host of friends in the county who
will delight to aid him in the fur
therance ot his candidacy for this
office.
Treasurer Stephenson will be op¬
posed by Messrs. W. H. ’Veils, C.
L. Harwell and Wm. Boyd. Than
Mr. Stephenson no citizen of the
county has a wider acquaintance
or stauncher friends, and he has
filled the office with ability and
to satisfaction of the people. His,
opponents are genial, capable, up
right and popular and will be giv¬
en a rousing vote in the primary,
to be sure.
For Tax Receiver, The Enter¬
prise has heard of no opposition to
Mr. J. F. Lunsford. He is a pop¬
ular and painstaking officer and is
very strong with the voters in city
and county.
The Enterprise has heard of no
one who wants to oppose Tax Col¬
lector Ramsey. He has made a
most satisfactory record and has
discharged the duties of the office
with great satisfaction to the peo¬
ple, is a clever conscientious and
faithful officer, and knows most of
the voters personally, and they all
like him.
The many friends of Mr. John
B. Davis, Jr , are urging him to
make the race for representative
of Newton county. Mr. Davis is
or.e of the city’s most influential
young man and would make New¬
ton a creditable representative
should he decide to make the race
The friends of Col. J. C. Knox,
the well known young attorney, of
this city, are urgkig him to make
the race for representative from
this county in the Legislature.
Col. Knox has the matter under
consideration, and should he de¬
cide 13 make the race, he will, no
doubt have a very strong following,
as he is quite popular amoug the
young men of this community.
Hon. L. L. Middlebrook has
been very favorably mentioned as
a probable candidate for Rep¬
resentative from this county.
Cob Middlebrook is too well known
to the people of Newton county to
need an introduction from us.
He has represented this couuty
both in the House and Senate, and
our people today feci proud of the
record made by him in this
capacity.
Hon. P. D. Coffee, one of the
county’s leading citizens and pres¬
ident of the Farmers’ Institute of
the Fifth Congressional district, is
being urged by his numerous
friends to enter the race for Rep¬
resentative of this county. Mr.
Coffee is an extensive land owner
'ot the county and is a stockholder
a several of our largest banks.
He is very popular and should he
decide to enter the race would
make things warm for his oppo¬
nents. Mr. Coffee has been in
feeble health for sometime past,
but last reports are that he is rap
improving,

10,000 miles on his feet, and has
been in nearly every civilized coun¬
try in the world.
