Interesting Paragraphs From the Various Deportments OF JASPER COUNTY CAPITOL Legal News Epitomized — Together With Other Notes Gathered by Us From the Various County Offices. The April meeting of the county commissioners will convene Monday. F. W. Fisher, O. M. Turner, Fred McGlynn and Clarence Armstrong from the north part of the county were visitors in the city Friday. We see that our old friend, A. D. Babcock, of Goodland is out for the Democratic nomination for judge of this district. After an acquaintance of a life-time we can say that there is nothing in his record that would militate against him having this office. He has practiced law during all these years and has a clean record. While we differ with him politically, we can’t believe any harder in what we think to be right than does A. D,, and if the office comes to him we believe he will fill it with credit to himself and his friends-. —Goodland Herald.
