Three of our boys went fishing last Monday night and stayed till 12 o'clock, and did not catch but nine little minnows. Boys, I advise you to stay at home in the future. Franklin County’s Officers. Franklin has as good a corps of county officers as can be found in the State. Everyone without exception is efficient as to his duties. While other counties are fretting about high taxes and exposing corruption, 1* rank- lin is unmolested. She is free from ......w *..... . .... £ law, and Lis books open to inspection. This is a commendable showing for the county, and we should not be neg¬ ligent in keeping it this way- To Lave good comity officer; i; no matter. You will find a good line of harness at A. W.

There is a strong sentiment tliro’- out the county that Colonel Dortch, owing to his well known ability and close alliance with the county’s prog¬ ress, is tin* proper man to represent the people in the next Legislature. CAl'T. .1. II. SI.K!II. Captain Sligh is a progressive fann¬ er and a man with a good stock of practical information, lie has many friends that would like to see him wearing legislative honors. m. r. .r. not,BROOK. .There is a general impression in the county that if the above named gen¬ tleman allows his name as a candidate that his chances for election are very good. He is president of the County Alliance, and it is thought would have a strong following in the order. Hi* devotes the most of his time to farm- ing. S. M. AYERS. Mr. Ayers is prominently spoken of by bis numerous friends. His su¬ perior ability in business affairs and his identity with the laboring class will most certainly give him a strong following if he should consent to make the race. A. X. KINO, ESQ. “Gus,” as lie is familiarly known, has a record which of itself would make him a strong candidate for any Franklin county office that he might wish. lie is strictly a self-made man, having reached his high stand¬ ing in the county through hard and honorable struggles. His friends are in every corner of the county that would be glad to honor him with their suffrage if he should aspire to represent the county in the next General Assembly. t. \. m’karlaxd. Mr. McFarland lias been urged by his many friends for a long time to consent to his name as a candidate to the Legislature, but being a farmer by profession and inclination lie has preferred to hold off, but the pres¬ sure being made <»: him by bis friends at this time will, it is thought by many, cause his candidacy. He is a systematic fanner, an enthusiastic A Him iceman, and a capable gentle¬ man. S. K. CAXXOX. Mr. Cannon stands at the very top as a successful farmer. He is closely identified with the educational inter¬ ests of the county, chock-full of bus¬ iness integrity, a leader in all enter¬ prises that have for their end the up¬ building of our county. If he could he prevailed upon to allow his candi¬ dacy he would be found to have great strength. I)R. T. O. UNDERWOOD. It is a well-known fact that Dr. Underwood has received the votes of more sub-Alliances as their first- choice to represent them in the next Legislature than any other man in the county. While many say that this does not necessarily give him the lead over all other candidates, all admit that it is a strong pul! for him. lie is recognized by many as the best man for the place in tin* county. d. m. m’coxxkll. “Mack” McConnell, as he is gen¬ erally known, is said to be the choice of his section as their next Repre¬ sentative, and would doubtless make a strong race if lie should enter the field. He has no superior as a farm¬ er in the county, and has a sound record as an honest worker for the Alliance. PROF. X. A. FRIUXS. Last, but by no means the least mentioned, is our worthy Represent¬ ative, Prof. N. A. Fricks, to succeed himself. Many of his friends think he will again he a candidate and they expect to make it mighty warm for his opponents. We present the honorable gentle- men to our readers with the remark that any of them would make a cred¬ itable representative. Attention, Camp Miilican. The members of Camp Miilican, Veterans’ Association of Franklin county, are requested to meet at the court house in Carnesville on the first Tuesday in May next, at 1 o’clock, p. m. By order of the president. J. M. Phillips, Adjutant. It makes no difference how fine your clothes are your suit is incom¬ plete without a nice hat. The latest styles at the Enterprise Store.
