“One thing I would like to know:”
said a farmer to Candidate Nobles
the other day as the candidate pulled
lip at the farmer's gate ana told his
business. ‘'Which of you candidates
has Stole the most sheep.”
Mr Nobles paused a moment and
then told the gentleman that he
supposed he had hooked more sheep
than all the other candidates for
sheriff combined. Then he told of
an inoident when he aud his brother-
indaw, J. ,T Carlisle, owned about
] ,400 head. He said one day when
they were marking and branding'
lambs, they picked up one by mis
take that belonged to-a neighbor,
Mr Boatright. When tnev found
out their mistake, Mr Nobles got
on his horse and put out to tell Mr
Boatright of the case, and have-him
mark ana brand one of theirs in its
plaoe. Mr Boatright teased Mr.
Nobles quite a while about taking
the lamb, and then fold him that if
he, Mr. Robles, would help him pen
that bunch of sheep ho had just
turned out he would show him that,
he, Mr Boatright, had done the
same thing. Such things were
oommon in the days o f the sheep in
this county, as the only way to tell
to whom a lamb belonged was to
see which sheep it lollowed for a
mother. ThiB, he said, was the onlv
time, so for as he knew, that he
ever appropriated another man’s
sheep to his own use, and he thought
none of the other oaudidate3 had
even done that The farmer said
lie would have to support Mr Nobles
that being the best record they
could make.
