Wf bar* tbc pleasure this week
m prwotiDi to oor nadcn the
heme of John J Bouquot. who it
• candidate for the alw of sheriff
of Woodward count?, subject to
lb« will of tbo democratic primary.
May 23d. It hardlj seems ueees-
Mrv to aa? aach on this subject,
because of Mr. Bouquo'.’s wide
rauge of fritoda and supportara,
ant will do so aa it ia customary
and a pleevore at iba tame lima.
Mr. uouquot same to this count?
aoon after tba opening and baa la-
ken a band in building up Wood-
ward count? from raw prairia to
beauiltul farms id every direction.
▲11 tbia lime be baa been a farmer,
accept while be waa serving aa
depot? aberiff under Sheriff Stump,
and the duties ot the office would
uot be entirely uew to bun because
ot such service. The people oould
rel? on John J. as being honest as
well as capable and could bank on
tbo duties of the ape riff's office be-
mg managed in a moat aatiafaotorv
manner, should be be selected for
Ibe position, cousequeutl? tbc dem-
ocrats will make uo mistake if the?
nomiuate him.
Big Kaal Batata Dual.
▲ real estate deal of more than
ordinary importance took place tbe
past week, when 0. E. Hall traded
bis lieery stable and residenoe in
tbia city to 0. H. Wylie fora
bouse in Quinlan and a farm near
that town. Mr. Wiley comes into
a good bnaiuess and one that would
uot bare been #o eaav to secure,
bad tbe lorrner proprietor’s health
permitted him to keep obarge of
the same. Tbe uew owucr ex
pects to improee tbe stable by
buviug new teams aud buggies,
aud his famtlv will more to Curtis
uext week. We understand that
Mr. Hall docs uot expect to leave
this ell) soou, at least, but traded
simply lo get out of business on
aucouut of bi* health and may en-
gage iu some other hue. He has
uot over halt sold bis real estate
boidiugr here aud will probably
manage his properly holdings aud
take a real tor a tew mouths, for
that is about as long aa 0. E.
Hall’s uaturc will allow bnn to
remain idle.
Tbe Postoffice Change.
The dad* papers have auuouucet
that Cyrus l). bailer Uas beeu ap
pointed postmaster in this cut am
we have received a letter from Hon
B. 6. McGuire, exteudiug congrat-
ulations. Of comae, we feel deeply
gralefnl '.o tbe people of Cams ant
others in securing the office for ua,
but our feeliugs mav taka on a
wonderful chauge after boldiug the
poeiuou awhile. It is not likely
that we will take charge of tbe
office betwle .ViaV 1st Mild tbeu will
ask ibe palrous of the office to ex-
tern! lheir ubarilv to us for tbe
mistakes that will Uuppeu. M. H.
Lvdeu. who has held me posiliou
for six tears, deserves Ibe thanks
of tbe pslrous of tue office fm
mauagiug tbe postal affairs of this
city so well. He has made mis-
takes, and who has uotf But tbe
fad alone of his long continuance
in tifllrr speaks volumes of praise
for bun
