Ludwick, father-in-law of Judge Graves, who has been very ill forthe past two or three weeks, was re- posted to be very low and his death at any moment would not be unex- pected by the family.

We don’t want to list Brother Hardy of the Rockville Refler, as a kicker. He had a fair show before the primary, which was conducted in afair and impartial manner. Bro.
