Mr. John B. McCrnuio, ,who Inis
filled the office of Tax Receiver of
Berrien County for the past, term,
places his announcement for re-
election in to-day’s paper. It is un
necessary for The Gazette to say
anything commendatory of him as
lie and his ability to fill the oflice ac
ceptably is well known to the people
of the county,
1 The Gazette places before its
readers to-day two announcements
for sheriff of Berrien county. We
believe tliut either of the gentlemen
—Messrs. Bryant W. Graddy and W.
L. Swindle—would make an efficient
sheriff. They are justly popular in
their sections and will make good
races.
W. It. Nelson, who Is in the drug busi
ness at Klngvlllu, Mo., has so much con*
fidenco in Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrheas Remedy that lie warrants
every bottle and oilers to refund die
money to any customer who Is not satis
fied after using It. Mr. Nelson'takes no
risk In doing HiIh because the remedy is
a certain cuito for the dlsonsecs for which
It is intended and lie knows it. It Is for
sale by Tifton Drugstore.
