His education and experience peculiarly fit himfor an important office of this kind. He feels that he has labored to great disadvantage in the county clerk’s office, in that he has been without an official home, his office being torn up during the whole of his term, without any systematic arrangement for the proper conduct of the duties, in spite of which he takes a pride in’ the splendid, ne- curate and up-to-date condition of his books and their careful inspection, Mr. Broaddus feels that the people care more for efficiency in Office, than that the spoils shoul passed around, and that to make a good officer should be no bar toa He has been an active democratic worker all his life, is eu- tlemanly, popular and deserving and his name would add strength to the ticket, Bates invites second tern. D. D, PEELER. Tue Tres takes pleasure (his week in calling attention to the announce- ment of the above named gentleman, Mr. Peeler is asking the nomination for recorder, and that he will be strictly in the race, there is no ques- tion. No manin the county is bet- ter known, and he has substantial friends in every township who will take delight in assisting him in his abition. On behalf of Mr. Peeler as an excellent, high-minded and honor- able citizens Te Trtes cannot say toomuchin his favor. As a denio- erat he has never faltered in his de- votion to the principals of the party, and has always taken an active part in every campaign for the success of the ticket. Right here we might add that we have been assured by Mr. Peeler that the report put in cireula- tion that he voted against Joe T. Smith and used his influence against his election in the campaign of 1900 is without the slightest foundation. “Tam a democrat,’ said he, and vote the ticket from road overseer to president. Mr, Peeler resides in the southeast part of the county and is a genial, hospituble gentleman, an ex-confederate soldier, and if success crowns his efforts in this race will make the county an officer to be proud of, and no democrat will have occasion to regret having given him his support. G. W. WALTON, another one of Bates county’s most honorable and upright citizens and old line democratic workers, is for the first time asking the party of Bates county for office, being a can- didate for the nomination of Record- er. Mr. Walton was one of the pio-|b neer citizens of Bates county and materially assisted in the develop- ment of her vast resources. He has been a prominent, prosperous and in- fluential farmer and stock dealer all his life, and by his honorable and up- | fa right course and dealings at all time, has won the respect and high esteem of all good citizens. There have been few Democratic conventions in Bates county in which Mr. Walton was not a delegate from his town- ship, and he always endeavored to safeguard the party’s interests. He is well qualified to perform the duties of the office to which he aspires, is a clever, courteous, accommodating gentleman, true to his friends and popular with all. He will make a strong candidate and his nomination \ would add strength to the ticket. | H. H. HAVELY, He Killed His Only Brother.

D. A. COLYER, an expert the veteran democrat, again asks at the hands of the party the nomina- tion for sheriff of Bates county, Mr. Colyer served two terms us sheriff of this county retiring six years ago. As a competent and efficient ofticial, his record speaks for him. He isa tle. man and true as steel to a friend, We doubt if there is a man in the county with a more extended ac- quaintance. Therefore, the people being acquainted with him and know- ing his qualifications and fitness for the office he seeks, in supporting him nominated and elected all are assured that the coun- ty will have a fearless and aggressive man in this most important office, and it is xale to host of warm and iufluential friends all over the county whe will be only too glad to lend him their cordial support at the primarye April 19th, and use their best effort in aiding him in securing the nomination. Under all cireumstances Mr. Colyer has never defaulted in his democracy and his. private and official life has always been upright and honorable. big hearted, clever, sociable and in case he is Senator Vest, although feeble, made one of the greatest speeches of his life in the Senate Monday in opposition to ship subsidy bill, claiming thatits passage would result in building up a gigantic trust and that the pend- ing bill would take money out of the treasury of the United States without giving anything of value in return for it. The Cass County Democrat reports the death of D.C. Graves, of Union township. He was a democratic committeeman for his township. Life Guards, The Life Guards are two regiments of cavalry forming part of the Brit ish troops. They are gallant soldiers and every loyal British heart is proud of them. Not only the king’s house- hold, but yours, ours, everybody's should have its life guards. The need of them is especially great when the greatest foes of life, diseases, find allies in the great elements, as colds, influenza catarrh, the grip and pneu- mouia doin the stormy month of March. The best way that we know of to guard against these diseases is to strengthen the system with Hood's Sarsuparilla—the greatest of all life guards. It removes the con- ditions in which these diseases make their successiul attacks, gives vigor and tone to all the vital organs and functions, and imparts a genial warmth to the blood. Remember the weaker the system the greater the exposure to disease. Hood’s Sarsa- parilla makes the system strong. Trustee’s Sale.
