Charles L. Bowman for Commissioner
I As tax-payers of Union, we believe
'that C. L. Bowman is one of the best
'qualified men in the county to prop,
lerly and wisely handle the people's
(money. He is straightforward, hon
est and competent, one of the best in
formed men in the county as well as
one of the most conscientious.
And then, too, Marshville township
has not had a commissioner since the
late A. J. Brooks served on this board
about twelve or fifteen years ago,
and we believe the citizens of the en
, tire county will recognize Marshville
: township's just claim to one member
I of the next board and will elect C. L.
; Bowman with a big majority.

H. G. Nash for County Cimmiwioner
; As tax-payers of Union county, we
believe that H. G. Nash is one of the
best qualified men in the county to
, properly and carefully handle the
'peoples momy. He is straightfor
ward, honest and competent, and one
of the biggest and best business men
.of the county, and knows the needs of
i the people of the county. He is in fa
vor of taking care of the peoples'
money, and of cutting out all useless
offices and making our taxes lower.

Dv. Stewart then arose and veered
it. .. letely from the subject of graft

teach anyhow until they got married.
