the duty of every tax-payer next to vote his sentiment# at the **>11*. ; is his duty to vote for theae candidates will best serve your interests. During the past two years the democrats have had charge of the county’? business affairs and they have been administered in an economical manner. The expenditures have been very largely. During the past year of commissioners has been under control and it has been in sesUy during the time required by law allowances have been greatly reand all affairs is done in a businessmanner. The people several years ago for a change which was greatly to detriment of the county’s financial couIn 1896 they got tired of the management and voted for another change, which has proven satisfactory beyond any question and it is now the duty of voters to elect the democratic county ticket from top to bottom. They are all well known eitiaens of our oounty; are competent tneu; honest and trustworthy in every respect, and should receive the support of the voters without regard to past party affiliations. Mr. Voter, consider these matters when you go to mark your ballot next Tuesday. The Press says Jiui Brumfield never voted anything but a republican ticket. * Brumfield was a national party man when Peter Cooper and James B. Weaver were candidates on the presidential tickets of that party. Jim was the fusion candidate of the greenback party when the republicans and greenbuckers fused in 1886. Was he always a republican ? Tax farmer who had a mortgage on his farm of $1,800 in 1873, the year silver was demonetised, oould hare paid it off then with 1,564 bushels of wheat. Today it , would take &000 bushels, a difference of 1,496 bushels. A pretty good price for voting the republican ticket. Billy Ridgway has made an excellent record as sheriff of the county, and one that every citizen should be proud of. He has saved the tax-payers more than $3,000 In oonrt expenses during his two years as On official. The records at the court house will bear out the statement Kdward P. Richardson for senator, is a resklent of Pike county and should receive the vote of every citizen who believes the position should be held by a home man. His ability is unquestioned, lie ha? many j friends of all [tarties who will support him | next Tuesday.

The county treasurer’s office demands a man of honor and strictest integrity. The people know that Owen Smith fills the bill as he has been tried for the term. He has i been an accommodating official in every j respect and carefully guards the funds of | the taxpayers. Remember when yoi go to cast your vote ' for auditor that Harrikm Scales is a com- i jh-tent and worthy citizen for the position. The uftke is an important one to the taxpayer and demands a man who is efficient and competent. Lew Trayler will be the next clerk of the circuit court. Why? because he is competent in every way to fill the office. He is well acquainted with the people and they will support him uext Tuesday. Look out tot' the many false runrors that will be started on the ere of election wheu they cannot be refuted. Vote early next Tuesday morning and don’t forget to make an X in the square containing the rooster. Vote for the best interests of the taxpayers. Make an X in the circle containing the rooster.
