himself aa clerk of the Record's
Court. He has held this posi>n
for only a part of a term and
i has been a competent and conrteis
official and in all fairness should

He is from the country and still
>lds his residence at his old home
i Blounta Creek precinct and while
have nothing to say against any of
a other candidates for this position
wish to call the attention of all of
e voters, both from the country and
>e town, to the fact that all of the
indldates for Judge of this court and
ro of the three candidates for clerk
e from the city of Washington. It
oka like it would be better division
give at least this place to the man
