A Municipal Ticket.
Elsewhere over tho signature of
“citizens,” appears the names of a
number of gentlemen, as suitable can
didates for Mayor and Aldermen.
By common censent, we believe the
Hon. Atlirur Patten will havo no
opposition for Mayor. At least we
have heard of no opposition to his
candidacy. He is a most efficient
member of the present board, and
Mayor protem. Mr Patten has all
the qualities which make an execu
tive officer. He is conservative, pro
gressive, and understauds the needs
and difficulties which environ the
town. The geutiemen mentioned ns
aldermen are well known citizens,
gentlemen of broad and liberal views,
and yet conservative in their make up.
The interests of Thomasville will be
in sate hands if intrusted to their eare
for the next year. Mayor Hopkins,
as a member of the board, would add
strength to it, while Messrs. Wright
and Hayes are recognized as the
ablest financies in our midst. Their
retention on the board will insure a
careful handling of the finances of
the town. And this is a most impor
tant feature of our city government.
Messrs. Mallette,Culpepper and Mont
gomery are among tho clear headed,
progressive men of the town, and if
put on tho board, they will discharge
tho duties of the position with credit
to themselves, and to the interest of
all.
For Mayor:
ARTHUR PATTEN.
•For Aldermen:
H. VV. HOPKINS,
A. P. WRIGHT,
S. L. HAVES,
F,. M. MALLET TE,
