He isa cool, clear logician, and a gentleman sazs pure etsans reproche. Sucha man we want and need as an elector. He will make a brillant canvass, and no act of his will cast a blot up- onour escutcheon. We _ say this without his knowledge, and for aught we know contrary to his wish, Dut it is right to pass honors around, no gentleman in the district 1s more worthy than the Hon. D. A. DeAr- mond.’’ The above we clip from the Henry County Democrat and most heartily endorse every word it utters. Senator DeArmond has made his home among us tor a little over one year and dur- ing that time he has gained the con- fidence and esteem of his adopted people. He is one of the most tal- ented lawyers at the Bates county bar besides being a courteous, clever gentleman, competent and worthy in every respect, and we believe, we but voice the sentiments of Bates county's people, when we say that this county but honors herself in y DeArmond, of honoring D. Rich Hill, and we heartiest support should he sce allow his name to be used for elector from this district. RESOUE OF GREELY AND = We publish in ano news of the rescue of Lieut.
