Ballew For Sheriff.
The sheriff’s race this year
promises to be the warmest
frav of the whole campaign in
s \
/
l
commendation at our
has made the township of Un-4 j
ion an excellent constable and
the city of Newport a good mar
shal, both elective positions that
bespeak the confidence of the
people among whom he has lived
and who know him best.
As an officer, Mr. Ballew has j
ever shown good judgment ancti
a capacity to work out difficult'
cases, resulting in the apprehen-;
sion of parties wanted. He hasj
the personal courage required ;
in a sheriff and combines with
it that discretion and tact which
seldom blunders a case.
Mr. Ballew has always been a
strict party man and this is his
first entrance into county poli
tics, though by long residence
here and an affable nature has
made many friends in all parts
of the county upon whose sup
port he may rely with confi
dence, and who with equal as
surance, can vouch for their
candidate friend making a good
sheriff if honored by the voters
of Jackson.
Announces For Second Term.
J. M. Ivy, better known as
“Jake” Ivy, has requested us to
announce his candidacy for a
svecond term as treasurer of
i
Jackson county, and the Inde
pendent takes unusual pleasure
in so doing. Announcements
are always a pleasure to a news
....J
incur axiu t mu uit*
repress his gratification but
must give vent to his pleasure.
However in Mr. Ivy’s case, this l
feeling is increased because of
the high regard in which he is
held by this paper and the peo
ple among he now lives and who
have come to know7 him better
and value him the higher.
He will probably not have any
opposition. There is none in
'sight and this is due largely to
I the good record he has made
an<^i his personal popularity,
i For a second term, it is doubtful
if he could be defeated by any
jnan in the county.
His integrity is never ques
tioned, his records have been
carefully, systematically and ac
curately kept, he has been a
close attendant upon his office,
ready at all times for those who
'had business with the treasurer
and as accommodating and clev
ier to the humblest as well as
the highest as any people could
desire of an official.
1 His record and the man him
self are both worthy of unquali
fied endorsement and we hope
to see him get every vote cast
in the primary.
