H TILING To the Citizens of Harris County: For what reason 1 do not know, the rumor persists that Mr. J. H. Hadley is making the race for Sheriff for the purpose of giving me a place as his deputy. In justice to the candidates for this office, I take tins method of saying to the public that I have no in clination or desire to held any office in Harris county other than that of Chief of the County Police. If I wanted the Sheriff’s office I certainly would have nerve enough to say so in the usual way. I, like every other good citizen, have my preference for who should serve the people as Sheriff and I expect to vote my convictions But I wish to make it plain that 1 have nothing to do with Mr. Hadley’s campaign, and am in no way connect ed therewith. I might add that I have been ap proached by a delegation of influential citizens who sought to persuade me to enter the race for Clerk of the Super ior Court; but I positively and abso lutely refused to entertain the sugges tion for the reason that I have no desire whalever to get into Harris county politics. Respectfully submitted, J. M. Huling. VALLEY PLAINS. Mis. M. A. Hale arrived last week from LaGrange to visit rela tives here. Messrs B. and D. Hines went to Duranji on business Monday.
