Hook, who has so faithfully and competently filled the office of circuit clerk of St, Clair county for the past three years is asking a re-nomination. Well, Ed is one of the best fellows we ever knew and a better democrat never cast a ballot, and the party would do just about the proper thing to re- nominate him. C. E. Culver, youngest son of A. H. Culver, has gone to Ridgeway, Colo- rado, to spend the summer: Ed. has been in bad health for some time and goes hoping the change will be bene- ficial to him.
