George P. Bonnett
Democratic Nominee for Ag-
ister of Deeds, has been in the
abstract business for 27 years and
thoroughly understands the dut-
ies of the office. No one doubts
his efficiency.
He will carefully examine all
instruments to be tiled for record
for any flaws that might occur
and have the instrument correct-
ed before tiling. No one is bet-
ter qualified to do this than Bon-
nett. His long experience in
that line will be your gain. He
also pledges that, if elected, to
perform the duties of the office
for the legal salary and will not
have a deputy at the expense of
the taxpayers of this County, thus
erally over town that there would
be four candidates for the office,
but only two were nominated.
Postmaster Smith nominated W.
F. Barnard, which was seconded
by S. W. Hogan. Avery Wight
nominated Andrew Collett, which
was seconded, and nominations
closed. The votes were cast by
those present who had signed the
petition, the result being 19 for
Collett and 20 for Barnard. The
meeting was adjourned. Barnard
furnished bond in the sum of
$1000, and was sworn into office
this morning by Justice Cole, and
will serve for the next 60 days
subject to recall at any time by a
meeting 10 signers of the peti-
tion, in case uuty is not perform-
ed, and complaint is just and
saving $1800 for the term ' The | P' fer before town council
resolution
j , , , I 1 following is a
imount saved would be one years , &
passed and approved by the citi-
zens assembled, and will be well
salary and $100 over. Your at-
tention is called to the fact that
his opponent makes no such offer
and depends on his past services
to this party to reward him. It
hardly seems possible for the tax
payers to dig up $900 per year
for rewards.
The law does not say that the
Register of Deeds shall have a
deputy, but it does say that "the
Register of Deeds shall have the
power to appoint a deputy."
Bonnett will pay his own dep-
uty when he appoints one.
The Mass Meeting
Monday evening the citizens of
Cashion met in mass meeting in
Re<5tor's hall, with the town coun-
cil, to a6t upon selecting and ap-
pointing a town marshal. Chas.
E. Price was sele6ted as secretary
of the meeting. The subject of
discussion which ensued was why
a town marshal should be ap-
pointed and the means by which
to pay him. It was passed and
approved that money should be
raised by popular subscription,
by circulating a petition among
the citizens to raise enough funds
to pay a town marshal the sum of
$30 a month for at least 2 months.
After some discussion, meeting
was adjourned for Wednesday
night, pending result of said pe-
tition.
At the meeting Wednesday
night about fifty citizens were
present, and showed their enthus-
iasm on the subject before them.
Mr. Price, afting secretary, call-
ed the house to order and read
the 45 names wrhich were on the
petition. The citizens who sub-
scribed were liberal. Then came
the proposition of choosing the
candidates. It was rumored gen
for all who signed the petition to
to keep in mind, because the citi-
zens of this town are determined
to clean up and pledge themselv-
es to stand back of and support
the marshal in enforcing the law
against all violations.

IN Order to furnish proper hanking
protection, President Lincoln and his
First Congress established the Nation-
al Bank which operates under Govern-
ment supervision.

it has every safeguard possible for hu-
man ingenuity to devise.

posit your savings or funds the one
thing to be considered is safety, and
we ask for your business only on the

plain to you how safe your money is here.
