bride to her new home. The evening was spent pleasautly in social conversation. Ice cream and cake were served. Elmer is to be congratulated in having won one of Rush county's best girls.
