leaving a dollar for his subscrip

Mr. Burford is an old time
iriend of the editor of this paper,
having known him practically all
of his life, and we hate always
known him to be an upright and
fair dealing gentleman. The
short time that he served on the
Board, filling tlK> unexpired term
of Jake Collar, he gave ample
proof of his ability to properly
fill the office, and he respectfully
asks the voters of this district to
give him their support at the
coming election.
